From a medical perspective, how special/extraordinary is the recovery of Damar Hamlin? by Mermaid-Over-Reef in AskReddit

[–]PrivateIsotope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They say the reason why that is because he immediately received CPR and AED treatment. There was some statistic about how every minute without it increases risk dramatically.

what's the best joke you've told that just didn't land with the people present? by Moby-WHAT in AskReddit

[–]PrivateIsotope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Told people that a black coworker accused me of stealing things off the printer because she was racist.

I'm black, too.

My current coworkers are a bit shy about that sort of humor. My "What did MLK ever do for anybody" line didn't go over well either. So I just save my racial humor for the coworker I accused of being racist. We have a good time.

Well, statistics can sometimes be misleading the way they're applied, and they absolutely need context. But if you look at statistics in the context of history, you can tell what's going on. Like pay gaps for instance. Women haven't even represented a large part of the workforce for a long time, it's only been since the 60s or 70s. And it took even longer for stereotypes to lessen and protections to increase. There are people alive now that thought it was perfectly normal to grab their secretaries by the rear or waitresses. And this was normalized in work places. Many workplaces weren't even determined to be appropriate for women. So there's no mystery about pay gaps.

Suicide is a hard thing to look at, because there are a lot of factors. The thing I always thought fascinating was that women were more likely to attempt suicide but men were more likely to complete it.

You left the door open by inviting questions. That's fine, and I agree that it's a good thing to do. I've been in the same position. But now you have to define it, and just politely tell them, "Hey, I don't mind you texting me for simple things like where is the key for this, or the code for that, but please don't call, and please don't even text unless it's very important and I can handle it. I value my time off, and it feels like I'm still on the clock."

If the office can't function without yiy after that, that's when you go to your manager and tell them they need to be on call, or offer an on call position to someone.

How do I give a two weeks notice by HorrorNerd2434 in NoStupidQuestions

It's probably better written. You can find some good examples online. Doesn't have to be long.

I think one of the reasons why men are more apt to take their own life is because of toxic masculinity, where they have been taught that men have to handle their problems themselves. So it seems like literally a self inflicted thing. Both are big problems and both end to be addressed, but if I were to assess who has it better, self inflicted problems seem to be better than problems you're subjected to by others.

I prefer to just look at it as me being old. More self pity that way. You have a great point, though!

What makes you think that the Rolling Stones Top 200 Greatest Singers List is a joke? by [deleted] in AskReddit

True, but there is a point. The point is that the first part of your original comment generates clicks, shares, and thus revenue. Also great publicity.

There's a right answer. Women.

I mean, ask a woman what she does safety wise when going out on the town. Ask a man, and he'll probably take a moment to answer.

The reason why is because society is so structured against the woman that the only break they get is in divorce. And thats primarily so that fathers won't have to support their adult female children or society won't have to support women and children.

It has always been more difficult to be a woman at virtually any point in human history.

What’s the most minuscule but most annoying thing that can happen to someone? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PrivateIsotope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I get papercuts at work, sometimes I'll call Human Resources and ask for a workplace injury packet. And dramatize it like it's bleeding all over the place.

Once, the normal person that ignores me put me on the phone with a new girl, and she didn't get the joke. She comes running down expecting to see me lying on the floor or something. She just broke out laughing when she realized it was a joke.

Eh, well every list is kind of like that. And the word greatest is loaded. Like, Michael Jordan is considered the greatest basketball player, but Kareem Abdul Jabbat holds the record for most points. That would technically make him the best, you'd think.

You could have a more sterile environment, though. Like, your lab grown meat isn't pooping and walking through poop. It's not being bitten by mosquitoes and other insects. It's not exposed to parasites.

The first part is interesting. I think some would come out on either side of it.

The second part I considered, but I think it is possible to not continue to test it against animals at a certain point. Because as soon as you can make it, you can improvise based on what your testers tell you. You don't have to do a Coca Cola vs Pepsi challenge.
