  • Don't believe them

  • I worked at a support call center and those call backs were legit because we didn't want to have our on-hold rate above a few minutes but only had about 20 bodies to handle about 600 calls a day. The only way we could meet our internal KPIs was to offer call backs. The bonus of this was that our CSAT went up almost 15 percent with this. Win win for us and the customer.

  • The DNC is captured opposition to the GOP. The geopolitical contributions of bad actors are found in the wallets and coffers of both major organizations. At least the DNC local candidates aren't negligent monsters.

  • Why does the right complain about the left "virtue signaling", when it's often the right who does so?

  • Texas, where you are such a rugged individual that law enforcement is only set dressing. You got this! (^Except ^school ^shootings, ^where ^cops ^shoot ^kids ^and ^stop ^the ^parents)

  • Dear Autism, please tell me about your "low-demand" lifestyle

    Jump

  • Was the recommendation the broad "research this thing" or "you must adopt this"? Because it sounds like the therapist is having you look at your lifestyle to see if there are beneficial habits that can be built into your routine.

    It feels like there are some details missing from the session: did the therapist cover the low demand lifestyle or put the research and details on you? Were you previously talking about anxiety or frustration throughout your day? I don't want the details or answers but to highlight that your post was scant and set us up to disagree with the therapist. Therapists usually have a valid outside perspective and yours seems to think you will find success in how you manage and perform your habits.

  • TIL: The word Vatnik is used in Russia and other post-Soviet states for steadfast jingoistic followers of propaganda from the Russian government.

  • If Vatnik exists why call them tankies? For the Chinese vatniks? Can we broaden the definition to broadly include people who uncritically buys into propaganda?

  • African-American inventor Eugene Burkins and his machine gun, USA, sometime around or after 1900

    Jump

  • There's very little information online about this gun or the man behind it. The gun would have been a landmark in devastation being invented (and thus able to be produced at scale) a decade and a half before the biggest application of machine guns, WW1, so it's curious that there is no caliber or use case stated for the gun.

    The seeming only article about this mentioned it was based on naval cannon, which would put this into a maritime/autocannon role and up against the well established Maxim pom pom. Mr Burkin's gun had the bad fortune to enter navies during the drastic shift away from smaller caliber cannon to Dreadnaught style long range large caliber weapons.

  • The past is a funny place

  • I don't know what's worse, someone swished fermented urine around their mouth for fun or they did it enough to see their teeth whiten noticeably.

  • People who have been to psych wards before, how was it?

    Jump

  • Most folks seem to cover the emotional and psychological aspect so I'll give some practical tips.

    Shampoo and conditioner. If you are allowed to pack some or have some brought in by a visitor, do it. The hospital shampoo was really astringent and dried out my scalp horribly. After a week my head was constantly itchy from the lack of moisture. Conditioner would have saved me so much misery.

    Make friends if you can. It will make you feel better to talk. It will help others to talk. It will make you a positive influence on the ward and help get you some leniency if shit hits the fan.

    Take time with the crafts. It's so fucking boring 80% of the time that when you can make something, really put your focus into it. Take your time. It's cathartic.

    It's okay to ask for things. A lot of what you ask for will be a "no" but sometimes you'll be surprised. I didn't know I could get a shit ton of paper on request and tried to learn origami. It's something to do and you'll find what's available.

    Good luck. The ward is only scary the first time and the folks are so tired of dealing with shit (literally they all have a poo story) that you being calm is a relief. Be cool and you'll be fine.
