“I know you had a hysterectomy but let’s just take a pregnancy test anyway.” - doctor in the ER

Does this happen more with male doctors or female?

Yes.

Being asked about it and then being required to take a pregnancy test anyway even when you are not able to get pregnant shows the doctor isn’t going to be listening to you.

When every single fucking ER visit for someone who knows they are not pregnant due to not having sex or not being physically able to get pregnant starts with a pregnancy test ‘just in case’ instead of addressing the issue you came in for it is clear that they aren’t going to listen to you about the real issue.

When the ER or urgent care always insists on discussing pregnancy ‘just in case’ when a woman is not able to get pregnant it means they are focused more on something other than the actual problem at hand.

We have slightly higher standards for courtrooms than positions that have the power to order people killed directly.

Time for some Vienna sausages dipped in refried beans!

“Separate conversations are splintering discourse, we should all just shout over each other in one massive wall of text!”

The separate communities across instances is a benefit of federation just like separate posts are a benefit over a single thread for everythjngs. Yes, features that allow them to be combined for those that want that way of interacting is great, but we don’t need a single news community between all instances when there are can be massive differences between instances.

“What’s a computer” energy.

Entering the country illegally or staying too long is the same thing as rape and murder according to this administration.

Pretty sure it is a people are different trait, although it is pretty easy to get distracted by the small details.

I used to do the small detailed work which was great, and had managers that asked for estimates and ignored them and others than listened and used them, but of course estimates are estimates. Now I do project management and do my best to use the longest possible estimate, sometimes offering to add extra, because it is necessary to know when things are most likely to be done so something else that is dependent on it being done is ready. Barely anything actually meets exact deadlines of course, but planning ahead helps with keeping things from being so overwhelmed that they can’t be done.

But I can’t do both the details and the big picture at the same time. One or the other on a particular day for personal stuff and one or the other for longer periods of time at work.

Same thing with “5 year plans”. I literally cannot do it because 1. All my plans involve “have money to do thing” and 2. You could easily get cancer and die in 5 years (or other big changes).

For me, any kind of long term planning is likely to be interrupted by the unexpected but if I don’t have something to work towards then I will just be stuck in a daily loop of ‘doing something tomorrow’ and then never doing anything because everything will get done ‘tomorrow’. I have just accepted that ADHD is going to reduce my productivity for necessary things and hobbies by few hours out of every day compared to the average person and work around that.

The whole point of congress is to have individual opinions.

Johnson isn’t their boss, they should feel free to speak openly about whatever they want.

Agree with everything here, plus I miss cars coming in a wide variety of colors instead of just inoffensive earthy and silver tones.

Last century…

Last millennium…

So, just the one incident?

Banned is the wrong word.

Steam chose not to distribute it because it they understood an early build to include children in sexual situations. Further builds did not dissuade them from the original decision.

Epic, who originally was going to distribute based on the developer filling out some form chose not to after filling it out themselves and finding it had a higher rating (adult only) at the last minute.

The developer speculated it was about a specific scene, but based on both steam and epic there are fundamental concerns about the content that led to no distributing on their platforms, which is not banning, that do not align with the story the developers are presenting. It is not likely to be about one scene that was in an earlier build that was the issue for them.

The important thing is that the game is not BANNED in any way whatsoever. It is available on fewer distribution platforms, which reduces visibility, but is not banning any more than exclusive deals or limited releases are banning on other platforms.

Personally I get the impression that the developers see the content very differently than steam and epic because the developers focus on intent and steam and epic focus on what actually exists in the game.

I’m sorry, are you saying a single incident that didn’t have an apology was unforgivable or that it represented a common trait of your dad?

Like it is trying to determine what I ‘really meant to type’ based on predictive text.

Republicans are not shrugging, they are actively cheering it on.
