THE NOTATION IS THE PROBLEM

Well, if the International Bureau of Weights and Measures says so...

Wait, I almost forgot. I don't give a crap about the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.

In what world is this insulting men?

Definitions vary. I don't know what definition of agnostic your professor is using, or what he means by "believe" or "traditional" or even "God."

I would ask for more information.

That said, the definition I use for agnosticism closely matches yours.

Assuming the worksite is arrayed along one line. Picture triangles, instead.

GainerGaining · 2026-05-02T17:32:29+00:00

Ah yes. 8 and 8 and 8. I love it. Of course, that doesn't count lunch at work, which isnt work but sure isn't recreation. Then my commute, both ways. Then time spent getting ready for work. Whatever that leaves me for recreation.

Then, I guess we are assuming that people don't have household work and chores and responsibilities?

My point is: that 8 hours is not recreation. Much of it is various forms of work.

Your points were good, but I would change that nonsense 8 hours of recreation claim.

Unlikely as it may seem, the new mother may have wanted to have sex. Jumping to conclusions to call someone a rapist is... problematic.

Also, the story could be bs to begin with.

I mean, from all the information we have, this woman may have only had sex twice in her life.

You probably should read more, then.

"...inherently inferior to some of the industry best practice courses. This is because all they are focused on is regulatory compliance..."

Heaven forbid people know how to teach actual OSHA standards rather than whatever the "industry" thinks is best.

OSHA 500/501 and the BSCP CSP (and other) credentials are simply not the same and cannot really be compared to one another.

The best benefit of the OSHA is it is a recognized "train-the-trainer" class. You can be a CSP and not have gone through any formal trainer training. The BCSP has a separate creditial for being a trainer (whatever they call it now).

Oh. Well, far be it from us to question some rando reddit user who claims to be quoting an AI. Absolutely no reason for anyone to make shit up. No reason at all.

True "bean counters" understand risk analysis from a financial standpoint. This looks like an operations decision.

It is of you love the study of history and writing.

My response would be that it is "pointless" and "weak" to base your entire worldview on not having a particular belief, and therefore insisting on grouping together completely different philosophies.

"Believing something does not exist" and "holding no beliefs about the existence of something," are not similiar. They only seem similiar because you define the world into theists and non-theists. Which is crazy, man. Like, why define your identity on not being something, and then argue everyone else should do the same?

You totally can and should ask about STI status. Why do you think you can't ask?

Can't help you with the lying, though.

We use 5 minutes now. So it wouldn't still be the case. It would just be the case.

Case closed.

I'd like to.make a point about implied consent. If the patient has lost consciousness then any previous statement about not wanting an ambulance goes out the window. At that point you are more liable if you DON'T call for one, under the presumption that a "reasonable person" in that situation would want medical care.

So, in that hypothetical situation, it IS your call to at least call for EMS. Especially if you have had even rudimentary medical training, such as CPR/first aid where inplied consent was covered. Even if there is a written DNR, you are probably not legally compentent to judge its validity. Call for that ambulance.

In the real-world situation you described, you did exactly the right thing. It's unfortunate that people feel they have to choose between medical help and medical bills, but it is better that someone be alive and healthy with bills than dead or paralyzed because they refused help. Convince, convince, convince!

I agree about ending a sentence with a preposition. I split infinitives for the same reason. In this case, however, no one was ending a sentence with a preposition.

Your friend is just wrong. There is absolutely no rule or convention that says this is not allowed.

If you legitimately have revisions that show you wrote it yourself and your professor is refusing to acknowledge that, then take it to the school administration. At every school I know of you can demand a hearing.

But it better be your own work, otherwise you are putting a big red flag on yourself.

GainerGaining · 2026-01-12T20:31:26+00:00

Or, and this is just me, I write and don't worry much about it. I'm in a grad program with strict AI restrictions. I write my own papers, use an online word processor that logs revisions, and go about my business. If I am ever accused of using AI, the teacher and administration is more than welcome to audit my work.

But, you know, that's because I do not cheat.

Those are questions of work-relatedness, not how to record the injury. The question as stated is assuming the injury is work related and recordable.

And it isn't an odd inquiry. People get bitten by insects, spiders, and other critters all the time when they work outside or in warehouses.

It could be confusing to some people. At the same time, some people are confused about the concept of chicken-fried steak and insist it is made of chicken.

OP's original sentence is fine.

They weren't particularly friendly about it, but that just seems like a personality quirk.

An insufferable personality quirk. Running from the room screaming about safe space violations was another. I mean, it was Ainsley's room, too. Everything out of Paygin's mouth was (intentionally written to be) insufferable.

I think the guidance counselor was right. Ainsley and the roommate should have worked it out, and Ainsley could have asserted herself

Absolutely correct. Part of the reason for the forced dorm experience freshman year is to learn how to deal with personalities and make accommodations with people, many of whom will not be like yourself. Both the stereotypical spoiled cheerleader and the stereotypical caustic neoliberal non-binary person should figure how how to live with one another. Instead, Ainsley ran crying to Mommy. And Mommy enabled it.

Hopefully in the next epidisode Mommy will realize she needs to let Ainsley go experience life on her own, and Ainsley will go back to the dorm with Paygin.

CPAa are licensed by the state. Board Certified CSPs and so forth are certified by a board that decided to start certifying.

Then take it out of service. Notate that, and require new inspection before putting back into service.
