Finally, some good news!

A group of Democrats…

Never mind. It’ll go nowhere.

I meant “it easily could have been” in the sense that it if it hadn’t been taken seriously, it would affected virtually everyone in some way.

A friend of mine got a high-paying temp job reprogramming servers in some obscure programming language. I think the client was a major bank.

Yeah, a lot of dirtbags took advantage of Y2K, but that doesn’t mean Y2K wasn’t a serious problem. It easily could have been.

The best first aid for someone having a seizure is to shove a wallet (or something) in their mouth, so that they don’t “swallow their tongue”.

NO!

Never do this. Absolutely never. It’s far more likely that you’ll injure the victim (or yourself) in the attempt.

Furthermore, don’t restrain a seizure victim in any way unless it’s absolutely necessary for their physical safety (like if they’re in danger of falling down a stairway. Even then, it’s usually better to just stand at the top step and act as a barrier). Whenever possible, move things they may hit out of their way; don’t try to move the victim. If there’s something you can’t move, try to put something soft between the victim and the object.

Most of the time, the best thing you can do for a seizure victim is to not touch them at all, and simply give them room.

At this point, I’m impressed that Republicans are split at all. I’m surprised it’s not unanimous.

EVEN IN JEST, HOW DARE YOU ASK!

This frightens me on a deep, almost primal level

Hexbear = irrational behavior and drama. That’s WAY oversimplified, but a good rule of thumb.

Yeah, I’m just messing with ya

Just to play devils advocate, there are certain people that I don’t want to see naked, and certain kinds of sex that I NEVER want to see. I can imagine that some of that would be considered traumatizing.

Ah. I didn’t realize that Meta considered them “whistleblowers”. It’s still a shitty thing to do, but shitty is what corporations excel at.

I don’t understand why the outsourcing firm was punished. As far as I can tell, a thousand people are losing their jobs for no reason. This wasn’t their fault, and I don’t see what problem is being solved here. It makes absolutely no sense.
