Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

One thing to add, that haven't been thought to me in the CPR course.
It's fucking exhausting and you will get tired very soon. The training dummy doesn't require nowhere near as much force as a real person. To give you an example, it's quite common to crack or break a rib of the CPR recipient even if CPR is done right. That's how much force you have to use. Without the required force, your pushes won't reach the heart.
Make sure there is someone else who knows how to do CPR or at least is looking how you're doing it and can repeat that or follow your commands once you switch.
I've only had to give someone CPR once and I haven't been as tired in my whole life. No way the "I've been giving him CPR for 30 minutes..." You see on a TV screen is real. I felt like I'll need CPR myself after 3 minutes.
Dixit my CPR trainer:" He's already dead. You can't kill him more."
I was in a car accident while riding a bus. Nothing major but one person fell down and lost consciousness. We had to give CPR to him and while the driver was handling it well he needed help. I was 20 or 21 at the time so I volunteered and I wasn't using enough force because I was afraid I'll hurt the guy. I was especially holding back because he was like 80 years old or so.
The driver shouted at me to do it properly. "You're afraid you'll hurt him?! What's better, be hurt and alive or fucking dying?!" I fucked up but we managed to hold on with help of two others before help arrived.
Just for context.
Can you imagine being so tired, even CPR can't wake you up.
