You recall incorrectly. It was a check for GI bleed prior to anticoagulant administration prior to cardioversion. They were literally running through pre-procedure tests in order to do the standard treatment for AF.

Ah domino-theory. A logical fallacy given a different name in order to seem more likely.

No. No, you can’t. The chatbot you’re talking to isn’t being fed info from every conversation happening with it. It’s only taught from its training data and what is in your current conversation. Once you’re done with your session, your data MIGHT be used as training data, but it definitely won’t if you got the bot to break.

So, you’re actually just using an LLM to cosplay being destructive to it. Isn’t that neat?

Caught what? Minding their own business?

Alright. Here’s an argument why crypto doesn’t do that.

Today: Me Payment processor Vendor

Crypto tomorrow: Me Payment processor Crypto Crypto fees Payment processor Vendor

So not only am I paying the payment processor twice as much for the interaction (it doesn’t matter which processor, since the issue at hand is their monopoly) thus rewarding their censorship, I also wasted a whole bunch more money for the privilege.

Okay, so. First comment made this argument, to which I fired back that I’m not interested because:

Crypto is not a currency Is an environmental disaster Has massive deflation

And since this thread has begun we’ve changed that to:

Is not a currency (you ceded this when you said that transactions would be in USD, just with the crypto as the value carrier) Are mostly environmental disasters Has massive deflation (you ceded this again with your transactional argument)

Damn, your powers of persuasion are beyond my comprehension. /s

Seriously, the fuck are we doing here? You just wanna talk about nothing? I rather think daisies are pretty. What’re your thoughts?

Cool. So why would I ever want that? Why would I willingly buy a crypto to pay for a transaction when doing so is always detrimental to me over the person who I am paying? I’ll spend more than the amount of debt I have (thanks to various fees) in order to give the person I’m buying from an asset that’s more likely to gain value than lose. Instead of a dollar, a thing made to do the actual job of a currency that everyone already has and accepts.

Deflation is not relevant for a transaction

What are you trying to say with this? Cause I’m stuck between the very literal and wildly confusing.

I will say, regardless of your further explanation, that deflation makes transactions less likely to happen, which is the whole point of a currency to begin with. Would you rather pay a debt to a friend off with dollars or a cryptocoin? Cause my money is that most people would say the dollars since the crypto could grow, whereas the dollar is always shrinking. A speculative asset is not something most people would give away like they would money.

Slur requires a group of disparaged people to whom the slur is targeted. Beep-boops with no intelligence ain’t fucking people.

Oh cool. Minor environmental disasters wrapped in explosive deflation.

… is this something that anyone can parse? I’m trying to decide if this commenter needs medical attention

I’m cool with not trying the money that isn’t money but instead is an environmental disaster wrapped in explosive deflation.

Medicare Advantage != Medicare

One is a for-profit health insurance robbing a publicly funded service, the other is the service being robbed.

Why are there pipes (“|”) in the text? It’s throwing me
