During the Wars in 1912 and 1913, military hospitals for wounded soldiers were opened in all bigger towns in . Most hospitals were in where several thousand wounded soldiers were treated.The number of hospitals in Belgrade increased during the Second Balkan War with the Bulgarians (June-July 1913), even thirty-six in total; two permanent and thirty-four emergency hospitals.

The last XXXIV emergency hospital was located in a onetime tavern Smutnikovac at the Topcider hill. The owner of the private hospital was the industrialist, banker and philanthropist Djordje Vajfert and it was run by his nephew, the lawyer and industrialist Ferdinand Gramberg.

Just read John Rennie Short’s ‘Insurrection’, a good overview into what happened before and during and after Jan 6. Short and concise.

I didn’t need to feel more depressed, but I also felt I needed to know more

Analysis

"The US political system was created to restrain democracy, not protect it.

"The founders essentially placed a ticking time bomb at the heart of our political system—and this could be the year it explodes."

They worked within a system that concentrated power in the hands of an elite, propertied, white male minority.

200+ years have "increasingly vested the majority of political power in the hands of a reactionary conservative white minority."

Imo, the "four threats" are interconnected aspects of the intentional foundational anti-democratic system.

I know many autistic individuals (myself included) who (on the whole) are not assholes.

on the contrary I find the vast majority to be very concerned about "doing the right thing"

unfortunately all you need to be an asshole is a desire to be said asshole.

As such, echo the sentiments of others here and say ditch that person.

The "Oh I'm not an asshole/racist/sexist/etc ... I'm autistic!" argument didn't work for Musk and it won't work for others.

he can still be autistic AND an asshole.

DoctorDisco OP ,
@DoctorDisco@mendeddrum.org avatar

I should add, for completeness sakes, I am not without my own periods of assholery.

I do constantly strive to avoid it.. but occasionally, it rears its ugly head(s).

However, I go on record to say I've never been a major asshole.. just a minor garden variety asshole.. espousing my strongly held opinons over trivial matters blown out of all proportion :) hehe

The front iron on the gondola has five fingers, not six as is common today.

There haven't always been six fingers. In the 1600s three knobs were common.

Question for the crowd, especially those who also have (boosts welcome):
I've seen people with autism share their experiences here and found much of it oddly familiar. Much is explainable by my existing ADHD diagnosis, but some less so (e.g.: some sensory stuff). My doctor doesn't think so because I "can make eye contact". Is it worth seeking a second (professional) opinion? 1/2

jlamothe OP ,
@jlamothe@fosstodon.org avatar

Most of the things that can't be explained by ADHD don't impact my life too severely, but I wonder if there are options that help with autism that might be more beneficial than just treating the ADHD alone. 2/2

I’ve never been thrilled with Lwaxana episodes. It’s not Majel. She does fine with what she is given. I just wish the writers hadn’t gone back to the well so often with Troi’s mom looking for a husband.

socprof ,
@socprof@masto.ai avatar

@mimarek1 Agreed, although the scenes in the turbolift were well-done, going from flirting to deeper stuff as Odo progressively lets his guard (and shape) down. @allstartrek

mimarek1 OP ,
@mimarek1@masto.ai avatar

@socprof @allstartrek Yes - chapter development for Odo and a bit for Lwaxana. The later Lwaxana episodes are usually better in this way than the earlier ones. She has vulnerabilities that she struggles to hide.
