  • I see the name around but TIL the US has an 84 year-old senator. There’s terrorists, assassins, international bad agents, etc. but then there’s a simple fall that’s by far the highest risk of being life-threatening for a critical role.

    There’s “unfit for the job”, but the technical term is invalidity, where a person’s medical or health status disqualify them from performing the duties of the position. Usually things like being alive and able are considered minimum requirements of political positions. Things like a high risk of not being able to perform basic duties due to a woopsie do not fulfill the minimum requirements of political positions.

    While I assume the US has some form of medical regulation for political positions and this guy got cleared, the same regulation should now be invalidating his clearance for obvious reasons.




  • That’s the thing I think I’ll die never understanding. I really don’t see the point of being on your death bed with plenty of leftovers.

    Some people have a really backwards understanding on the core philosophy of “being successful in life”. Like, he seems to lack the ability to grasp the literal meaning of that concept and so will always be doomed to fail at achieving anything with it. It just makes sense to understand he has a psychological deficit. I’d be empathetic if he weren’t such a catastrophic burden to everyone.




  • I have low blood pressure and am fairly tall so this happens most times I get up. Some times I black out completely and hit the deck.

    A doctor said it’s a good thing because by the time I’m old, my blood pressure will be like a normal adult and risk of stroke will be basically nothing. I just got to make it there without splitting my head open.
