Saying all the quiet parts out loud

edit: to be clear i am referencing the police talking to each other idk what else people thought i meant but ok

I am tempted to do this as I have the training.

I also have type 1, which cuts my chances of doing it significantly.

I can make my own insulin, but that means boiling a lot of pancreas that are not mine. Turning me into a vampire like creature for others pancreatic juices…

fkn ,

Technically didn’t that already make you a vampire… Just one that lives in a society where you pay money to a good of people to find and boil those pancreas for you?

Rev3rze ,

Nah, insulin is produced by bacteria that have been edited to contain the genes to create insulin. No pancreas is harmed to make it.

@popemichael@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Now-a-days it’s not made from pancreas, but I’m not confident enough to edit yeast DNA yet.

ClockworkOtter ,

Sorry, when you say you can do you mean you have, and used it?

popemichael ,
@popemichael@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I have a small amateur lab at home, yep.

Its really easy to make once you know how. Though it takes a lot of prep and animal pancreas.

I’d rather use pharma insulin though. I only learned for SHTF reasons.

And this chode raised his fist and yelled TRUMP WON in the courtroom. I hope that years from now, while laying awake in his little concrete cell on his shitty foam mattress, listening to his cellmate crank one out next to him, he has a moment of clarity and realizes, “I threw my life away for Donald fucking Trump?!?”

afraid_of_zombies , in Bodycam: Pregnant woman accused of shoplifting shot by police

As the fetus is now legally a person and did nothing wrong the officer who fired the shots should be arrested for homicide.

MisterD ,

So double murder and illegal abortion too.

assassin_aragorn ,

I bet you could probably trick some pro lifers into pursuing this. There’s enough true believers.

If it’s not obvious those rules are in place to punish women. Not to protect. They will never ever be applied in a protective way. That’s not what they were made for.

Alwaysfallingupyup ,

could be argued that it was an accomplice…

ScrollinMyDayAway , in Officials can’t interfere with local Tennessee Pride festival under anti-drag law, judge rules

I’m sure the cops will harass them anyway.

Well, being a hippie paid off 🫡

Duamerthrax , in A Putin Critic Fell to His Death in Washington. We Still Don’t Know Why.

Police don’t suspect foul play killed Dan Rapoport.

Police don’t want to fall out their own windows. They knows this is above their pay grade and would rather the feds take this case over.

roguetrick , in Nobel Foundation retracts invite to Russia, Belarus and Iran representatives to attend ceremonies

So strange. They're disinvited to the science/math side and invited to the peace side.

verdantbanana , in 63% of workers unable to pay a $500 emergency expense, survey finds. How employers may help change that
@verdantbanana@lemmy.world avatar

people will worry so much about this but will elect the same people over and over again to lead based on shirt color just because they change the shirt to red or blue same clothing factory

maybe younger people from a new political party might be able to help or rioting in the streets or something

HoustonHenry , in Jimmy Buffett, legendary 'Margaritaville' singer, dies at 76

I gotta look up how much he pulled in from his Margaritaville resorts

Minsk_trust ,

He was forbes 16th richest celeb. 550 million net worth.

Underpaid employees: Corporations are going to fix this problem they created by paying employees their share of record profits?

Corporations: No, not like that!

phoneymouse ,

Profits are unpaid wages, change my mind.

keeb420 ,

Profits can go to cover capitol expenditures on your business as well. And there's nothing wrong with that.

tider06 ,

Profit is what’s left of revenue after expenses are covered.

N0_Varak ,

And capital expenditure isn’t necessarily an expense in the accounting sense. CapEx comes from previous profit

tider06 ,

It’s an asset charged as a fixed expense, depreciated over time. It is an expense, generally property or equipment, but still is an expense, which is defined as money spent in pursuit of revenue, which is determined before profit.

collegefurtrader ,

Profits can be used to expand the business and hire more employees

dylanmorgan ,

No, that’s “capital expenses” and companies write that off on their taxes. Profit is what’s left after all expenses, including capital ones.

@Nonameuser678@aussie.zone avatar

I agree with this statement but thought I’d have a go at challenging it just for fun. The nature of profits and wages is relative to whether or not a business model requires workers to make profit. For example some companies make money off of owning the result of a worker’s labor (patents, software, creative work etc) rather than their ongoing labor. So while not all profits are necessarily unpaid wages, they are still dependent on the exchange of labor.

My boss likes to show us how much money the company is making at our quarterly meetings. I think he thinks it’s morale-building, but I know, in at least the case of me and a co-worker, that all it does is make us think of how low our pay is.

arefx ,

I would just straight up say that next time and make it weird.

FlyingSquid ,

Yeah, I want to keep my job. Until I find a better one.

Me, looking at a $500 dentist bill for a crown because teeth are luxury bones: Yeah……fuck.

SeducingCamel ,

Me struggling every month trying not to think about the unpause

IMongoose ,

I had a root canal and crown, $2k. I’m financing a tooth now.

Drusas ,

Worse: I had a root canal done years ago. Then I found out, after the tooth broke, that the root canal was done incorrectly and the tooth needed to be removed. I had to pay for the root canal and to fix the tooth and to have it removed. Fucking dentists, man.

I just had to pay a $50 copay to get a gastroenterologist to tell me he wasn’t concerned about my problems, it was because of my ulcer, and to add Mylanta to my medications in the mornings. He literally could have told me that over the phone. American healthcare is a racket.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

My dad needed $20,000 worth of dental work. So they took a trip to Costa Rica for maybe $3k-5k and got the dental work done for free. Because Costa Rica gives free healthcare, including dental, to anyone in its borders. And they got a good vacation out of it.

They could afford to do that though. Most people couldn’t.

arefx ,

Your crown was only 500!?!

nutsack , in Narcan — the opioid overdose medication — will finally be available over the counter

why in the fuck would it not be to begin with

arefx ,

Conservatives don’t want it?

nutsack ,

i don’t know. i think there are many inconsequential things you can’t buy over the counter in the united states. i have to wonder if it’s a health insurance complex thing.

arefx ,

I mean health insurance plays a part in it. Conservatives don’t want to pay tax money on narcan for people they consider valueless when they are already paying for their own health care. How do I know they think they are valueless? They don’t want them to have access to a life savings thing. Also plenty will just straight up tell you that if you ask.
