HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE Let’s say it’s 6.15pm and you’re going home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself..!! NOW HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE… Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can perhaps buy precious time to get themselves to a phone and dial 911.

 We should all know this

Glad to share

As someone who has been revived: THIS.

I’ve had to learn a couple different techniques to combat this due to my heart condition. Being revived is NOT fun guys, would not recommend, and everyone should know how to help themselves.

Computers are very simple you see we take the hearts of dead stars and we flatten them into crystal chips and then we etch tiny pathways using concentrated light into the dead star crystal chips and if we etch the pathways just so we can trick the crystals into doing our thinking for us hope this clears things up.

How does it feel to be the most Galaxy Brained person in this entire thread

Well that certainly belongs on the post

why would this distress you friend the dead star crystal chips are just singing to each other with invisible ripples in the fabric of reality itself perfectly normal stuff

men in black eyeliner and nail polish is too played out. wear glitter lip plumping gloss and pumps

Unironically tho I would wear MIB eyeliner

WAIT NO SORRY I GET IT NOW

The Next Generation Delivery Vehicle that the USPS ordered is legit the most fucked up thing you'll ever see in your life.

Whoever did this should be hurt

NO YOU ARE ALL WRONG THIS IS INCREDIBLE

You're telling me the mail service is handing you this highly accessible Akira Toriyama-esque piece of gold and you're spitting in their faces?!?!

Not only that, they have more cargo space for mail, have a larger front front windshield so they'll be able to see better as they drive, and they're electric!

Plus, you know how old the previous trucks were? Half of em didn't have A/C.

I'm glad they're investing in the postal service, especially considering they've been trying to nerf it for years now and pushing us to use private delivery companies that are worse and for-profit.

In fact I want MORE cars that look like this! I hope every car in the future looks like this!

Why hate on this lil guy when Tesla is right there to hate on? My poor lil guy ;(

I SAW THIS AND SCRUMPT THE HAPPIEST SCREAM

okay so like, i need you all to understand something:

THIS.

THIS IS WHAT ACCEPTANCE OF DIFFERENCE LOOKS LIKE.

IT LOOKS LIKE A FUCKING DINGUS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, BECAUSE IT IS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT FAUX-FLASHY APPEARANCES AND CRASS DISREGARD.

So the whole point, as the above person said, is that the brief was "we need something that EVERYONE, EVERYONE in our fleet can drive and use safely. We need something that can absolutely never be unwelcoming, because it is there to Do A Job and so are our employees. They are human beings, not biscuits: we do not shape and bake them to scale, we do not hire based on appearance. We hire EVERYONE. So we need to serve EVERYONE."

This is a vehicle that can be driven by almost anyone who has a legal driver's licence and at least two (2) functional arms and one (1) functional leg. They don't have to be a specific height, they don't have to be a specific thinness, they don't have to be a specific mobility level: provided you are legally able to drive a 2009 Kia Cerato, then you can drive this thing safely. Hell, even if you CAN'T drive one because you're too tall to do that comfortably? You can drive this. The only reason they didn't make it compatible with people under the 5th female or over the 95th male percentile is because, legally, those people literally AREN'T ALLOWED to drive all cars, due to basic safey concerns. They may need special cars or modified cabins - I have a friend who is under the 3rd female percentile (he's male) and he needs a specially-modified car cabin because he's legally considered unable to drive an unmodified car. So the USPS literally CAN'T design a vehicle for them, it's actually against the law. They did EVERYTHING they could.

They also cannot realistically make something that would be both fully accessible to two-armed folks AND one-armed folks because the cabin modifications made for one-armed folks are actually individualised per the customer's specifications. The thing is that most people who only have one working hand are, statistically speaking, more likely than not to lose their dominant hand (per a 1995 research paper conducted in the USA, ~51% of righties who lose one will lose their right hand, and a whopping 70% of lefties who lose one will lose their left hand). This actually makes sense: you're more likely to be doing something risky with your dominant hand, so that's the one that's more likely to get injured. If the reason for amputation or loss of function was that it was damaged in an accident, then it's skewed towards damaging your dominant hand.

