Jfc.

No, apparently it’s even worse; woke!

_:DDDD

It’s not only the US that got hit by that russian campaign to mess with youths and even younger children. Europe for its fair share as well. It also plays into their “oh look at the degenerate west” playbook perfectly.

They’re responsible for so much damage that I have no idea how it’ll end. Not even children with tech savvy parents are immune, as I can attest to myself.

It’s important as fuck to have discussions about bad content to children ass soon as they get any kind of screen available to them, and it should never ever be a babysitter unless it’s under controlled circumstances.

It’s also a good idea to start teaching your children how any tech they use works and what happens under the hood if they’re interested. They’re certainly less likely to get influenced by any bad actors if they know what’s what.

The only jobs I’ve ever had were teaching and nursing, both paid by the country I live in, not some private entity. I don’t even own a car or a TV, nor do I live in the US for that matter.

Get your head out of your ass and realise there’s more to life than fucking money. I was born poor and will die poor, but I don’t give a shit because I at least know I helped some people along the way.

Jfc, the bubble some live in. You should be ashamed of yourself, but I guess you’re not even capable of that, are ya?

Your whole series of posts in this thread are seriously unhinged. Are you trying to cosplay a corpo bootlicker or something?

It’s either that or you’ve been born wealthy enough to never have to think about the money you spend.

I don’t know where you live, but I do know there’ll probably be a second front in this particular war in a not too far into the future. I have the feeling that the news channels in the US perhaps leave out some of what is happening in the Baltic sea, for example.

Or the fact that we’ve been preparing to go fuck them up for the past few years. The rest of Europe is starting to wake up as well. Nobody wants to be next.

Thank you for this, valuable info right there.

Ugh. Typical corporate bullshit.

Please tell me you’re joking. I was just beginning to like some of the discord communities I’ve joined over the years.

Fuck that guy, seriously. Activision already ruined WoW, which I sincerely liked a lot for a very long time.

I agree completely.

I’ve been a nurse for over a decade and I disagree strongly. Way too many of the doctors I’ve had to do with both outside and inside my work have been overworked, arrogant or simply too jaded to do their work properly.

There have been exceptions, of course. I survived both surgeries, after all. Maybe I could have avoided having to learn how to walk again if someone had listened a bit earlier. Maybe not.

But yes, we get into this line of work to help people initially, at least generally, I’ll give you that.

I’ll concede that there’s a difference between physical and psychological diagnoses, but I’ll stand by the main point I was trying to convey, which in this case is that simply blindly following whatever a doctor says can go very wrong.

At the very least there’s always a good reason to get a second opinion if there’s even a little bit of doubt. Obviously there’s also the difference between a lifelong psychological issue and an acute medical emergency.

I simply felt that OP was giving really bad advice and I’m fairly sure he’s got no medical training whatsoever, while I’ve been a nurse for over a decade. Maybe I’m wrong and he’s a doctor, but I highly doubt it.

Setting up an MRI and interpreting the images yourself is obviously impossible, but I did work in a related field so it wasn’t just guesswork either. Do you think any of the doctors I met gave a shit about my thoughts on the matter regardless?

I knew it wasn’t just random headaches but something else, potentially a lot worse. I was right in that instance, at the very least. You’re right that I couldn’t tell them exactly what it was, but since it was quite localised I had my suspicions.

Trying to tell a doctor that you suspect something isn’t exactly easy unless they actually happen to listen, which they didn’t, for far too long.

When they finally did the surgery it was a lot worse than it could’ve been. I was lucky enough that it was a pre-cancerous tumor though. A few months more and it would probably have been too late.

I’ll admit that I worked in a related field at the time though, so I wasn’t entirely relying on guesswork. Not that that meant anything to a single one of the doctors I met before the last one that actually gave me the MRI scan I had begged for for months. I was in surgery the next week.

So you tell me, was the right course of action to just listen to what the doctors said, or not?

From someone with two major surgeries behind me, one of them involving a tumour inside my head, this sounds outright idiotic.

I’d be dead unless I realized something was wrong other than what the doctors at the time described as “just a few headaches”. Took me upwards of 10+ different doctors before they finally listened and found it. Exactly where I described the pain and pressure coming from.

Listen to your body, and for fucks sake stop giving bad advice to people.

Now there’s a name I haven’t seen in a while and that makes me a little bit sad.

Which, it should be noted, incidentally is exactly why they’re sending random people to said prison without due process in the first place.

While I completely agree with you, that is the one thing that could change with just one thing going right for one of all the groups that work on just that problem.

It’s what happens after that that’s really scary, probably. Perhaps we all go into some utopian AI driven future, but I highly doubt that’s even possible.

Giving russia more power won’t be any better for the world at large.

By far one of the easiest decisions was jumping on over here - and I barely understand it half the time.

Second best was ditching Facebook like it was cancer.
