That's because in many other circumstances they can't. Doctors are also taught to treat the patient, not the issue. If they find something e.g. in hospital but it doesn't cause you symptoms (yet), they will likely leave it be, because in terms of QoL calculus further testing, anxiety and stress from any treatment they would do would likely exceed the actual perceived (by you) benefit.
At least that's how I understand it. It's honestly a disconnect because I think majority of people view their body more like a car and their doctors like the auto mechanics, and it is their responsibility to not only repair it when it breaks, but to maintain it to prevent it from breaking in the first place and keep it 'within normal parameters' so to speak.
However there's a vastly bigger segment of the population - the elderly (>45) - for whom this is not the case, they tend to mistrust medicine, have very little basic scientific or medical knowledge and what they do have tends to be either misinformation or severely out of date, often they lack the capacity or willingness to even understand what is told to them, they simply don't accept that huffing arsenic at work is "probably not good" for them, because they've been doing it all their life.
They will never accept that a doctor isn't an evil agent of the new world order who wants to put a microchip in them to stop them from saying slurs or beating their wife/kid, but actually is just being nice and helpful.
Yeah I'm blocking them and everyone in the comments here too for being obnoxious and harassing the alleged mod. Your kind are not welcome here, go do your performative outrage over a simple word choice elsewhere, "bro".
Nah, that shit woulda never helped me and I wouldn't even know where to start and I never have, we had laptops open on lectures so I just wrote small programs about whatever concepts the lecturer talked about but to sit in the same place for 2 hours it was borderline impossible.
After entering the workforce it was just pure torture sitting in the office waiting to die 8 hours a day, I went through like a full character arc from arrogant to humble to desperate to hate at others to hate at self to finally worldly and gradually radicalized against the onslaught of alienation.
I came back for my masters in 2020 and it was fairly sweet all online.
Thankfully now many years later I WFH. Uni is far behind. Haven't handwritten anything in years, I'm almost curious to try it
That sounds like he's just not going to be well adjusted for the modern world where distractions will always be available. You don't get over a love for a drug by making it unavailable, you get over it by having it everywhere, yet refusing it.
I had the opposite experience, in person lectures drove me crazy as an unmedicated adhder, I'd be constantly chiming in and answering every question, my legs would be going wild under the table and I'd usually be just doing something else most of the time on the laptop. Online is much much easier to listen to and get invested in at your own time and pace because you can be eating or vaping while watching at 3AM or whatever and nobody gives a fuck
I always take notes, listening shmistening it's in one ear out the other, reading and writing helps me absorb information much easier, but I never did take notes when we were forced to use pen and paper, once we switched to laptops in high school, I could note down every word because typing is so much easier and faster.
Fucker got what he deserved, I watch it over and over and I feel absolutely nothing for him, no empathy, no connection, no "we're all made of the same stuff" thing, he is a threat, neutralized.
I would've in fact - been very pleasantly surprised if a leftist did this because it meant someone out there with a head on their shoulders getting off their ass to fight for what's right, and what's right is to subdue the threat of the political right, if the means of peaceful discussion, debate and correcting misinformation have failed us, then by any remaining means is fine by me.
His political thought is that me and mine should be eradicated - so forgive my thought that he should be.
As it stands, I feel that this infighting thinning out their ranks is the most uplifting news these days.
I did back in the day. Now everything is IP67 or whatever's the most common one. It's honestly a crapshoot, my Xperia Z3 died from just being in the shower room while I showered, nowhere near the water but vaguely steamy in there.
I accidentally flushed, yes - flushed my Pixel 1 XL down the toilet and it was fine (it swam up).
VR issues put me off and honestly Win10 20H2 was cancerous enough frankly, 1903/1703 was as much as I could tolerate the endless bugs, design issues (duplicate, but marginally different settings menus when you often need both to actually have all the settings), fundamental flaws, it's a house of cards that utterly collapses under the weight of ads and general enshittification.
You say Linux is complex but idk, it's pretty intuitive for basic use to setup and install, it's just customizable so people make it a hobby, and as it's fully open source, people who are into computers like to learn how it works, because unlike windows, they can do so with some certainty.
On Windows the sheer amount of software it takes to make the beast keep back is unreal, OldNewExplorer, ClassicShell/OpenShell/StartAllBack++ ($$$), RetroBar, WinAeroTweaker, Windhawk, SecureUxThemePatcher, DWMBlurGlass, Microsoft-Activation-Scripts/KMSLiteAuto, SystemInformer/ProcessHacker2, BootICE, HackBGRT etc etc.
The list goes on, with you having to subject yourself to GPO Editing to disable updates, and the horrors of Powershell syntax (yuck! Scripting languages shouldn't be a shell! Shell languages shouldn't have an object oriented tumor!) if you're a power user or a good friend to someone who isn't and you want to go in there and Get-AppxPackage | Select yada yada to uninstall the assorted Microsoft PUPs, Adware and other malware that comes pre-installed like Edge, Cortana and the new gippity Cortana (whatever it's called), "The Xbox app" whatever that means with its horrid overlay it puts over directx apps like some sort of necromanced GFWL etc.

So they don't bother.
