Let’s keep the standards high…and the cutlasses sharp.

over here you get up to 7 other patiens in the same, unventilated room. Including patients who have air-transmittable infections

That’s a surprisingly apt description of Hell, at least for me.

My friend was at a much nicer hospital, albeit they didn’t see anything made of gold. They had their own room. It certainly wasn’t paradise; I think the recovery from sepsis gave them a clarity of mind and purpose that transcended the casual discomforts. Plus they were medevac’d 400km from their home, so they were more socially isolated than normal. Sort of like a monastic experience? Thankfully they have excellent insurance, so the medical costs weren’t a giant concern like they would be for most people in the US, which probably would have been mentally debilitating otherwise.

My best friend spent a week in the hospital with a life-threatening condition. Besides the almost dying part, it was the most relaxing and life-refocusing event of their adult life and they’re grateful to have experienced it. A forced reset and some compulsory solitude can be a blessing sometimes.

Were I to ever go to prison, I think I would personally love to get some solitary confinement time.

According to Tim Urban’s blog article on Tesla and Muck from 2015, one of Muck’s stated goals was to jumpstart the other auto manufacturers into producing their own EVs to accelerate the trend toward a more sustainable energy future. Whether that was true then or now is irrelevant, but it is nice to see EVs of many brands being made and purchased. Obligatory Fuck Muck, existential disappointment that he will forever be.

Good ol’ wank-o-clock.

Looking forward to the future where I just think about pizza and it materializes in my mouth.

N6 would not burn with a flame: it’s just a burst of energy that generates a large volume [of gas] – so a lot of thrust, and it is non-corrosive

Reminds me of the time I ran a 100m dash 30 minutes after eating a kilo of Taco Bell.

I appreciate the deep personal insights and advice. Well taken.

Definitely going to be the first drug I try, when I decide to finally start using drugs.

Pretty sure with the current ongoing conflicts, WWIII has already kicked off and we just haven’t fully accepted it yet.

It would be nice to see shelter and support being provided, rather than a bisected bench designed to discourage the ability to comfortably lie down for a night’s rest.

I suppose “populous” could be contextually nounified in niche circumstances.

“No kid should ever have to sleep on the streets, so we made it borderline impossible for them to physically do so. Hopefully their bootstraps figure out someplace they can sleep, because we sure as hell didn’t. You’re welcome.”

I just learned a prison in my municipality has its inmates train dogs.

I went looking for a sign up sheet. Found none :(

What’s the softest way to earn a stint in prison?

Nothing wrong with it if you were, tho. Nothing wrong with you not being, tho. Nothing wrong ever. Except maybe nonconsensual anal sex, but only because it’s nonconsensual.
