everyone's like wehhhhh why doesn't doctor house gets suuuueeed! like my man. literally every patient he sees is someone that's been trying to find a diagnosis for ages. i could live with a little medical malpractice if it were coming from someone ready to break into my home to look for allergens and not simply half heartedly listen to me before suggesting I lose weight and take ages of back and forth arguing to order a single test

"it's medical malpractice" have u ever been a doctor? most medicine is malpractice. let the man limp around chewing vicodin doing 50 invasive tests please

Once Taub (derogatory) derisively said about a patient with unexplained chronic pain “7 doctors couldn’t find anything wrong with him, what does that mean?” and House replied without even thinking “it means they’re idiots” and proceed to work his ass off to diagnose the patient Taub wanted to write off as a faker or something. If a doctor had said that when that patient was ME, I wouldn’t dream of suing them in a million years

I think people who think House would/should get sued are underestimating how bad the healthcare situation is in the USA.

I think it's a very common viewpoint for people who have never tried to be diagnosed with something that isn't straightforward.

spiritually nourished by listening in to the admin meeting and hearing that work is having trouble recruiting staff for their understaffed, very part-time afterschool positions. the peace that passeth understanding, etc.

their first two suggestions for improving staff morale and mental health were "have everyone attend a mandatory mental health seminar" and "ask the staff how things are going" bro at least have a pizza party...

bro I have been in therapy for years, if you make me sit thru a PowerPoint about journaling and taking time for myself when my top two stressors are 1) you and 2) also you but in a different way, I will shit my pants during the seminar, god bless <3

Losing my mind remembering that pic chelsea manning posted of the extremely undercover and not at all obvious fbi agent who was tailing her after her release

what kind of sixth sense do american have to recognize fbi agents that easily

to paraphrase her, its always the shoes.

americans please explain to a foreigner, he looks like some random dude to me

for the past 60 years law enforcement, military, and even literal espionage/intelligence based organizations have assumed that rigid conformity to dress code was more important then actually training how to go undercover, blend in, or understand what the fuck theyre doing largely because the ‘we are infallible’ mindset is too strong for them to consider they might not be doing very good

shoutout to the two “undercover cops” who were at my school to monitor the student body for a week, acting like “substitute assistants” and literally all of the kids immediately recognised them as cops and everyone would address them only as “officer” which annoyed the hell out of them because “we aren’t cops” like sir you literally have your badge in your back pocket and a taser what fucking substitute assistant would have an actual police badge and a whole ass taser??

Just a casual reminder that this is what secret police are. Like, this is the literal definition. Police who are (badly or otherwise) pretending to not be police.

This sounds bonkers to me because in Italy it’s forbidden for cops to bait you to commit a crime, if they do and you cave in they end up in jail

This is always good info to have and REALLY came in handy in 2020

Not long enough.

What if we gave it a twist? Rather than earning that amount of money, what if it was to save that amount while still paying bills and feeding himself?

And since it IS hell, his car starts making a Noise about once a month.

Do not forget medical bills occurring at unexpected times!

class solidarity must extend to ALL workers, not just workers of sectors you approve of.

#ok so like#yes?#but also: this is actually a terrible example of this#and i keep seeing people memefying this as a clout thing like#lol i don’t partake in spotify wrapped because i don’t believe in the commodification of data tracking#meanwhile they’re posting it on instametafacebookiverse#like#yes spotify keeps a record of the songs you listen to within the app they made for listening to songs#but they’re not actually tracking your every choice and action they’re tracking information you’ve put on your account that you made#to listen to songs#its the equivalent of the data you get when you like#look at stats within a video game#this game can tell that you played it x many hours#the real analogy to the insidious tracking from companies like google and zucky and amazon#would be if spotify was also tracking songs you heard in the mall/songs you played in other apps on your phone/songs you listened to on yt#and collated that into your spotify wrapped#this is at best a bad analogy used to suck the joy out of something harmless and fun#and at worst disinformation designed to distract folks from the deeply insidious tracking of the largest and most egregious actors#none of which are actually spotify unfortunately#like there is a real case to be made for the harm spotify is doing to the music industry#but that’s not about your personal privacy at all (via @swashbucklery)

I dont want a career and I hate working. There I said it

this was so wild

Someone explain

the above explanation is followed by a picture of data from star trek with a speech bubble's tail coming out of him, implying he's the one saying all of that, which is humerous because the above text is written in a style similar to his speech patterns, and with a subject matter he would enjoy

This is the worst website ever and I love it.
