This was supposed to be unrebloggable, but I was flying into a gamer rage at the antique store because someone was wearing too much Victoria's Secret Love Spell body spray and it gave me a migraine.
in drawing class yesterday we were doing a critique for our self-portraits, and one girl, who is like the coolest chillest stoner girl type imaginable, had drawn herself at the dentist holding that thing that sucks the water or of your mouth, and one person was like “what’s that you’re holding?” and she said “it’s mister thirsty.” and we all sat there for a second processing, and one boy said “…did you just call that thing mister thirsty?” and she was like “yeah, is that not what you call it?” and everyone shouted NO and she was like “i don’t know what you guys are on. it’s called mister thirsty.”
I am an innocent bear living in the woods so this doesn’t affect me AT ALL. I sleep peacefully with my honey in my cave and I eat fish in river.

As a computer guy: This is what happens when you have too much security. It reaches a tipping point and then suddenly you have none. Security at the cost of convenience comes at the cost of security.
This is true of so many things in healthcare. Example: our software is designed to automatically alert the doctor if a patient’s vital signs are critically out of range. If someone has a blood pressure of 200/130, the doc gets a pop-up box that they have to acknowledge before doing anything else. It makes sense, in our setting.
But then some mega-genius upstairs realized something: the system was only alerting for critical vital signs, but not for all vital signs that could possibly be bad. Like, yeah, 200/130 is potentially life-threatening, but 130/90 is above ideal and can have negative effects on health. Should the doctors be allowed to just ignore something that could negatively affect a patient’s health? Heavens no!
So now the system generates a pop-up for any vital signs that are even slightly abnormal. A pressure of 120/80 (once considered textbook normal, now considered slightly high) will create the pop-up. We have increased our vigilance!
Well, no, what we’ve actually done is train doctors to click through a constant bombardment of pop-ups without looking. We’ve destroyed their vigilance and made it much easier for them to accidentally skim past life-threatening vital signs.
But you can’t tell that to management, because you’d have to confess that you are a flawed human with limited attention resources. They’d tell you “well, all the other doctors take every abnormal vital sign seriously, it sounds like you’re being negligent.” And if you’re smart, you back down before you start telling the big boss all about your habit of ignoring critical safety alerts.
The end result is exactly the same as if we had no alerts at all, except with more annoying clicking.
The other issue is that most computer security is designed by people who will never work the jobs if those using their security systems.
No nurse has the mental bandwidth to remember 15 different passwords to 15 different computers. They have to remember which patients need what, who’s getting what medication when, who’s allergic to penicillin, and a million other things. Of course the passwords are going to be written on a piece of paper by the computers, they need to move fast.
My college apartment building made their fire alarms super sensitive, with the idea being that it would stop people from smoking in the units. What it actually did was set the damn things off all the time while people were cooking. So most people in the building just put cling film over their smoke alarms to stop them from reacting to regular cooking and would just take it off for an inspection.
Their mock election was so realistic the school even played the role of the CIA

They stole my labor for profit. They did a capitalism to me on a communism meme. I can't decide if that's hilarious or infuriating.
