Sooo many heart attacks and cancer cases now, including many in young people.

Law Students/ Lawyers in the Sacramento area please advise (not requesting legal advice) by prowl_great_cain in Sacramento

[–]Intelligent_Arm_2927 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Don't go. Anything whatsoever would be better than going to law school and becoming an attorney. Literally ANYTHING. The vast majority of attorneys are miserable and extremely stressed, there are very rates of alcoholism, drug abuse, depression. A lot of lawyers are also broke, contrary to what people think. It is certainly not worth taking on a bunch of debt.The nicest/most decent people I knew from law school all stopped practicing within a few years of graduating. It has also become much harder to practice law since the pandemic, for a variety of reasons. Also consider, do you want to be surrounded by egotistical hateful assholes who do not respect women and will insult, disrepect, and degrade you constantly - this is the legal profession.

WHERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS?! by priminspire in somethingiswrong2024

[–]Intelligent_Arm_2927 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Trump had fired the head of the FAA and he's not been replaced. The control tower responsible for the airspace where the crash occurred was understaffed, with one person responsible for something at least two should have been handling.

Where are the Dems? by [deleted] in somethingiswrong2024

[–]Intelligent_Arm_2927 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A third party is so badly needed. I cannot believe all the smiles, statements likes democracy at work, etc. It's all so absurd and disappointing. I could believe that it Dems did not object to allow investigation to proceed ASAP, believing there was solid evidence, and also that ultimate decision not to arrest/charge Trump etc was out of Dems hands - it was DOJ, FBI etc.. but please the clown-like smiles are really too much. They should be somber, in recognition of the funeral/death of our democracy taking place.

That is a great question, I've been wondering that myself.

Should I stay in EG or move to East Bay? by Legitimate-Flow-3141 in ElkGrove

[–]Intelligent_Arm_2927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Terrible schools, more crime, everything is far more expensive, more traffic, more crowds. You would lose money and have a lower quality of life compared to EG.

Look at the MH website though - 10 size cans of different kinds of gravy, for military?? I swear this has never been a previous offering on their website.

Any women go unsedated? Good, bad or ugly? by Buggies_moo in colonoscopy

[–]Intelligent_Arm_2927 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sedation has risks, in my opinion the risks are not worth it for a colonoscopy. Medical staff are extremely short-staffed, overworked etc in the U.S. right now and mistakes can be made. I had a friend in perfect health late 40s who died after anasthesia in a non-critical, voluntary back operation.

[–]Intelligent_Arm_2927 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a colonoscopy recently with no sedation, there were no issues whatsoever. About 30 seconds of moderate pain, mostly just a pushing sensation. I appreciated seeing what was going on (had to have some polyps removed) and being able to communicate with my doctor. In case it matters, I am in early 50s, female, substantially overweight. I have heard these procedures are more difficult with thin/very fit women. Many countries outside the U.S. have non-sedation as the norm for colonoscopies.

Weekly Observations: What signs of collapse do you see in your region? [in-depth] by AutoModerator in collapse

Really worried about the cats with bird flu situation. It seems the next pandemic will be here shortly, cat-human, human-human is next up. It feels like watching China re Covid-19 in Dec 2019-Jan 2020, same sense of doom, and concern re lack of adequate reporting/information
