I get mine done about every 1-2 months. Usually when it starts poking me in the ears and getting annoying.

My mate at work who’s very fashion conscious gets his done every 3 weeks or so.

You know you can block users right? If you don’t like someone’s content just block them and move on rather than complain on their post.

Or make another post to ask the community and involve the mods.

Sign up for a first aid for children course. The best way to manage these feelings and fears is to be prepared to manage them directly. If you learn some first aid then you’ll be able to manage a lot of problems yourself and know when you can’t and need help.

No but that’s what anxiety makes you think.

That one is social anxiety and is because in the past if you got excluded from your group of humans you’d starve or freeze to death. We aren’t evolved to deal with the hundreds and hundreds of people that the modern world requires. More used to like extended family groups and small communities.

It depends what your anxiety is driven by. Social anxiety is mostly the fear of being driven out of the group, which would evolutionarily lead to death. You’d be better with social interaction games or multiplayer ones to connect with more people in a safe environment.

Generalised anxiety where you’re hyper aware of every risk and on edge all the time expecting something bad to happen, horror games might work with desensitisation though often in horror the bad things do happen and you just happen to survive by running away or fighting back which is probably not the most helpful thing for anxiety.

Specific fears around ghosts - play FEAR and shoot ghosts. Specific fears around zombies play resident evil, probably the remake of 4, and shoot zombies. Existential dread about what makes you human and the existence of consciousness and souls, play SOMA (has a mode where the enemies don’t insta death you now so you can experience the story and the incredible locations), probably won’t make it less scary but is a great game.

Eugenics?

The problem with this point relating to dementia is that dementia specifically makes forming new memories harder. So they are unlikely to remember any specifics including their diagnosis. Also for the patient saying dementia or memory problems will be more than enough to tell everyone who’s not a doctor.

The frontotemporal bit won’t mean anything to the general public unless they remember more human anatomy than most, but everyone has heard of dementia that one is in common parlance anyway I think.

This is a big problem with medicine in general. Medicine is unfortunately very much an old white man’s club, it’s getting better slowly, but all the knowledge and the way it is taught comes from that old white guy standard.

Medical terminology is complex because medicine is complex. There is definitely an element of being part of an exclusive club but there is also communicating lots of information quickly and efficiently.

Frontotemporal dementia describes a specific set of symptoms and if you are medically trained tells you most everything you need to know about what is happening. As opposed to the patient is a bit confused or sees things sometimes which could be many different things.

The language and how diagnoses are communicated are really important, a good medic should tell the patient their diagnosis with the medical words but should explain what those mean in as much detail as the patient wants.

Most patients are able to understand dementia even if the frontotemporal bit doesn’t make sense to them.

You could install a little hook by the door and use that. The effort to put the hook up might encourage you to use it.

Rhythm helps your two hips move. I have to say it to myself every time.

You could look at fire safe boxes for document storage. Those are usually pretty solid. You would want to bag up the drive inside an anti static bag and probably put a couple of those little water absorbing silicone packets in there as well. If access isn’t an issue then maybe some sealant around the seams to keep it more water tight.

Magnetic tape would be better for long term storage as well I think. Those have longer storage stability. I don’t know how long an unplugged hard drive will reliably store information.

Animals could dig it up but probably wouldn’t as it wouldn’t smell like food. Depth wise I’d go for at least a couple feet deep, the traditional 6 is a surprisingly deep hole and temperature gets more consistent the deeper you go (at least with readily available tools, it eventually starts to get hot again).

Please note totally random opinion with very little experience with long term data storage. Thanks for the fun thought experiment, I hope things get better and you don’t need your backup data.

Universities are a stepping stone to teach students how to be independent adults so getting them used to normal working hours gently is a good thing. Most courses aren’t a solid 9-5 so there’s plenty of opportunity for a lay in at least some days (depending on the course)

Universities are also research institutions and that all runs on normal working hours, the lecturers are often researchers first and teaching staff second so fitting classes around the research makes sense.

I suspect the main reason is the inertia of the 9-5 that most of the world revolves around. You’d struggle to recruit staff to teach, techs to maintain buildings and stock required if they had to work permanently on late shifts.

My dog. He’s such a doofus but he’s beautiful and very funny, always getting distracted by bugs or plant seeds floating about.

Maybe, you’d want to talk to someone like an intensive care doctor really but yeah a lot of your organs can be replaced mechanically these days at least for a while.

It really depends what you mean by survive.

You could do ECMO and dialysis and get rid of the heart, lungs and kidneys, parenteral nutrition to feed via an IV so no need for a gut.

The patient would be bed bound and at immediate risk of dying from a complication but in theory that’s basically an empty abdominal cavity connected to a brain and a bunch of machines.

You would need enough decent sized blood vessels left to connect it all up but otherwise not much physically.

A wet fart is a slightly more polite way to say shit yourself.

Basically if there is poo in your undies after a fart it was a wet day.

For me realising that I care for people (as a job) and if I don’t get it right my patients could get hurt means I’m much more likely to ask for help for anything from little simple things to bigger my mental health is suffering and I need more support from all aspects of my life.

Asking for help isn’t easy, everyone wants to be strong and self sufficient, remember we are a social species and evolved to work in groups and help each other. Think how you feel when you can help someone or if you’ve been asked to help and remember that when you seek help.

Bohemian Rhapsody. Every time.
