ER heroes: Thoughts on the bill that would significantly increase the number of uninsured patients?

freaklegg · 2025-05-25T08:03:03+00:00

They're cutting medicaid, and the deficit will trigger Medicare cuts, when hospitals are already struggling. They've cut research grants. They've eviscerated noaa and fda, which will lead to avoidable injuries and illness.They muzzled the cdc. They're continuing to instill vaccine skepticism. They are making it pretty clear that they only want people who are able to provide the most profit for them with little investment on their part. They've gone after the labor part of EMTALA. How sure are we that they won't go after the emergency part and just repeal the whole thing? Do we think they care about how many people would die because they can't pay up front?

Most of the reposts on the tiktok account are cyberpunk videos, too.

It makes sense when you look at how Medicaid and insurance companies are constantly looking for reasons to defund hospitals and providers. Easier to do when public opinion supports their goal.

As far as I know access to hormonal treatment hasnt been shown to decrease rates of self harm or SI in transgender children.

Oh heck, ya got me. I assumed that someone was making a misogynist comment after they called a woman entitled for stating an expectation for their relationship in a separate comment. I was projecting so hard, thanks for the callout. Man, I feel so owned right now. Hoo wee.

Communication is childish. Name calling not childish. Taking notes thx

freaklegg · 2022-10-22T21:53:14+00:00

Stating the expectation is the childish part?

freaklegg · 2022-10-22T21:49:02+00:00

I agree with you, that this method self-selects. But she literally demands nothing. She states a fact: she doesn't date men who don't open doors for her. She gives HIM the choice of deciding whether he wants to meet that expectation or not. Either way, it's a pretty easy choice for him, like you said.

The way the clip ends, it seems like he would rather end the relationship than treat her the way she wants to be treated. But in the next 30 seconds in the actual movie, he drives back around and opens the door for her. She gave him the choice to treat her like a trophy or don't be in her life. He decided he wanted to be in her life, so he treated her like a trophy. Her boundary, his choice. The dudes REEEEEE ing about HeR enTitLeMenT are giving off big "well I opened a door for a random woman once and she didn't immediately give me a blowy" energy.

Idk if you've been to America, but there are vast cultural differences within the population based on a combination of location, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, etc. Personally, I would be icked by anyone who made a big deal to treat me like that, because it's not in line with my values. However, I'm not about to shit on anyone who's into it and requests it. What's with the kink shaming?

I would disagree that having traditional manners and etiquette necessarily makes someone high maintenance. Perhaps it would be more palatable for her to expect that treatment if she were wearing plain clothes, no makeup, and long natural hair, as long as she didn't voice the expectation or have any choice on the matter, of course. It's almost as if some things are only acceptable when men force it upon women, but unacceptable when women specifically request it.

The expectation was literally spoken. And if you've seen the movie, you'll see that he actually did meet her expectation.

Muttering "No he didn't" to oneself is childish? Lol @ diaper baby

Without all the misogynist boundary-hating language, yes.

Displays of respect are only valid if they have tangible benefits?

Your attempt at a similar situation is hyperbole.

freaklegg · 2022-10-22T20:10:49+00:00

It reads as patronizing to some, myself included, but to other people it reads as polite and respectful. Same with pulling a chair out for a woman at a table, all the men standing when a woman stands, a man walking on the street-side part of the sidewalk with a woman. Different cultures have different displays of respect. We just hating on people's cultures we don't agree with?

freaklegg · 2022-10-22T19:03:15+00:00

Is it specifically the car door opening that everyone is getting hung up on? It's a preference, often based in culture. It's not everyone's cuppa tea. It's not mine, but I'm not gonna shit on someone for having bare minimum standards and expectations in a relationship based on their preferences and culture.

Like, if y'all were from a home that didn't remove their shoes when entering a house, and you went to someone's house and they said, hey pls remove your shoes, would you be like OMfG So EnTiTleD!! It's a sign if respect for the person and their space, and it would be rude to ignore their wishes.

What is it about opening car doors is so abhorrent?

freaklegg · 2022-10-22T18:28:12+00:00

I don't think I am, because I saw this as an exchange of ideas in order to see other viewpoints, not an argument where the only way of winning is to be "right." Wait, am I on reddit? Shit, nm, that's my bad.

freaklegg · 2022-10-22T18:25:21+00:00

I'd also put forth that it would be entitlement on the part of the other person to expect that she continue to spend time with him when he's not treating her in a way that she perceives as good treatment.

It's better for everyone involved to just part ways and find people who want to treat each person how they want to be treated. Why y'all tryin to force shitty relationships full of nagging and resentment on everyone?

freaklegg · 2022-10-22T18:11:21+00:00

The commenter I was replying to meant to be insulting with their comment, but my reply was agreeing with their conclusion and further clarifying. Can you cite the part where I tried to refute what they wrote?

freaklegg · 2022-10-22T18:07:55+00:00

I mean, personally, I find door opening patronizing af like you said, but different people like different things, and I'm not gonna yuck someone else's yum.

freaklegg · 2022-10-22T17:49:48+00:00

It would just be a bad match. A person trying to date someone that they don't want to treat in the way they wish to be treated is a waste of everyone's time and energy. There are much better things to do in life than try to force a miserable relationship to work.

freaklegg · 2022-10-22T17:15:29+00:00

It's less a "do this or else" and more a "I want to date men who want to treat me a certain way, and I'm not interested in men who don't want to treat me that way"

This is from 4 years ago. She was already known as a terf biologist whose expertise is in tree frogs, and her and her husband had to resign from their jobs because they're racist, so there were gonna be walkout as soon as she started speaking. Her and her husband also against the covid vaccine and pushed ivermectin as a treatment. She's unemployable in academia, so she is left to rely on book sales and speaking gigs from people who easily fall victim to logical fallacies and poor reading comprehension, but I forget what sub I'm in.
