I think this is better presented as:

"Oh wait you are FOR fascism?"

"No I'm just against antifa."

"There is no like, regulating body for this 'antifa'. It's just what the fascists labeled anyone who isn't supporting fascism. If you aren't a fascist, then you are antifa."

Before the war, Lincoln wasn't an abolitionist. He wanted to stop new states from having slavery, and keep no slavery where it was. He was fine with letting the south keep their slaves for the sake of the Union.

The problem was the South did not want to limit their potential to grow slavery to new states, and decided to go to war over it.

Still doubt negotiation could have worked. Lincoln really did not want to go to war in the first place.

I think once when this was posted they said doctors would see other patients and even perform autopsies then do surgeries with no hand washing between.

Woah that sounds really great actually, considering Tesla probably has 10x the autopilot miles driven compared to other manufacturers.

I think a big issue is that the government takes a decades long view. This is great because they can plan how to effectively manage our water and other large scale projects with longevity in mind.

Meanwhile, our corporate CEOs take a quarter of a year view. They'd burn the company to the ground as long as it happens after they are stepping down and makes them look good beforehand.

Not quite everything.

Garmin has transflective screens for their watches that are not only better on the battery life, but become MORE visible in sunlight. Resolution is not nearly as good but I think for an exercise/health device that's acceptable. For some reason though, probably because the amoled screens look nicer in the store, those are considered "premium".

I think eink for any significant reading instead of OLED. Boox has an android tablet with a color screen, even though the colors are washed out looking. Eink is easier on my eyes for reading books and I'm hoping to get that tablet for reading Lemmy too since I end up looking at the screen so long.

OLED for pretty much everything else. Though the black smearing was slightly annoying in VR, the switch to LCD lost a lot with the blacks not looking black, more like gray. I hope they switch back to OLED.

Pharmacist here. I can't really agree with that take. We have shared liability, in large part because the doctor is super good at diagnosis, and relatively good at what to prescribe for it, and a pharmacist is not good at all at diagnosis, but is trained specifically on medications and interactions.

A doctor should not be prescribing something harmful for you, but it happens, and the pharmacist catches it and calls and gets it straightened out. That's a normal situation, but opioids are a bit different.

The doctors were overprescibing, but we always were allowed to refuse prescriptions. If it was questionable, we can always call and document our conversation with the doctor. I've never heard of a pharmacist getting in trouble if they actually called and verified the MD did truly want that much medication, after being specifically warned of the risks.

If the pharmacists did that call for all of these, then I'm with you it's the doctors' fault. But if they just took in the prescriptions and filled them without checking for safe use, they failed to do their job protecting the patient from harm.

I wish all inclusive resorts were more common in the US. I love cruises but they are SO bad for the environment. We are floating a whole hotel across the sea for very little reason. What I really love about them is like 80% just the all inclusive resort parts. Put that resort near a cool hiking mountain or other fun stuff and my "excursions" for the day will be just as fun, and I don't have to kill the environment to get there!

Oh bonus idea: either all inclusive "resort" train, or connect these resorts via train for the adventure aspect.

We need different terms for people who HAVE a million dollars and people who MAKE a million per year. Lots of people will read this millionaire's tax and think it will apply to them when they are nearing retirement since they finally have a million dollars after saving all their life.
