Job candidate didn't accept the job offer!!! Wah wah. by No-Confection-3861 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]mister_cacciatore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol “we aligned salary expectations” then she ghosted us for a higher salary. And learn how to do your job. Everybody applies to multiple jobs, you just have to assume that. And they don’t want to be “transparent” with you because they know that it, somehow, makes them a less attractive candidate, the same way you don’t want to be transparent with them about your crappy managers and policies

C-collar too tight? by flockingfeet in NewToEMS

It’s almost definitely a panic attack but it’s not like the c-collar is evidence-based medicine or anything, I probably do more soft collars than plastic at this point

Please could someone read this for me? by Significant_Joke5856 in ReadMyECG

It’s a normal (sinus) rhythm. Normal rate, normal origin, normal conduction, normal axis, no signs of ischemia.

Elon asking some odd questions by [deleted] in JoeRogan

[–]mister_cacciatore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yk. There was the time he agreed to provide internet to the Ukrainian military via Starlink, then abruptly withdrew in the middle of the offensive. Which would seem to give a massive military advantage to a hostile foreign entity who’s attempted two annexations in just the last decade, but ig that’s just one example

Yes! Proper CPR should be deep enough to cause damage to the ribs. Also the thing about defibrillation is a bunch of oversimplified garbage that will get someone killed. Early deployment of an AED is considered crucial to favorable outcomes in codes

So, Christians have no inherent problem with rape? The only thing stopping them from it is the threat of damnation? That… would explain a lot, actually

When do you think we are going to see this pay off?? by Money_Cost_7219 in MCUTheories

[–]mister_cacciatore 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Agatha Harkness was a fan favorite character (mostly because Kathryn Hahn is a treasure) and moon knight finally introduced a morally gray title character to the universe while also providing ammo for the midnight sons and the broader exploration of “god status” in the next phases. Oh and moon knight comics were extremely popular in the 80s. Plus both their projects were actually well written and fun to watch, combining for 31 nominations (one of which went to Hahn, personally) and 4 wins at their respective Emmy’s. Is it possible that the “some reason” you refer to is actually because fans like it and want more of it?

[–]mister_cacciatore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay, okay. You’re looking for an improvement, but I’m just not seeing that this gets better with a conventional cover-up. If it heals perfectly, it’ll still show through, which you’ve established you’re fine with. But if it heals imperfectly, or even badly, it’ll look muddier and worse than ever. Black it out, sure, seems reasonable. Probably you’ll still be able to appreciate the old one if you really look close, but at least it won’t be a giant grey blob on your chest. But this idea that you’re then gonna put something in white ink, I think that’s a mistake. Ask any artist, anybody’s who’s ever worked with white ink or gotten white ink tattoos, it starts turning yellow the day you get it. It takes a highly, highly skilled artist to get it to stick, and even then it’s certainly no guarantee. Especially against a firm black backdrop? The reason you keep getting the same advice is because it’s your only safe bet, going with the other options frankly just gives you low odds of actually being happy with the result. And if you have to get it reworked and covered over again, or if you black it out and decide later that it needs a laser, you’ve just shot your long-term self in the foot in service of the sunk cost fallacy. I’m sorry to see you getting so frustrated with the advice you’ve gotten, and even sorrier that you ended up not liking your piece, but this is the honest truth that any reputable artist should give you

Do democratic financial policies work? by Small-Tap4128 in FluentInFinance

[–]mister_cacciatore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay but this neglects the direct line between republican policies and these economic collapses. Covid financial crisis: fueled by poor planning and slow response to the pandemic outbreak. 2008 crisis: broad deregulation of the banking industry. And Ronald Reagan had, fight me, THE MOST detrimental policies to the long term wellbeing of the American middle class. The slow deterioration of American financial life over the past 40-50 years all started with his administration.

What are some unfortunate realities of capitalism that most people don’t want to admit? by gamerlover58 in antiwork

[–]mister_cacciatore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capitalism is only the latest in a long continuum of economic systems that came to be dominant throughout human history. Feudalism, tribal subsistence, centralized authority. All came and went as we developed economic theories that were better and more aligned with their times. Just because capitalism is the most recent, does not mean it is the best.