What this means, though, is that for people who suffered an amputating injury of the hand (i.e. they lost the hand, rather than a finger or multiple fingers), they are statistically more likely than not to be less dextrous, less fluid, and more uncertain with that hand than would be optimal. Yes, handedness changes over time after an injury, but it's never EASIER than it would be if you'd never had to change handedness. That's ignoring that many people with "one working hand" do not have full mobility in that hand, either: for example, if you lost a hand during birth due to loss of oxygen to the limb, that is quite likely to have also caused problems for your "good" hand. So, cabin modifications for mono-handed people such as lever gear-changers, relocated or modified hand-brakes, and modified turn signals are generally optimised for an individual customer's specifications, and can't be transferred. Their driver's licence will be restricted to only using THEIR car.

Basically,

The USPS literally made The Car. This isn't just a car, oh no no. This is THE Car. This is the one, universal vehicle, the car that is closest to True Accessibility Nirvana. Barring people who literally aren't ALLOWED to drive for USPS, ANYONE can drive this.

It's amazing. I love it <3

An episode of Gravity Falls where Grunkle Stan finds out what Pride Month is and immediately tries to capitalize on it by making cheap snow globes and magnets.

While he promotes his stuff someone yells: Hey Stan! say "Trans rights are human rights?", and he responds like "Well, aren't they? are trans people aliens now?"

the Mystery Shack inadvertently becomes a known safe spot for queer ppl, and when Wendy offhandly mentions this to Stan, he very advertently adds a new attraction next to the shack: Drag Racing - Watch and bet on local drag queens and kings competing in actual drag races!

(it's very illegal and gets shut down in a month)

THE TAGS!! from @starlight-storytime :D

#but is then immediately reopened except using go karts to race instead of real cars #decorating your kart to match your outfit is half the fun #stan is absolutely enamored by how popular the slogan "be gay do crime' is #mostly bc all the merchandise with that slogan is selling well but also bc he has a clientele of ppl who appreciate a good law breaking #mabel is 'chief of glitter design' or smth and helps decorate things #while dipper is doing his best to keep the betting system legal #it's a family bonding experience

I vote we stop calling it inflation at all. Seize the language. It's price gouging, not inflation. Inflation is a nebulous concept that invokes feeling of being too complex for the layman, a struggle as old as economy itself against a beast no one has ever truly slain.

Price gouging is the truth of it. And it makes it very clear who is to blame, and what must be done to end it.

Can confirm this works wonders. Australia is in a cost of living crisis rn and the two major supermarkets are a big part of it, as they pretty much have a duopoly on not just the grocery shopping market, but a bunch of others considered to be essential (things like fuel). They are trying to blame their price rises on inflation, but the media recently started reporting it as price gouging (which it is), and it got the average person pretty worked up, better than blaming inflation did.

It's price gouging, not inflation.

#and it's punitive #one of the reasons they fired this up was because people were TALKING about raising the minimum wage #and the sudden jump in prices let them say “see? we told you this would happen if you raised wages!” #even though wages only got raised in a couple of places

a correction on the last screenshot: the quote was in reference to him being shown a CGI, zombie-like monster that moved in a way that reminded him of his disabled friend:

a more relevant quote in direct reference to AI taking over animators' and artists' work would be him saying "I feel like we are nearing to the end of the times. We humans are losing faith in ourselves."

When I was a teenager and still on Neopets I was part of a pretty big Star Trek guild and eventually became part of its council, with the solemn duty of creating weekly polls. Well one day I created the poll "Which would win in a fight? Borg Cube or Death Star?". Naturally, since this was a Star Trek guild, the answer was overwhelmingly "Borg Cube", but someone did have the rationality to point out we were biased.

So I look up a pretty prominent Star Wars guild and message one of their council and ask them to poll the same question and get back to me in a week. They do, and naturally the fuckin geeks said "Death Star".

So then I look up a Stargate guild and messaged the lead council member, saying the same thing, and they get back to me almost immediately saying that the Death Star would immediately one-shot a Borg Cube but they would never be able to do it again to another Cube. And I took that wisdom back to my guild and we were mollified, and for one moment the Nerd World was peaceful.
