Do you get immediate medical treatment after, and is it free?

But isn't the point of crash bar locks that just the act of being crushed against the door will force it open? The only thing you have to do to open it is push on it or be pushed into it. Of course that won't help you when you fall as the door swings open and get trampled, but it's better than everyone burning to death.

Acute subdural hematoma is usually secondary to a head injury, such as from a fall. In that case it'd be covered, right?

I agree with your point, especially "Educated feminists know that poor mental health for men only hurt their situation," but it's really frustrating to be told "This isn't real feminism" when the harm misandrists do is very real. It feels like there's a double standard - when men talk about the problems misguided or undereducated feminists cause, they're told to be specific in their language and not to generalize. In the same breath, people who at minimum appropriate the feminist banner do a lot of generalization about men. You see it all over this site and in pop feminist circles, and being told "Well you can't criticize feminism just because some people do it badly" leads to a lot of resentment.

It also doesn't feel fair to say "Well they were being vague". A lot of the harm perpetuated by patriarchy, misandry and other elements in society is amorphous. A lot of people don't have an acute moment of pain - they internalize things over time, or have lots of small incidents. Getting hurt and being told to man up, being told that men don't belong in queer spaces, or that all men are pigs.

Looks like your spoilers aren't working - spoilers on lemmy are three : on either side of the spoiler.

The article: Rural people aren't just racist, homophobic assholes - they're struggling with apocalyptic economic destruction, constant discrimination and hatred, and have fallen through the cracks of society while society stomps on their face.

The comments: RURAL PEOPLE ARE BAD, FUCK RURALS

I guess you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them read the article...

I will say, though, that as much as rural people get fucked out of their votes in most situations, they are vastly over-represented in others. For example, each vote in the electoral college for California represents 703,000 people. In Montana, on the other hand, each electoral vote represents closer to 250,000 people. There's a strong sense among city dwellers that the rural folk are dragging the entire country into hell just because they're suffering under capitalism - and they aren't wrong, in some sense. America's inconsistent, patchwork electoral system definitely contributes greatly to the urban / rural conflict.

Because people just show up at rush hour for shits and giggles, and not because that's their non-negotiable lunch break or their trip home. This is a stupid move.

Even those can still have some benefit - it can act as a networking opportunity for people to meet each other and plan other events / get involved in other ways, it can give a morale boost to people considering giving up, etc.

Same, it usually whacked about half the attempted majors into another major. In the first half of senior year. They kept wondering why their program wasn't growing much even though similar colleges' programs were growing like mold on a dorm shower curtain. I enjoyed the course and never used the primary skills taught in it again.
