Borderlands The Pre-Sequel 2?
Borderlands The Sequel Pre-Sequel?

I want to find a good name for a Borderlands filler between 2 and 3.

Here's why a doctor would rather abide by ethic rules to avoid getting sued:
- you don't lose money to lawyers, that let's be honest are fucking lawyers, and aren't cheap
- you don't lose money in compensations to the victim
- your malpractice insurance premium doesn't increase to ridiculous amounts
- your job isn't put in jeopardy on account that you're now seen as a liability
- your reputation isn't tarnished
- your clients don't start avoiding you, cause they don't trust you anymore
- you don't lose potential new clients because of bad marketing through word of mouth, or worse your case appearing in the news

Overall a doctor understands that it servers him better in the long run to abide by the basic ethic rules established in the field. But hey, some people are just that stupid that they don't understand some basic things, and can't comprehend that others think farther than 5 minutes into the future.

It doesn't even matter if your doctor cares about you or not, he knows very well that it is in his best interest to act like he cares about your well being, because if he doesn't, his career won't last very long.

Some people have a really bad understanding of risk assessment... which by itself is not the bad part. The bad part is that they lack self awareness, and don't understand that other people are better at it.

Gaming became cancer the second publishers realized they can push updates the same way Windows does.

Choose the lesser evil

People still not understanding the basic principles of vaccines, almost 3 years after the start of a pandemic, makes my brain hurt.

Do I need to start asking doctors if they took the Hippocratic oath when I'm sick?

@Awoo it used to be somewhere between a 1 or 2 but after my wreck and subsequent brain damage it's now a 5. However, I can still describe everything as if I were seeing it.

The best way I can describe it is all the data is still there, just the rendering engine is broken.

Sort of like how a computer still knows the geometry of everything, what colour things are, how the physics interacts with things, the locations and orientations of everything, etc. in a video game even if it's not actually being rendered or you just have the screen turned off.

In a sense it's like my perspective has changed from being an observer to the computer actually running the simulation.

I've noticed it has been gradually changing my perspective on a lot of things. I'm gradually becoming more analytical. I care less about how a situation looks and more about the actual data so if a situation "looks" promising or like it's going in the right direction but the actual numbers say otherwise, the numbers "paint" a much more "vivid" "picture" to me now.

I guess you could say since I'm no longer an observer in my own mind and now the actual machine running my mind I've broken free of the matrix. It's also causing me to be much less susceptible to propaganda.

I get the hate for Alex Jones, while I don't feel the same, I understand it and can sympathize.
But I just can't agree with an obvious case of a witch hunt and destroying one man to threaten everyone else to behave.
