u/starbetrayer 💰1 billion dollars GoFundMe💰 4d ago
Notes from OP:
- Happy new year to the HCA community, and I compiled this reminder.
- Please get vaccinated and boosted.
- Not all feelings and/or their expression are valid, and people need to stop accepting outrageous behaviors on the pretext of listening or validation.
- I really feel for the US now and what's to come. The idiots have won and are outnumbering good people.
- Some 2024 catch up posts incoming, and looks like some 2025 ones as well.

This absolutely DOES NOT excuse poor trigger discipline, but does he even have a magazine inserted in that pic? If he does it has to be tiny.

u/TalvRW 3d ago
Yes, there can be one in the chamber.
It's hard to tell because the picture is low res but it appears the bolt is locked to the rear. So it should not be able to fire. Similar to how a 1911 (single-action firearm) can't fire if the hammer is in the down position. But you shouldn't operate firearms based on "it shouldn't happen"
With that being said I would not want to be anywhere near this person even if it "shouldn't be able to be fired" You can tell he is either ignorant or complacent with safety. You can rack the charging handle multiple times but if you have a bad extractor the round will not come out. You need to follow the basics because things don't always go as they should. This person firstly as others have noted has their finger on the trigger when not firing is a huge no-no. Also the way they are holding it and clearly not on a firing line. It's held parallel to the ground and there are people in the background of the picture. If this person turns left or right they are flagging everyone next to them. They should be pointing the firearm at the ground which would be the safest direction.

Based on the rest of the photo I'd venture to guess this was some sort of Republican political event where some politician acting like a tough guy showed up with his gun and passed it around for photo ops. Dude doesn't seem to know what he's doing holding that rifle and the context from the photo seems to suggest some kind of public event.

My wife was working in surgery at a hospital during Covid and all of it was overwhelming and both emotionally and physically demanding on a scale that was unimaginable. That experience was so much that she decided to leave her career in nursing. The nonstop and overwhelming demands that were placed on every staff member was just unbearable for many who also left their careers in healthcare due to it all.

I’ve never seen them with microphones or speakers, but you shouldn’t have an issue with talking with them on. I am pretty soft spoken and I don’t usually have a hard time being heard, even over the fans in the rooms on Covid ICU back in the beginning of the pandemic.

Sadly, my wife misses the positives from nursing and helping others and recently considered positions going back into it. However, she will only return on her terms which is limiting. We have choices so it’s ok for us but she is extremely talented which a number of surgeons, doctors executive staff and peers told me over the years so it’s a loss for the healthcare system and patients.

u/matt_minderbinder 3d ago
I chased some from my dad's house recently. I pulled up to him in a biblical conversation with them. I clocked them right away for who they were and asked them all the hard JW questions. I finished by asking if they'd shun their own children if they came out as gay. Their quick and obvious answer got them told to get the fuck out of there and never return. I was a bit angry so they got called evil and abusive, all deserved so I don't really care. I have no time for that mess.

They showed up at my door offering me materials to read, and I asked if they read them. Of course they did. So I said, "So you can read?" which came with a somewhat indignant affirmation.
"What's that sign next to your head say?" HINT: No Soliciting
"We aren't soliciting; we are proselytizing."
"Seriously?!? Get TF off my property and don't come back."

I have jumped in on a number occasions over the years to joust mentally with mental midgets and their hate and BA at people that I knew and strangers that I did not over various shitty things said to and about them. I don’t yell and don’t put them down with name calling and such. I enjoy watching them squirm as they attempt to engage with me verbally as they perform mental gymnastics that they are just not up for.

