Who up paying in naivety

[androdragynous]

there is a screen reader / magnification program that is the only one the low vision clinic knows of with these features and it is $650 Canadian Dollars behind specific approved vendors that require you to be geographically close to them and get government approval of a degree that I am only just now reaching after being visually impaired for going on seven years. I feel normal about this

[androdragynous]

if you can code a program that does any or all of the following:

Magnifies a display beyond standard options with keyboard / mouse movement inputs or voice commands,

Can read text on the screen,

Has different color filter options for text / background distinction,

Can change and magnify the cursor beyond standard amounts,

Works on Windows or more than just Windows,

Has a keyboard echo (says the character you've pressed on the keyboard out loud)

... there is a genuine, GENUINE need for you to code this and put it at a more accessible price point than $650 Canadian Dollars which I also just learned is a SUBSCRIPTION FEE AND NOT EVEN PERPETUAL. if you are reading this and able to code I am begging you. would genuinely change lives

This amount of individualism is exactly whats gonna kill us all btw

[ashintheairlikesnow]

"Going a couple hours without eating a single kind of food? No thanks, I would rather kill a child" is such a wildly horrifying take to see MULTIPLE people proudly stating.

Hey so clearly this argument needs more context because A Lot of people aren't well educated about allergies.

Please read this, I'm not trying to shame or insult anyone. I've worked in food service and I have loved ones with life threatening allergies, and what I've learned is that most people just aren't taught much about them and don't come across in-depth information casually. So, it's one of those things that you don't know unless someone bothers to really explain, but it's actually really important to learn about because often someone's life may depend on you knowing this.

Some allergens are airborne. Meaning that the proteins which cause the allergic reactions can be in the particulates that come off of the food (the same thing that allows you to smell it, allows the allergen to be inhaled). Nuts and seafood are some of the most severe ones, but not the only examples.

This means it is not at all like a diabetic expecting others not to eat sugar, or a vegan demanding you don't eat meat. A person asking you not to eat an allergen near them is doing so because proximity to the allergen can kill them. An allergy is not a preference, it is not another way of saying you don't like something, it is the term for a type of potentially life threatening illness.

Important to note: Different allergens have different effects, and even the same allergen can range in severity. Dust and pollen making someone tear up and sneeze is a type of allergic reaction, and someone being exposed to shrimp and having their throat close up, going into shock, and dying is another form of allergic reaction. Some people with a mild nut allergy might only have issues if they consume some, and even then it might not be life threatening, while someone with a severe nut allergy could get a lethal reaction just from airborne particles or residue. You can't assume that you know someone else's limits just because you're familiar with your own allergies and reactions.

Allergies are not curable and they are not stress induced. Calming down about it will not lessen a reaction. Allergy medications may reduce the reaction, and some can fight anaphylaxis enough to save your life if you're lucky and take it in time but there is nothing someone with a life threatening allergy can take to prevent reaction entirely, and reacure medications aren't always enough to prevent death. Allergies are a lifelong, incurable illness like diabetes, but they cannot be managed through diet and preventative medication. They're at the mercy of environmental exposures.

Nobody is telling you what to eat in your own space, or what you can order at a restaurant. This is an issue of shared spaces where someone can't just leave if someone opens a bag of peanuts. Especially on an airplane, which is small and sealed off and thousands of feet in the air with no way of just stopping and letting you off in an emergency, if someone is exposed to an allergen in those circumstances they very realistically could die. (this also applies to any kind of public transit and waiting areas. you're asked not to smoke at bus stops because other people who need the transit and have asthma or certain allergies could go into severe respiratory distress).

Sometimes not travelling by plane isn't an option. People with allergies do take responsibility for their own health, to the fullest extent possible without living in a hazmat suit, but sometimes that responsibility can't extend beyond begging the people around them not to expose them to poison. Notifying the passengers and crew was the most responsibility she could possibly take, because her life threatening illness is vulnerable to environmental factors that she has no control over. But sometimes you still need to get on a plane, and beg and pray that nobody chooses to kill you.

Now, I'm actually begging you to explain this to as many people as you can, especially the ones who are callous about shit like this, because changes are they genuinely don't know the full range of allergies or what anaphylaxis actually is. The more people know about allergies, the more likely people with allergies are to survive. Thank you.

[petewentzisblack1312]

we seriously need to stop conceding to the personhood trap when it comes to abortion rights. is a fetus a person? thats a spiritual question. i dont care about the answer. should another person dictate what someone can do with their body? simple answer: no.

[petewentzisblack1312]

like if a fetus isnt a person it has no right to my body and if a fetus IS a peson it also has no right to my body because there is no other context in which we are required to put ourselves at risk of physical harm to preserve another persons safety or even life.

you dont have to save someone from drowning even if youre a strong swimmer. even in death youre not required to donate organs and that could save several people. you can kill someone if you truly believe your safety is at risk. we dont mandate preservation of life over autonomy in any of these circumstances.

“So... We got the exploding diarrhea. Here's my advice for anyone who doesn't have it yet:

It's going to take a minute for the government to pin down where this is coming from, and then issue a recall, because the FDA has been gutted. But, I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt : this is coming from Taylor Farms produce, and you will see them recalled.

You'll want to avoid all Taylor Farms produce in the grocery store. They supply McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, about any fast food place you can think of.

Raspberries, watermelons, cilantro, and the veggies you're hearing about are not causing this many people to get sick. It's the shredded lettuce, specifically, that's the problem. But, you'll want to stay away from every type of produce this company puts out, because one strand of shredded lettuce is all it takes to contaminate bushels.

Taylor Farms is the source. Taco Bell proactively pulled their produce from their restaurants. You're going to see other fast food places doing this, and probably will see that before the government names a source. The FDA knows this, but they can't come out and tell us all until there's proof, which takes resources and research, which takes manpower, but the FDA has been cut by about 20-30%

During the Biden term, onions at McDonald's had ecoli. We knew this because DNA testing was done quickly and they were able to narrow it down to one place that caused the outbreak. And, it was traced back to Taylor Farms. This isn't going to be solved as quickly though.

When you get this, make a virtual appointment to your PCP - a "same day sick" appointment. Tell them someone in your family just tested for this and was positive and was prescribed Bactrim. If you go in person, they're probably going to make you poop in a cup and wait until results come back to prescribe.

You'll know when you get this. Trust me on all of this.

You'll want to stay hydrated because this parasite damages the lining of the small intestine. Your small intestine, in turn, secretes more water into the gut, and less nutrients and liquid are able to remain in the body. So no matter how much you shit, you're going to want to drink. A day of this leads to dehydration if you don't increase your fluid intake, and a few days will land you in the hospital.

If you have headaches, weakness, muscle cramps, dizziness, or an increase heart rate - hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Go to the ER for fluids if you can't drink enough.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Brought to you by America's 250 birthday celebrations, workforce reduction in the FDA and CDC, and viewers like you.

Please feel free to share this.

And, MAGA - don't blow up the comment section. I argued with y'all on COVID bc I was afraid y'all would die, but I really don't care if you get explosive diarrhea.

And no, ivermectin will not help this at all.”

[tennesseewillams]

whatever tho. not like i really care that much because im cool and easy going
