So what’s the point of accommodations like no or extra deadlines, that no employer would ever grant?

Just seems like a giant waste of everyone’s time.

The school year is more rigid and less flexible than a lot of workplaces - there's some number of students who get ill and need incompletes for a semester, who in a white collar workplace would've taken a few months of FMLA leave and gone back to work. Because the school year has a rigid schedule, this can either be handled as "you're fucked and you're out $25k with nothing to show for it" or it can be handled as incomplete classes with the ability to do the work a few months late and get a passing grade.

The main place where it all falls apart is the ongoing accommodations year after year, and the arms race, that has happened especially RE: extra time on exams.

Spoiler: Anecdote about extra time

I have a friend who convinced himself he had ADHD off TikTok, and went in for neuropsych testing where they gave him a diagnosis of slow processing speed that qualified him for double time on exams and the GRE. He used those test scores to get into a pure math PhD program, where he promptly discovered that if you're slow, you don't actually have enough hours in the week to TA and do research and take PhD level math classes and there's no way to accommodate that, so he dropped out.

That post is such a gold mine of self-unawareness. Anyone with a shred of rationality who has studied human biology and drug use at all would realize that after days awake on a stim binge, you'll come up with the world's most incredible ideas about whatever you fixate on, that are 100% not actual ideas and can't be replicated once you come down. But somehow she seems to think she was actually a supergenius in the exact timespan when she had abused her stimulant prescription.

I do think it's going to be hard for the hospital to discharge Vicki if she's making it hard to wean her off of O2 and she has no fixed address. That's not the kind of thing they can do. Can any hospital-experienced Kiwis tell us a little bit about their options here? In my non-hospital-experienced mind, I would think "maybe they can discharge her to some sort of adult protective services group home, or some kind of transitional housing program?" but I have no idea how any of that shit works. Please enlighten us!

They absolutely can just kick someone out of the hospital if they’re homeless. They did it to Daniel Larson and it ended up being one of the final nails in his coffin before he got locked up. He threatened to do a mass shooting on the hospital. Once someone has been discharged, they’re out.

Many hospitals have homeless camps nearby, and bus routes that go by the hospital usually have homeless people who ride the bus back and forth to get out of the elements.

Definitely; one confounding factor here was supplemental oxygen, and Vickie's desire to be helpless.

A homeless patient doesn't get to stay in the hospital until they find housing; eventually the cops will trespass them if necessary. However, someone who desaturates without supplemental oxygen can't be discharged without a plan to continue it. Same as someone who literally can't care for themself, and has evaluations substantiating that. The hospital will be motivated to find them somewhere to be that isn't the hospital, but that can take a while, and if you make a habit of discharging incompetent patients to the street there'll be some pretty damning news stories soon enough.

I wonder if Andy Ditch's story spreading far and wide, and the short shrift he was given by agencies sharing information, will have any bearing on Vicky and Co. Or if medical people are so used to grifters and liars now that it wouldn't have even touched the sides in terms of they already know / effecting their plans.

Makes me wonder how much more common all thsi munching and malingering is getting. It seems like the narcissistic victim mentality of the now, combined with social media ramping up the validation of the performer, has led to an all time high of these bullshitters, or if that's just confirmation bias of when I personally became really aware of it, as someone who doesn't work in that field.

I imagine it has gone up by a thousand fold. Being fake-disabled in 2025 isn't remotely the same as being fake-disabled in the not so distant past where you it could get you out of work but condemned you to a life of boredom and a strict health regiment. You could maybe read a book while lying around in bed and hope someone would drop by once in a while and maybe get you a new book. Even 20-30 years ago best you could pass the time with was exceptionally shitty daytime tv.
The modern muncher has gaming, streaming, social media, fast food etc and instead of being pitied, they're getting called stunning and brave. Many of them even have a sex life(not Vicky though). I imagine the amount of people who'd pick that instead of wageslaving is higher than it has ever been before.

