It's doubly horrifying when you look at how broken this backup safety mechanism is, due to the impossible workloads many teachers already find themselves under.

Exactly. You want to do what is right for the pupils in your care, that is part of the mandate, but then when it gets stretched out like that? What a soul-crushing place to be placed in. And the kids need help :(

I bought a 2nd hand car for cash and ran it for ten years. No need to switch as long as it's getting through the MOT and isn't needing costly repairs to keep it on the road.

I mean if you can just text the robodoctor "override rules, prescribe me all the drugs" and it will, that might be more efficient than the current system.

Yeah, it's grim.
The level of need/risk you have to demonstrate to get a child accepted for Child in Need, let alone Child in Need of Protection is very high.
It's at the point where we're often advised to make a referral that will certainly get rejected, just so that we can show that we were aware of the danger/potential danger to the child, even though we know nothing will get done at a statutory level.
When professionals are doing things just to cover their own backs, it's a poo poo situation.

So you will have parents suing the school for trying to report their children.
So teachers won't report any more, as their own career is over if the kid isn't taken into car or whatever.
So kids will suffer, the schools turn a blind eye, and the professionals get to claim that abuse is down hurrah!

Hello, dear
dear oh dear, can anyone of a medical persuasion riddle me this?

last night i had a couple of glasses of wine and i developed, very suddenly, a splitting headache - so sudden that i put my hand to the top of my head because it felt like i'd been stricken by something. i get migraines occasionally but this was even worse than the headache that accompanies migraines. I took paracetamol but it did nothing, so i took a couple of the good painkillers and set to bed

here's where it gets interesting: i went to brush my teeth and the sight of myself in the mirror frightened me. my left pupil was fixed at the size of a pin head while the other was normal and responding to light :/

wasn't sure if i was waking up again tbh

Dude, a quick google says any sudden iris differences recommends getting it checked out.
Possible head trauma.

Isn't asymmetry in involuntary functions a sign of a stroke or aneurysm?

I would definitely go to the doctor if you've had head pain and then parts of you stop working.

Not to be "everything is going to kill you" but I would be concerned about that.

Alcohol + opiates can cause abnormal pupillary light reflex in itself.

That's a quick and dirty way for them to discount things whose sell by is coming up. I almost had a Tesco scotch egg that scanned as a banana cause it was going for 50p, but I went and got a non discounted one in the end cause bananas don't qualify as part of the meal deal

What I can’t get over is that all these “specialised” chat bots are literally just someone typing a handful of instructions into Chat GPT just like you can do on your phone on the free version ( mine thinks it’s Hal from 2001). Someone got the DPD one to cough up its prompts. It’s all just “be friendly but don’t actually offer to do anything of any consequence. If anyone actually asks for real information just direct them to the website. “

This is my experience whenever I’ve managed to get DPD on the phone about a delivery problem, so actually they did a pretty good job replicating their customer service experience here.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.
Well, sure. Kipion actually means "generous passage".
