  • 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.

    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.

    Odd, all I could find were a couple of allegations, and no proof, and some stalker confessing to impersonating him and other people.

    Couldn’t find any lawsuits either, so I’m going to assume it was just allegations for clout. An accusation alone can destroy a reputation, and it would be far from the first time either one of the two things happen (Sexual misconduct vs false allegations) so I prefer to be cautious about taking accusations like this one at face value.





  • 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).

    Edited to add the screenshot.

    I always had issues with that phrase. The first thing I would do is go to the hospital, since that is a sign of a massive hernia. Also, cajones means drawers or boxes, the word you’re looking for is cojones.

    When using aphorisms, please try and Google them.

    A pet peeve of mine is gratuitous and incorrect use of my native languages.

    Super easy to assume when you’re no actually betting. Or finding a 5,000 page dissertation. But of course, moving the goalposts, claiming it was a hyperbole, grandstanding and virtue signaling without actually checking yourself for biases is all what most people do, on any end of the sociopolitical spectrum.

    And tagging anything you disagree with as neckbeard, incel and other derrogative, thought ending cliches, while defending blanket statements about entire groups of people, hard to believe the cognitive dissonance doesn’t make more people uncomfortable.

    Edit: And the main reason why you hardly ever see any sexist comment like that about women here in Lemmy is because a lot of people, me included, report them on sight, and the mods are great at removing them, as well as rightfully so, banning the offending users.

    Feel free to test it out if you’d like, make a post or a comment like that about women, and watch it dissappear. Because sexism and bigotry should have no place here. And it is very health to actually test your theories and biases.
