But it can’t be wrong, it’s confirming my preconceptions!!

Fuck, are we going to have to crowdfund this? At least with CNN reporting on it there’s enough awareness they might secure alternative sources, but this is getting fucking insane.

It’s a pretty recent one that seems to be gaining popularity in more and more subcategories as youtube’s hypersensitive demonization bot rolls out to more and more videos. Using the words ‘suicide’, ‘pedophile’ or any terms related to self harm reportedly set it off, regardless of their use in context. People are retaliating by using “youtube” as a euphemism in place of the censored terms, hoping it will catch on. So far it seems to be working, as no matter your political, ideological, social or cultural baises we can all band together and agree that youtube are just the worst.

Oh hell sorry, “youtubing” oneself is a current euphemistic slang term for self-harm/suicide. I wish I was young enough for it to have meant something less depressing.

I had whooping cough as a child (vaccine resistant strain) and it got so bad I tried to youtube myself just to get some rest. It’s truly horrifying how bad it can be. I just wish there were recordings of what it sounds like, so anti-vaxxer parents could at least begin to understand why its so awful.

I was in the building when when a 3F 1200V capacitor, part of a multi-rack mounted capacitor bank (powered a magnetohydrodynamic modeling experiment), failed. It ripped the rack’s 30cm mounting bolts out of the floor, launched the three-tonne rack hard enough to crack the ceiling and shattered every window in the facility. I want to say that afterwards I never broke the rule about not being allowed to enter the experiment room until the banks were discharged, but I’d be lying. Undergrads are idiots, and holy cow don’t fuck around with those caps…

People post this kind of stuff in the reviews for every kinky item on Amazon, I’ve never understood the compulsion to share your fic in that medium but I guess some folks gotta write when the inspiration hits 'em…

This very much depends on the subject, I suspect. For math or computer science, wikipedia is an excellent source, and the credentials of the editors maintaining those areas are formidable (to say the least). Their explanations of the underlaying mechanisms are in my experience a little variable in quality, but I haven’t found one that’s even close to outright wrong.

They may laugh now, but you’re gonna kick ass when you get isekai’d.

People root for underdogs.

And Palestine seems to be kinda on Russia’s side as well so remind me again why I should support them at all?

… Please stop agreeing with me, you’re awful.

Not trying to be that guy I swear, have you got a source? That number seems pretty high, even for Israel.

This has reminded me of the Mormon kids at my highschool who’d talk about how “fucked up” and “high” they’d gotten from drinking eight cans of caffeinated soda at once. Adorably edgy, they were.

I think we already knew they’d taken over Customs and Immigration. This is yet more of the same shit they’ve been pulling for decades - just more blatant and with a lot more coverage than usual, which is nice that people are finally seeing what they’re doing. Eyes-on is, despite the lack of rebellious glamour, a critical thing to have…

Huh, been a while since I’ve seen you around SMCF! Glad you’re still up to your hijinx.

I’m assuming you’ve contacted 911 / emergency services since you know that the ambulance is 20 minutes away. In that case, the dispatcher will step you through an emergency diagnosis and if such an extreme action is warranted either they will put you in touch with a medical professional who can instruct you on safe procedure, or they will be a qualified paramedic and instruct you themselves. However that is EXTREMELY unlikely, tracheotomy are almost never warranted (outside of television) in emergency situations, as stabbing someone in the neck is not a trivial thing to do. In my region the procedure isn’t even taught to first responders (Edit: I was half wrong, paramedics still learn it but EMTs do not) (Edit 2: No, I was right! Neither are taught it) as it’s long been surpassed by modern intubation techniques and treatments like fast-acting anaphylaxis medications.

In short, follow the guidelines you are taught in your first aid class and contact emergency services. Don’t stab someone in the neck.

So… how do you tell an airway obstruction requiring an improvised tracheotomy and a similarly-presenting respiratory distress (resulting from, say, catastrophically low blood potassium) apart? Because if you get that wrong suddenly someone, who needed at worst an hour of IV therapy and a flintstone chewable to make a full recovery, is drowning in their own blood.

I think it’s more that it’s hard to explain why palantir’s war crimes are war crimes (to the average uninformed voter, to be clear. Information warfare, what an abstract concept), but “My Child’s Classmates Digitally Removed Her Clothes” is pretty easy to explain (and the country isn’t divided about pedophilia even being a crime…)

It (nudify) makes AI look bad and is the leading example people are using when proposing legislation to regulate AI. If they can end this prominent thing, not only do they look like they’re fighting for the users, but they help keep the gvmt from meddling with whatever henious shit they want to do with AI (by removing the best argument the pro-regulation groups have right now)

Lmfao dude thats propaganda, the marines are teenagers who’ve had “loyalty above everything” kicked into their heads since they joined up. At best they just stand around and don’t do anything, but take it from a former marine, that situation is unlikely.
