  • It’s bad everywhere, but what’s scariest to me is the stories my girlfriend tells me about the hospitals she works in. She is a traveling radiographer and gets to visit some of the sketchier hospitals across the country. There seems to be a running theme of “we don’t have enough people” and a few bootlickers enabling it with working 90+ hour weeks. Every time you see in the news where a nurse accidentally screws something up, there is a running trail of them being over worked and short staffed. They pay my gf 3-5 times what they pay their xray tech staff, AND pay her room and board, AND a huge percentage on top of that to the contract house. The ineptitude of your run of the mill hospital administration is just…scary.


  • The BBB is a non-profit company that only has as much power and influence as given them by the public. Tell me, do you check the BBB often to decide on how you spend your money? No one else does either! The BBB is about as toothless as they come. FCC like you said…nothing to do with this. FDA would be who you would contact if the product required recall such as was ‘adulterated’ and made you sick. Or I guess if you could prove the company didn’t follow FDA GMP’s. I guess if you want to try to tattle you could find out what quality and food safety schemes they follow. This is ‘sometimes’ proudly displayed on their website. You are looking for SQF, AIB, BRC as those are the big 3 GFSI schemes right now. Lol I am giving you waaay too much info probably. Anyway…there isn’t a manager you can ask to speak to on this one. It’s report it to them, or possibly their certifying GFSI body (which will probably get you nowhere).







  • “It’s never the answer because we can never be 100% correct.” The only argument I partially concede to. We as humans abuse systems to achieve our own goals, and ‘truths’ are all a matter of perspective. “And the government putting innocent people to death is horrific.” Hard disagree. They do it all the damn time and at least it would be under the guise of justice in this case.

    “It’s also more expensive so the ONLY reason to put people to death is to satisfy bloodthirsty vengeance.” You seem pretty biased here. Any time someone tries to debate a point with the words ‘only’ or similar but then base it off perspective, is a flawed debate.


  • That sounds like a system issue and a cause of groups attempting to make the death penalty less attractive. Once there is irrefutable proof that a horrific crime such as this has been committed, there is no argument thus far that has convinced me death isn’t the most logical punishment. I’ve heard them all, for…a long time. The only thing that keeps me from the 100% point is that, like I said, humans have a history of abusing it when it comes to minority’s or the ‘irrefutable proof’ part.









  • I’ve noticed this too and have been trying to keep an eye on why. I have noticed that when I have quite a bit of + to the roll (dex, sleight, spell bonuses.) and it’s a 10 or below, it doesn’t even light up the thieves kit as being used. When it’s a higher requirement of 15+ OR I don’t use the spell bonus, or I use my main character who has the dex bonus but not the sleight of hand…it doesn’t use it on lower requirements. My guess based off this was that if I blew the requirements away (5 or 10 maybe over the requirement?) it wouldn’t even bother using one. It’s all conjecture though, but that’s the trend I’ve seen since I started paying attention.
