@GhostOnTheHalfShell Whenever people become over reliant on a technology system, human factors #psych calls it “over-reliance.” It means trusting the system to do what you expect it to do when the system is not capable of it. There is also “under reliance” when a person continues to do something manually even if the machine is fully capable. Usually #psychologists are talking about complicated systems used in aircraft autopilots, or monitoring nuclear reactors — systems where the consequences of failure are severe. Lots of training helps, as does experience, but even training of experts must happen regularly or over-reliance occurs. Users become complacent — they over trust — and either don’t remember or discount the risk. That is what is happening now with the #AI products.

The image was both #blasphemous & #idolatrous - we're supposed to worship #Trump as a god, now? He thinks he has the power to heal people? The #psychiatrists & #psychologists who have diagnosed him with #narcissistic #personality #disorder have got it spot-on.

TITLE: ‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans
URL: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/16/va-doctors-refuse-treat-patients"Doctors at Department of #Veterans Affairs ( #VA ) hospitals nationwide could refuse to treat unmarried veterans and Democrats under new hospital guidelines imposed following an executive order by Donald Trump."
"The new rules, obtained by the Guardian, also apply to #psychologists, dentists and a host of other occupations. They have already gone into effect in at least some VA medical centers."
"Medical staff are still required to treat veterans regardless of race, color, religion and sex, and all veterans remain entitled to treatment. But individual workers are now free to decline to care for patients based on personal characteristics not explicitly prohibited by federal law."
"Language requiring healthcare professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics and marital status has been explicitly eliminated."
...
"They 'seem to open the door to #discrimination on the basis of anything that is not legally protected', said Dr Kenneth Kizer, the VA’s top healthcare official during the Clinton administration. He said the changes open up the possibility that doctors could refuse to treat veterans based on their “reason for seeking care – including allegations of #rape and #sexualassault – current or past political #partyaffiliation or #politicalactivity, and personal 'behavior such as alcohol or marijuana use'."
...
"Similarly, the bylaw on 'decisions regarding medical staff membership' no longer forbids VA hospitals from discriminating against candidates for staff positions based on national origin, sexual orientation, marital status, membership in a labor organization or 'lawful political party affiliation'."

UPDATE: 8 janvier 2025 I just happened to see the putz (the one my friend dumped in 2022) across the street. He didn't see me. He was walking alone. He should STAY being alone (fucking putz)
Below, is a 2024 video from the #filmmaker of the #doku (reboosted ⬆️ ), #AlettaMeijer.
Also, the terms 'sociopath', 'psychopath' and whatnot are updated to #ASPD #AntiSocialPersonailtyDisorder for reasons that #psychologists on Mastodon are welcomed to chime in and explain.
#dv #ToxicRelationships affect all genders, all backgrounds.
