I'm not sure if there's something specific you're asking about regarding the age thing. presumably you wouldn't ask "is having a kid a mistake" unqualified, the answer is obviously pretty unique to your situation. being 52 doesn't categorically make it a mistake, but IMO it pushes it into that direction.
me giving an eight minute answer about how there is no creature in the karmic cycle of rebirth more deserving of contempt, devoid of the most basic essential life force that binds all other creatures on earth, wouldn't spit on if on fire, continued failure to be devoured by locusts basically single-handedly disproving the existence of a just creator, etc.
researcher: ok I'm gonna put that down as Strongly Disagree
damn hopefully someday we can just cut out the whole experience of watching a movie and just drink a smoothie that makes us melancholy. save a ton of time for sitting on the couch blankly staring at the leech blender we replaced the TV with
teleport, size manipulation, super smell. i am constantly teleporting into the rectums of famous actresses and experiencing ego death as their farts wash over me and erase all other sensations. i don't even remember my name or how long I've been doing this for. all i know is my mission. i am the fartshifter
yeah uh.. im also kind of unsure what OP meant here. there is no direct battery analogue to an LNG tanker because there's nothing to tank. ships that run partially or entirely on batteries are absolutely a thing, but they're not doing it in order to move the energy around.
it's possible that I'm misunderstanding here but I think the sepsis diagnosis is from a retrospective review of her file. at the time there was no sepsis diagnosis. they even specifically call out that doctor for having been under review for missing diagnoses in the past
After two hours of IV fluids, one dose of antibiotics, and some Tylenol, Crain’s fever didn’t go down, her pulse remained high, and the fetal heart rate was abnormally fast, medical records show. Hawkins noted that Crain had strep and a urinary tract infection, wrote up a prescription and discharged her.
Hawkins had missed infections before. Eight years earlier, the Texas Medical Board found that he had failed to diagnose appendicitis in one patient and syphilis in another. In the latter case, the board noted that his error “may have contributed to the fetal demise of one of her twins.” The board issued an order to have Hawkins’ medical practice monitored; the order was lifted two years later. (Hawkins did not respond to several attempts to reach him.)
the second ER did not diagnose her with sepsis, they diagnosed her with strep throat and a UTI. some portion of responsibility IMO lies with that OB-GYN for screwing up that diagnosis, although i understand the larger point of the article seems to be that doctors are reluctant to diagnose or treat really any condition in pregnant women for fear of getting legally crushed by the state
ive always imagined that test audiences believed it to be a prosthetic and therefore a deliberate creative choice by lars von trier. which is fucking hilarious, because it so thoroughly cheapens the serious arthouse themes he was playing with of like sex and nature and depression if you believe another theme he wanted to showcase was "and the guy has an absolutely monstrous hog"
the people we should be concerned about getting their hands on this data are not like, goateed hackers. they're banks, insurance companies, recruiters. those are some pretty powerful lobbies
yeah but you used to be able to use it. like if your family friend Margaret was eating five zucchinis at once lengthwise you would say "Margaret, stop being such a courgette slut". or if a pressure cooker full of oatmeal exploded and covered her face with oatmeal you could say that Margaret got oatmeal bukkaked to explain to the intake nurse at the hospital.
nowadays you cant say that kind of thing. because of woke.
