Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Rules


  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

  7. No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

Height and Weight is actually useful for medical purposes in emergencies. You don't want to be given too much or too little of a blood transfusion.

If its critical to be precise, no doctor is relying on the numbers on th license.

And if its not, then can do what the rest of the world does, or what they do for anyone who doesn't have a license.

If it's critical, you don't have time to take them to a weighing machine and measuring them.

It's also why most licenses have blood type listed.

in the US they will always run a test to confirm blood type before starting an infusion

If it's an emergency they'll run O- because there isn't time for that test, and if there's no O- they'll go based off info

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 hours ago

ah, I didn't know about this - it does look like O- is used (and sometimes O+ if risk assessment allows when O- blood is not available).

I'm also reading there are rapid tests used in emergencies, too.

Which states have blood types on ID? I haven't seen that

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

I don't remember which states, but some countries do / did. El Salvador and Japan I believe are some. Finland doesn't, but that's because our ID can be scanned to get our medical info if needed, and we have Kela cards anyway as well even if you don't have ID that do the same
