Am I an asshole if my first thought was "vaccinate the child while the mother is outside"?
The child is having a fever. It's not good to vaccinate a sick person.
Fair enough.
But otherwise, no.
There's no test to be a parent. All you have to do is fuck. Creampied by some rando behind a dumpster? Congratulations, the MIRACLE of life.
Human society never really evolves, just rows in circles.
This baffles me so often. I have a coworker who is on cigarettes, weed, caffeine, and alcohol. But is not vaccinated, because that's unhealthy.
Lately he cought me in the office eating sweets and started to educate me how bad sugar is.
You can't make that shit up.
There's a reckoning coming with social media mark my words. I don't know when or how but it's going to reach a tipping point when the destruction is enough.
It is destroying families and communities not government, or science, or policies. People like Elon and Zuckerberg are sowing the seeds that are actively destroying the fabric of society.
It's already happened, we elected Donald fucking Trump to be president TWICE
Yeah. This guy seems to think "the reckoning" will be some sort of revolution, where in the real world we're steamrolling into fascist dystopia.
Are you working with RFK Jr?
Well @[email protected] is actually Donald Trump, believe it or not.
Lmao imaging he'd go on Lemmy to vent about his "co worker" lol
Smart talking about yourself in the 3rd person to hide who you are.
I'm not Trump. I have the identity. The best identity. You can ask everyone. "The best identity" they say. Is he fit to run for president? Yes. Is Dungrad his secret identity. No. Clear no. Think back Waterloo and ... and what they did to those wonderful people. Put that into perspective. Even Obama said Dungrad is not his identity. I like my coworkers. He likes his coworkers. Hardworking people they are.
Truly a masterful example of the weave, Mr. President
Lately he cought me in the office eating sweets and started to educate me how bad sugar is.
I mean, people do tend to eat more sugar than they probably should, but the main artificial sweetener that I see used in candies is xylitol, which is, unfortunately, also a laxative. Eat more than a few xylitol-sweetened candies at one sitting, and one's in for diarrhea.
I assume that we don't have an artificial sweetener in 2024 that both avoids having a laxative effect and has the appropriate properties to subsititute for sugar in candies. I'd be delighted if someone would manage to develop one, though.
The laxative properties disappear after a while (a few weeks). Our body accommodates for it so that 200g per day are no big problem anymore.
Good lord. I went to the kitchen to get me a coffee and grabbed a cookie from the snack bar.
Xylitol also have interesting properties for preventing tooth decay. Not the worst sugar alternative imo
IIRC it doesn't do anything prevent tooth decay, it just doesn't cause it, unlike sugar and many other sugar substitutes.
It stimulates the salivary glands, and saliva does prevent tooth decay.
Yes we do, they just arent as cheap.
You shouldn't be able to smoke outside an ER anyway... People come through there with life threatening problems and need all the oxygen they can get
Need to be 9m from the doors around here and maybe as smoking gets less and less popular it will change to outside the hospital's lot like we already do with schools...
Does not help if no one enforces it. About 10 years back we were on vacation and had to rush our little one to the ER. Since it was a breathing issue and the waiting room was crowded, they suggested we wait outside. Sure enough, then we had to get away from the smokers congregating near the “No smoking on hospital grounds” sign.
Of course the personnel weren’t interested in helping to clear that, and we decided people waiting at the ER were already under enough stress
Yeah in my sister's town the hospital no longer has a smoking area. Some patients run off into the park behind the hospital to have one, and I guess the doctors and nurses just vape in some room instead.

Lucky Strike cigarettes
Your Throat Protection -- against irritation -- against cough.
It was written in the newspaper. Right there !
Friendly reminder. THIS is the type of bullshit the boomers grew up with, and see nothing wrong with.
But a 16 year old at Walgreens working register needing to call for a manager to sell cigerettes because she legally can't? Well that teenager is clearly what's wrong with society!
You know, before it was scientifically proven that smoking, asbestos, leaded gasoline, heroine, thalidomide/contergan, etc etc were health hazards, people had no reason to believe that those things were unhealthy.
I totally agree that it's bullshit someone can't legally sell cigarettes or alcohol while being underage when the recipient is old enough, but believing those things are healthy in a time where it was sold as state of the art or even miracle cures doesn't really mean boomers are dumb.
"Reduces flesh" is such odd wording. Whose flesh? What flesh?
What flesh?
I expect that they're referencing this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigarette_smoking_for_weight_loss
Cigarette smoking for weight loss is a weight control method whereby one consumes tobacco, often in the form of cigarettes, to decrease one's appetite. The practice dates to early knowledge of nicotine as an appetite suppressant.
Tobacco smoking was associated with appetite suppression among Pre-Columbian indigenous Americans and Old World Europeans.[1] For decades, tobacco companies have employed these connections between slimness and smoking in their advertisements, mainly in brands and advertisements targeting women.
They seem to imply that if instead of eating a snack you have a cigarette, then you'll lose weight
Yeah, "flesh" is just such weird wording though. Like saying "reduces meat"
They mean the nicrotic flesh rotting off later in life, getting a foot or a leg amputated is the fastest way to loose weight after all. Worked a year in a ward for smoking patients, the smell is so haunting...
Unreal.
Once someone stops thinking that they should do what the scientific and medical communities advise, it's not a large step for them to start thinking they should do specifically what they advise against.
More than mildly.
She went outside to smoke, so that's good at least.
Bet she doesn't at home though.
Yeah, likely right in front of the doors so she makes sure to poison everyone else, too.
The front of my local hospital always has people smoking, and you'll always be breathing it in if you're trying to enter the ER or main entrance or parking lot or the park beside it.
But the child is inside her though(atleast one of them)
I missed that small detail.
Just because you are not allowed to smoke in there. I guarantee she would have smoked indoors otherwise.
