Almost every other animal dies pretty quickly after having their last round of children / losing fertility, but humans live almost twice as long. Elders have a literal hardcoded purpose in human evolution.

another relevant comparison is why it’s OK for you to get irradiated by the xray machine but the technician goes and hides behind the wall. you’re getting it done once today, the technician is doing it 50 times a day 3-5 days a week (or more depending on cost of living in the area 😉). You’ll notice a lot of those nail techs and dental professionals are also wearing respirators while applying product to their clients and patients. wear your ppe.

The worst part is that it’s not just that it’s a position of power, it’s that there’s also very little else about it that’s desirable. Your entire job is to show up places and tell people to stop doing things they want or feel that they need to be doing, and often that they’re willing to physically attack you for interfering with. The pay is also pretty mediocre overall. So if you want overall pleasant interpersonal interactions or a decent wage, you’d have to go elsewhere. If all you want is power over other human beings, that job will be a great fit for you.

and in the ways that’s it’s not customer service focused it’s so focused on flowsheets and tracking metrics that you have to constantly consciously remind yourself that the human in front of you isn’t just an object that you’re doing things to. It gets to a point that you’re wiping people’s genitals with the same efficiency as you’ll wipe down the bed when they’re done with it and some patients can tolerate that well enough but then every once in a while you get someone with sexual trauma. And that’s just one example.

entering the workforce as a young millennial I had a lot of older coworkers talk shit about the young kids wearing their unprofessionally fashionable jogger scrubs but they certainly don’t drag through spilled bodily fluids like flared ones do!

I’m also fascinated by this I’ve literally never heard it before and I’m here for the tea / popcorn. 🍿

I too am fascinated by this assertion.

Ubuntu was really good when I was a kid. when I went to school like 10 years ago I had to have a windows computer for a while to run my school’s proprietary virtual clinical lab software and I was too busy studying and going to irl clinicals to worry about getting a dual boot running. I tried to go back once a few semesters in but it seemed really bloated compared to the Ubuntu I grew up with and I did mint for a bit but that computer kicked the bucket iirc and I didn’t have the time to set up another dual boot. Hubs is thinking we’re gonna have to switch soon and I’ve honestly been ready for a bit and think I’ll probably try mint again, but distrowatch says a lot of people are super into cachy so I was considering that. Will Probably still try mint first.

Yeah I feel this. Not in any of the specifics, pretty much all of those I’m completely opposite to you in, but just in the overall sense of "yeah this shit’s complicated, I mostly like having sex with (in my case penises).

the only news I subscribe to are Reuters, WikiNews, and the pew research panel. it’s really done my mental health a lot of good.

somebody tried to bring them to our psych ward and argue that they needed them because they were prescription (in fairness they were but bruh). it was a shitshow.

one of the advanced search options on Behind the Name is “community impression.” you can also search by language of origin, languages that commonly use it currently, etc, and, of course, by gender. I picked five and polled my friends and there was a clear winner.
