So they’ll have to give her a job again. But then she won’t be homeless anymore.

I can confirm, having a job (or 3) does not provide a home.

you can only do that so many times before you run out of money, materials, water, or places to build

That’s someone else’s problem. Hopefully someone after they’re dead, but as long as they have their golden parachute, who cares?

As an American, what the fuck are you talking about?

Good to see the police openly lying

… Have they ever done anything else?

That’s right up there with calling Epsteins victims “underage women” instead of CHILDREN

I read them, UN.

So there’s at least one more!

People won’t stand up for their neighbors and community when Nazies are rounding the others up

Because it doesn’t directly affect them yet.

“Then they came for my coffee”, and all that.

There’s one just like that near where I grew up and now that I’m older I want to ask them about heating/cooling, because it’s got to be so much cheaper than a regular house.

I doubt they would get away with “almost zero” though since it’s basically buried with a small hill rather than dug down or cut into stonea cliff.

I imagine maintaining it can be a bitch though.

I am sorry if this comes off as offensive to anyone, I’m not trying to be.

I don’t get furries.

I also don’t have to completely understand their ins and outs and complexities to know they’re people who are worthy of respect for being other living people. (or non-people if they identify as non-people? Again I don’t understand them as much as I probably should).

Regardless, shout out to all the furries out there who struggle with things I can’t even imagine.

There was on one that I’ve been in, not sure about this one.

From my understanding, when an MRI is emergency stopped it doesn’t stop immediately, and it causes a lot of damage, so staff are less likely to use it in an emergency. Stupid, yes. But when you’re worried about getting fired for hitting a button, you’re less likely to think of a situation as an emergency. You would think “chain strangling a man” constitutes an emergency though…

As for the staff not stopping the guy making a beeline for the door with more than just words, I’m not sure. I would prefer staff tackle me to the floor rather than let me blithely walk to my doom. Of course I’m only in my 30s…

The hospital is absolutely partly to blame, especially if they didn’t properly convey the danger beforehand. All 3 hospitals I’ve recieved an MRI from have been pretty insistent about making sure I have no metal on or around me before I go in the doors though.

I’d say it’s about 60/40 on the hospital.

Tldr for safety

To actually answer your question instead of piling on, it’s a hospital, not a prison. In case of emergencies, the door absolutely cannot ever be potentially locked, even while the machine is on.

With how easily something can go wrong in an MRI, they need quick access without the addition of special keya/badges to get inside or relying on people inside to hit some lock release.

In cases like this it makes perfect sense to have a lock because an idiot was outside and ignored all the warnings. A lock would have prevented everything that followed him entering.

Buuuuuuut unfortunately we can’t cater the entire world to the biggest idiots, if only for the safety of the less idiotic who might have a heart attack in the MRI and need to be quickly pulled out, or a piece of metal that snuck into their food and is now ripping out their insides.

In most situations where an emergency happens inside, quick reactions save lives, and locks slow reactions down to the slowest mechanism, which might be “I don’t have the right RFID badge, go find another person who has one or the guy inside dies”

how did it not throw up red flags all around letting this guy wear it around that machine.

He wasn’t allowed in the room.

His wife panicked in the MRI, he charged into the room he was told not to go Into.

Become ungovernable.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I don’t know of any 1st grade classes teaching financial literacy, nor high school classes focusing on how to play a recorder.

I did have a few weeks that focus on domestic finances in 8th grade. That almost nobody paid attention to. So there’s at least one school that did both 20 years ago…

I got detention for a week because when one of my classmates did this to me I hit him with mine.

No ragerts.

Nope, not me.

I’d like to think I’m funny though…

Well, I mean I DO technically have a YouTube channel that hasn’t posted since 2017 and only has a few battlefield 3/4 clips on it I wanted to show friends.

Which YouTube guy would I be?

Fun anecdote: a relative, without a hint of irony, goes on about how they deserve to be there because “they used to live there 2,000 years ago”

Apparently I’m an “asshole”, “woke” and “antisemitic” for bringing up native Americans…

Even a single drop of water raises the ocean.

I’m so glad the people around me who live nowhere near a field voted to kill field-to-solar projects around here, the factories and warehouses that went up where there used to be lovely views of the hills are much better. All that extra pollution and noise really adds something special to the day.
