and you might very well listen to someone shoot themselves in the face or throw down 50+ tablets - you will be the last person that they ever talk to.

Wouldn't it be a better idea to call 911 or poison control tbh?

Seems like it's pretty easy for a medical facility not to share and reuse needles. Maybe the people working there should be thrown in prison.

It's pretty common for medical facilities to reuse certain instruments

Not needles. There are disposable parts of most instruments which are never to be reused. Doing so basically makes the people who reused them responsible in this case for murder, or whatever knowingly infecting people with HIV is considered.

Surgery center administrator Betty McCabe says the exposure was due to deficiencies in infection control involving the cleaning of instruments and injection of medications.

something else that I neglected to mention: learning how to do your own research is extremely valuable, and while a university is not the only place where you can do that, it does force you to do that, so it's a pretty major step up in that regard

and that skill is worth $40k?

it is for some people

but university doesn't have to be $40k, and there's no good reason why it should be

But it is. That's what people are currently paying. We aren't talking about hypotheticals here

The days of paying for college to follow your passion are done. You can get every single ounce of information you'd learn from college online or in a book when it comes to a subject like History. Don't encourage that shit, you're just freely advertising a highly exploitative industry. Go to college to learn how to do an in-demand job.


That never has been the purpose of academia, and the push to make it so is extremely detrimental to the culture of academia.

So academia isn't meant to be useful?

well history needs to be preserved to capture human's culture. History degree students help them I guess in reserving the knowledge and sometimes discovering unknown history.

But as I said, all of those history books are already written

it's much more fun to get that fix in your personal time on your own


You mean a hobby. Reading something in your spare time isn't exactly a passion.

Well thats all a history major does, dont they? Read books written by other people and copying them


There are always new things being discovered through research.
Expanding understandings of the past.
Creating new things within our culture. Music, television, novels, non-fiction, documentaries, films, etc...

You do realize historians have other jobs, right? Like research and writing books. If someone loves history, why wouldn't they study history? That's the problem with society. It's not all about making bank. Sometimes people follow their passion
