I wonder what you think about:
- if the victim is not breathing and there's a spare helper available, send them off to find an AED,
- if the victim fell from a nontrivial height, impacted into something headfirst or backfirst (or you suspect that in face of lack of witnesses) do not move them unless they aren't breathing/are unable to breathe and tell them not to get up if conscious, but do not try to restrain them,
- if the victim is unconscious in an ~enclosed space, esp. under ground level, with no obvious reason for the unconsciousness and there is no well person in the space space, be extremely wary of entering it (or just don't).

@chris I gotcha now :) I just thought you meant it non-ironically. I was aware of the term.

That is quite weird.. I type extremely fast (world record speed just with far more typos)... Its quite common for my brain to make weird slips like that which arent consciously intentional. Just my brain pulling some shenanigans.

Sadly because I tend to be so busy I have little time to proof read low-priority tasks like social media. So generally i just do a quick scan for the red squiggly line. So mistakes like that will go unmissed.

As a certified first responded... Some tips about being a first responded in an emergency situation (like choking, heart attack, etc).

1. Defer to any experts. Ask if anyone is a doctor, if not ask if anyone is a first responded, only if there are neither should you step up and try to help.
2. Immediately call 911, it never hurts, worst case it isnt needed.
3. If you are the one responding to the emergency dont call 911 yourself, nor should you simply say "someone call 911". You need to handle the emergency so explicitly tell someone nearby to call 911, when you dont specifically nominate someone usually everyone thinks someone else called and no one calls.
4. Check for consciousness and relay this to the 911 caller. If conscious and doesnt require immediate intervention of 911 hasnt yet given you instructions use that time to gather basic info about what happened and what their symptoms are.
5. If they are unconscious follow 911s instructions, if you for any reason cant get a hold of 911 begin the ABC's, check (A)irways for blockage by the tongue which may roll back and block breathing, (B) check if they are breathing despite no obstructions, (C) if you know how check for a heart beat to confirm blood is circulating.
6. If you dont get a heart beat, or you dont know how and the person isnt breathing, perform CPR. I highly recommend anyone not familiar watch a video
7. If you cant get a hold of 911 and the person has clear signs of swelling tongue and cant breath due to swelling use a EpiPen if available. Only do this if the person is conscious or if 911 instructs you to.

@L29Ah you skipped the most important word in that definition, eagerness.

The action comes before the eagerness to continue doing the action.

@chris Wait, if you see trump as a genius how is that agreeing?

One of the biggest life lessons I learned.... motivation never comes first. Action leads to motivation, not the other way around.

@chris Trump is a moron, but there are no signs of dementia.. I think you confused him with Biden who has such bad dementia his own party wont even endorse him anymore (after years of telling us he is fine).

Dont get me wrong, I dont like Trump, but it just isnt a good look to be so transparent about deflecting the democrats huge blunder with biden and try to make it about Trump. Making everything about Trump is the very reason he is running again and stands a chance at all, lets not do that...

Nothing personal though.

@garyackerman

I strongly disagree. That question is almost always an attempt at someone treying to understand the bigger picture and relevance of a new piece of knowledge. It is very important to explain why some knowledge is important and not just impart the information without relevance to the greater applicability.

@freemo,
THANKS for the clarification in what sense qoto.org is a safe space.
I found it necessary to ask for
—and get—
your idea what constitutes sense of moderation in such matters as

To be fair I am no dictator. I expressed my views of stallman, and it wasnt meant to represent QOTO's view. We create our rules as a community.

That said, I do think my opinion on stallman, specifically the whole "I need some evidence to judge someone" is fairly in line with the attitude we have here.

Look a civil war level event is a huge leap.. if i were a betting man i wouldnt bet on it.. but it is the closest we have come to it, and i wouldnt discount it either. The main thing stopping a civil war is that the divide is not strongly geographical.

I think its safe to say that what will happen will be at a minimum what happened last time, lots and lots of riots and fighting. Likely it will escalate to a greater degree than last time, since the population has already been riled up for years.. but whether it will go beyond extra violent riots or not remains to be seen.

Do keep in mind the one major difference between this time as opposed to last time is a huge amount of inflation and additional poverty, with more to come on the horizon. Just the added poverty tends to inflame things a great deal. Remember WWII more or less started because of poverty, the poverty of germany.
