it's flipping the script on the well-known phenomenon of appraisers turbo-making GBS threads on black families.

if you're black and you want to get anything close to the real value of your home pack up all your pictures and have a white friend pretend it's their home for the appraisal. People are seeing 25-35% differences on the same home just by swapping out the family pictures, lol.

sounds like the plot of an obscure Steve Martin film in like 1996

Have they tried collecting urine in a large number of stone urns for culture harvesting?

USA more like stone age at this rate, with some legacy high-tech MIC industries.

I can safely bag the USA because believe me there is nothing negative you can say about Australia that we don't already say here.

We took our cat to the vet for his rabies vaccine the other day and they casually dropped "sorry it's only the one year vaccine, we haven't been able to get ahold of the 3-year version for months now"

so medical supply chains still breaking apart

Welcome to some months ago, unfortunately. Even things that might be made nationally won't be because the "local" manufacturer is still highly reliant on imported components or goods.

I'm talking about human medicine too, not pets.

I'm being groomed for promotions but I'm getting apprehensive about them. Literally everything I'd be qualified for doesn't have any real responsibilities. Even the hiring managers give me a nonsensical paragraph when I ask them what the hell the job is lmao

Imposter syndrome is real. If you know your own fshortcomings just remember that's a sign you are actually aware of what you can do, what your weaknesses are and what you need to focus on. Anything you feel confident in will most likely actually be good.

Peter principle failures aren't aware of any of that and just cruise through life leaving wreckage 6 lanes wide until it potentially catches up. You aren't one of those (probably? you have this internal dilemma so I'm assuming not) so you'll be okay.

This is less impostor syndrome and more "I want a job where my boss can actually explain what I do and I have a tangible product of my work at the end of the day"

And the reality of corporate ladder-y jobs is eventually you get paid for judgement and decision making, not actually "working." Which feels awful to people with empathy and a capacity for self-reflection. Seeing other humans Actually Do Work while making less money and having shittier lives - it's not great unless you're a sociopath!

This is because there’s no profit in it. You can either give this one injection or give them a week of pills.

Honestly most patients opt for the pills so the demand is low and it’s less profitable so companies don’t want to make much of it.

I use it mainly for my homeless/very indigent population for whom even a $4 med like penicillin would be a hardship.
