| hockeybub89 04/07/17 11:29:12 AM #50 | DDP886 posted... America is the best nation on earth And failing at bombing the terrorism out of the Middle East is proof of that? Senseless war is certainly at the top of my list if someone asks me to sell them on America. --- |
| Topic | Trigger Warnings Are Absolutely Necessary and Should Not Be Mocked |
| hockeybub89 04/07/17 11:25:07 AM #40 | The Admiral posted... 3rd_Best_Master posted...Of course trigger warnings are completely reasonable. For instance, without a trigger warning some Christian fundie might accidentally go and see the new Beauty and the Beast movie and accidentally catch a glimpse of a homosexual. Who cares if they are stupid? As long as you aren't federally mandated to have 10 pages of trigger warnings at the beginning of everything, who gives a fuck? If you want to choose to warn people about something, then go do that. --- |

| hockeybub89 04/07/17 11:05:02 AM #29 | I've never understood the issue with trigger warnings, which are basically just "Viewer discretion is advised." They affect you in no way and cost basically nothing to include. Is this about "principle"? --- |

Addison was an anomaly to me, not the average. The story isn't ME1, but it thankfully also isn't ME3. By and large, I cannot differentiate this game from the others through dialogue, taking some tone changes into account. I actually love the awkward flirty lines in this game. They seem intentional. --- |

| Topic | What do conservatives plan to do about automation? |
| hockeybub89 04/06/17 1:31:49 PM #33 | Gojak_v3 posted... I'm more interested to hear what liberals are gonna do. It's easy to say universal basic income. The fact is if you give every man woman and child 20K a year that's 6.4 trillion dollars a year. That's just about double what ALL government (state and federal) takes in in a year. I'd love to hear how they are gonna swing that. Not to mention 20k is likely not enough. It will be a huge undertaking that will take years to figure out, but when the alternative is just less jobs and more unemployment, you can't just sit on your hands. The worst thing we could do is argue like a bunch of petulant children over partisan bullshit. --- |

We will need to decide if we want technological advancement or if we want to hold on to low-skilled/unskilled labor just because humans need to work. --- |

Damn_Underscore posted... People on reddit exaggerate how much automation is going to take over jobs in the near future, even jobs like cashiers. People didn't want to deal with metal horses either. Some people still think the Internet is pointless. The world moves right on past them. --- |

And when people outnumber the amount of jobs that machines can't do better than them, then what? I feel like we are worrying about the wrong thing. We will need to figure out how to live in a world with less jobs, not figure out how to shoehorn redundant, inefficient jobs into the world because damn it, humans need to be working! This isn't a machine making our factory jobs easier. This is machines figuring out how to run the factory, the road, the restaurant, the store, the hospital, yadda, yadda, yadda. --- |

Zero_Destroyer posted..."all the jobs I'm qualified for are taken by automation and I can't afford college or trade schools to get a useful degree" If someone literally wasn't qualified for a job, what's the alternative? Killing them? What exactly is wrong with a UBI? It would still be a wage that is no way enticing to people with actual jobs. And you kind of need money if you want to learn the trade or get the diploma to go after those good jobs, so that people don't do everything they can to prove how worthless you are to society. It will be entirely necessary if we get to the type of automation Proudclad talks about where even highly skilled labor can be done by robots. --- |

New people didn't become even competent at drop off until like a year in, they only really start doing stuff other than pickup months into it.It sucks because there is no time for hand holding, which is what people need because it's a lot to learn. Just don't get discouraged, unless they're just assholes, your coworkers aren't frustrated with you, there just isn't any time to help you learn in a proper manner. jUst do what you're told and you'll pick up more and more and when you do new stuff don't be afraid to ask questions. Also RXConnect sucks, a lot of stuff at CVS sucks, have you done PCQ yet? Patient Care Queue. It's the patients you're supposed to call about medication adherence and such. It's typically only done on weekends. I've only done it a few times and you just get yelled at or don't get an answer most of the time. It makes me feel kind of dirty. --- |

There is shorthand you can use that automatically turns into a SIG when typed. Take 2 capsules by mouth twice a day? Just type 2C;PO;BID and it will become that. I'm sure you could Google a cheat sheet. I'm sorry that you seem to be working with dickheads. Technically, you shouldn't be doing any drop-off until you actually take that class and I don't know what the point of telling you to do something if they're just going to wind up having to do it themselves anyway. I don't know how busy your store is, but they aren't speeding things up by dumping things on a poor newbie. --- |

Take 2 capsules by mouth twice a day? Just type 2C;PO;BID and it will become that. I'm sure you could Google a cheat sheet. As for the drugs, a lot of it just comes with experience. I am fairly new myself, so I still get hung up on a few, but I just ask someone else to clarify. It seems daunting, but it is actually pretty idiot-proof once you get into it. With the consultation thing, I just make it a habit to ask patients if they have questions or if this medication is new. It seems like half the time there is an automated prompt, it's just a new prescription for a drug someone has been taking for years. My pharmacists do a pretty good of indicating on the script if they have things they want to talk to the patient about. The thing hanging me up right now is insurance. Learning how to properly enter that info and work out issues requires a lot of trial and error and shaking your fist at insurance companies for being difficult. --- |

| hockeybub89 04/05/17 10:59:48 AM #30 | I've seen Catholic priests and married men with that voice, just not stereotypically over the top. I feel it would be a little shitty for me to assume they are just pretending to be straight and I don't know why they'd keep the voice if they were trying to hide. Could be biological and sociological. Not really sure. I don't think it is just a conscious choice and effort 24/7 for most people who have it. --- |

I personally think no one should use it, and it's a tad bit hypocritical if someone has an issue with it but will say it in a song, but this topic is tiring to have every week or so. I also don't like that F-word that is a gay slur, but I'll be damned if I censor myself singing along to Money for Nothing. Saying words like that is only hypocritical in certain contexts. If I say I hate homophobia or racism and sing along to songs that are blatant hate, then I would be a hypocrite. --- |

| Topic | I just wanna play Andromeda |
| hockeybub89 04/02/17 7:02:21 PM #177 | I like Andromeda a lot more than GOTY winner Dragon Age Inquisition. Game gets a little longish at times, but I have had a lot of fun with it. Don't know where all the "offensively bad writing and characters, what an insult to the series" backlash it has been getting is coming from. The only character that I couldn't fucking stand is Addison. She really was poorly put together. While no one on the Tempest is my favorite ME shipmate, there are no Jacobs or James Vegas here. Jaal and Drack might be up there with the best. This is just Mass Effect with a little more optimism and lightheartedness. I love how the characters just seem to be more...alive than in the other games. They chat with each other on the ship, walk around, have multi-part conversations while exploring with you. --- |
