pt = "patient"?
SNF = "skilled nursing facility"?

Management took advantage of this poor guy's situation where he desperately needed a job.

very odd to hear a Republican express concern about that. what happened to the "you should be happy you even have a job" attitude?

no, you fucking idiot, the availability of "crack pipes" is not going to "create more demand" for crack. these people are so dumb

For some reason this is more satisfying than even temperature distribution

when im outside in the cold but all bundled up super warm i LOVE the feeling of cold on my face

Like imagine if you were reading a recipe for chicken soup and it started out with 1 quart of Brita filtered water.

i totally get your point and you're right about that being a waste of kosher salt. however, i'm gonna go coffee snob here and say that filtered water absolutely makes a difference when brewing coffee and tea. for some recipes, filtered water matters.

when i would have one, i'd be having a very vivid dream in which i'd be receiving sexual pleasure in some fashion. it would feel so damn real and i'd actually climax in the dream, but then i'd wage up with splooge all over my boxers EEEEEWWWWW

fuck sugar in my drinks. and fuck artificial sweeteners more.

no, their marketing and gimmicks are annoying.

I don't get it.

Wasn't that the first game that EGS bought exclusivity for despite already being slated for a Steam release?

yeah. i was pretty interested when it first came out and i probably would have bought it sometime during that first year. but the exclusivity crap turned me off and now i've moved on. i'll probably never go back and play it at this point.

this is amusing because Martha and Snoop, but it's also amusing because it's absolutely obvious who they're marketing to. "and other things"

even 40 hours a week is too much IMO. reduce the work week to 32h!

seems like the monthly payments are spread out over 5 years?

assuming a modest return of 7%, in five years that 195k will be worth: ~$273.5k. you can most likely get a higher RoI than 7%, though, so if you got 10%/year you'd have $314k. so if you can get better than ~8.5% you'll be better off taking the lump.

personally, i'd take the lump sum and take my chances on my investments. you can always pull the money out if the market is doing bad.

Why don't they demand world peace while they're at so we can get some good out of this?

world peace would largely benefit other people and not them so they DGAF. remember, these people only care about themselves.

Well the first problem is that healthcare shouldn't be a matter of the free market.

agree 100%, but here in America, profit is king and the collective good is something we laugh at (well, something 40% of us laugh at).

Frostshock posted...

People seem averse to field hospitals for some reason which is exactly the kind of solution that's needed to deal with intermittent spikes during a pandemic

is that even a viable solution when the surges / spikes last a few weeks? i honestly have no idea how long it takes to setup something like that. would it actually be realistic to build a temporary field hospital to address a 4-6 week surge and then take it down? what about all of the staff necessary?

MasterZeldaGuy posted...

Its more saying that I want to make the choice for myself whether I get the medical care to prevent my death.

If youre at risk of death from catching Covid and arent willing to accept the risk, you shouldnt be putting yourself in situations where you might catch it. Even if everyone that couldve gotten the delta vaccine in the US did, it was still already out there spreading for months before the vaccine tailored to that variant was available. Then omicron caught on and its not going to be until March that we have vaccines available for it. We likely wont ever get ahead of the mutations, so the people at risk are going to be perpetually at risk, regardless of how vaccinated the country is. Theres also the fact that even if youre fully vaccinated, you can still get it and spread it.

Issuing mandates wont change the fact that people who are at risk will continue to be at risk, which seems to be the main issue a mandate is trying address. If a mandate cant even accomplish its main goal, whats the point of having a mandate to begin with. At some point, people are just going to need to accept that life now has a new risk and that only they can decide what risks theyre willing to tolerate, as unfortunate as it is.

And before Im accused of being anti vax, my wife, children that are old enough, and I are all vaccinated and boostered.

i feel like we're just going round in circles at this point. i've addressed why vaccine mandates help everyone, primarily due to reducing load on health care systems.

Frostshock posted...

If this is putting strain on a region's healthcare infrastructure, the solution is to fix the infrastructure.

that takes a really, really long time and people are dying now. and do you really think the free market is going to go build hospitals to address a temporary surge in patients? no, no it will not.

MutantJohn posted...

If people are so genuinely scared of getting the vaccine that they'd rather potentially die, that's on them and we can't stop that.

i know the vaccines doesn't "stop" transmission, i already acknowledged that.

the issue i have with this approach / mindset of "let the unvaccinated choose death, they are only hurting themselves" is:

• higher likelihood of new variants emerging due to more spreading
• overwhelming of hospitals / healthcare facilities - this affects innocent patients as well as healthcare staff

which part "looks like s***"?

making a vague attack on something generally popular is "Trolling 101". TC just wants to get a rise out of people, he's been making shitty bait topics like this for over a decade.

just let that sink in. TC has been entertaining himself by irritating strangers on the internet for over a decade.

they love free speech when it means they get to say whatever they want
they hate free speech when it means someone else gets to say things they dont like
they love the free market when it allows them to do whatever they want
they hate the free market when it goes against their desires.

these people have no actual principles other than themselves. they are demonstrably selfish.

MasterZeldaGuy posted...

Just to be clear, I dont disagree with any of that, though until the entire world is vaccinated or the US restricts travel into the country based on vaccination status and people here get the vaccine, variants are an inevitability.

even if the variants are "inevitable", we should still do everything we reasonably can to prevent or delay them from happening.

that argument is like saying you're going to refuse any and all medical care because we're all gonna die eventually. "Welp. there's no point in medical care because death is an inevitability"

That was updated 6 months ago. I thought we agreed that as scientists learn more theyre able to change their stances on previously held notions.

sorry. the stance is still that vaccines are our best protection against covid, particuarly against preventing new variants.

maybe because it's typically cooler downstairs vs upstairs?

Mandating a vaccine that doesn't hinder transmissibility nor stop the illness is morally wrong.

it absolutely does lower transmission rates. and while it doesn't "stop the illness", it significantly reduces the likelihood of the infection being bad. get the fuck out of here with your misinformation.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/variants/delta-variant.html?

Fully vaccinated people with Delta variant breakthrough infections can spread the virus to others. However, vaccinated people appear to spread the virus for a shorter time:
