At places where they can market those things. There aren't any? They can make them.

They have in the past, with several subreddits, and I'm pretty sure some Lemmy servers also have communities for it. But the real issue is marketing morals vs profit.

Direct marketing and ads where there is natural traffic(Such as Instagram, and other social networks) generates a fuckton more revenue than posting on a space by and for makers.

Personally, all the marketing directed at me makes me leave, be it sexual or not. When I am advertised at, I just stop using the service. And when I want to consume, I look for it in places where the makers are in as much control as possible, and I can actually get my money's worth.

Sometimes I just want to see, so I subscribe to makers I like and who advertise in places for that. Do I know they don't do direct marketing? I do not, but at least they're posting in the places for it.

If I want something more specific or custom made? I put on a request message, or search for makers that take requests and actually have discussions with potential customers, I keep it short, sweet and to the point because I understand they are not my friends, time is money and this is their job, and honestly, I have become friends with some, and even helped some who wanted to leave the businesses and work in something more stable or compatible with their wants and needs. I used to do sex work when I was young, so I don't judge, but also have high standards.

Maybe you should, your work is good, man

Ready to eat hot food that is cheaper than the ingredients to make it, is not a luxury.

Especially if it can be refrigerated and made to last for over a week, used to supplement other foods such like chicken quesadillas, chicken soup, broth and chicken salad.

Having to prep and cook is such a narrow minded way to look at things, and a way to look down at what people do to survive.

Does the fact that I can just bite into a tomato and eat it without preparation or cooking make it not a grocery? Hell, I can even do that with oatmeal if I'm down on protein and fiber.

That's horrifying, I love it

Nope, reskin of an old comic.

Just like a lot of animal rescue videos. Horrible, heartbreaking animal abuse, staged to look like an act of heroism.

I used to watch those videos on YT a lot, until I suddenly pieced it together, that two cats had the very same markings, and figured out what their scam was, I felt so disgusted I ended up making a massive rant and telling every person I knew for months.

Odd, all I could find were a couple of allegations, and no proof, and some stalker confessing to impersonating him and other people.

Couldn't find any lawsuits either, so I'm going to assume it was just allegations for clout. An accusation alone can destroy a reputation, and it would be far from the first time either one of the two things happen (Sexual misconduct vs false allegations) so I prefer to be cautious about taking accusations like this one at face value.

What happened?

Not for a lot of people, sadly.

Bright side of Lemmy, you can say fuck. Downsides include, death of nuance, dogpiling, herd behavior and people who try to take down others.

That certainly happens too. But it is not 100% schedule, at least where I have worked, they use a risk matrix based on multiple factors including risk, pregnancy length AND personnel availability, to keep themselves from overstaffing, and that way keep the spending and budget margins under control.

I can't speak for every hospital, of course, and also there are psychological factors at play, such as the fact that telling a patient vs asking a patient gives far better and more streamlined processes.

Even if done with good intentions, often times it is not productive or time efficient to explain everything to patients, so they don't have time to argue. And while that is absolute bullshit, in my opinion patients should be informed of all relevant information, most people are not logical and rational while they're at the hospital, and this does not limit to expecting mothers.

Patients when given a chance, don't always choose treatments by success or survival rate, they might choose riskier, more expensive alternatives when faced with amputation, and the psychological effects of this on medical personnel are massive. Most doctors, when they lose a patient, lose sleep and confidence, they spiral into "I could have done this", "I should have done that", and often times letting a patient choose against what them as doctors consider the best option, and getting a bad outcome, makes them psychologically vulnerable for a while, because the medical professionals feel they weren't convincing enough, and that even if it was the patient who chose what procedure to have, it is still their own fault.

And that is only one of the reasons why healthcare worker burnout is so prevalent and risky. Most people lack the emotional fortitude not to carry those decisions with them, and that is why medical professionals are taught to be professional, clinical and distant, and can be read as them being aloof and uncaring. Because the more one connects emotionally to a situation, the harder the emotional recoil will hit us if it has a bad outcome.

It is common, to a point. And part of why it is seems as not necessarily something to worry about is due to the widespread intervention of medical professionals requesting the patients to be induced.

There are far too many variables in placental health and viability, and the risk increase after the 42nd week is SHARP. Plus, we don't have the technology required to live monitor the placental health closely enough to take chances.

So, it is a lot like measles and polio, we don't think much of them because of how prevalent immunization has become, but if we lower the protocols, that is when death counts start rising fast.
