  • entering the workforce as a young millennial I had a lot of older coworkers talk shit about the young kids wearing their unprofessionally fashionable jogger scrubs but they certainly don't drag through spilled bodily fluids like flared ones do!

  • One day, you wake up finding out that a person you cared about seemingly vanished, and there are no traces of them; Would you trust your memories, or would you think you are hallucinating?

  • and it's for exactly this reason that arguing with a delusion strengthens it. If you show a person with Cotard delusions how to find their pulse they'll come to the conclusion that dead bodies can still have a heartbeat and if you show a person with capgras delusions a DNA test now the doppelgangers can mimic DNA too. the new information just gets integrated in a way that supports the delusion. all you can do is try to distract them while the antipsychotics hit and try to keep them socially connected through unrelated stuff like hobbies, music, etc.

  • chatgpt aside this is a much more realistic way to look at it than left / right.

  • I hate it when patients come in having had that be their attempt. Like no you only thought you didn't want to be alive. Now you know.

  • well honestly it's the creation of high attention / judgment tasks with high risk to human health and safety then making many of them either a part of daily life (driving) or making them jobs you have to do 8-12h straight 3-5 days a week (health, public safety, public transportation, etc). Train companies in particular are basically famous for making their conductors functionally unable to use sick hours, and medical residency is famous for 48h+ straight shifts. Personally I'm finding I have to do about 4-5x12h shifts (48-60h weeks) to stay solidly in the black, but me and hubs are considering how we want to cut back for a little more wiggle room. If we really valued human health and safety we'd keep those tasks much more specialized and make sure the people who do them have way more downtime to decompress but alas the capitalist wheel must keep turning.

    I've been on an extended tolerance break from substances myself. In January I'll have two years off alcohol and I'm August I'll also have two years off THC (I used it to quit the alcohol but wound up with CHS). Supposedly at the two year mark a bunch of your neurochemistry has mostly reset itself so once I've done that AND have a sober-only hobby I think I'll be safe to reapproach occasional drinking. And I'll also know that I have the coping skills to take another tolerance break if I need to. I too find the self flagellation of addict culture to be both highly performative and ultimately counterproductive.

  • yeah I feel this way about a lot of things. I think on some level there does need to be people protecting public safety, stopping people from murdering each other (which they very much occasionally do) etc. Do the cops actually do that, do it well, and restrict people's freedoms only in the minimal and exact ways they need to to do that? ...eeeeeehhhh.

  • I've gotten callbacks within 12 hours for applications I didn't even finish and submit. It's hard work but there'll never be too little of it.

  • The fact that users are encouraged to include text descriptions with media content makes it perfect training data for AI.

    Jump

  • and I actually really like that one particular use-case of ai because less required human interaction gives the blind user more independence. The remaining issue of corporatization and private ownership of something that should be a publicly owned resource (as with many other assistive technologies) is a society-wide issue and framing it as a futurist vs Luddite discussion is a powerful misdirection.

  • but don't spend the money. I forget how long they have to request it back. it's called like unjust enrichment or something. basically accidentally paying someone too much is only a problem for poor people.
