But isn’t the point of crash bar locks that just the act of being crushed against the door will force it open? The only thing you have to do to open it is push on it or be pushed into it. Of course that won’t help you when you fall as the door swings open and get trampled, but it’s better than everyone burning to death.

Acute subdural hematoma is usually secondary to a head injury, such as from a fall. In that case it’d be covered, right?

Looks like your spoilers aren’t working - spoilers on lemmy are three : on either side of the spoiler.

The article: Rural people aren’t just racist, homophobic assholes - they’re struggling with apocalyptic economic destruction, constant discrimination and hatred, and have fallen through the cracks of society while society stomps on their face.

The comments: RURAL PEOPLE ARE BAD, FUCK RURALS

I guess you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them read the article…

I will say, though, that as much as rural people get fucked out of their votes in most situations, they are vastly over-represented in others. For example, each vote in the electoral college for California represents 703,000 people. In Montana, on the other hand, each electoral vote represents closer to 250,000 people. There’s a strong sense among city dwellers that the rural folk are dragging the entire country into hell just because they’re suffering under capitalism - and they aren’t wrong, in some sense. America’s inconsistent, patchwork electoral system definitely contributes greatly to the urban / rural conflict.

Because people just show up at rush hour for shits and giggles, and not because that’s their non-negotiable lunch break or their trip home. This is a stupid move.

What is this?

Even those can still have some benefit - it can act as a networking opportunity for people to meet each other and plan other events / get involved in other ways, it can give a morale boost to people considering giving up, etc.

Same, it usually whacked about half the attempted majors into another major. In the first half of senior year. They kept wondering why their program wasn’t growing much even though similar colleges’ programs were growing like mold on a dorm shower curtain. I enjoyed the course and never used the primary skills taught in it again.

Five cases total in nine years, the fatal case was someone who literally was immunocompromised from cancer. I think we’re fine.

Wow, that’s literally “Hang-them-from-a-gallows” treason. I wonder if anyone will even get a wrist-slap.

If this doesn’t get hammered to hell, we’re even more fucked than we are now.

Settled went to weekly and I’m so hyped.

Forest + Penguin = Tux ?

What do forests have to do with Tux?

I could be wrong, but I think the point that @weeeeum was making is that by the point you retire, your body and mind are so wrecked from having been overworked for 30+ years that ‘just go outside’ is an agonizing prospect. Yeah, if you make it to that point and can still go outside and do fun stuff then great. But if you retire at 65, are male, and American, then you’re retiring at the average healthy life expectancy for your group and on average have about a decade of declining health to ‘look forward to’.

Could it be…greed?

For real. This post has big “I have regrets and/or fears that I missed out on my younger life, and the only way to not be afraid is to invalidate other people’s choices” energy. Every life and every combination of experiences produces a unique piece of art. OP, your life is valid and worthwhile - you don’t have to tear other people down for that to be the case.

TBF part of this is because skill checks are weirdly broken depending on the DM. Either the rogue makes the check for the whole party, so two rogues are competing, or everyone has to make their own checks and the rogues don’t help the party. Rogues worry more about skill checks than barbarians on average because that was their original role.

Some way to have multiple people contribute to skill checks would be great.

I used to donate blood pre-transition, but my first try after transition I got told that I would need to “have my medicines approved” by some home office for…being on testosterone. Literally no difference between my blood and a cis man’s. Called the office on the number provided. They never answered. I left a message. They never called back.

:(

And to get qualifications, you need _____

TBF the overlap between Republicans, rural residents, and singles is pretty significant.

“Pick me” and “But they won’t eat my face” at it’s finest.
