If you've like me, you've found the "how much pain are you in on a scale of 0-10" question annoying to answer because everyone's 0-10 varies so much. Well, I wanted to share the new DVPRS pain scale, which defines 0-10 by how much it's impairing your life.

There is literally only a **single** state in the USA where you still control autonomy over your own medical records (prescription drug list) and that is MO!

That means if you are in any other state and ever had a prescription doctors can find out what it was and who prescribed it. That means doctors can find your past doctors without your approval.

The scary part? You also have no control over your medical records. So your PCP can now legally look this up and contact all your past doctors for medical records and you cant do anything about it, you cant legally stop them, you cant purge your records, you cant purge your prescription list.

This is very scary for anyone who has been abused at the hand of a past doctor and moves.. If they have put any negative information about you that might make future doctors hostile towards you or not want you as a patient... there is nothing you can do... that is so scary...

In the wake of a Seattle cop(the VP of the cop union) getting caught laughing about a woman the department had killed, SPD ends contract with the company responsible for reviewing body cam footage.

Why is this even a contract managed by the cops? Really seems like anything involving bodycam management should not be run by the corrupt cops.

Bisexual:

Wondering if switching parties right after you win an election could be considered a conspiracy against rights under Title 18 USC 241. Seems like they deprived citizens of their right elect a representative from the party of their choosing.

It’s fraud.

Making of a false statement,
With the intent that other rely upon it. They reasonably rely.
Damages result.

Defections like the one by Kyrsten Sinema have happened more than a dozen times in the past century, only occasionally reshaping power.

Kyrsten Sinema (AZ)
Jim Justice (WV)
Jeff Van Drew (NJ)
Tricia Cotham (NC)
Mesha Mainor (GA)
Francis Thompson (LA)
Eric L. Johnson (TX)

Switching parties after being elected is election fraud
We need accountability.

Remember when that gender critical said trans people only started existing a few years ago?

Remember when the TERF said gender neutral pronouns are new?

Remember when "real" gays said they were against new inventions like queer and trans?

I present you a London Gay Liberation Front poster from 1971, over 50 years ago. Don't believe the lies of modern hatemongers. Because the only time they're not lying is when they're not speaking.(Credit to Mallory Moore for spotting this.)

Big 3 CEOs claim their pay is high b/c its performance based. Really? When they led so poorly that the Big 3 needed taxpayer bailouts—it was workers who took a pay cut.

Now that those workers have generated immense profit—workers still get the pay cut?🤔

Absurd corporate greed.

Can we stop having literally everything be on Discord? I checked out a cool Pokemon fan game, but literally everything to do with it, including downloading it, was locked behind joining their server.

Please stop doing this, Discord wasn't designed for this, there's a limit of how many servers you can join, and you're just asking for that information to be lost someday.

:verifiedjourno: It was advised I pinned my introduction post but I lost track. So hello 👋 nice to meet you. I’ve lost count as a millennial how many social media migrations I’ve done. I’m Canadian, I’ve worked in the #media, #politics and #law (criminal & housing). I primarily use social media for info sharing, debate, & to find like-minded people. I am unapologetically progressive and won’t tolerate hate. I can usually find common ground with most people, despite my strong opinions☺️.

And here's a helpful thread on Twitter from someone who's been following this phenom for a long time: https://twitter.com/AshleyLatke/status/1705688715459228091
