@twotwenty IT was disgusting.. I read it and got to the part entitled "Defense of Sexual Misconduct" and it starts by blaming him for basically saying people should be found guilty by a court of law before we make assumptions about an accusation.

Wow, this is a quite disgusting hit piece.

Ask your students ... and believe what they say... they know much more that your think!

@Richard Im not sure thats a con, it means men can do it now too, and women still have the option... Good thats equality, both sexes should have the option to be a stay-at-home wife/dad

@AngryBlackLady

Im kinda confused, as much as I would love title IX to protect trans people, it doesnt. That is in fact one of the big arguments, that trans people should be included in the protected classes from title IX by updating the amendment because currently it does not.

How can you block a law from being used in a way the law isnt used for, thats not blocking, thats just enforcing what the law actually says.. blocking would be if they tried to fix the amendment to include transpeople, as it should, and they said no.

Note, Biden has made no proposal to anyone to actually amend title IX to include trans people... which is what we should be mad at, Biden not proposing that or pushing for it, as that is what he should be doing.

@jonny Why would one compare overall valuation with GDP, thats like comparing acceleration with velocity, they are completely unrelated units, one is an amount of money, the other is a rate of change of money (money per time). They are not comparable values....

@Gina

@freemo

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.

@louis

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.
