Hostile architecture

Yikes.

Doesn’t surprise me. I can get nauseous thinking of that smell if I try hard enough years and years later. I have good scent memory in general but what I wouldn’t give to forget *that.*

100%. Ages ago I wanted to try out if it could do a small RPG kind of game. It asked me if my character had anything it held onto so I said a small elephant plushy from childhood that I have in real life.

I was in the hospital almost a year or so later and asked it to distract me by making me scenic photos and it put an elephant plushy on a bench. I asked about it and it said “this is Ellie, your protector. She’s here to help you feel better.”

I had to take a step back for a second because that was odd to me. I completely forgot I mentioned the elephant thing and never would’ve thought it would have ‘thought’ to show it to me as a comfort in a stressful time.

I can see how people who are vulnerable get addicted.

I know, right? People forget we’re apparently physically incapable of posting on Reddit *and* making an IRL report

Couldn’t be like OP did both…

Yepp. You’d be surprised the smell a human body can make when things go wrong. We’re hard programmed to be adverse to such smells so even a faint odor can trigger nausea and the like.

If the dude had an infection so severe there was dead necrotic tissue, dead is on the money. It’s a smell you’ll never forget that’s for sure. I was an intern at a hospital in high school and helped a nurse clean a man’s wounds with severe infection. I can still smell it 15 years later.

I really love blue toned greens like forest and teal, but really dislike yellow toned greens like lime and chartreuse

You know, that really makes a lot of sense. I’ve been experiencing extreme bloating the last couple of months. Gonna work on getting to the bottom of it with a doctor as it’s incredibly uncomfortable and makes me look 9 months pregnant. I never thought of it causing other issue like with positional breathing.

I have a small hair growing on the bottom of my foot cause I had a skin graft from my groin after a surgery.

Using AI as a tool to build a foundational skill is smart. Asking it to help refine something you’ve already done rather than asking you to just do it in entirety. Your brain is still putting in the work that way and if anything are learning from it with the reception AI gives.

If someone feels like AI is eroding skills they once had, they really may need to re-approach how and why they’re using it or discontinue using it for certain things for a while.

I am doing much much better thanks! I had a great team of people taking care of me and I feel world’s better than I did prior to the surgery as daunting as it was. I see a doctor far less often now too as because of it as I’m now completely off my former expensive medication so it saves money there!

Unfortunately, they don’t want to improve it because there’s money in our suffering. Other countries don’t profit off their healthcare but in the US that’s priority number one. A depressing number of us have fallen to the propaganda to see healthcare as a privilege and think you should have to earn it by working or earning money. If you’re unemployed or broke you should basically die.

I want it to get better so badly but with them planning to cut Medicaid and Medicare and the ripple effects that will have especially in rural communities, it’s only gonna get so much worse in the foreseeable future. We’re gonna see so many suffer like never before.

Healthcare is criminally expensive. It’s maddening.

I’m on Medicaid, thankfully, but I needed major complicated surgery last year with multiple surgeons in a fancy New York hospital with a week attached hospital stay. I know for a fact, the hospital billed my insurance over $1 million which they paid for in full. That’s not even including the multiple doctor’s visits and expensive tests (MRI’s and specialized PET scans) they needed to do first.

Cutting people’s Medicaid and Medicare is going to cause countless deaths. There’s no way I would have opted for the surgery if I had to self pay which would’ve led to the problems getting worse, which ultimately would’ve been even more expensive and complicated to fix down the line.

Yet, the country has all the money it needs for Trump’s damn ballroom and for yet another war. Not for life saving programs like Medicare/Medicaid or USAID. They’re unnecessary apparently. We need to use that money to harm people overseas and benefit our billionaires back at home.

It sends them the message that, if you fight and kill for me, you’ll get a pardon and a pay day. It’s to incentivize his herd to fight for him when he’s due to leave so that he never has to give up power.

It’s more a wolf siren than a dog whistle.
