  • Been there done that. How do you think I learnt to self advocate properly?

    I don't blame the doctors. They did their best in the time and with the information available to them. I didn't fit the mould so they missed it again and again.

    I could have done with the right treatment 20 years earlier, but I got there.

  • If you smell dog shit, check the ground. If you constantly smell dog shit, check your shoe.

    Most doctors are trying to help as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. 80-90% are fine to work with you, within their workflow. If every doctor you encounter is in the 10% then either you're VERY unlucky, or you are the problem element.

  • I'm guessing you just mouth off at doctors, and so get treated like an idiot.

  • Most doctors I've spoken to have been quite happy to work with me rather than against me.

    The unfortunate trick is you need to self educate to speak a bit more in their language. You also need to accept they are often working within rules that are unintuitive.

    E.g. I prefer a particular brand drug Vs the generics. (The delivery method was slightly different) I had to cycle through the generics so they could tick them off in the system. Otherwise it would try to automatically shift me to a generic.

  • How can I ensure any videos I record on my phone aren't deleted by the cops?

    Jump

  • On both IOS and android, you can activate the camera without unlocking the phone. On android it's via a double click of the power button, by default. This makes it far more difficult to delete it quickly.

    Combined with an auto upload script makes their job a lot harder.

  • Ice kills another protestor in Minneapolis.

  • Where do you think those willing to go further often meet and connect? How do they know that a large group will have their backs?

    Look at the Irish troubles for inspiration. The IRA would have not gotten anywhere alone. The protests, marches, and civil disobedience show support to both them and the British government. The political arm could then use that support to push for real changes.

  • Why are programmers so rude to beginners?

    Jump

  • I agree its one of the few uses.

    The ai gives the correct terminology, you can then cut it out of the loop for reliable information on the subject.

  • There's a massive difference between asking where the toilets are, and pissing in the pool.

  • Do old people still remember their childhood? Do people just start losing their memories and their sense of self as they get older?

    Jump

  • Various studies have shown this to be true. When you access memories, they become malleable. The brain makes various minor updates and repairs. It fixes holes, where bits have been forgotten, and pulls in new data, that wasn't known at the time.

    The core of the memory is often intact, it's generally self referencing, and fairly stable. It's the small details around it that can shift.

  • Economic blackout day planned in Minnesota to protest ICE surge

    Jump

  • It's not so much that people aren't affected. It's that most don't want to risk being the first mover. Firing 1 person for missing work is easy. Firing half your staff for ye same thing is a lot harder for businesses.

    The plus side is that it's akin to a supersaturated solution. Once a crystal does form, it can grow and spread rapidly.

  • I'm about to get fired. How do I make sure my next job is a better place to work?

    Jump

  • That's true, but they are also not likely to take you on either. They are part of the 95%+ that will not be interested.

  • I'm about to get fired. How do I make sure my next job is a better place to work?

    Jump

  • A thing to note is that staff tend not to leave good companies. That means they recruit FAR less than you would expect.

    A useful method would be to make a list of all the companies you can find that seem to both be going fine, but not obviously recruiting.

    Getting your foot in the door with them is the hard part. First thing is to check if you have any contacts there. Ex-coworkers, or people who are friends with a staff member. If so, try and leverage that contact to get your C.V. to them. Failing that, a polite phonecall to HR or the boss (depending on the company), with a follow up email is the best bet.

    This method still has a 95%+ failure rate. The aim is to get your C.V. in front of the right person when they need a role filled, but haven't started the recruitment process yet.

  • Minneapolis emerges as new epicenter of resistance to Trump: 'ICE wasn't expecting that'

    Jump

  • Psychopaths or Sociopaths inherently "dehumanise" everyone. It's why they feel no compunction in setting up a mother of 2 to lose their job, to boost their quarterly profits.

    There are other ways to dehumanise people however. The American media machine has done an excellent job of it.

    It's partly why the recent killing has triggered such a reaction. It's outside the dehumanising bubble. That then had a ripple effect, akin to a rubber band snapping. It broke the trance a lot of people (of all political leanings) were caught in. It's now a case of seeing how the ripple spreads.

  • Zelensky announces arrival of 'serious' air defense package as deepening Ukraine energy crisis prompts easing of curfew rules

    Jump

  • You might be able to get your hands on an old nuke, but the maintenance to keep it able to go boom is another story. You could make a dirty bomb, but a hydrogen bomb needs maintenance every few years minimum.

    I personally think this is why Russia hasn't used a nuke. They don't know if they will go off properly, or if maintenance got skipped and they are duds.

  • Do you feel like popular media using a game of Chess to depict a "battle of wits" to be too cliche/cringe?

  • I just want a film to get it right. I want the hero to realise he needs to fold out his amazing hand based on instincts and skill.

  • Sign of a good therapist

    Jump

  • It depends hugely on what the therapy is trying to help. I personally find this sort of therapy completely useless. I needed active guidance and advice for what I needed to change and do.

    A good therapist adapts to what the patient needs. Sometimes that is space to vent. Sometimes it is a guiding hand. Sometimes it's a (verbal) slap to the face to stop you running in panicking circles.

    Jump

  • Making and supporting nukes takes a huge amount of expertise and equipment. Hiding those completely is difficult to impossible.

    If you were going to use them as a self defence tactic, you would need to prove you also had a functioning device. Either by showing it off, or setting it off. Otherwise it would simply be seen as a bluff.
