@Anya101476 @EndTribalism @tlrobins I think it's due to a LOT of factors and way more complicated than 280 characters can get into. Age, background, not all meds work for all people, other meds/health issues, etc.

@StaceyAFowler @EndTribalism @tlrobins If they are life saving, why have suicide rates not dropped with their increased usage?

RFK Jr. gets emotional sharing a story about a family member’s struggle coming off SSRIs. He says it is harder than getting off heroin. “I happen to be an actual expert on this because I was addicted to heroin for 14 years.” “I went through cold turkey withdrawal probably over 100 times.” “After 72 hours, it’s over.” “But I’ve watched people come off of SSRIs, and it is not even comparable.” “I watched a family member get off of them after a couple of years on them, and she was suicidal literally every day.” “She woke up every morning and said, ‘I don't want to live.’” “And she said, ‘The only reason I'm staying alive is for you guys.’” “That's heartbreaking to hear from a family member.” “And I've heard that from hundreds and hundreds of people, the same story again and again.”

@NursePatsy16801 @EndTribalism @tlrobins Seriously surprised at an RN using AI as the data point. It varies greatly by med, length of use, etc. Even if it were ONLY 15%, shouldn't that still be looked into? Look into why and how we can help them? Esp for those with LONG term effects?

@StaceyAFowler @EndTribalism @tlrobins Tell that to Ai.

@NursePatsy16801 @EndTribalism @tlrobins I believe SSRIs are lifesaving, but that doesn't negate that going off of them can be hell.

@EndTribalism @tlrobins RFK gets increasingly more stupid by the day. 800 million global people have taken SSRIs and didn’t have the response of his one hypochondriac relative. 15% of people who quickly withdraw from SSRIs will have a mild headache for a few days.

@JohnSmithu0fg @TAmTrib There is already a work requirement.

@TAmTrib The terminally unemployed should be conscripted into labor camps and made to be productive. Replace the roads, clean trash, repaint stuff idk they can do something. FDR did it with some good results.

Lots of debate over whether SNAP should cover this or that We should just get rid of it Why should I spend my time working so that the urban rabble can buy a chicken with my tax dollars? Some soup kitchens can give out rice and government cheese so that no one starves, but we shouldn't be funding any of this stuff

@WhiteBabyFac I'd love to see that data. FL averages a little under $13k per student and you're saying $10k goes to teachers... yet that's 25ish students:teacher. Maybe admin... but not teachers.

In Florida, homeschooling parents receive about $10,000 per homeschooled child each year. For public school students in Florida, about $10,000 of the annual cost per student goes towards teacher and staff salaries and benefits. Teachers and staff members get to spend their earnings on whatever they want, but homeschooling parents are required to spend all of their $10,000 per child on educational expenses like instructional materials, tutoring, classes, testing, books, etc. If you're a parent in Florida who homeschools 4 children instead of working a full time job, why shouldn't you be able to spend that $40,000 on anything your family needs - just like a public school teacher who earns $40,000 per year that they can spend however they like? This policy sounds like it's leveling the playing field but it's really still requiring homeschoolers to accept a much lower standard of living than families involved the public schooling system.

@Nate_E_Nate @TheLaurenChen The cost of aluminum has been sharply increasing since 2016. 2-liters have increased by about 60% and 12-packs of cans have increased by about 90% since 2020.

The same thing happened with pop. Pop went from about $3-$4 per 12pk to like $10-$12. They don't have POS breakdowns of sales since 2016 because it's a fucking racket. In 2016, almost 10% of all SNAP money was "Sweetened Beverages" which doesn't count the "Juice" category. fns-prod.azureedge.us/sites/default/…

SNAP benefits will now be eligible to purchase rotisserie chickens at grocery stores. So if in a few months you're wondering why rotisserie chickens got more expensive... That's why.

@DisaffectedPod You use Melania Trump as an example of putting it up, but she wears it down just as often, if not more so.