I always found it interesting how many writers were born out of an illness (tuberculosis is always a big one) that kept them confined to a sick bed or clinic for a year or two. Eugene O’Neill is always a prime example. Basically being an invalid meant lots of times to read, which was pivotal change for some people but not for most who went bonkers being stuck sick in bed.

If internet service was prohibited the munchie population would virtually disappear overnight.

It's a miracle! She's out of the hospital, in housing, and has a new roommate. This behavior has laugh-track comedy show potential. What a goofy pair of sillies, a fat blob on oxygen and a scented-candle-lighting-ableist! Can't wait for the "exploding apartment building" episode.

 

[glioblastoma multiforme]

God forbid roommate wants to live in a nice environment accentuated by soft candle light. They are in for a shock within days given Vicky's inability to clean. Its amazing how much filth one person doing literally nothing to clean up after themselves can create.

 

[rusty shackleford 1]

I’ve known some messy housekeepers and some clean housekeepers alike, I’ve never known a “messy house candle lighting” kind of person though. What an exciting premise for the new season lol.

 

[Sperghetti]

I wonder if it was a scented candle to cover up the smell of unwashed Vicky?

 

[merrybrandybuck]

Vicky's least insane co-Munchers are giving her advice on how to avoid homelessness for the rest of your life in the comments

KEK
That actually explains why some fucker is lighting a candle in a small new York apartment in the July heat.
Bet it's a scented one.

Housemate pounding the streets at 8am tomorrow shopping for nag champa as a matter of urgency

 

[Ass Dan]

Is there actual confirmation she's out of the hospital? Or could this be a new hospital roommate? (Not that scented candles are generally allowed in hospitals.)

Someone getting all bath and body works up in the hospital is going to have a sprinklery security guard surprise. Not a thing anywhere.

I am now firmly in the camp of "Vicky was fabricating some or all of her hospital journey from a whole cloth."

Why is it that every ebeggar with seventeen GFMs and a link to their paypal every other day also has $100+ earbuds? Are Mac retards just too retarded to realize that you can buy other wireless earbuds that aren't over $100, or does Apple engage in anticompetitive practices to keep people buying their slop? I don't know the answer to this because I don't allow Apple products in my house.

 

[Greedy Fly]

I assume she's still doctor shopping out in Nassau, and having to move ever-eastward in her search. 43 miles should put her near the NYU Langone in Patchogue.

The newer airpods are very good for active noise cancellation, enough to use on an airplane without having to go for the over-the-ear ones. I'd be using them too if I was stuck in a noisy hospital room.

The fact that Vicky was using them in hospital while "dying" is very funny though.

or does Apple engage in anticompetitive practices to keep people buying their slop?

Yes. Apple bluetooth products will pair more easily and conveniently with iPhones and will sync across devices, whereas third-party hardware won't. iOS also deliberately locks out some other features on third-party earbuds so you only get them if you're pairing with Apple products. I think they're currently getting sued for this (and a lot of other things)

No, you can buy earbuds, headphones, etc., in all configurations, from $10 to $500+ that pair perfectly fine with apple devices and sound fine-to-fantastic. I have never in the last couple years had an issue with third-party ear things pairing and working with my iPhone, with full ANC and other features.

I assume she's still doctor shopping out in Nassau, and having to move ever-eastward in her search. 43 miles should put her near the NYU Langone in Patchogue.

I think her point was supposed to be that they were stolen and now reside in the thief's, or another person's home.

I'm not talking about basic functioning and sound, I'm talking about smooth synching across devices and fancy extra features like personalized spatial audio. This article goes into it a bit. Obviously non-Apple products still work fine, but there's enough added friction/inconvenience to make a lot of people just stick to all-Apple setup.

(Edit: I have no personal feelings about that EU lawsuit, and I'm an Apple fag myself, so I'm not trying to argue about whether it's genuine anticompetitive behavior. I was just providing some context for non-Apple fags about why airpods are so popular)

Interesting. Has not occurred to me to get too exercised about downloading an app for a third-party headphone or at most a 1-2 second delay to connect. But I guess I get it. I probably have been around long enough that a minor delay feels pretty seamless, compared to times past!
