Time to stop using lemmy.world communities, fellas.

  • I don't know what counts as a major stream, but usually streams are smaller than creeks, and creeks can be pretty small. So if there are 255 water courses that are smaller than creeks... I can see it.

  • It's the identification as an american. Americans just assume everyone knows they're american, so it stands out as an obvious extremifier to point out its satirical nature.

  • I'll just sit back and observe that with interest, thank you.

  • Not the rich kid. More like the government/republikidfucker plant. Notice how every post he made has some mentioning of under the table or off the books or without a permit? He's trying to get ideas planted about how these workers are shoddy and doing illegal things and undercutting real, licensed, above board workers.

  • Yes, exactly!

  • Iain M. Banks, don't ya know!?!?

    I'm still saving a culture book or two to enjoy, but the entire setting has been amazing.

  • Optimistic me: Oh, smart, yeah! 9 or 10 or 100 is way higher than 5!

    Cynical me: Oh, no arkansas politician want to see the bottom number get higher...

  • That's just good practice in general. Everyone where I'm at rushes straight through medic school if they have the money/time, and it shows. They barely know how to talk to a patient, and then you're throwing all the various blacktop training at them.

  • Didn't bayer recently sell to another company? I seem to recall a neighbor who is retired from them telling me he can't shop at the bayer store anymore.

  • Right? One of the first things anyone will tell you, therapist or no, is to have a fun hobby. I doubt the guy on the channel is merely doing it for the views/money.

  • Yeah, it's supposedly a symptom of a particular mental degeneration, but diagnosing without a full workup and being in person with a patient is a little bit of a faux pas.

  • but at least the professionals have the training to deal with that somehow

    Ha. You want to know the training you get for dealing with death? It's a couple of sentences uttered by an instructor when some bozo in the class has more curiosity than thought and asks about the 'yep, he's dead' policy. Most of the time you'll have one of a pair who has done it before, and they just tell the other one what to do (like putting on the electrodes or looking around the room to see what else has been done). That's the whole of it, adding in the jokes that will be told and the mild amusement of watching the other's reaction when you grab a coke out of the dead dude's fridge (I didn't, but the more experienced one had when he was stuck at a house for six hours).

  • He's mocking the typical route of a soldier with a story: a memoir or fictionalized tale of what they did, with the hope the book sells enough to get them a chunk of money or a movie studio makes a movie of it.

  • It's going to depend on their condition. Someone who has lost their respiratory drive, someone who has a heart that isn't working, and someone who is dying of organ failure all have their unique way of passing. And those are just the ones I've seen. There's a saying in my field that everyone dies of shock, but there are lots of ways to get to that point.

  • Fuck me. I bought that recent game about digging a hole and I am still ashamed of how much fun I had with the simple concept of digging deep.

  • Loved the game, but still think it's overhyped. ;)

    The last portion is just a slog after all the fun of the fast movement and pretty visuals.

  • Maaaaaaaan, the last thing I'd want to do while bleeding out in a snowy field is digging a grave.

  • Where's that picture of the one house in the middle of a highway because the owner wouldn't sell/move?

  • Since you deleted your comment, I can't really address exactly what you said and I'll have to sort of do it by memory of what tone you had, but don't be caught without a plan. Even if the plan is just running when you see ice approach, it's better than just being a deer in the headlights because you've blithely told yourself you won't be targeted.

    I wish we would see the equivalent of the la riots where shopowners banded together with guns on top of their shops, but perhaps even consider what you can do if you see someone you're vaguely familiar with being taken by ice. The golden ideal would be a community driven communication of ice tracking, from the moment they leave their little compounds until they get to the rental car place and then their targeted areas, but things will have to get a lot worse before there's enough people to band together for that. You could start (I have four of us in my area) with just your friends and you tracing where they're going from news reports or social media in your area.