Women of a certain age: One of the biggest mistake you make is thinking that hairstyles for younger women flatter you. They don't. They really, really don't. They look ridiculous, try-hard, and they make you appear insecure and silly. If you're a lady of 50 or over, you just can't get away with it. I don't care what your middle aged girlfriends tell you-they're lying. All of you are prone to falling into trends and gassing each other up with lies. I'm a gay man, and I'll tell you the truth. These au courant styles look terrible on you. Especially the "messy" ones. You are wasting the beauty you do have as an older woman. Your best bets? -Shoulder length pageboy (many variations, parted on the side -Similar, but with a soft wave roller set. Groomed. Think updated 1950s And if you have long hair, for god's sake, put it UP. Long flowing hair is for younger women. It's always been a sign of the maiden, not the matriarch. Wear it in a twist. Put it in a tasteful chignon at the nape (see M. Trump). Something like that. Older women who wear these styles command respect, admiration, and the room. -Uncle Josh

@WallStreetApes Blindness is a spectrum. Not only that, but you have zero clue how she's using that phone.

A blind woman is seen walking with a mobility cane She seems to be using it to guide herself, but at the same time she also seems to be looking at and using her phone She could be using the phone in accessibility mode, or she could be in benefits and committing fraud

@larayapmaaq Size of baby, muscular structure of the abdomen, position of baby, fluid amount, etc.

Çok acil bir sorum var. Neden hamile kadınların bazılarının karnı çok büyük oluyorken bazılarının küçücük kalıyor? Bebek küçük olduğu için mi?

@RealDianeYap Failure to thrive affects people who have a BMI of 10 up to those with a BMI of 40+. Lack of nutrients causes multiple issues.

It's hard for me to have any pity for someone who is "food insecure" but weighs more than me. If you can go 283 days without eating and still look like a normal person, you're not food insecure. You've got plenty of stored calories.

@Sassafrass_84 I can check on my dog.

I'm curious about something. Why do people put cameras inside their home? Other than babysitting. Which i think it's a great idea to have coverage. But why do others who dont have small kids do it? I just watched these videos of cameras inside their homes, and there is stuff that I do not want to see or can be explained. Doesn't this ever trip people out? Have you ever had an "experience" in your home?

@GaliBillyyoung Those are seizures? I would have guessed EPS, and unfortunately there are quite a few meds that can do that. Most are antipsychotics.

His wife recorded him while he was having seizures after taking a newly prescribed medication. Can you guess the medication and the name of this reaction? I’ll write about it later.

@ronsterd89 Good lord. Only one small area is "messy" and it would take less than 10 minutes to clean it. There's also a thermometer there so likely someone is sick.

what do you call a women/ man who live in these condition?

@BlizzardArmsLLC @financedystop Eagle is considerably north of Tok. True that it's somewhat better than being completely off the road system, but it's still a vastly different life than living outside. Still affects the price of cheese. Even if you take 3 days to drive to get it, that's factored.

@StaceyAFowler @financedystop Tok is 3 hours from Fairbanks though. I'm just saying thats nothing like Anvik or something that's off the road system completely

@BlizzardArmsLLC @financedystop Yes... but no. It's a 12 hour drive to ANC. The highway to Eagle is actually closed for part of the year as well.

Because I'm always skeptical I checked. She's in Eagle Alaska which is on the road system so she CAN drive to Costco like tens of thousands of other people on the road system do regularly. She's 158 miles away from the busiest part of the Alaskan highway where thousands of trucks drive by with all the goods that go farther up to Fairbanks a 100,000 person area

@BrathBonespurs @financedystop Incentive to move there? Nope. An extra $1000 a year does not make up for the cost difference. Fuel, utilities, cost of every day goods... it's all so much more expensive. Hell, they even get you on internet by capping it.

@financedystop People who work in Alaska earn higher than average wages due to the difficult climate, terrain & labor shortage present there. They also get annual dividend payments from oil royalties. It balances out, for the most part. 🤑

@envidreamz My husband had his first stroke in May 2019. Sooooo many times people ask if it was due to the vaccine. MAY 2019.

