So the article says they’ve done ten successful launches.

What does that actually mean? It’s real short on details.

They’ve successfully put ten payloads in orbit? Or what?

And how, precisely, am I supposed to tell random fucking jackoffs like in the story?

None of you fucks even know what a DNR is, means, what it looks like, and not a single one of you cunts could be expected to uphold it even if you were told.

You don’t get a special bracelet. This isn’t the ‘life alert’ infomercial. Tattoos mean absolutely nothing to medical professionals.

You literally have to have a DNR on file, active, in your county of residence, and they have to look it up. Which will not happen until you’re already admitted.

And if you get sent to a hospital in a different county? Because you’re visiting family or something? You’re fucked. You’re on a machine, keeping you alive. As long as your shitty relatives feel like it.

I have no desire to die incoherent in a hospital with no concept of what’s going on other than everything is uncomfortable. And with the united state’s version of healthcare, I will have to make sure I die somewhere else.

When I die, it isn’t fucking about you

National currencies ARE fiat currencies.

Like the Chinese have been fixing the value of their currency to the dollar, and the federal reserve does exactly that thing where they inflate it at will. Or keep it at zero, and the rest of the corporations inflate it nowadays. Whichever.

Either way, it’s a scam. And I’m not saying the gold standard was a great idea either. It worked at the time, i guess? I don’t know, I wasn’t there. This fiat currency situation seems possibly workable, but I haven’t seen it doing so. At least not for anyone who isn’t already in the club.

The value of money is all made up bullshit anyway, can we at least get some healthcare out of it? Maybe some roofs? Food?

I like my friends not starving or freezing to death.

There was one royal kid-a girl- who learned spanish.

It made headlines.

I assume her accent is so bad as to be largely unintelligible to most spanish speaking folks.

They have translators.

Border kids learn both on their own or they starve

Eh, I’ll say it.

National currencies are a scam. No pyramid needes

I have recently encountered a fellow who used ‘die’ as the plural

Hey what flavour is that paste?

Well for starters, kids aren’t going to whinge about it- they’re just going to use it, generally correctly for their setting.

Headlines when a royal family kid is bilingual, every day regular-ass survival when a poor border town kid does it, unprompted.

I mean, the royal kids totally would of got it on their own, right?

Stay the fuck away from me, and anyone you see having a medical emergency

How many comorbidities do you have

An honest, actual recovery with CPR is less than half of that 3% ‘success’ rate that gets bandied about. A true, ‘this person actually healed up and had a life afterwards’ recovery is less than half a percent.

It’s freak accidents that happen to young people. Like 45 or younger.

Most people getting CPR are medically fragile already-hence the fucking heart stoppage-and foisting a chestful of broken ribs on top of whatever chronic ailments they already have does nothing but extend their suffering.

Man, fuck all the heroes in this thread.

I’d 100% fuck with some neighbor asshole who resuscitated me into a life with a whole rack of broken ribs on top of all the other problems
