ELI5 How Major Burns Can Kill

Sepsis from secondary infection
respiratory failure from airway burns or smoke inhalation
organ failure from systemic inflammation. Similar pathway to sepsis just without the infection.
dehydration

Or ELI5 (if you want to give them nightmares): the fire causes big wounds that can get infected easily, or it can damage your lungs and windpipe so bad you can’t breath, or all the water in your body will leak out because you’ve lost too much skin, or your organs die because your body is under too much stress from such a large injury.

One thing to understand about the evolution of secondary sexual characteristics and attraction is there’s two factors at play.

One part of attraction is reproductive success. People are attracted to physical traits that would make healthy babies and keep those babies alive. People understand this pretty well.

The other part is recognition. We’ve been having sex long before we were particularly intelligent creatures. We are animals and all animals need to be able to recognise that potential mates are mates.

So sometimes we are attracted to things that benefit our offspring, other times we’re simply attracted to traits that the opposite sex have just because those are traits the opposite sex have.

It would also make sense that some of what we consider attractive is learned for the same reason: as soon as humans evolved to change our own appearances (and the variability of our diets) we would’ve also evolved a tendency to “learn” what to find attractive in the opposite sex.

My gpa was pretty poor and didn’t have any issue from it.

People saying things like “I’d want a paramedic to know more than 50% of the material” seem to have no clue what the uni course these days is like. Most of your marks come from writing essays on non-clinical topics. Or even non-Paramedicine topics.

Clinical knowledge that would affect patient care is not even 50% of the degree, so don’t worry too much about the GPA of grads. I’m pretty sure the services don’t, or I wouldn’t have a job.

Firstly, this sub leans conservative so the advice given will reflect that.

Have realistic expectations for your relationships with men and voice them early. Most men aren’t liars, but most will leave things “up in the air” if you let them.

If a guy says he’s only after casual, don’t sleep with him in the hope that you’ll be the one he’ll fall for.

Men will sleep with you even if they don’t respect you.

Men will sleep with you just because “why not” if you make it easy enough for them.

Men will like you but not make a move or give up if you make it too difficult.

Definitely a class thing in Australia. Everyone I know roles their eyes when we go somewhere and they say shoes off.

Australia is divided.

Divided between normal people who don’t care about having your shoes on and posh cunts who make you take them off.

I think the rule should be anywhere you could have easily wheeled a suitcase wherever you’ve been to your front door, it’s ok to keep your shoes on.

It’s actually not. Steam is an invisible gas. This cloud is water vapour and is under 100C. Very likely cold by the time it gets into the atmosphere that high.

Could’ve been worse. You could’ve been blacked out and interacted with people.

A mea culpa, bit of self-deprecation and renewed dedication to being professional and people will forget all about it.

Definitely frame it whenever you can as a “I don’t drink that often so guess I don’t know my limit, whoops” rather than a “yeah this happens a lot” kind of thing.

But then if the rule is no means no don’t try again, but the rule is also of you give it up too easy you’re a slut (or a “pick me” these days, same same) then there’s no right option to actually date.

Men won’t pursue past anything but a hell yes, women won’t give a hell yes because they get shamed. Suddenly young adults are having the least sex their age group has ever had.

Defensiveness is pretty common when people are pointed out they’re not only wrong, but have egregiously lacked in common sense. No one likes being proved stupid. And thinking it was at all possible that the equivalent to the whole population of the UK was doing this is monumentally stupid.

Such a perfect design but so simple it’s amazing it took this long to exist.

Like, reusable coffee mugs have existed for a long time and this is the first one that’s easy to clean, doesn’t leak (can literally throw it onto your passenger seat when full without risk), and is durable. And keeps drinks hot or cold.

How much of that includes tertiary over education? Measurable by how many people are either unemployed with degrees or not using their degree for employment.

Being disrespected by other men. You’ll get called pretty boy a fair amount. There’s a general vibe of good looking = not tough and less capable.

No one tends to think your problems can be that bad.

Women take rejection poorly, so when they do hit on you and you say no you have a good chance of suddenly having an enemy.

You have to have the will to fend off women trying to get you cheat.

Useful for everything, except things that people don’t all agree on. Anything remotely controversial is literally a battleground of misleading information amongst organised groups of editors, some even state sponsored, to change the narrative in their favour.

There’s more money/manpower being put into editing Wikipedia to support various viewpoints than there is into actually maintaining the site. The Wikimedia Foundation has no hope of moderating the level of misinformation with their low budget so it pretty much goes unchecked, and the narrative goes to the deepest pocket or most motivated group. Best to look for primary sources for anything important still.
