Was this worse than Black Adam, because that was so bad it damaged a franchise’s stability.

You’ll be happy to hear the leaf was only bisecting his urethra.

I just wish we’d had the chance to work toward some common ground together. I really do believe we could have found a better way forward.

You still do. Life’s all about realizing that you won’t always be on equal footing, and sometimes you’ll have to make amends. There’s nothing wrong with letting your mistakes roll off your back; instead of digging an even deeper hole to save face. We all end up here at one point.

If I were you, my suggestion would be to be the bigger person and apologize to everyone. We all make mistakes occasionally, but we grow by taking accountability and making amends. There’s nothing wrong with tripping or falling; as long as we don’t let the reflexive fear of embarrassment take control of our better judgment.

I didn’t even consider it until I saw this post; who it was. That said, I think you handled the situation well, considering the circumstances. You were in the right, and I’m sorry to say that I missed the vote and didn’t get banned myself, haha.

Since Santa isn’t real, I would say the answer is a definitive, no.

Don’t you dare threaten me with any kind of immortality, lol. I’m looking forward to silence at some point in my life… I had recurring nightmares that I lived till 120 years old when I was younger.

I’ve never thought I was the main character, logic always suggested I was one of billions lol. But, I came close or technically died multiple times. I’m actually starting to worry I might be the luckiest man alive and it’s only if I keep -metaphorically- getting hit by lightning. 🤬

Most hospitals have more on staff for billing than nurses and doctors. It’s a sign the hospital system is far more interested in profits these days. Most of their staff is overworked due to not hiring enough nurses, which is likely intentional. Businesses are trying to see you can skate by with minimal workforce, why not give it a shot; it’s great for profit margins, until people start dying. I’m sure they figure that’s why they have insurance.

Likely. That said, it’s a crap thing to do. But, incidents like this also have started an overkill backlash against people who use AI for the simplest tasks who openly take no credit. I get AI takes away from them, but they are shooting themselves in the foot with the incessant need to bash/shame anything done with AI. Hell, I lost feeling in my entire right side of my body, so telling me to suck it up and to use MS Paint is borderline trolling and completely missing the flowers for the trees.

Punching their wives? At least the police in the US have a higher than average spousal abuse ratio.
