We just have to give up. Being smart is better than not being smart, and it doesn't matter if we invent new words a dozen more times, they'll just become insults.
Yup. Climate change is going to suck, but actual existential risk is way lower now. And before the 20th century people did the same end-is-nigh thing on supernatural grounds.
If you're thinking of the submarine, it wasn't a specialist, it was an admiral who just happened to be on the right boat and belayed the captain and political officer's order. One of the same guys that was on K-19, interestingly. There was also an armed nuke the French just kind of dropped on themselves by accident. Here's the list of known close calls on Wikipedia.
I started on lemmy.sdf.org because of the zero blocked/blocked by, and I stayed because it's a cool organisation and the instance community is really happening.
I use the browser frontend, but always over Tor Browser, which I guess is semi-weird.
I mean, it's not like they carry a sign. Some actual mental handicaps can sort of get through the day with some supports. So, maybe you're just not looking hard enough. If you're going IQ you should use <85 or something, too, since <100 is literally half of the population.
On top of that, it's really hard to tell between weird behavior because they're dumb, they're not really paying attention or they're neuroatypical/mentally ill. I have better stories about supposedly intelligent people missing obvious things. (I star in many)
Private health insurance doesn't get involved with doctors or hospital treatments at all where I live. It's more for various outpatient goods, and dentists/eye doctors if you're too rich to qualify for the federal program.
Very long time as in possibly forever. They just get a bit less nutritious if it's been many years.
Where I live it turns out they're even cheaper if you go to a dollar store instead of a grocery store, and some items are just as good. If anyone wants pantry recipes, I have a bunch by now.
Yep, although it'd be pretty surprising if it went like this. OP is straight up worried they're being bad to others, and willing to invite embarrassment by announcing it. (Unless they never really meant it)
Like, amateur over-the-internet diagnosis is worthless, but BPD would fit the almost no information we have better.
Lemmy is pretty Western, you might not get great answers here. Or even ones that make basic sense where you are. In my original reply I talked about staying warm, which might not be a problem for you. On the other hand, vehicles are much too expensive to consider as a housing option anywhere developing.
Some stuff is universal, like how debt works if that's a factor.
This needs more details. If you have significant assets and/or debts, it's a legal question about bankruptcies in your jurisdiction.
If you're just watching your bank account slowly tick down it's a very different question. And even there, the advice varies quite a bit by what your current lifestyle is. At one end it might be "stop going out on the town every night and you'll be fine", at the other we're talking about how to stay warm and clean-ish on the streets once you lose your trailer.
And then there's the possibility it's something directly fixable, too, like you just have a ton of credit card debt you could refinance.
Because you probably won't get a multi-million-dollar cancer, but might. Or, looked at another way, someone will get cancer, and with insurance everyone is just a little less well off, instead of a few people being absolutely ruined.
I know little about American healthcare, but that's how insurance in general works. (From what I've heard, there's also a premium that just goes to anticompetitive bullshit in that specific case)
It's been gosh-dang tried before, right? And it's probably going to stick about as well this time.
