I was at a 4th of July party and got way too high and there was so much going on, some kid with a super bitch mom was harassing my dog, there was lots of BBQ smoke making it hard to breathe and I was using portable oxygen at the time so it was really fucking with me and Independence Day was on the TV but I was so high it was like the frame rate on the TV was too slow and I started crying and I told my husband “I don’t want to watch this anymore it’s like a really long gif” which he laughed at but it was embarrassing to be crying in the living room over Independence Day surrounded by mostly strangers lol
The person yelling. Why are you yelling? Will yelling somehow upload the “correct” (you approved) knowledge into their heads? An “idiot” is often someone just doing something differently but even in the case where they are just an idiot, it’s not like they chose to be an idiot, you might as well be yelling at them for their hair color.
A few years back I was sitting in a cute little Italian cafe and the music was all instrumental covers of popular music and sure enough 3/4ths of the way through our meal we got rickrolled by an instrumental version lol it was funny as it dawned on me “…is this…??”
She certainly already has super powers, idk how on earth you can pop out ten kids and raise them while also working an incredibly demanding job that takes a decade of education to even get
I think a critical part of being a human is the ability for those chemicals to induce such feelings, the ability to wonder and see beauty is something special
The main issue with fair trade maybe not being especially fair is you have to buy into the system, those who can’t afford to join are often the farms that need the most help because they’re the poorest. So it’s a system that makes sure the poorest farms are excluded which is obviously problematic. The program it’s self can be beneficial but the price that fair trade kicks in it is too low for a lot of farms to survive, which again benefits the richest farms that were not excluded by the buy in. It could be a much fairer system but it’s not “a scam”
I don’t want to link articles to facts like fair trade being buy in or the rates fair trade pays but it’s all available information
I have cystic fibrosis so I’m a professional patient since birth. I don’t actually believe most doctors are sadist, maybe a good chunk of surgeons though… I think it’s more that med school is its own sort of brain washing, the worship of protocol and deep seated beliefs of the quality of their knowledge churns out doctors who have been through the ringer and can become self righteous because of it, it’s incredibly rigorous, you’re sleep deprived, you’re being fed knowledge for hours and hours a day… it makes you incredibly susceptible to accepting knowledge without question. A lot of them need to believe what their doing is humane, is correct, that thier knowledge is valid so it justifies their whatever is happening and their knowledge also already told them how much this hurts, they don’t get knowledge from patients just information.
The way doctors are trained is a huge part of the problem, the way patient care is approached is just as bad, it goes back to academia as well, most studies do not include women in any capacity so their experiences are not reflected in the knowledge doctors do have. I think most doctors are normal people with good and bad traits and approach medicine in the way they were taught to, medicine as an institution simply does not value the experience of the patient, only the outcome of the treatment on the physical body, as if the mind, where pain happens to happen, is divorced from the body.
I feel like the more you watch the more watchable it is cause you get more and more context
