I completely disagree with the sentiment here. My 40s have been great because they marked the point in my life when I finally lost my last fuck to give.
The freedom that provides is worth not being able to drink the way I used to in my 30s. Enjoy that achievement.
Dude, this is so amazing, thank you! I just found a raptor rescue a couple towns over from me that I didn't even know existed because I never thought to look. I'm donating to them for Christmas. Thanks for bringing this to our attention
I'm in the middle of book 7 and holy what a shift. I'm in the part where it's so overwhelming, you can't even begin to imagine how this will get resolved. Very excited to read the last two books.
This is the thing members of the public need to understand when they hear about healthcare understaffing and "shortages"
If we're understaffed, it's not just a matter of us working harder. It's a matter of corporations gambling with your lives and exploiting our commitment to our professional licenses to prevent that from happening. When faced with this untenable situation, we have no choice but to quit, and a lot of people have left healthcare entirely because they're tired of fighting with corporations rolling the dice.
At least part of the "shortages" you hear about are artificial, driven by these losses. Those people who left still exist, still have their training, and can renew their licenses and return to the industry if we can finally fix the horrific working conditions.
Practical Engineering - in depth presentations of civil engineering feats, concepts, problems, solutions
Joe Scott - just simple, entertaining discussions of interesting topics
Philosophy Tube - longer format, intensely well-cited presentations on philosophy related to current events (with theatrical costumes!)
Ryan Hall - who knew that a weather forecast could be so fun? Regularly updated weather forecasts for the entire United States with detailed coverage and livestreams of events like tornado outbreaks, hurricanes, and large snowstorms. With charity drives to provide supplies to people on the ground
PBS Spacetime, PBS Eons, all the PBS channels really
Plainly Difficult - consistent quality, often hilarious presentations of various disasters. I particularly like his entire series on radiological accidents, often involving lost radioactive sources that random members of the public stumble onto, which is terrifying.
I'm one of these patients. I was successfully treated for an autoimmune brain condition of some sort. To this day, none of our clinical testing has ever showed any abnormality. I was treated based on detailed medical history and my insistence that my self-reported symptoms be taken seriously.
It took months to find a physician willing to treat me, and I still to this day don't understand what they were so afraid of. My self-reports of symptoms, patterns of exacerbations, and positive response to corticosteroids were consistent and unequivocal.
I was in nursing school at the time, and I don't know if that helped or hindered me. But I finally figured out how to speak the language that my physicians could understand, even though I was the patient. That shouldn't be necessary.
All I know is it better have Cara Gee or we riot.