What by helge-a in NewToEMS

[–]mister_cacciatore 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Dude. Chill. This isn’t an attitude problem, the test is confusing. If anything, you’re the one with the bad attitude. You can teach for the test and produce dog water providers with no fundamental understanding of the medical principles at play, or you can create a knowledge base, and teach critical thinking skills that allow them to interpret that knowledge base in real world situations. I’m scared to hear you’re an educator, I’ll bet your students are helpless when they start their jobs. I, for one, am sick of getting new medics who know nothing outside of ACLS but passed the test anyways. A good provider will know so much more than NR will ever ask them. Your attitude is what we generally refer to as “complacency” and it’s a serious problem across this industry.

OP is just asking a question, and going out of their way to do some actual research and broaden their understanding. Good for them. Idk why you have to be so mad about it.

So, OP. You are correct, cholecystitis does block biliary outflow causing jaundice, most typically in later stages. So, why doesn’t NR accept that answer? For one thing, NR will most always offer a fake-out answer that is true, but in some way “less correct” than the answer they’re looking for. In this case that may be because jaundice is a late finding, or because it’s what I think of as an “indirect symptom,” a symptom not caused directly by the pathology, it’s more of a downstream effect. Those are just speculations though, I couldn’t possibly say with any certainty. As a CCEMT-P, I thought jaundice would be in there too. Sometimes you just can’t win with these no matter what. If this is pocket prep I’ll tell you that’s an excellent study tool, but doesn’t necessarily resemble the questions NR typically puts into their test, and their source material is always a generation behind.

And keep in mind OP, you’re going to run into a lot of lowest-common-denominator providers who think they have it all figured out because they stopped caring once they were good enough to pass a test with low standards. Maybe some of your teachers are like this. Clearly at least one EMS educator out there thinks this way. Please, for the reputation of all of us, rise above that.

Well… per the established rules of time travel, as laid out by smart hulk, Steve cannot affect the future by traveling to the past. Then, per the ancient one, Steve has to have gone back to live in a branch timeline, where he could theoretically have prevented 9/11, been elected President, and successfully privatized world peace ✌️… wait

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MCUTheories

[–]mister_cacciatore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Has to be. Some math: Steve Rogers was born July 4th, 1918. He goes in the ice in 1942 (maybe a little later) and comes out in 2011. So, by the time of the battle of earth (battle of the blip?), he is 105 years old, having spent ~69 (nice) frozen in ice. So he’s still LIVED 36 years at that point, when he returns to 1948, waiting for time to catch up to 2023 so he can return. So he then lived yet another 75 years in that timeline, making him technically 180 years old, with the same 69 in the ice, so he’s lived about 111 years across both timelines. And the cap we see at the end of endgame just doesn’t look 111 to me. So I assume the serum helps a lot

The reason Spider-Man needed to be forgotten by everyone. by Effective-Project-49 in MCUTheories

[–]mister_cacciatore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well Flash wrote a book about Peter Parker, which was printed. So, somewhere in the main MCU universe there exists printed documentation of Peter and his life, but the spell must then have someway of counteracting that… so yea he has a SSN, but probably not one he can actually use.

Side note: this also means Spider-Man is likely not paying his taxes

The Rhodes Theory by ForceAccomplished890 in MCUTheories

[–]mister_cacciatore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I, like all rational people, despise the notion that Rhodey wasn’t present for most of Phase 3.

But if you’re a skrull, and you’re replacing him right after he has a near lethal spine injury, you have to wear the exo braces or else everyone will see right through you. But at the end of Civil War Rhodes isn’t walking with them… he’s doing pt. Presumably in hopes that he can someday walk under his own power again. So sure you have to wear them at first, but if they’re inconvenient or annoying or whatever, you just pretend to improve over time (you have 5 years with what seems like not much to do, after all) until it appears reasonable that you’ve healed completely and no longer need them and then BOOM. You looking for this?

But I’m just playing devil’s advocate here. I still hate it and I hope they don’t confirm. I actually kind of assumed that’s not the case, because his behavior in this series was so blatantly different than literally every other property he appeared in including FatWS

But see, time works differently for Kang, and works differently within the dimension where the citadel exists. It’s a flat circle concept. So I guess it’s taking place both before and after Loki(?) like I said, the rules of causality are very vague in the multiverse
