Steam, Kindle, Audible, what was that movies site?

FB is also threatening bans for posting any links to it.

I need a bot then. I click through 7-8 of those and still don’t pass.

Both are meh compared to home. Dough is flour water yeast. Touch of corn meal for roll out. Add time. That’s it. Cheap and easy.

Reclaim the Pizza Hut crust of 30 years ago by preheating a #8 or larger iron skillet with oil in it, carefully dropping in your rolled out crust, making sure it has a nice edge, and building your pizza. And your crust won’t taste as sugary as subway bread.

You have money to spare, pizza oven for the thin crust.

Dominos is better these days if you have to choose.

No. Memmy + Apple. I can put up to 5 spaces between paragraphs and I’ll still get what looks like a 1.2 space between paragraphs every time.

Dealing with PC lemmy is work so I stick with the app on the phone.

Spaces between paragraphs don’t really show on Memmy and walls of text suck.

Whatever works, I’ll try it.

In the kids case, that’s a staffing issue. Most lockdown mental health facilities have a tech/CNA whose sole job it is to walk around and log the location and state of every patient every 9-15min, depending on policy. In addition to the techs/CNAs who herd everyone to group, meals, and all the rest. In addition to mental health staff that run the groups. In addition to nurses who do meds and assessments. In addition to “orderlies”, not big men in white like in movies, who tackle people these days, but people with intense training in deescalation.

.

In the elder case, that is often a staffing issue. If it’s day shift and you have more than 6 residents assigned to you, that’s a staffing and/or state level regulation issue. If it’s evening shift and you have more than 8 residents assigned to you, that’s a staffing and/or state regulation issue. But yes, declining mental health (dementia) and brain deterioration (Alzheimer’s) is part of elder care. Sometimes it’s the sole reason they’re placed in a home, because that decline in brain capacity requires 24h care.

.

A lot of health care jobs would be absolutely ok if they were actually safe for both patients and staff. But corporate greed often doesn’t allow for that.

Staffing matters. And it often will be ignored until the state mandates a law that requires the corporate owners to do better.

I’ve encountered more cases of syphilis in the last 2 yrs than across the span of the last 20yrs. So, maybe.

Someone comes in with “altered mental status” and we were reaching for answers, to find the cause, so test, and find syphilis. So now we test more for this thing we rarely tested for and find more syphilis.

It was just one theory, backing his advice. We didn’t have the sharpest teeth or claws, but we could run away. And far better than our lazy asses generally can today.

Bingo. Temu and Aliexpress. Same site, really.

Woodpecker or the item you can freely drop on the concrete floor without crying due to loss of investment.

The second hand market is 80% suck since 2021 or so. Everyone wants retail for their shit. And goodwill has decided to be “the last reseller” and priced accordingly.

.

People want to sell their beat up tools for $10 less than the full warranty with returns tool (router, brad nailer, palm sander, belt sander, recently, different sellers.) a plug in craftsman belt sander as old as my dad and you want what now?

.

Shirts. Even the best thrift store will have a $7-8 minimum on a used shirt. Meanwhile, I can get 2 for $10-12 on Amazon, new, with returns.

.

Photo paper is an uncommon thrift. Though I found two 5x7 packs for $1 each this year. They were in a box with wrapped postits and index cards so I think someone was confused.

.

Remember, time is a commodity. Killing a day and coming out empty handed isn’t for everyone.

Harbor Freight.

The science on how humans survived through some seriously apex predators tags this as the reason. We evolved to run, the Usain Bolts of the world not being rare back in the day, which is why we are even here, and now we’ve de-volved into a sedentary society where Usain Bolt is the only one.

That’s a fair point. It is the ticket hopelessly steeped in misogyny. Meme-ing that would probably bother them almost as much as “weird” does.

PC here, I don’t play sports games. RPG stuff. Larian, Bioware, Bethesda, yea the damn Ubisoft AC games, RE, and such. Some of the indy stuff. If it’s DND I have it. And 4x. I love and hate 4x. I’ve not seen ads in any of that. I suppose they could’ve worked McDonalds or some bullshit onto Mars station or the Presidium, but they didn’t.

Maybe. Republicans usually toe the line. DEMs individually fight about what the line is all the time, it’s a defining characteristic. Not so much with repubs. So, maybe.

The story lasts longer. And there’s no commercials. Why not?

I say that as an old person.

Or broken belief. You ever meet someone born again who snaps out of it? They present as both betrayed and really angry.

Let’s see what they shake out of this strange man in the next couple days.

This is probably a byproduct of this nationalism thing, fomented by Trump himself.

This guys media is pretty ick, but it’s worth noting that he presents most closely as Libertarian, and wears flags. And his hair is blue and white in conjunction with a red face.

I think these people shooting at him are a byproduct of what trump stirred up and encouraged in 2016. You don’t just get one thing. It’s not a homogenous mix of people, it’s a large mob of folks. You also get the Jan 6 crowd. You also get this guy. And other guys like him, wherever they are right now.

It’s people being people. They are multi faceted. The crowd he awakened in 2016 isn’t just one type of person. It’s everything from “yay, community” in a rather g rated wave a flag sense to Jan 6 people, including the shaman, to this guy and the kid who shot before him. We don’t know, he and the shaman may have had a beer together at one point. Even if they didn’t, it’s plausible, and that’s my point. Same crowd, different facets.

And the kid who was shot by secret service? Wasn’t he pissed about Trumps association with Epstein and the rape charges? Again. That’s people being people. It’s not right or good, but it’s human motive. Believe hard enough in someone then when these guys feel that belief is betrayed, then what?

.

What happens between these guys and Trump when their belief in him shatters?

.

This is some serious shit. Feels like we may be starting on the momentum of a spiral. Which is terrifying.

It’s a white thing. Nothing is a monolith, mileage always varies, but look at what, middle of the bell curve, look at what our culture does. Take a close, hard look at nursing homes. Many cultures don’t have them. We do. Why? Because each generation tends to have a “I have my own life to live” attitude.

Get out of the house. No, really. What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you still living at home? Are you deficient? Lazy? A mooch? Do you lack adulting capacity? What is wrong with you? Why are you 20(+) and still living at home? 30 and still at home? You probably don’t qualify as human any more.

This attitude from the very people who then end up abandoned in a nursing home by these kids they pushed out, later. Some, loudly lamenting how their kids abandoned them there, never come to visit, and are now living in their house.

Multigenerational is moving in, yes, but it’s not where things started, for sure. Some white parents even charge rent at 18.

Mileage varies. My white family did none of this. My mom is in a mother in law apartment on my property. Her parents lived with us. I lived with her during college. And so on.

But there’s a prevailing get out of the house as soon as high scho graduation hits, and an “I have my own life to live” attitude.
