non-feasance

Read a random definition: informed consent

A quick definition of non-feasance:

Non-feasance is when someone doesn't do something they promised to do for their boss. This is different from doing a bad job (misfeasance) or doing something wrong or illegal (malfeasance).

A more thorough explanation:

Non-feasance

The failure of an employee to complete a task that they agreed to do for their employer. This is different from "misfeasance," which is doing a poor job, and "malfeasance," which is doing something illegal or wrong.

  • An employee who fails to show up for work without calling in sick is guilty of non-feasance.
  • A security guard who falls asleep on the job and fails to monitor the premises is guilty of non-feasance.

These examples illustrate non-feasance because in both cases, the employee did not fulfill their obligation to their employer. In the first example, the employee did not show up for work, which is a task they agreed to do. In the second example, the security guard did not monitor the premises, which is a task they were hired to do.

Someone told me a while ago that I was probably molested as a kid because I don’t really have any clear memories of my childhood. But I don’t think I was.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
19:12
Yeah, my life really does flow in about 5 years periods.
19:12
My crypto also flows in 5 day epochs too.
