Oddly enough, the Gen Zers that have decided not to talk to me or my wife, because they can’t stand disagreement, are our nieces and are both rabid Trump supporters (well, unfortunately I currently live in Florida) and couldn’t stand the fact my wife made a joke at Twitler’s expense.
Not that I’m complaining, I don’t want anything to do with Trump supporters (SEE! It’s US TOO!) so that made it easier for me. My wife is more family oriented than I am and is pissed about it.
All of which is kind of meaningless given the article conveniently forgets that under 25 year olds of all generations (as in I saw it with mine) traditionally (1) tend to be more politicized, (2) tend not to have the practical social skills to understand the need for tolerance and (3) quite honestly, the country has swung to the right recently and being intolerant of fascism is no vice and a mark of being a human being, so anything they’re seeing with Gen Z is simply an amplification, thanks to (1) and (2), of what’s actually happening among all generations.
If people want me to hang out with them, they can stop wanting LGBT people killed, can stop supporting politicians who are passing laws denying life saving healthcare to women, can stop calling everyone who disagrees with them pedophiles (and can stop supporting groups that actually support pedophiles like the big three churches), can stop supporting the murders of black people by law enforcement and “white people who think they’re law enforcement”, and so on. 'cos all of those positions are extreme. And horrible. And you don’t get a pass in my home for having them.
I absolutely love the enthusiasm for required regulations in this thread but everyone is missing one critical aspect… illegal workers are probably a huge part of those impacted by this. Many of these “companies” who cut counters work through subcontractors and I bet the majority of these are just a guy with an LLC. I would love to see more numbers on the type of worker/businesses being hit with this illness.
Lot of people get CPR when in reality they’re dehydrated, ODing, or something similar
If you don’t have Narcan on hand, and they’re not breathing, rescue breathing might keep them alive until the EMTs come. If they don’t have a heartbeat, chest compressions might keep them alive until the EMTs come. CPR’s rate of success isn’t great in most circumstances, but it’s much better than nothing. No pulse, no breathing, their chance of death by the time EMTs arrive is essentially 100% without CPR.
I didn’t care about this statistic when my daughter needed cpr
While panicking I didn’t know what do do but call the emergency services, I screamed in terror into the phone, they were trained and instructed me and the wife to do what we needed to do until the ambulance came. My eyes get teary and my gut gets cold even writing this. My daughter survived and is as healthy as can be now.
This is even when my wife is an trained nurse that would have been able to handle the situation if it was not our daughter.
Nothing could have prepared us on how to handle the situation if we couldn’t call emergency services
Am I missing something about how this racist psychopath is independently wealthy at 23? No? Then why even bother with this? He’s already going to die in prison.
Patrick Crusius was sentenced to 90 consecutive life sentences
This is a non-story. Hell, if I was in prison, with no hope of reprieve, I’d agree to whatever you put in front of me. What were we supposed to learn here?
Perhaps this is to ensure that any future income he might get is already earmarked for families. What income you ask? If a killer later signs a book deal or sells the movie/TV rights, that could represent quite a bit of money for the victims. By getting an agreement now, there won’t be a fight in the future.
It’s brilliant if this is why. I absolutely hate that serial killers can still sell thier story for money. Fuck you; you forfeit that right when you take someone elses life.
Yeah selling your criminal story should be considered proceeds of crime, right? Like, you only made that money because you did crime. 100% of money made from a crime in perpetuity should be given directly to victims.
No, it’s more that the boomers/older Gen X treats any sign of even polite disagreement as attacks on their very character. Many of them simply cannot accept that their views are outdated, and any challenges to their view is a disrespectful slight.
It’s very telling that many of them still complain about millennials as children ruining everything to this day, when the oldest millennials are in their early 40s, and they are somehow shocked that Gen Z is even more progressive and vocal about their views than us millennials.
Indeed. It appears he didn't have a lucrative career beforehand. Even if he wasn't in prison and worked for 50 years and had 25% of disposable income garnished (the maximum amount) he'd need $37,000 of disposable income, per month.
I'm not saying those lives are worth less, they are definitely worth more. But this sum was never going to be recouped.
Since he’s in prison, the reality is that the amount he’s paying is negative. Instead of paying the government money in the form of a fine, he’s costing the government money because he’s in prison and needs to be fed, housed and guarded.
Wait, everyone was telling me this only happened in China.
Huh. You mean it’s okay for America to spy on its citizens but not the Chinese? I guess I am a stupid tool who doesn’t realize there’s a trade war going on and both nations pull the exact same shit with their populace as the other.
