I believe 211 works everywhere in the US. Call them (if not call your county’s health and human services). They have access to all the health and human services for your county, and can direct you to all the people that can help you. IMO it’s much better than blindly calling around to different departments/services yourself. The ones here in San Diego are really helpful, and can tell you about things you don’t even know are possible.
Probably depends on your state. CA (and IIRC all the west coast states plus some others) has euthanasia/assisted suicide options/laws in place.
No. Gives a bit more breathing room, so one thing probably won’t destroy me, but not enough to actually do anything with.
I’m pretty sure removing the “during pregnancy” part of the title would make it FAR more accurate.
Women historically receive less/worse treatment than men.
We wait an average of 65 minutes before receiving an analgesic for acute abdominal pain in the ER in the United States, while men wait only 49 minutes. Source
Also from the same article
women in pain are much more likely than men to receive prescriptions for sedatives, rather than pain medication, for their ailments.
I have personally experienced both, and have had my husband speak for me, after being dismissed, and got a wildly different response.
Studies show that women’s perceptions of gender bias are correct. Compared with male patients, women who present with the same condition may not receive the same evidence-based care. In several key areas, such as cardiac care and pain management, women may get different treatment, leading to poorer outcomes source
a study this month found that women are less likely than men to get CPR from a bystander, and are more likely to die.
The research, funded by the American Heart Association and the National Institutes of Health, found that only 39% of women who have a cardiac arrest in a public place were given CPR, versus 45% of men. Men were 23% more likely to survive source
I could go on and on about it, but women universally receive worse medical care.
Don’t forget the tax exemption status.
About a year ago I decided to remove my name from my email signature. It’s mind boggling how different email replies/inquiries are now. People just assume I’m a man because making cars go fast = men things. When they finally meet me, or talk to me on the phone, there’s an instant demeanor change. Some not bad, others hostile.
Not to diminish anything enlisted woman have gone through, but this is by no means unique to military service. I am a women, who works in a very male dominated field, and the hostility, belittling, sexism, etc I have to endure, that my male counterparts don’t is massive.
Grew up in San Diego, which is surrounded by military bases (mostly marine corp and navy). This is absolutely the truth. There is also the whole never experiencing anything outside their bubble factor too. I’ve met a few pretty intelligent enlisted “grunts” who just never saw anything but their one stop sign town, that has NO diversity, and some really assbackwards ideas.
How very Nissan of them. For a company that’s been building cars for about half a century, you’d think they’d have figured out the simple shit by now.
Wake up, bathroom things, put on running clothes, put on running shoes, get rest of running gear, and then go for a run. Come home shower, drink my green drink, then work.
I have plenty of business credit cards. They are usually far more lenient than the consumer ones. Like I said, I’d change whoever that’s through too. 1 day is absolutely ridiculously unrealistic. What happens when you pay for a special order, or pay for something online and then it just never arrives? You’re screwed? Terrible policy for the consumer/business.
Not sure what crazy bank you deal with, but I’ve never heard of a 30 day rule, let alone a 1 day one. Maybe look at replacing that while you’re at it. Hell, I’ve filed chargeback with like amex and or wells after multiple months.
Contact them one last time, and try to get them to refund the extra day, and personally, I’d be going for the original rental fee as well (everything you paid to them) for the headache of the whole deal. It’s their truck and they are required to maintain it/inspect it BEFORE the customer takes it.
If they refuse to meet you where you are ok with it all, then do a chargeback with your bank. Give the bank every single detail you can, including EVERYTHING you listed here, and any other info you can remember/have. Chargebacks almost always go in the customers favor. I personally would have been LIVID if I was forced to sleep in a moving truck in a isolated, unsafe rest area (I’m a woman though, so these things can be scary for me).
Also, not to pile insult to injury, but next time, make sure to go back inside, and make them give you a whole new truck, to avoid anything like this in the future.
Full disclosure, I have no idea what I’m talking about.
I don’t know if it would have been a larger scale exchange, but I think that it would have affected the US population more, as it may have been on US soil.
Had USA not sort of kinda of forced japan’s hand, with all the restrictions/resource cutoff, it’s possible none of it would have happened at all. Japan was in no way innocent, but USA had a hand in it happening the way it did, and then some.
I REALLY wish FODMAP worked for me. I hear everyone raving about it, but may of the “safe” foods aren’t safe for me, even in their tiny amounts, and non safe foods are fine. sigh
Yes, but I’m sure your gastroenterologist told you that carbonated drinks can exacerbate IBS issues, so probably not a good choice.
Unfortunately, no. There are a handful of emails, that no matter what I do, always go to the spam folder. I was told making them VIP would keep them out of the spam folder, but I can say with certainty that’s not true.
Absolutely. Ask Apple. Even the “VIP” all end up in the spam folder all the time too, and there’s no way to tell it “this isn’t spam”.
@dekema Understood, but what I think people are trying to say is that TikTok isn’t what you are looking for. It’s trash content to keep people scrolling. Arguably all social media is that, but TikTok also has the “bonus” of being enough chinese owned that it’s also a concerning data collection tool.
There may be a handful of creators on there, but think just about every link from tiktok you see. Personally, every time I see anything from there it’s some dumb dance, some dumb car trend, or a new “challenge”, or someone rambling about something they did/someone they encountered in public.
Unfortunately, if you want to make money, you need to whore yourself out on some form of social, and it’s usually mindless useless content. And because you need to post constantly, to keep the algorithms happy, the content suffers. TikTok, Twitter, and Facebook being the worst currently, imo.
Baking. Measuring isn’t fun. I’d rather wing it.