The nurse practitioner flipped through my health history with practiced boredom as I sat in the OBGYN exam room this morning. Then she paused. “Plavix,” she said, her voice flat. “Why are you on that?” I told her the truth. “I had a heart procedure in February. They said I have to stay on blood thinners for 6 months.” She looked up. Really looked. A woman my age, healthy enough on paper, sitting vulnerable in the stirrups of routine care. Her eyebrows lifted slowly. “What happened to your heart?” I started the story the way I always do. “Since 2020, when I was both pregnant and had Covid, it worsened a congenital PFO and inflamed my heart and then…” She cut me off mid sentence, leaning forward, eyes bright and hungry. “Was this after you took the Covid vaccine?” I sat there stunned, watching her morph into something I had seen too many times now. No curiosity nor concern for my wellbeing. Her expression turned colder, almost mechanical. Rehearsed. As if the words were not her own but lines uploaded from an external source, into a synchronized command that had overwritten her natural thoughts. Her eyes gleamed with a programmed certainty that made my stomach turn. I reminded her, voice shaking with anger, that in 2020 there was no vaccine yet. None. I had been pregnant and fighting Covid when the world was still burning without a shot in sight. She blinked once. Her eyes reset to that flat, professional dullness, and she moved on to the next question as if I had never spoken. As if my heart damage had vanished the moment the word “vaccine” left her lips. That was when the real horror settled in. This lie lives and breathes among us all, waiting in every waiting room, hiding behind every clipboard, and wearing every white coat in every specialty. It is not just the internet or late night comment sections where strangers swear the virus was harmless and the shot was the monster. They have all swallowed the same story. The widespread devastation we see now, none of it belongs to the virus that tore through us in 2020. All of it belongs to the needle. The narrative is so complete, airtight, and so perfectly woven that even the people sworn to follow evidence have rewritten history inside their own minds. They look at me, a living witness to what Covid did to a pregnant body, and their eyes glaze over with the same hollow certainty: Covid is innocent. The shot is guilty. I left the clinic this morning with my prescription in hand and a chill that has not left my bones. The scariest part is not the damage inside my chest. It is the damage inside theirs. The certainty that the truth died in 2020 and something else replaced it. Something that smiles across the exam table, asks the same loaded question, and erases you the moment you speak the wrong answer. We are not just patients anymore. We are apparitions drifting through a medical system that has decided our suffering belongs to a different monster entirely. And every time another doctor looks at me with those wide, certain eyes, I realize the horror is not over. It is only just beginning.

@Docfrosh Scrubs are amazing due to the pockets to hold supplies. White is not great since we are constantly near body fluids.

If we are being honest scrubs are meant for people in the theatre and doing surgeries, the surgeons If I ever become a CMD of any teaching hospital, this is one of the peripheral things I will fix Nurses will go back to their white gown and their cap(if someone dresses like this there is no way you will mistake them for a pilot or an engineer or a doctor) Medlab scientist(lab coat) Ward coat and cooperate for other clinicians with their name and title boldly written on it. Scrubs for the surgeons In a world where it’s difficult to identify healthcare workers we could make things easier You as an Optometrist now enh what are you wearing scrub for..? If we are being honest, we are the ones complicating these things for ourselves

@Bossy_Leah Breasts are more expensive. I've been shocked at the comments on this topic today and I realize... y'all are just against SNAP in general. Yall wanted them to eat cheaply. From a $5 chicken I usually get two meals!

No it’s not. It enforces laziness and raises prices. Cooking four chicken breasts in the oven takes 20 minutes. Jesus.

@andeholmes @Michael04183490 @Bossy_Leah LOL, this was exactly my thought after reading the original comment.

@Michael04183490 @Bossy_Leah “Chemicals”! Like, you know, sodium chloride! This just isn’t a fight worth fighting. Rotisserie chicken is a great protein source and far healthier than the vast majority of raw or prepared foods they could buy.