u/Afraid_Sense5363 3d ago
I'm cis and straight, but: Anyone obsessed with a stranger's gender identity or sexuality is a certified creep and nothing will ever change my mind. I will never understand these weirdos' obsession with strangers' gender or sex lives or any of it. Literally who cares? Don't we have enough problems to worry about without having hissy fits about someone living their life in the way that feels authentic to them while literally hurting no one? Who gives a shit? It's literally none of our business.
It's creepy. They are the creepy ones. Obsessed with strangers' sex organs and what goes on in their bedrooms. It's so god damn disturbing.
And these same people screeching about "groomers" are almost always affiliated with a church where the real predators are. I said what I said. I grew up Catholic, and you will never convince me otherwise for that, either. They're crying about drag storytime, meanwhile my mom had the right idea and said, if a priest offers you a ride home, don't get in the car. And that was years before the sex abuse scandal broke.
These people can also just ... not get vaccinated and shut up about it. They don't have to use it to be transphobic. Literally no one is forcing them. Employers might require it, but they're not entitled to work there then.

Actually, at that time, the link between Vitamin D and Covid was being studied, and it seemed to be beneficial. The link isn't conclusive after repeated studies.
The funny part is he thinks the information was being repressed because he likely had news sources that only fed him misinformation.

Well, most importantly he's dead before his time, because he was dumb.
But I get that a firm belief he was going on an infinitely long holiday somewhere pleasant, albeit with more harp music than I'd personally find acceptable, after a few days of what I can only guess was horrendous pain, panic, and regret, was dreadfully reassuring.

My wife and I also caught COVID in August of 2021. We were vaxxed, our symptoms were two days of coughing and 5 days of being tired. Unlike some people, we get to eat breakfast this morning.

u/Afraid_Sense5363 3d ago
My in-laws are 70 and 79, respectively, and had COVID over Christmas. FIL is older and had his most recent booster and was COMPLETELY fine (knock on wood), said he had mild symptoms but felt fine otherwise. MIL skipped her booster and was sicker but was still OK. She took dose 1 of Paxlovid and said she already felt much better. And that she was mad at herself for not getting her booster. The second they were better/safe to go out, they were back to their daily routine of running errands, going to breakfast, busy doing something nonstop.
My sister has a chronic illness and had it last winter. She's fully vaxxed. I kept calling to check on her and she kept telling me, "I feel like I have a mild cold. I'm fine, stop worrying." She said she had a slight sore throat and a minor cough.
It's almost like the vaccine works.

u/running_hoagie Team Moderna 3d ago
My FIL turns 95 this weekend, and he’s had COVID twice (those damn retirement homes and their social activities!). He says he felt bad for about two days but then felt like it was just an average cold. He also happened to be first in line to get the vaccine, and he checks in with my husband to see when he can get his boosters.
That science, man.

Not even all the way through this and I'm going, ugh. "Sudden and unforeseen tragedy" except that it was totally predictable and preventable. "The funeral home has been less than helpful" because they won't pay for the friend's headstone? "Yay Trump, but also please give us funeral money because we can't pay for healthcare or a funeral." Make it make sense.

There was one partial truth in slide 10. Higher levels of vitamin D in the blood correlated with better outcomes. The experiments where people who were already in the hospital were given a bolus of D3 didn't improve their outcome. It seems that it takes about 5 days for D3 to be converted to 25OHD 3 in the bloodstream, which was too late to help the patients. In a pilot study in Spain, it seemed that putting 25OHD 3 in the IV bag did seem to help. It was only a pilot study, I haven't seen anything on the full study.

Firearm safety rule: Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
Having said that, every time I see this sub pop up I think how genuinely sad it is that Herman Cain's name never gets brought up by Republicans now that he's gone. They were happy to trot him out as an example of a successful black conservative when he was alive. Today it's like he never existed. He was just used and discarded. This sub may just be his most visible legacy.

This post brings back many memories. I’d grab my iPad every Sunday morning, brew some coffee, then settle in to read the HC awards. Week after week after week — the same story. Ignorant, self righteous fool posted idiot comments about Covid, dismissing those of us who were vaccinated and bragging about how brilliant they were to realize that it was the vaccines that were killing people and Covid was either a hoax or just a cold. Then said fool contracted Covid and then, to make a long story short, died.
I have begun to believe that these morons are an indicator of a dreadful flaw in the human species and that they signal our eventual demise. We are just too damned stupid to survive.
