Wow. How narcissistic is it to assume everyone thinks like you? You don't speak for me. Maybe you got issues with your narcissistic parents but sadly they've rubbed off on you. You might want to look in the mirror before you continue being the very thing you claim to despise.

I feel the same about people who make posts like yours. Its pretty narcissistic to assume the reasons you think they do it are the only reasons.

A bit rich for the pot to be calling the kettle black. Whats more gross is you are downplaying actual abuse when you put unimportant shit like this on the same level as actual abuse.

Man you are an AH. The baby oven functioning properly is not a guarentee. Its something a lot of people struggle with. I find you much more cringe than people wanting to throw an extra party. The only gender reveal party ive ever been to was for people with fertility issues. They had several miscarriages and that pregnancy meant the world to them. Seeing the gender on ultrasound was a milestone theyd never reached despite years of heartbreak.

So you're insensitive and edgy, big whoop. You don't need to post about it and pretend you are hot shit.

Its not my thing but I can understand why people do it. I had friends who had a ton of fertility issues and several miscarriages. Finding out the gender on ultrasound is a milestone. They had never had a pregnancy last that long. It means they made it that far and all looked well. They wanted to celebrate as much as possible. They didn't care what the gender was and that pregnancy meant the world to them. I don't think she saw her son as an accessory at all. Who am I to get upset when people find an excuse to throw a party? There are some people who see their children as accessories but throwing an extra party isn't the measure of that.

And never intend to have children because emergency care is unavailable.

That shit was wild. It went on for so long and impacted so many people. At that point I have to think people were intentionally ignoring it. It ruined so many lives just to say "haha sorry, was a software glitch" when they could have investigated it at any point and definitely should have with the strange uptick in "embezzlement".

Biden absolutely should be fighting this battle. I won't hold my breath as i assume the Supreme Court will butt in but he should at least be trying. I don't see why he wouldn't given that it would be politically beneficial.... then again ive seen him get more raked over the coals for trying on other issues (like student loans) when others who do less dont get near the scrutiny so politically it might not be all that helpful. Its still the right thing to do though. People are dying and red states have decided they have no obligation to follow EMTALA.

Things can be emergencies before people are actually in the process of dying. They consider labor an emergency medical condition under EMTALA and the vast majority of the time people dont die from it. Many could even get by with no medical care at all (not that we should do that). If labor fucking counts so should dying a little more slowly than active dying.

Transferring patients out of the ER does not absolve them. Its disappointing and fucked that this is being allowed to happen.

I loved working 4 10s (and at that place it was more like 4 13s) because it gave 1 day to relax, 1 to run errands/go to weekday appointments, and 1 to clean the house/relax. Id much rather work longer 4 days a week and have an extra day off the workday is so long anyway especially with a commute that I can't do anything after work anyway (and I was too tired to).

Sadly seems like Christianity is the biggest culprit for getting on board with genocide

[–] Cowlitz@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Lmao you underestimate the religious people in this country. Sure we have Muslims but they are far outnumbered by Christians. Christianity is a bloodthirsty religion. Their whole religion involved taking from others outside of their group. Their rules applied only to others like themselves, it was totally fine to fuck over other people. The other people are people who equate anti Israel to antisemitism and dont want to be accused of such things.

[–] Cowlitz@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Not really. I highly doubt it will be rescheduled prior to election when they are just talking about it now.

Its the intent that matters though. They dont get a heads up because people show up trying to better their own lives. When they dont give a heads up to other states and drop people off in freezing temperatures, they are intentionally hurting people. If Texas doesn't want to deal with it they should surrender the land a few hundred miles around the border. They won't because land is a valuable resource. They have more of that resource than many other states, dealing with having a border is part of the price of it.

The other problem is the reason they are doing it is to intentionally cause conflict with other states. That is the act of an enemy. Its cold war behavior. There is a reason I think of Texans as enemies of the US. They identify as Texan first, American second. They only care about getting ahead even at the expense of the country. We should absolutely accept refugees from that hellhole but we should also absolutely hold them accountable for being hostile to other states. They also get federal money to deal with it. Other states do not. They are stealing if they are offloading that responsibility on states who do not get funding for it. They can't whine about being solely responsible for it when they get funding and are also actively interfering with border patrol.

I must admit Texas is the best at propaganda and playing victim. It feels extremely dystopian stepping off the plane and immediately noticing the pictures of Texas on everything. It was so wild I couldn't help but laugh at how up their own asses they are. Their propaganda is so effective people in this thread really think they dont get funding and have to secure it on their own. Its just another lie they spin to win support and apparently its quite effective.
