Not a surgery, there was a tube in her chest...

@@nikkiofthevalley Well, technically ... Anything to do with a CL is serious, as, since it more or less is _directly_ linked to the heart, any risk of infection has to be mitigated against. Unlike a IV, you have to have either a Nursing Practitioner, at least, or a doctor, on constant hand, to ensure the direct transfusion goes without a hitch, and aseptic techniques are complied with. So, whilst not directly surgery, it does require a higher than usual level of medical care, especially using experienced staff who know exactly what they are doing ...

Oh god, that's brutal.

the only problem i have is hypercholesterolemia(super common). I don't eat too much cuz I feel i don't have too, then when my anxiety likes to be all "wippity woppity", my body just decides either: E AT E V E R Y THI N G YO U S E E, or, "stop stop, you shouldn't eat the next 15 hours(its relative tho)". Sometimes i lose so many pounds that my bras are literally too loose to me to wear it, even if i have medium breasts (normally drops sweetly to 32 or less). Then, my body just decides: " Oop, made a mistake hehe" And my body starts do gain weight more until i return to normal. I really don't get too many pounds after this to be chubby, but my mom tries to force me to get chubby, but no matter how I try, my body most of the times doesn't let me pass more then 47kg, if it passes, after some weeks will drop down again. The healthy look that I've ever had was when i had 66kg. It was a good time. Did get nauseous somewhat? Yes. Was it worthy? Of course!

Former Help desk agent here. In my country the service must provide technical support if the customer can pass the security check (we need it for the administration) and if the solution does not cross the GDPR regulations and money (which obviously the subscriber would pay for) by law the service must provide assistance - if the customer is willing to assist as well. Unfortunately for cancelling something it is a hard process, as I had to forward these people to the department, as they are obliged to provide a letter of authority or official papers and as my partner's grandpa have died during COVID and his grandma is still grieving and dealing with services to be on her name, it lacks emphaty - still, don't forget that it is not the agent's decision, we would love to help, my heart goes and aches for customers having difficult times and being mistreated, but policies tie our hands and we don't wanna lose our jobs in a collapsing economy (I live in Hungary, feel free to ask further questions :))

Also, as many companies are more open minded and realizing they have disabled customers, they usually provide at least the possibility for the customer to deal with administration in person (cancellation and subscription cannot be made with POA)

@@alpyki2588 Because we'd assume that having a family member present would be enough? Why should someone have to pay another company money just to cancel a subscription? Sounds like an ADA violation to me.

Not to mention, in America you could argue ADA rights and get the company into *serious* liability issues for not reasonably accommodating someone with a disability (only allowing subscriptions to be canceled over the phone, not allowing a family member to assist them)

I had a friend with similar issues. His name is gender neutral, but VERY heavy feminine leaning. it's similar to, but not, Kelley. So... Half the time when he calls, he has to escalate, because "You're clearly a man, and no parent would name their son Kelley, that's a girls name!"

@@iamlordstarbuilder5595 have you ever seen closed toe sandals?

Kinda how they don't let you roam junkyards barefoot. Huge liability issue.

In that case, it should have been a "no open-toed shoe" rule, and not a "No open-toed SANDAL" rule.

@StarBird I totally agree

Agreed, came to say just such and just liked yours instead. Open toed shoes can cause a safety issue if you need to evacuate the building quickly. It's hard to write by laws for one type of open toe shoe (a flip-flop not safe to run in) or another, so it's a blanket rule of no open toes for all.

Anything could happen that would make your open toes a liability for the school. Say there's a nail sticking out somewhere that slashes your feet open because you're in sandals or flip flops, the school would be liable for that. They just do it to cover their asses.

It’s a weird rule to have at a normal high school, but in math/science center schools that have a lot of lab classes, it definitely makes a lot more sense.

It was a rule at my old elementary school because it was grades 3 to 6 and 9 year olds aren’t the safest, you could wear open toe shoes but you couldn’t go on the blacktop or the field/playground with them on

Books... Bags... Other people’s feet... Rolling equipment carts... Cafeteria... There’s all sorts of health and safety reasons that open-toe shoes - and technically open-backed shoes like crocks - violate.

also australian, we don't have to turn our cameras on if we don't want to. it is preferable for some teachers as it makes it easier for them to teach and feel more comfortable, but some teachers don't even turn their cameras on either. i generally put my camera on, but it depends on the class and how i am feeling that day.

I had one classmate who attended while sitting in his living room on the sofa, because that was the only seat in the house that was comfortable and had the ability to have his laptop and books on some variety of table-like surface in front of him. Others attended in whatever clothing - or lack thereof - they would wear when at home, because who cares if nobody sees. And nobody did see, because they kept their cameras (and mics) off, until one teacher went on mat leave and had a long-term sub come in, who demanded that everybody turn on their cameras and mics so she could be sure everyone was there and paying attention. Well, suddenly we had about a dozen people in pyjamas, half a dozen topless guys, one topless girl, and someone with his grandma in the background showing up. Everyone was called unprofessional and made to change (off-camera, of course). The guy in his living room with grandma in the background was made to move to a different location where he would have privacy, like his bedroom. So he did for next class, once he got a setup in there that'd work. Next class, he turned on his camera to reveal a wall filled with buck-naked anime girls and furries in various mating positions. There weren't any regulations on what could be in the background of a person's physical location, only on zoom virtual backgrounds. Even so, he was made to move again. Bathroom: nope. Only bathroom in the house. Half-basement: nope. No sound insulation, the teacher was drowned out by the sound of the highway behind his house. Attic: insufficient internet. Everywhere else: shared space or occupied by working-from-home parents who actually needed to be in a private room.
