If you want to be able to help people with asthma/reactive airway conditions who can’t breathe after tear gas, Primatene Mist inhalers are available over-the-counter and are better than nothing.

If you want to stop extremity hemorrhage, read up on CAT tourniquet use, get some, and practice with them a bit (don’t tighten the windlass, or they won’t work as well next time).

If you want to get irritant agents off of skin/eyes, use plain tap water, lots of it. Do NOT add anything to it.

If you want to treat cold injuries (frostbite), you need to know if you can get the patient off scene and into long-term warming. Do NOT thaw someone’s frozen hands/fingers if they are going to immediately freeze them again. Repeated freezing causes far more injury.

Wrap frozen fingers/toes in a clean dressing, and protect them.

For warming, use lukewarm water or body heat if possible. Hot air can cause burns if you aren’t VERY careful. Rewarming is extremely painful. Be ready.

If someone is shot in front of you, first of all, seek cover. If it is safe to render aid, your first order of business is hemorrhage control. Bleeding extremity? Tourniquet now, re-asses later. Extremity wound you can’t tourniquet? Wound packing. Chest, abdomen,or neck wound? Chest seal/occlusive dressing.

The key to combat medicine is speed. Act decisively, then get the casualty out of the hot/warm zone and to somewhere you can re-assess them.

What does AI do to freedom of speech?

I just realised, that YouTube has an AI system which removes comments on my channel, that it deems "potentially inappropriate".

Some clearly illegal comments prove that moderation is necessary — I even found a couple of death threats. But there is A TON of false positives.

Attached are four examples of comments which the AI removed. There are hundreds of these, and it really bothers me, that someone's legal free speech is suppressed by our AI overlords.

The reason why Trump is pandering to Putin is that The Russian dictator has compromising videos of him being peed on by Russian whores in 1987 in an Intourist hotel.@MynameisInigoMontoya4 9 days ago

8:54 Thank you for calling out the pussies at the BBC, but I am willing to bet that this was somehow encouraged by the British government and/or Monarchy to maintain positive relationships with the leader of America.

Trump is a goofy old queen. Every time I see him talk, I see an old hag with a bad wig and shitty makeup. Even his decorating style is that of an old woman.
He is a pathetic, old, snowflake queen.
How in the hell does anybody look at him and see a leader?

Once he dies of another stroke, the Republican party won't be able to decide who to make the next top cunt.

……不行,停不下来
我看到几个伊朗人的IG账号,其中有一个年轻女生,可能在欧洲,学生,妆容精致,漂亮的尖头鞋,美食,日落灯,在旅行时的镜头里微笑
但一切都在12月底戛然而止。她前一条post还是漂亮的小圣诞树,下一条开始,每一条,都是,伊朗,奔跑的人群,横幅,呼吁关注,打印传单,文宣海报,英文的一篇一篇的解释和呼吁,愤怒

政治抑郁是什么。政治抑郁是你发现某个位高权重的傻叉轻轻一覆手就能够让你的生活被冲毁坍塌。你出走异乡,熟练使用另一门语言,你以为不会变的和其他人一样的普通早晨,其实不会变的只有日出。身后的影子追你,但你面前只有升起的太阳。你只有太阳。

You don't need superspy-level OPSEC in order to protest fascism. But protest does involve risk. My goal when I teach people about digital privacy/security is to make sure that people understand what risks they're taking so they can make appropriate mitigations while still accomplishing their goals.

haben mich einen Großteil meines Lebens begleitet und egal wie trendy sie waren, ich habe sie immer geliebt. Leider habe ich sie viel zu selten live gesehen, zuletzt auf ihrer Abschiedstour in . Aber versteht irgendjemand, warum immer noch Platten erscheinen? & die anderen sollten doch genug Kohle haben, um nicht jede Kuh melken zu müssen?
