I think trying to paint an asshole as “an asshole, but not explicitly racist” is a waste of time and energy

My heart always sinks when it’s a recovery, not a full recovery :(

A man’s TV started interpreting English as Russian.

“Surely this is just temporary,” the TV thought. “This won’t last forever,” it thought.

Lucky, the TV made a recovery.

Mark David Chapman is an American man who murdered John Lennon in 1980. He was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison and recommended to undergo psychiatric treatment. His next opportunity for parole will be in February 2024. Chapman has told a parole board that killing Lennon was “a very selfish act and I deeply regret it”. He also said, “I just want to reiterate that I’m sorry for my crime” and “I have no excuse”.

IIRC this is the reason McDonald’s ice cream machines were always down, because the Taylor company that made them had this exact same contract, but they finally reversed that policy a few years ago. Now Terumo Cardiovascular is doing the exact same shitty practice, likely with the exact same outcome: broken machines that don’t work when you need them to. One step forward two steps back in this fucking dystopia

Do you care to expand on that?

In theory, veganism is only opposed to conscious animals that didn’t consent to being eaten, so I see no reason why they’d be opposed

Na, diamond finish

Bullshit. I had to chargeback my credit card to cancel it, it was insane

A million

Pretty niche but embarrassing for me. I’m new to my career, and I had to give a medication I’ve never given before called factor XII. It turns out this medication is very expensive, so it has to be requested from pharmacy instead of being stocked on the floor. So, I looked in the computer to see where it was. The computer said 12,000 units were delivered around 1900 (which was a few hours ago), and 12,000 units were given around that time. To be sure, I checked the automated medication dispenser, and it didn’t have any. I checked the fridge (the computer said to let it come to room temp before giving) and it wasn’t in the fridge. I checked the patients medication bin, it wasn’t in their bin. I checked the patients room and it wasn’t there either. So I messaged pharmacy “medication not available, please send :)”

The pharmacy quickly called me, questioning why I was requesting it. I told them that, per my message, it wasn’t on the floor and I needed it, and I needed it quickly because it was time sensitive. They told me they already sent it and they weren’t sending more because of how expensive it was, and that I needed to look again. I told them everywhere I looked, and that I was sure it wasn’t on the floor. The begrudging said they would walk to my floor and find it for me, which frustrated me as it seemed like such a waste of time. But sure enough, they called me when they got to the medication room and told me to meet them there. There, NEXT TO all the patient specific medication bins, was a small pile of boxes of this medication. They were too big to fit in the patients bin, so they were just piled up to the side. They made a point to rub it in my face that they were right and I wasted their time, and it was very embarrassing.

I’m a fan of SmashBurger

“what’s new pussycat” 14 times, with “it’s not unusual” thrown in once to give them hope

Careful not to cut yourself on that edge

This is a great development, albeit with a lot of soul crushing development behind it I assume. People who have to look at CSAM or whatever the acronym is have a miserable job, so I’m very supportive of trying to automate that away from people.

I love this
