It’s been a long day, and I chose to drink… so I’ll bite. There’s definitely been what seems an increase in public awareness of narcissism and manipulation, but the “general public”, to me, has taken free reign on what exactly that means. I see a lot of accurate and also complete misinformation regarding those two topics within social media.

It feels all the rage these days, but maybe I’m just getting old. “Opinions are like @$$holes, everyone has one” was a good mantra growing up that I try to apply to most facets of life.

That is an atrocious shade of orange for the bears

I will be honest, I may have missed that one. I do know that there were quite a few spoofs that floated around the web back then too at the height of its popularity, though.

That being said, I watched the claymation Rudolph the red nose reindeer movie and the scene where Rudolph goes missing and his mom and dad were talking about rescuing him and the dad says “no, this is man’s work” never stuck out to me until being older and playing it in the car with my child. My spouse and I both looked at each other and were like “wow, don’t remember that”. So mileage may vary 🤷‍♂️

You and me both. I’m definitely well past 12 and still don’t know what I want to be.

You ain’t lying! It was great and I know it would still hold up now ( minus the graininess)

Huh. Didn’t know that, but makes sense. I agree. I really liked VR Troopers growing up

The whole show was priceless

Uhhhh, why to does Washington’s outfit look like the Steelers? Did I miss something?

Legit used to run home as fast as I could after school to catch the episode 😂

Part of me would be excited to see it spin up again, part of me dreads it ruining childhood memories

I contemplated SWAT Cats. Fond memories of that show

Man I had forgotten about Gargoyles. That was a great show too

I was sadly Team Genesis back then. I missed out on a lot of cool games. Toe Jam and Earl was my jam though

I see your local option and support it. Also shout out to whataburger (patty melt). But I will raise you the Braum’s #6 (if it’s in your area). Also Rosa’s Cafe for drive through Tex mex

Calling 911 is the right way to go. Activating emergency response system. And if you don’t make sure someone else does and tells you they have. So many times people assume someone else called and no one has.

There was a push at one point in time to teach bystander CPR, which focuses on compressions at a rate of 100-120 a minute with a little less focus on landmarks and more “middle of the chest and go”. It also taught that people typically have about 20 minutes of reserve oxygen in their venous system and that compressions continuously increased survivability by keeping the circulation going through compressions. Considering average ems response time in the US, it seemed to reduce confusion and encouraged more community response (not wanting to do mouth to mouth is a fear people have). Not sure if it’s still being taught, but it was fairly well received at the time.

Thanks for the assist!

If you’re in the US (it is the cdc) you can look up healthcare acquired infection rates on the CMS website.

There is also this: https://www.hospitalsafetygrade.org/. It gives a letter grade for hospitals using some of that cms data and some other required / optional metrics.

Mind you, the data sets provided by CMS are usually 2 years old and the hospitals may have made improvements since that data. Reimbursement is tied to those rates being lower (sort of)

It’s related to the CSAM stuff that happened a bit ago. Most of the instances purged and disabled the Pictrs database until a better solution can be determined. The general thought process is to use an external site for now
