Best I could do on the fly with the paucity of vowels in the language. Is there a better transliteration of it?
Anyway, I was just doing it as a means of mocking the delicate sensibilities (so to speak) of the magaflatearthers.
Set a thief to catch a thief. What could better ferret out illicit use of AI in journalism than an AI program itself?
I thought this was a wonderful example of irony impairment
That picture (and the replies) are at least as old as the Trump administration.
Here it is in a reddit post from 1/13/21.
Assuming that’s when it’s from (and I have no idea if it goes back farther), then this was literally the housing plan under Trump.
Remember though …
That part of the housing plan only applies to Those People, so the fact that’s trump’s plan, the traditional R’s plan, and / or Capitalism’s plan is all Good and Just and Jeeebus’s Will.
And has been for far longer than just since 2021 or even 2010.
Proctologist with serious hearing deficit starts colonoscopy before patient is fully sedated, can’t hear the screaming:
Too much stupid:
-
If you are seriously hearing impaired to the point that you can’t hear a screaming patient right in front of you, then you are aware of your hearing problem, and you can tell when you do or don’t have your hearing aids in place. For starters, wouldn’t you notice that you can’t hear your colleagues, or any ambient noises whatsoever?
-
Doesn’t the surgical team communicate with each other at all? I had a colonoscopy recently, and there were at least three people in the room with me. How is it that nobody noticed (before the patient started screaming) that the doctor couldn’t hear a goddam thing?
-
If I’m the patient and the doc is not responding to my screams, I’m gonna be pulling away (probably somewhat involuntarily), maybe even putting a hand behind me to get him to stop. I gotta believe this patient must have been doing something like that. Did nobody notice?
-
Well, OK, one person - a hospital administrator who was in the room - noticed the screaming and said something, but the doc continued. Really? Nobody else said anything, nobody stepped forward to wave their hands in his face and present an open, vertical hand that says “STOP”?
I suppose it’s possible that all of the subordinates were a bit fearful of their superior…in which case the culture in that hospital is also stupid. Crew resource management may have had its start in aviation, but these days it’s supposed to be a thing in pretty much any situation where a small mistake can have disastrous consequences…including surgical/medical procedures. If the culture there maintains a high power distance such that nobody feels comfortable pointing out a problem to the person in charge, then they’re just asking for more horrible stuff like this down the road.
Alex Jones is “considering” moving to Father Putin Mother Russia. (The link goes to Yahoo.)
Right-wing talk show host and provocateur Alex Jones suggested he might leave the U.S. for Russia, and social media seemed very excited about the prospect.
Jones’ suggestion came after Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree that, according to The Moscow Times, allows foreign citizens and stateless individuals to apply for temporary residency “if they share ‘traditional Russian spiritual and moral values,’ even in cases when a person does not speak Russian.”

Jones seemed into the idea on Monday and posted on X, formerly Twitter, that “if you’re ready to reject the insane policies of your home countries that push these destructive, anti-human, neoliberal agendas, Russia is rolling out the red carpet!”
And, yes, part of the post was in all-caps, the universally recognized sign that someone isn’t the slightest bit strange. Thanks for asking.
If he didn’t hear the patient yelling, he’s not going to hear the other people in the room either. Though they could have physically stopped him.
This line is what bugs me:
The outlet also reported that a hospital administrator had been present in the room and told Prasad he needed to wait, to which the gastroenterologist "leaned over (the patient) and shouted “I know!” to the administrator, yet continued to manipulate the scope.”
We don’t know what his tone was when he said “I know”. I’m curious if this was a ‘my operating room, my rules’ or if he’s having some type of mental issues, in addition to his hearing issues.
The other person in the room was a non-licensed tech who probably doesn’t have the authority to do much of anything and isn’t going to risk their career to push back against a doctor. And, yeah, CRM. I watch a handful of aviation/aviation disaster youtube channels and poor CRM is often partially or fully to blame for a plane crash.
The only thing I can think of that isn’t a mental issue is that, not that it would make this right, he thought the anesthetic would kick in and the PT would be out in few seconds and not remember any of it. The fact that he can remember any of it makes me wonder if they forgot to give him versed.
In trying to find an age or picture of this guy, I didn’t find another article from last year, but I think it’s pretty similar to yours.

This is what I’m talking about. If the hospital administration supports CRM, then they’ll support a lowly tech who intervenes when a supervising physician is about to make a grievous error (and make it clear to the lowly tech, in advance, that they will be supported in such a manner). If they don’t or won’t, then not only is the doctor a stupid MFer, but the hospital is being run by stupid MFers.
I know some of the people working to bring CRM into medicine and let me tell you - they are frustrated. It’s been a much tougher slog getting that to take hold in medicine than aviation and there is still a lot of resistance. There’s been some success with checklists, but that’s the easy part of CRM. What’s much harder is changing the longstanding power dynamic between doctors and nurses, and until that’s more successful the communication issues are difficult to improve.
End of hijack - if anyone would like to discuss that issue further, perhaps see me in the General Aviation thread.
I just started a thread, CRM in the Operating Room, over in Great Debates (because I have a sneaking suspicion it’ll break into a big debate fairly quickly).
There is that word again. “Neo” makes them think it makes it sound worse. In reality, “neoliberal” literally means the opposite of what he is trying to say.
Given that we know that he had serious hearing impairment, I think the simplest explanation is that he thought the administrator was saying something else entirely.
Which doesn’t excuse anything about the whole situation, of course.
Sheessss. The medical board should take a look at this and pull his license. I have hearing issues and I avoid situations where I think it may cause me or others problems.
Not actually in the news, but this guy’s a stupid motherhumper.
There are a few people who make a point of experiencing extreme discomfort, for the sake of views.
You’d think people would know better than climbing a fence to get up close and personal with a tiger, but apparently Jersey’s gotta Jersey (I know I was surprised this wasn’t Florida):
Wow, that’s the exact act I thought of when I read your text (but before I clicked the link).
But pretty cat! I want to pat the pretty cat!
– having a brain that I at least sometimes use, however: no matter how much I want to pat the tiger, I ain’t gonna.
If cat-shaped, why not pet cat?
