That's also true. It's less of a problem in pedestrian-heavy walkable cities and towns. But in the average American city or town covered in stroads where car is king, it's a big problem.
Humans are bad at it, too. If you've ever ridden a bike or motorcycle, you quickly learn that car and truck drivers simply aren't looking for 2 wheelers. And therefore they don't see them. (I think this reinforces your point).
Don't many game engines kinda sorta do this?
Ghostery. Protects privacy. I like the UI. Just wish it had a working image search.
I thought communing with Satan is how we get pregnant. But, I admit I didn't pay much attention in Communism class.
Can you do trains instead? Having ridden thousands of miles in busses I can tell you it gets extremely cramped and uncomfortable, and this gets worse the longer you're on it. Sleeper trains in the US and Canada are really nice. Not sure about Europe.
The weird window has shifted. Having purple hair and a nose ring used to be "very weird". Now nobody blinks an an eye at that stuff.
But being attracted to your own daughter (and admitting it publicly) and fucking a couch (and admitting it publicly) are still considered very weird.
Another fella who sleeps in boxer briefs, I see.
Jack Chick vibes.
I'll also add that I very much appreciate nurse practitioners. I have to go in every 6 months for routine "old man maintenance" checkups, and there's really no need for me to see a doctor for these types of visits. You're filling a much-needed role. (And I'm sure you do a lot more than just "old man maintenance" consults, LOL).
You're right, it's a complex issue that my bullet point just kind of touched on (and lacks nuance). In many ways, patients are required to navigate their own health care and be their own champion and advocate It gets messy when we encounter misinformation that tells us what we want to hear, but isn't based on solid science.
Thank you, you bring up some important points. Malpractice lawsuits and insurance are significant problems, too.
In my limited anecdotal experience as a patient of (and support staff for) doctors I have met some very compassionate and capable doctors and nurses. I don't see health care providers as being the problem with our system. It's primarily the private health insurance companies and PBMs. They are the main reasons why we can't have nice things.
