jmd_akbar , in Met Police chief calls for more legal protections as army on standby to replace firearms officers

“progress is undermined by a system not set up to help officers succeed.”

What the fuck does he mean by succeed? Successful in what? Successful in meeting quotas of arrests? Successful in ignoring sexual assault cases?

It’s the fucking police… You shouldn’t be run as a fucking enterprise…

FlyingSquid , in Passengers left upside down as ride malfunctions in Canada

These stories happen every year and are why I will never get on a ride that goes upside-down.

HelixDab2 , in California workers who cut countertops are dying of an incurable disease

I did construction very briefly (“briefly” because the company owner quit paying me after a while); companies cut corners every possible place they can, because any safety measures cost time or productivity. Even doing things properly costs time and money that they don’t want to spend. Construction is competitive, so they’re bidding as low as possible, and promising unrealistic delivery times, and then turning around and expecting their workers to make those deadlines and costs.

You can’t fix this without stringent oversight, and criminal prosecution for the owners that are refusing to give workers the correct tools, and follow safety protocols.

Fixed it

Alligator killed by Florida by authorities after human body found in jaws that was put there by authorities.

Pratai ,

Bullshit.

Fixed it.

foggy , in Moog Music layoffs provoke dismay in synth community

They got bought by inmusic recently. The company that owns Akai and Alesis.

This is hardly a surprise. It’s regular old corporate downsizing.

I’m sick right now … and I’m just thinking … glad I’m not on that at the same time 😬

This is why unions are necessary.

I get heart catheterizations at my yearly check ups for my heart transplant. Reading this made me feel sick. I’m so glad I go to a very well renown hospital for it.

JokeDeity ,

My 27 year old fiance just had to have a heart ablation and reading this nearly brought me to tears thinking about what could have happened.

Yes, I’m guessing that part of it is that Chillicothe is in the middle of nowhere (I went to a trade school there).

NanoooK , in Canadian autoworkers approve labor deal with Ford | CNN Business

n addition to the improvements on pensions, the Unifor agreement addresses Unifor’s core priorities, including a wage increase of 10% in the first year of the agreement, effective September 25, followed by a 2% and 3% increase over the next two years of the contract.

It doesn’t look that good to me.

MigratingApe ,

Coordinated action to undermine UAW workers confidence in their negotiations? I’ve seen too many such things for it to be a coincidence.

Ghostalmedia , in Women are less likely to receive CPR in public than men: Study
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

Not surprising. This aligns with other studies around women and cardiac problems. People have a bias toward identifying the symptoms that men show, and women often have a tendency to display different symptoms.

Aqarius ,

I… don’t think that’s the reason why people would avoid specifically CPR, specifically in a public place.

MBM ,

“I have asked people this question on my own, and I’ve been told by some that they don’t know where the [anatomical] landmarks for CPR are due to women having breasts,” Dr. Nicole McAllister, clinical assistant professor of emergency medicine at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, tells Yahoo Life.

Many people who receive CPR training practice on flat-chested mannequins and learn that CPR should be performed across the breastbone and nipple line, she says. “Because people think of doing CPR in terms of a male-form dummy, some of this doesn’t translate well and they don’t feel comfortable doing it in the right spot,” McAllister says.

From the article. There’s also an expert that bring up your reason, and there are some more explanations given (people don’t realise it when a woman has a heart attack, people are afraid of hurting the woman)

Murvel ,

I think more likely, this is what he was referring to:

But there are likely other issues at play too, women’s health expert Dr. Jennifer Wider, tells Yahoo Life. “One reason is a fear of touching another person without consent, especially a woman — this may discourage a bystander to administer CPR to a woman,” she says. (This reason came up in 2021 research conducted by the American Heart Association — people reported that they were not comfortable giving CPR over fear of sexual accusations or inappropriate touching.)

MBM ,

Yes, I mentioned that in my second sentence. The commenter was implying that it’s the only reason, though.

Astroturfed ,

Woman get a bake shake from the healthcare system, but I think this is more about tits and people being afraid of touching them to do CPR…

SpaceNoodle ,

This is terrible, but from the four images shown in this thumbnail I have a pretty good guess of whose idea it was.

No joke. His phenotype is used car salesman or call center shift lead, not doctor, and DEFINITELY not heart surgeon.

Psythik , in Missing Michigan toddler found in the woods asleep on family dog

Again? That’s twice in a week!

What keeps compelling toddlers from Michigan to run off into the woods with their family’s dogs?

EmpathicVagrant ,

If you were stuck in Michigan and didn’t have a phone to scroll lemmy, you’d go explore the woods with your gigantic battle dog, wouldn’t you?

fiat_lux , in Pandemic aid officials who overpaid vulnerable renters are saying, ‘We messed up, pay us back’

American government to businesses after loaning them money during covid: Oh, don't worry about paying it back even though you just bought new cars with it instead of anything you were supposed to do with it, we forgive you.

America government to vulnerable people after overpaying them: WHERE'S THE MONEY, LEBOWSKI?!

Maeve , in Pandemic aid officials who overpaid vulnerable renters are saying, ‘We messed up, pay us back’

Ask corporations and billionaires to pay their fair share and use half a percent of that.
