Oh WarCraft stopped being a passion project a long time ago - Blizzard's enshittification is pretty rampant.

If you get the itch to play WoW, 100% do so on a private server set to one of the earlier expansions.

a girl can never be hyperfeminine/sexual, chaotic, unfiltered online without ulterior motives allegations

I was thinking more sausage harvest, but unironically being in medical school looks to be pretty effective birth control. Dude ain't gonna have time to put his dick into his own hand, let alone harassing women for favors.

Brain dead woman comes back to life after ambulance hits huge pothole on UP highway

In ear and facial surgery where we use nerve monitoring, the surgeon will test for nerve activity by kinda just smacking the patient's face and seeing if it makes the machine beep.

So, even the side of healthcare associated with finesse can just boil down to "punch em a bit". Don't even get me started in orthopedic surgery.

Gun manufacturers are having a great year.

I don't think 'feeling safe' is the goal so much as the understanding that the Nazis are making a huge comeback, and that votes and protest signs don't generally do a great job of killing Nazis.

Like, if you're going down anyway, might as well bag a few Nazis on your way out; or maybe you see some Nazis harrassing someone and you're a safe distance away with a rifle.

So... you could be part of solving a gigantic problem, but it will 100% not make you safe. To the contrary, it'll make you a target.

Seventh US service member killed in Iran war after being wounded in attack in Saudi Arabia

And I'm saying that their oath will ultimately lose that "conflict," because nobody gives a shit about constitutions when it comes down to it. They're certainly not going to risk a court martial or a dishonorable discharge for the constitution.

For the vast majority, yes. Again though, we need only a single one.

There might be something that will get them to do... whatever it is you want them to do (what are you expecting here exactly)

I'm not a tactical expert - the 'how' is on them. I expect they'd engage him the same as any other enemy of the US, but I'm not about to tell them how to do their job - just to actually do their job.

You can't reject imperialism without rejecting what it means to be a US soldier.

Strongly disagree. What it actually means to be a soldier vs the ideal that the individual soldier joined for will vary from one soldier to another: the ones I'm addressing are those who fell for the propaganda and joined under the belief that they're accomplishing some good. Being duped doesn't make them irredeemable.

And yeah, the utter silence from them thus far is pretty damning, but even if encouraging them to do the right thing is a waste of time, demonizing them isn't going to accomplish anything either... So between the two, why not push them to break out of whatever it is that's holding them back? If it fails it fails, but we might as well try.

God lays out the rules for bad drivers and eternal hell

That and people who don’t understand how to zipper merge.

There's an on ramp junction of two merge lanes joining before the actual all highway near me that is perpetually backed up, and the textbook perfect situation for zipper merging.

...I've witnessed maybe three occasions ever in which the other drivers actually executed it correctly.

Daily facepalm.

Seventh US service member killed in Iran war after being wounded in attack in Saudi Arabia

Propaganda's a hell of a drug. We're raised under the belief that we're surrounded by aggressors, and that military personnel are some kind of heroic defender: that joining is an act of service and altruism.

It's bullshit, and people join for a lot of shitty reasons too, but to say there's no decent people in the military is incorrect. Even if they're a minority, there are people feeling the conflict between their oath and their orders: those people are potential allies, and should be encouraged to step up.

Demonizing them is counterproductive, even if encouraging them has been fruitless thus far. All we need is for a single one of them to take their oath seriously.

As a reminder to our troops, you swore an oath to defend the Constitution from all threats, foreign and domestic.

Right now y'all are just blindly following the domestic threat's orders. This has cost us the lives of seven servicemembers so far in this conflict alone. They didn't die defending our country, they didn't die upholding US interests, they died to help distract the country from Donald Trump raping children on Epstein's island.

You are oath-bound to put a stop to this shit. Do what's right, not what's easy - Trump will cast your brothers and sisters into the fire until he's stopped.

What's the best thing made from potatoes?

No idea. I think the pitch was for them to be biodegradable in a fairly short timespan, so I'd guess they don't hold up well to sustained moisture. If you washed them immediately after using and then dry them off, you could probably get some reusability out of them. They're not like that horrible paper shit that starts falling apart mid-use, but only ever used them after they were provided when ordering takeout - used em once and threw them out.

What's the best thing made from potatoes?

Food aside, I've used disposable spoons/forks/knives made of potato as a plastic alternative. Unlike pretty much every similar product that has a weird taste/texture or shit durability, the potato ones were pretty much indistinguishable from plastic except that the texture was kinda higher traction if that makes any sense. Like it'd kinda grab your lips a bit as they were sliding across a spoon, vs the plastic version is slightly less friction.

But, you stop noticing that after like the third bite.

Haven't seen them used in years, so no idea if they're still being produced, but it seemed like a golden standard to replace plastic the few times I used it.

Trump replacing Noem as Homeland Security secretary

Surgical tech here! It can, but it's a more expensive operation so a lot of people just don't. We can fix it later.

One of my surgeons was talking about that just a couple days ago.

Google's AI Sent an Armed Man to Steal a Robot Body for It to Inhabit, Then Encouraged Him to Kill Himself, Lawsuit Alleges. Google said in response that "unfortunately AI models are not perfect."

Recent nursing school graduate here! We had a lot of assignments to find and present data on some disease process or drug or intervention etc. Actually finding credible sources and picking out the data we need and putting it on paper is a super tedious process, and my classmates LOVED zipping through that stuff with some AI shit. And they'd get 100s on their assignments, and everything was just rainbows and unicorn farts... up until test day, where they'd fail or barely pass. Now several of them are struggling to pass the NCLEX.

Drives me insane. Like, you mother fuckers aren't here to get a grade, you're here to learn this shit so you know what to do when you see it in whatever hospital hires your dumb ass.

Definitely doesn't paint a pretty picture about the future of medicine.

Why come you no have tattoo??
