Welcome to Lemmy, where nuance goes to fucking roll over and die. I volunteer teaching English as a second language, and encourage the use of AI as a learning tool, while being very clear about its many dangers, but people here love to crucify me for it.

I have rented for years, because I have always hated living far from my job, and I don't drive. Lots of people here foam at the mouth at me choosing that convenience, and at the fact that I finally got a house, using my life's savings, and now that I am divorced and no longer need that much room, I'm just renting the upper floor.

Same as you, I either fix everything myself, or if I'm not qualified, hire someone to do it. My tenants love the fairly priced apartment, precisely because the price is fair. Cheap enough that them both can work and study, while still being profitable enough for me to help myself pay for the bills, taxes and mortgage.

A lot of people just swallowed the lie whole, thinking that landlords are the scum of the earth, equating it to shit like what Ticketmaster, LiveNation, Blackstone Inc., BP, UnitedHealthcare or Anthem do.

But most of them are just keyboard warriors who won't move a finger to help others in need, believing themselves righteous just because they didn't have the opportunities we had.

Honestly, I wish there were proper places for people like us. I don't have the grace to write as much and as well as you, but you hit the nail right in the head, and see the whole picture.

And that stuff happens pretty much everywhere, I got lucky I am autistic, bisexual, got raised by a very hands-on dad, and therefore, far more open to male bonding than your average guy.

The whole system has flaws, and most people are too blind to see we are all being pitted against each other and farmed for content, attention and ad revenue.

I would like to find a true MGTOW community without bullshit strewn in. Last time I tried joining a community of that sort, all their looksmaxing stuff made me feel very uncomfortable. I'm almost 40 and a little bit pudgy, but I'm happy with my current body.

Maybe you should, your work is good, man

Ready to eat hot food that is cheaper than the ingredients to make it, is not a luxury.

Especially if it can be refrigerated and made to last for over a week, used to supplement other foods such like chicken quesadillas, chicken soup, broth and chicken salad.

Having to prep and cook is such a narrow minded way to look at things, and a way to look down at what people do to survive.

Does the fact that I can just bite into a tomato and eat it without preparation or cooking make it not a grocery? Hell, I can even do that with oatmeal if I'm down on protein and fiber.

That's horrifying, I love it

Nope, reskin of an old comic.

Just like a lot of animal rescue videos. Horrible, heartbreaking animal abuse, staged to look like an act of heroism.

I used to watch those videos on YT a lot, until I suddenly pieced it together, that two cats had the very same markings, and figured out what their scam was, I felt so disgusted I ended up making a massive rant and telling every person I knew for months.

Not for a lot of people, sadly.

Bright side of Lemmy, you can say fuck. Downsides include, death of nuance, dogpiling, herd behavior and people who try to take down others.

That certainly happens too. But it is not 100% schedule, at least where I have worked, they use a risk matrix based on multiple factors including risk, pregnancy length AND personnel availability, to keep themselves from overstaffing, and that way keep the spending and budget margins under control.

I can't speak for every hospital, of course, and also there are psychological factors at play, such as the fact that telling a patient vs asking a patient gives far better and more streamlined processes.

Even if done with good intentions, often times it is not productive or time efficient to explain everything to patients, so they don't have time to argue. And while that is absolute bullshit, in my opinion patients should be informed of all relevant information, most people are not logical and rational while they're at the hospital, and this does not limit to expecting mothers.

Patients when given a chance, don't always choose treatments by success or survival rate, they might choose riskier, more expensive alternatives when faced with amputation, and the psychological effects of this on medical personnel are massive. Most doctors, when they lose a patient, lose sleep and confidence, they spiral into "I could have done this", "I should have done that", and often times letting a patient choose against what them as doctors consider the best option, and getting a bad outcome, makes them psychologically vulnerable for a while, because the medical professionals feel they weren't convincing enough, and that even if it was the patient who chose what procedure to have, it is still their own fault.

And that is only one of the reasons why healthcare worker burnout is so prevalent and risky. Most people lack the emotional fortitude not to carry those decisions with them, and that is why medical professionals are taught to be professional, clinical and distant, and can be read as them being aloof and uncaring. Because the more one connects emotionally to a situation, the harder the emotional recoil will hit us if it has a bad outcome.

It is common, to a point. And part of why it is seems as not necessarily something to worry about is due to the widespread intervention of medical professionals requesting the patients to be induced.

There are far too many variables in placental health and viability, and the risk increase after the 42nd week is SHARP. Plus, we don't have the technology required to live monitor the placental health closely enough to take chances.

So, it is a lot like measles and polio, we don't think much of them because of how prevalent immunization has become, but if we lower the protocols, that is when death counts start rising fast.

Would you kindly read the article you linked? It literally says the entry is for COJONES, not CAJONES.

This is just like some Americans getting upset and doubling down when people point out that Colombia is the name of a country, and it is not spelled Columbia(Unlike the several places called Columbia in their country).
