That’s why it’s a disagreement. I’m not necessarily saying their opinions are factually incorrect, just that they are devoid of empathy, morally reprehensible, and antithetical to the teachings of the religious figure that they are statistically likely to claim to be faithful to. A lack of empathy should not be rewarded.
Typically, the things I disagree with are the things like bad faith arguments, lies, rudeness, or bigoted ideals that purport that not all humans deserve equal rights, etc.
Usually, when I disagree with something, it is because it is incorrect, lying, or particularly mean-spirited. I disagree with people that do not think that every human deserves the same rights. I disagree with people that push for ideologies that would strip other humans of their rights, or that would inflict needless suffering. I don’t downvote people when I disagree with what media they think is good or something. I downvote those that express ideas that are antithetical to what I see as basic human decency or that are factually incorrect.
Personally, I use downvotes to say “I disagree with this and/or it is a stupid/bad/bigoted/etc take, but I do not wish to spend the time and effort to respond and get dragged into a text-based mudfight with someone who is unlikely to speak to me politely, no matter how polite I try to be in my rebuttal.”
I like having a way to say “no, bad, stop that” without having to spend time trying to explain things or engage with someone who I think is beyond convincing anyways.
“Tachycardia” is a sign. “Palpitations” or “heart racing” are symptoms. Signs are the objective things that can be measured and recorded as hard data. Symptoms are what the patient reports feeling that are not measurable. In taking a history and physical, the symptoms tell the physician what signs to look for.
I’m in my third year of medical school, so I’ve just started my clinical rotations, but one of the things that shows up on almost every reference table for physicians regarding treatment options is information on the price for the patient. I’m rotating in a family medicine clinic right now, and we pretty frequently prescribe the best possible treatment, and then when the pharmacy runs it through the patient’s insurance and finds out how much it’s going to cost, we then start working down the list of next-best alternatives until we can find something the patient can afford. Because there are so many different insurance plans out there, we have no idea how much something is going to cost until the insurance tells us.
Medical field here: The vast majority of us are not in it for the money. Physicians have to spend 3 to 9 years after medical school working for a wage that works out to about $5/hour to gain certification and a medical license in their specialty. And that’s after 8 to 12 years of undergraduate/graduate/doctorate education that basically has to be paid for with loans unless they’re in the military or come from a rich family. So, yes, physicians do make high salaries once they’re established, but there was a lot of work and sacrifice to get to that point, and very few people are masochistic enough to put themselves through that just for the money.
Also, the most expensive parts of a medical appointment/surgery/ER visit etc is the administrative overhead, inflated prices of drugs and supplies, and insurance company bullshit. Very little money from that price tag actually makes it to the healthcare workers. Your average EMT on an ambulance makes between $13-20/hour depending on the state minimum wage.
If you have a problem with your healthcare costs, that’s something to take up with your representatives in government, not the EMTs, CNAs, nurses, and physicians providing your care.
What I mean by that is there is a lot of training for heart attacks/cardiac arrest and significant trauma, but not a whole lot for general illnesses or more minor health problems.
I have an EMT license in America and am currently in medical school. EMT training is entirely centered around “stabilize the patient and get them in front of a physician”. They have a limited range of capabilities, but the training they do have is focused on the things that will kill you quickly, and a brief overview of other things.
As well as ICanHasCheeseburger and fml.
Yeah. I’m pretty sure the Hampster Dance predates the Y2K bug.
I have no idea what YTP is, but I spent a lot of time on Albinoblacksheep and reading a bunch of webcomics every day. In the late 90’s and early 2000’s, I spent most of my time on Neopets or trying to find things I was interested in before Google and Wikipedia existed. It was a lot harder back then.
No, this is just the fraud ruling and the associated interest. The E. Jean Carroll trials aren’t included in the amount on the page.
One of his legal losses. This doesn’t include the E. Jean Carroll rulings.
The edit history would show things like copy/pasting large blocks of text versus normally typed edits.
If you write something in Word or an equivalent program, there will be metadata of the save files that shows creation and edit timestamps. If they use something like Google Docs, there’s a very similar mechanism via the version history. I actually had the metadata from a Word document be useful in a legal case.
The failure of the programmers to account for this kind of situation just speaks to their complete obliviousness and lack of understanding of other people. It’s not terribly different from the problem of voice recognition software working best with male voices in a west-coat American accent because that is the entire sample set of people used to train it in the beginning.
I will just straight eat peanut butter with a spoon. The peanut butter is what I really want and putting on or in something just adds that many more calories.
(I do run into problems sometimes because my cat tries to steal my peanut butter.)
(To be fair, I did manage to run Half Life: Alyx and Beat Saber on a 1060)
