I work in healthcare and it's already been a policy. The standards of care basically require that we use the lowest dose for the shortest time possible. We have meetings on a regular basis where we'll review the psychotropic medications the residents are on and see if we can start removing them. Sometimes we find that they can come off and we taper them off without too much issue. Other times it's a nightmare.

I'm often in two minds regarding this. These medications can have significant side effects so getting people off them isn't a bad thing. The other side is that a lot of the time they the behaviors and feelings these medications were meant to address end up coming back, but there's a lot of pressure to just keep them off usually requiring nursing to fight to get them back.

Over the past few years the restrictions on certain psychotropic meds have become a lot stricter in nursing homes. Apparently down in Florida there was some large issue where people were diagnosing people with schizophrenia in order to give out more antipsychotic medications so now there are more restrictions as a result. When I worked on a dementia unit, the restrictions became really frustrating since you're dealing with psychotropics on a very regular basis. On their face I don't think they're bad, but in practice it's just even more work I'm expected to do when I'm already overworked and understaffed.

I mean especially back then Maria-sama ga Miteru was a cultural juggernaut for lesbians in anime, everyone going to private girls schools was kinda gay coded because it's just girls playing around, but when they grow up they'll find a man and settle down into proper wives.

Sci-fi futurists have cooked the brains of a generation of techbros. I'd love to live in a universe where dyson spheres were real, but we don't. It was a joke paper. These fuckers think we can just dismantle Mercury to turn it into a fucking dyson swarm so we can then hollow out the earth and turn it into a giant floating computer. Might as well just build a Matrioshka brain at that point.

It's to the far East, not depicted on any maps so it remains a mythical isolated hermit kingdom.

Found him features in a video when looking at the Iran war. He seemed alright for a bit saying the most obvious shit and then he went hard onto how apocalypse is coming and some genuine delusional thinking. I just vowed not to watch him again with no further information, makes sense hes been blowing up.

Still find it weird how nobody talks about this massive farm of channels using the same guys face putting out AI slop news on the war and they get 1m views at times.

Americans can't really understand the significance of these sites because they already flattened almost all the historic sites in the US. The idea that the Hopewell mounds survived solely because they were on a golf course is so fucking sad. The next Nuremberg trials can't come soon enough.

He has the aura of a little brother asking to play Nintendo.

I remember seeing somewhere that it gives companies a way of raising prices and then when the tariffs go away the prices just don't come back down.

When I get logged out, the front page tries to shove this kind of shit at me, pretty sure there was a housekeeping olympics one I saw at some point.

Got hit with a full cognito hazard while at work today. One of the patients had fox news on and I just happened to be in the room while they were talking about the supreme court case regarding bans on trans people in sports.
