Wow, calling it a "wedgie" seriously buries the lede.

What does the vet say?? There are no other antibiotics or painkillers available?

Jesus just go hold and comfort your damn dog. Go sleep on the floor with him. You should hope that if you are ever in a situation where you're in too much pain to sleep, literally screaming, and desperate for comfort from the one person your life depends on, that they don't treat you like such a burden.

Your dog is only a part of your life, but you are your dog's WHOLE life. You're enduring a lack of sleep, but your dog is suffering and does not understand why the person he loves so much won't help him feel better.

Instead you're locking him in a cage and trying to drown out his cries. Be better.

You have to be brain dead to think there's democracy in the US. Gerrymandering, voter suppression, two senators per state, the electoral college... Wake up.

I fully believe the dental profession attracts a lot of sadists and freaks. Truly, I have had some horiffic experiences.

I think the previous generations were conditioned to accept it, because the technology and techniques were much more uncomfortable. My parents are impressed as long as the dentist isn't intentionally injuring them, lol.

The best thing I did was switch to a practice for people with dental phobia, and they literally don't do anything special except be very gentle, and make sure you're well anesthesized, and communicate everything, and check in with you frequently, and give plenty of breaks. Like every dentist should do.

People should feel free to be picky about what kind of dentist they see! You can actually have comfortable dental procedures these days!

ADD used to be a separate diagnosis, but now they classify both as subtypes of ADHD: Primarily Hyperactive or Primarily Inattentive. I'm ADHD-PI and can't relate to stereotypical hyperactivity at all.

What makes you think people are fine with it? ISPs have monopolies over service areas and can do whatever the fuck they want. They have monopolies because of corporate lobbying. No amount of voting gets these corrupt fucks out of office bc votes literally do not matter and there's only two parties, they're both to the right of center, and they're both bought and sold. Just to really make sure, we're all taught from birth that the US is peak civilization and all other countries are backwater shitholes.

That's only a legal principle - he's not in jail, is he? Individuals and organizations can do whatever they want. It has nothing to do with modern society.

You know that only Israel can stop the violence, right? If Palestine stops fighting, Israel continues the violence until they are eliminated. If Israel stops, then Palestine doesn't have to fight back. It's really very simple.

Was Bojack Horseman telling the truth about improv??

What do you recommend for an RSS app?

Oh no, poor guy had literally no choice but to participate in a corrupt system by going into politics and becoming a mayor 😭

Get the fuck outta here.

You absolutely should, it's a glorious bottomless rabbithole.

It's considered unethical

Uh yeah and it fucking should be, jesus christ.

That's not true; I also speak Dutch!

Anyone want to speak Dutch with me? ...... That's what I thought.

I've been with a number of people as they came out of anesthesia and they were "awake" and talking before they were really conscious of it. Same experience with my own surgeries; I have no recollection of eating a popsicle but apparently I did and tried to share it with the whole nursing staff.

I think your friend is full of shit.

Or being traumatized from being autistic and getting side eyes, snickers, giggles, eye rolls, scoffs, and bullying whenever you committed some social faux pas.

You have to be sick in the head to be a conservative.

Definitely not true in all of Europe. We pay in the Netherlands. In fact, I decided to go to school here since I never got to in the US, and found out I can't even take out a student loan because I'm over 35.

Don't even get me started on the STAP budget!

This is great! I've been noticing more ableism in my own vocabulary, but was frustrated with not knowing enough good substitutes. Thanks!

I appreciate your nuanced take.

I see more and more men wearing fanny-pack-like crossbody bags where I am (Holland). Hopefully it will start catching on in your area!

Jim Croce. He died relatively early in his career and was already an amazing songwriter. What could he have written with more time?

Oh no, what has Tina Fey done? I'm trying to think back on 30 Rock and I can imagine how some of it hasn't aged well.

"The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."

I feel like ~1 in 3 people being selfish assholes kind of checks out, though. It's a trend I really noticed during Covid.

Once you're a member it shows you a section in the app store. Unfortunately I'm not sure where to find a list before subscribing.

The source you linked doesn't say anything about beheadings.

Some recipes depend on the dough being mixed just until the ingredients are combined, and not any longer. Other commenters are saying that overmixing cookies can warm the butter too much. With some recipes, like muffins, mixing creates gluten chains that lead to chewey-ness and toughness. So in order to avoid that you stop mixing asap.

Baking is a chemical reaction and the quantities, order, and methods really do have a huge impact on the result!

I've only needed local anesthesia so far, but they also do general anesthesia there.

Can you give an example of how medicine was actually advanced? Cause I've only heard that claim made by white supremacists.

Zeker waar, maar er zijn gewoon niet zo veel kansen "back home" als ik mijn familie bezoek 🥲

Where did the siren sound come from? Are they making paramedics work double duty as dispatchers now?

Never thought about doing that, great idea, thanks!

The problem is that he joined the especially notoriously infamously corrupt and evil side, dumbass.

No one denies that wars bring medical advancements. What is questionable is the claim that Nazi experimentation advanced medical science.
