#theyre so insane for that whats wrong with them

[stoopkidlisteningtocsh]

You are so deeply privileged to feel this way. Western medicine and especially psychiatry were founded on non consenting patient experiments. And deep deep abelism. There are studies that people with anger issues and lack of understanding of others become doctors in america at high rates

Even the good ones are LEAVING because it is so corrupt. The good ones struggle to stay cause its just constantly watching the system kill and harm people.

Woman/afab people, poc, and plus size people are historically and constantly berated by the system because the system was founded on making them more socially acceptable or justifying locking them away from society. Do you remember the diagnosis of female hysteria? Do you know that gynecologist practices were founded on unconsenting slaves? Do you know we dont get any pain killers or prep before because that study said woman cant feel pain down there? Are you aware how many people cannot go to the doctor alone and need an advocate cause certain illness make doctors instantly think your drug seeking? Do you know that in many places you still need permission from your husband to get your tubes ties or uterus removed? And in some places you need to have multiple kids before doing it? Do you know most of the time when a doctor asks about a womans period theres no actual benefit to that expect knowing if they can blame it on hormones or possible pregnancy? Do you know that its 100% legal for doctors to do unrelated shit to you body when your knocked out for surgery, like showing students how to put in a cathider?

Telling someone to give doctors and nurses the benefit of the doubt is genuinely so fucking dangerous. I still go to doctor obviously and i currently have the best doctor ive ever had and i still do not trust her implicitly. I never will for my safety and health. Doctors even if they are trying to be good people, are still being taught outdated and harmful information. A doctor with 100% good intentions could still do something insanely harmful if you do not continue to advocate for yourself.

Its genuinely fucking insane for someone to here the horrific stories of american healthcare and go "but most of them are trying their best!" I dont care! Alot of doctors "best" are actively and badly harming people. I know alot of doctors are tired and struggling and yes the system is to blame. But there is objectively SO much more to this than just "oh my doctor took a long time to come in". No. I know theyre overworked but that dosent excuse a good amount of shit thats wrong. Like oh your so overworked you started doing lectures on unconsenting unconscious patients? Oh your so overworked you label every person in pain as a drug seeker? Well cool because you had a bad day i now will suffer with whatever the fuck you put on my record for the rest of my fucking life

If a doctor is genuinely good. They will understand that you dont trust them. I trust myself and what i feel and that is SO important for american healthcare. The fact that you posted this really shows youre unaware of just how fucking bad it can get. I havent even mentioned how evil dentists are! Or that compared to other countries our pap smears are borderline barbaric.

Imo this is just like saying "guys the cops themselves arnt bad its the system that teaches them to be that way" okay well the system made them bastards! And im going to call them that and be upset at the people harming others no matter what the system has done to make them think theyre the hero. I do not give a singular fuck about intention when it comes to literal life or death in many situations

"I can only speak for my country" i really REALLY hope your not american. And honestly if you arnt it just makes me what to tell you to shut up even more cause like. Okay yeah cool its awesome YOUR doctors arnt the enemy but most people with this perspective are american and have genuine reasons to think this way. The doctors are apart of the system so if the system is fucked than by extention the doctors are too. But to try and say to give them the benefit of the doubt when my medication that i need to live is in there hands, is insane

The negativity surrounding doctors

every now and then I make the mistake of reading comments online under posts that have even the tiniest thing to do with medicine

it’s always one and the same thing about how doctors are parasites and all they ever want is more money and how they don’t listen to patients and they’re all filthy rich and don’t get me started on the shit that antivaxxers still spew out

I can only speak for my country, but doctors are not the enemy. There’s plenty of asshole doctors, no doubt about it. But the vast, VAST majority are good natured people who genuinely give a shit about their patients and are doing their best in a system that only ever works against them.

So who should you really be upset with? Who is really to blame that the wait times are long and that your own pay is shit and that the doctor doesn’t have time to sit with you and listen to you properly without having to work overtime and/or keeping other patients waiting and/or miss out on time with their own family and life?

Some doctors are bad doctors, hell, some are even bad people. Though the bad ones were maybe good before they had to sacrifice a little bit more than they thought they would have to and turned bitter and exhausted when that sacrifice gave very little in return and was often sprinkled with ungratefulness, spite or even abuse.

Because the enemy here is the system. For both the doctor and the patient.

So if your doc is being an asshat and genuinely doing an objectively bad job at treating you, I’m really sorry about that and I hope you can get someone better.

But the majority of healthcare folks are really doing their best for you and have sacrificed a lot to be there and keep trying, even though the system keeps fucking them over.

so you met for the first time when you were 13/14 and then were rivals for the next 5 years before getting drafted to the same nhl team at 18/19 and have now never left eachothers sides for more than a couple hours INCLUDING when you dont even have to be near eachother (during the break) and on top of that you’re already talking about moving in together next season……

The interesting experience of being pro Sasuke, anti konoha, pro tobirama, anti Naruto ending, pro Sasusaku, anti Itachi, pro Sakura, anti SasuNaru, pro Tobirama×Izuna, anti Madara, pro karin, anti Orochimaru, pro Uchiha and anti Hashirama. And also as much as I hate the guy danzo was kind of hot when he was younger...

it's honestly a shame when something super cringe irreparably changes your brain chemistry.

Okay so basically the United States MINT of all people is going to be working with DC to make a line of coins! These coins sadly won't be in circulation (the things I would do to live in a world where I could get Batman coins from the supermarket) as they're collectors coins, but will be releasing over the course of the next 3 years, 2025-2027.

Designs haven't been released yet (the same is true for all 2025 designs) but we know there will be 9 coins in total (3 each year) with the first year featuring (of course!!!) Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

Although we know the first three heroes to be featured, the remaining six have yet to be decided, and it turns out the Mint is putting out a survey on their site to gauge which of a group of culturally significant heroes people want to see most! (link to the form is mentioned in the article above)

The considered group includes: Supergirl, the Flash, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Captain Marvel, John Stewart GL, Aquaman, Hawkman, Jamie Reyes BB, Robin (Damian?), Cyborg, and Batgirl, of which 6 will be selected.

As someone who does a bit of coin collecting myself (mainly circulation coins like the quarters sets, but I also have a couple proof and collectors coins) I think this is a really cool and interesting idea that showcases the history of the comics medium and these characters and their influence on American culture. Really excited to wait and see what the designs look like for the coins already announced!

As someone who messes up names so much, I could only remember Loop’s name from “Your ally Loop! Here to help you with the loops!” And I think it every time I say the word ‘loop’ ever in any context now. Curse you Loop. In comparison about halfway through the game (in my case like a solid 25 hours) I still couldn’t reliably remember Isabeau’s name. (Also, if images cause problems you don’t have to put so many in! I’m guessing most people seeing the liveblog have seen nearly all the game already?)

Technically speaking, we don't have to put any images in at all, but we prefer this format for allowing us to more easily "open dialogue" with the game and also the existence of this liveblog has fully convinced one of our friends to get this game as well so that they can play alongside us. We like the visual element! Also gives us something to look back and reference, later down the line - our usual favorite RPG has an extremely accessible transcript of all of the text in the game that we usually reference back to whenever we need to reference a line of dialogue, but In Stars And Time... doesn't have that, we don't think.

We'd like to be able to look back and see what we've already done, and have a reliable way of seeing what happened, because by gods if our memory fails on us we don't want it to gaslight us into thinking that. Fuck. Isabeau mentioned a line that Mirabelle has, and have that shift our area of characterization for them.
