  • If you can swing the time and tuition, every urban hospital needs CNAs. It’s probably the least schooling for the most job security. Phlebotomy as well. Hospitals also, historically, offer cheaper/better health care if you stay in house.

    Mileage will vary a lot by location, in terms of pay and such, but it’s worth looking into. In adfition, it shows you options and offers tuition reimbursement.

    Hospitals, not long term care. The latter is awful, in most locations.

    Barring that, there’s no schooling options like EVS and logistics/supply runners. The latter will be among the first cuts if Congress allows further cuts to Medicaid or Medicare.



  • We’re not doing much now, even with:

    1. regime endorsed street executions,
    2. rollbacks on elections for midterms via postal service shenanigans,
    3. a pedophile and generalized rapist for President,
    4. religious threat, action, and rollback on the civil liberties of half the population,
    5. Healthcare,
    6. RFK and admin dismantling the cheapest most effective piece of healthcare we have: vaccines
    7. A war which will make transportation in this giant nation more onerous, and render more people homeless,
    8. impending collapse of the dollar,
    9. billionaires on their way to being trillionaires under the new tax code,
    10. Veterans disrespected and harassed and randomly ejected from their jobs weekly,
    11. A presidential police force stalking the streets, paid with our tax dollars,
    12. A partridge in a pear tree

    And you think the 1% whacking Luigi will incite action.









  • If there’s an inheritance, then the inheritance gets chipped away at until it’s either gone or the debt is paid.

    Then, the beneficiary gets what’s left.

    How it works if the house was his, I don’t know. Defer to an attorney. You should defer to an attorney anyway. In addition, unless you can legally claim common law wife in your state, if there’s no written, legally notarized will, in most cases the default inheritance is going to be parents or kids. Again, you should talk to an attorney.

    But no, legally, you’re not personally responsible for his hospital bills or anything like that. Send them all death certificates and then return to sender or whatever his bills until they stop.

    Since loan sharks are outside the law there’s no telling what could happen there.






  • I realize younger people probably don’t feel this so viscerally, but shorts (not all, but many) are very in tune with old TV advertising format. It’s like an endless stream of Super Bowl ads, at best. Repetitive music. Designed for the short attention span. Makes you seek a product, in this case, more of itself.

    Now, look at the “upcycled” (/s) version of YouTubr content. Reused video clips with a shiny, hyper-reactive talking head in front of it. Not human expression but caricatures thereof. Millions of views. Millions of viewers. For years. Not of human faces but caricatures of human faces. This garbage won’t go away because it’s consistantly being watched.

    Now, after all that priming, introduce AI into the two most popular social medias, short form and long form.

    How does this fully primed crowd know the difference? How would they suddenly feel the need to leave? Not you or me, but the people who consume the ad clones and charicaturized crap daily? The same people who slide their phones out of their pockets to scroll shorts, on automatic, whenever they have 5 free minutes at work. How do they even spot the difference after years of consuming garbage?

    TLDR Less human interaction + more fake, caricaturized human vid content = where we are now, with AI on social media.
