It’s not about needing a safe space. It’s when you say something, and then someone comes by and starts picking apart one piece of what you said. Which never even relates to the conversation at hand anyhow. Or they try to “correct” you about some ridiculously minute grammar mistake/word choice. Or even better, they interpret what you’re trying to say completely wrong, and go on the offensive.
Sadly no. I guess it’s a good thing. I’m just not on any social media much now.
I came over with the initial reddit defector wave. I loved it here. You could have civil conversations, even when you disagreed with someone else. It honestly felt like the forums of the early 2000s again. Then it started getting more aggressive, and all the “well…aksually” type replies started happening. I find myself hardly on lemmy/kbin/beehaw anymore because of it.
Hands down one of the worst “feature” of new vehicles IMO. If you need help on a hill, either use the parking brake like everyone else, learn to drive better, or just drive an auto.
Yes, I have never owned anything else. I really struggle to drive auto/CVT, honestly, it’s so confusing for me.
Early 40s. Murica.
that’s for the specific user not a sub. Kinda weird.
I believe 211 works everywhere in the US. Call them (if not call your county’s health and human services). They have access to all the health and human services for your county, and can direct you to all the people that can help you. IMO it’s much better than blindly calling around to different departments/services yourself. The ones here in San Diego are really helpful, and can tell you about things you don’t even know are possible.
Probably depends on your state. CA (and IIRC all the west coast states plus some others) has euthanasia/assisted suicide options/laws in place.
No. Gives a bit more breathing room, so one thing probably won’t destroy me, but not enough to actually do anything with.
I’m pretty sure removing the “during pregnancy” part of the title would make it FAR more accurate.
Women historically receive less/worse treatment than men.
We wait an average of 65 minutes before receiving an analgesic for acute abdominal pain in the ER in the United States, while men wait only 49 minutes. Source
Also from the same article
women in pain are much more likely than men to receive prescriptions for sedatives, rather than pain medication, for their ailments.
I have personally experienced both, and have had my husband speak for me, after being dismissed, and got a wildly different response.
Studies show that women’s perceptions of gender bias are correct. Compared with male patients, women who present with the same condition may not receive the same evidence-based care. In several key areas, such as cardiac care and pain management, women may get different treatment, leading to poorer outcomes source
a study this month found that women are less likely than men to get CPR from a bystander, and are more likely to die.
The research, funded by the American Heart Association and the National Institutes of Health, found that only 39% of women who have a cardiac arrest in a public place were given CPR, versus 45% of men. Men were 23% more likely to survive source
I could go on and on about it, but women universally receive worse medical care.
Don’t forget the tax exemption status.
About a year ago I decided to remove my name from my email signature. It’s mind boggling how different email replies/inquiries are now. People just assume I’m a man because making cars go fast = men things. When they finally meet me, or talk to me on the phone, there’s an instant demeanor change. Some not bad, others hostile.
Not to diminish anything enlisted woman have gone through, but this is by no means unique to military service. I am a women, who works in a very male dominated field, and the hostility, belittling, sexism, etc I have to endure, that my male counterparts don’t is massive.
How very Nissan of them. For a company that’s been building cars for about half a century, you’d think they’d have figured out the simple shit by now.
Wake up, bathroom things, put on running clothes, put on running shoes, get rest of running gear, and then go for a run. Come home shower, drink my green drink, then work.
You can also gift something like 12 million in your lifetime tax free, so pass on as much as you can, to your family that way, before you die.
If you don’t keep all your money in 1 bank accounts the FDIC insurance will cover it. Iirc it’s either 250k per account, or maybe it was per person, per institution.
I’m pretty sure that pretty much anyone else that’s ever been “delayed medical care” has the been out on house arrest. Why wasn’t he moved to a different jail, fed if necessary? Why did all these traitors get special treatment? Iirc the shaman asshat wasn’t getting his mommies organic food so he threw a fit and got some kind of special treatment too. Plus all the ridiculously comically light sentences.
I’ve tried multiple variations of those, and they all end up smelling/tasting horrible anyhow. Thanks though. What we are doing works well for us.
Maybe I’m dumb, but if I go buy property in Mexico (for instance) and the government decides to take it, or I stop paying on it, or run out of money, I don’t get any protections for my money. I can’t file for bankruptcy and keep my money safe. I gambled and lost.
Why do non American companies/people have the opportunity to file for bankruptcy as protection in a country they aren’t beholden to the rules of?
Baking. Measuring isn’t fun. I’d rather wing it.
