I see all these posts/comments about meetings that are obnoxiously inefficient, and I'm so sorry for everyone who has to deal with them; it's almost completely foreign to me
I work medical, and our meetings are usually reps teaching us about some new or revamped devices... but they gather us on-shift to listen to a 5 min schpiel and have us sign a paper. If I'm busy, too bad and you can try and catch me next time. If I get called mid-teaching... my name is signed, and nobody cares. If I somehow miss it entirely... oh well, guess it's on me now to learn any changes. We have one formal review per year that takes all of 10 minutes. Maybe 2 or 3 formal meetings per year... and if I can't make it, doesn't matter
I already hate the few meetings we have, as is; and I'm only "required" to go to one per year... and it's maybe 10 minutes. Or I can dodge it, and just say "my bad" (though not a good look for you). I simply can't imagine being constantly pulled away for bullshit... and I guess I'm grateful for that
Granted, my job has it's own special flavor of hell and I should've been an electrical engineer. But all the lack of meetings involved makes me feel a little bit better; as penance for the other rampant bullshit I have to deal with
These meetings y'all speak of — I just can't imagine how antsy and aggravated I would be to have to attend such idiotic fluff that "could've been an email". Fuck, I can even ignore my emails with almost no recourse. Kudos to y'all for getting through it, cause I'd really rather not. Let me work, leave me alone, and then I go the fuck home; that's all I want
Anger bang

Not trying to lessen your point, but people do be dying from sepsis all of the time still. Granted, we do have way better treatment and protocols, but it's a fast killer if not caught in time and a lot of different things can cause sepsis
But polio, for sure way better. Never seen anyone with polio before irl
Also stroke treatment. Wayyyy better now than before. We didn't really have anything except aspirin until the 90's, and now we're straight up removing the clots from the brain (when we can). It's kind of wild how much stroke treatment has improved in 30 years
So you sold your soul to the devil

Instead of: 'your mom', 'that's what she said', 'title of your sex tape', etc... I just say, "jokes".
Doesn't matter what the joke is, but what was said definitely has a joke in there somewhere. It's an implied innuendo, and it's mostly for my own amusement
"I'm giving 'er all she's got!!!" = "Jokes"
You shift your body subconsciously all of the time, especially while sitting/lying down; this naturally prevents bed sores
If you're at risk of developing bed sores from wrinkly sheets, then you probably won't have the strength to make your bed every day. Bed sores are more frequent with neuropathy, weakness, altered mental status etc; but for the average healthy folk... no, wrinkly sheets won't (significantly) increase your risk for bed sores
Underlying conditions (acute or chronic) are the reasons for bed sores. You can have a perfectly smooth bed, but if you're not making subtle weight shifts, you'll get a bed sore
Having multiple personalities, but they all have depression :(
I do like using a good passphrase that includes the website name
Eventually, I'd like to switch to all generated through bitwarden or keypass, but I'd prefer to self-host when going that route
