OK, just say you lack empathy

No no, he's right

I've lived on both sides of the equation.

When you have no money, you want handouts

When you have lots of money, you want to hold onto it and get more

It's a natural progression that probably only makes you normal when transitioning

She was praising how much they help out the community with food pantries and employing people.

The word you're looking for is "pandering." Both sides love doing that to religious groups.

The @_@ emoticon says a lot. There was also 0_o which was used a lot here back then.

chiropractors are not doctors

Lose weight

back stops hurting

if there's one thing I'm sick of, it's 400 lbs patients complaining about their back. It's like complaining about a yard that needs to be cut but refusing to mow it.

Unless you believe the "soul" is an artificial concept, life is a serious of synchronous electrical discharges and human consciousness is an internetwork of spontaneous discharge with both feed forward and inhibitory components that cease to exist upon lack of oxygen perfusion.

But you can water it all down to, "old man in the clouds gave you a soul" and your perspective would be correct.

People believe title is correct for the same reason people go to a chiropractor: easy answers are comforting.

I prefer to gain the world and live life to the fullest and die.

they definitely ran out of ideas and should have stopped after endgame.

Too many crazies support them

I don't know how many viscous dog attacks I've seen

virtually all of them pitbulls, and every owner says they've never done it before, they're such a good dog, etc. Worst one I've personally seen tore the face off of a 7 year old girl, neighbor of the dog's owner.

Terrible breed, their very existence makes no sense outside of fighting. Just because they didn't kill anyone today doesn't make them less dangerous.

Fuck the CCP

There might be some reasons to say that

but I dunno

you should probably pay taxes or expect bad things to happen to you, wherever you are

As their supervisor I promise you they are laughing to just get out of the room and hate you

99% certain that's what actually happened

I've got to think there should be fewer people (almost literally) burning their money on fireworks this year.

Large gatherings

lots of cities are doing their fireworks on friday

because, I guess, gives you the whole weekend to drink? I dunno. I didn't make the calendar.

"Should I be worried the hospital is stocking more blood that day?"

Seriously.

We haven't had official fireworks in years, and I'm so glad for that. Last time we did had someone blow their face off and a hand (two different people).

Fireworks are fun but there should be some kind of certified IQ requirement to touch them. If you think people lighting them and putting them in their mouth are rare, you'd be wrong.

I'll post the body count when it happens. Hopefully zero, but I worry for a non-zero number. It's been years and I just fucking know everyone is gonna party hard enough to make up for those years.

Most single docs I know are looking for a high powered significant other, not just a "trophy wife." Random girls off the street or at a bar are great for hookups but for long term stuff they're all looking for other professionals.

Sheetz is amazing

I hope they dont come out of woodwork in the midterms and the GOP win.

Very, very few reputable sources believe dems will retain control of house this fall at this time. Hell, GOP is already planning committee assignments. Most estimates say dems lose 30 or so seats, some estimates close to 60. Thinking dems retain control is nothing more than wishful.

Had 7 cases alone in my last shift

two of them had had it already 3 times (including most recent).

Still regionally variant, that was in the poor area I go to where everyone is unvaccinated because, reasons.

Suddenly when the governess pushes food pyramids, grains, and bad science, we all get fat

Disagree

foods have increasingly gotten worse since earlier times. If anything food pyramids are holding back the dam. Otherwise we have a civilization that 100% lives off of coke and Cheetos.

200 years ago diabetics were almost exclusively classified as type 1, primary failure of pancreatic beta islet cells to secrete insulin. Often diagnosed in childhood, these poor kids would pee more and more until they rapidly began to breath and fall into a coma. Shortly thereafter they would die.

The reason for their death was a lack of insulin. Once insulin came out and was widely available mortality plummeted and diabetes was no longer a death sentence.

Yet, a bizarre phenomenon has happened over the last several hundred years: the ratio has flopped. Instead of type 1 diabetes being most common type 2, or insulin insensitivity, is now dominant.

It is getting diagnosed at a younger and younger age as well, often starting in the teens which masks it for type 1.

The reason?

Same as diverticulitis. This is a new disease entirely actually. 200 years ago diverticulitis didn't exist because the colon diverticulum did not exist, either. Pathologists were initially confused at the appearance of random outpouchings of the colon. Eventually it was conclusively linked or strongly associated with processed foods.

That's why it's a new disease: no one ever ate food that could cause it in 1800.

Diet too likely plays a roll in type 2 diabetes and its explosion in the 21st century.

Wonder what other kind of disease we'll invent to give ourselves.

Aphasia is a diagnosis

it doesnt matter what the root cause is

Dumbest post in full topic

Please don't be a doctor, please don't be a doctor....

"My arm hurts!"

"Doesn't matter what the cause is, sir. Might be a heart attack, might be a tick bite. Doesn't matter why."

EDIT: Isolated aphasia late in life that is a non-stroke cause is rare and usually worse than stroke. Weird to give this much detail. If you wanna hide shit, just say he's retiring not tease me with bizarre details. May as well say, "he's retiring because he's trapped on the moon." Leads to more questions than just "he's retiring."

If anyone knows anything about how putin kills they would know it's not related

he poisons and/or makes people disappear. Not barbaric shit like that. Sucks but likely coincident.

Probably should just kept a bit more distance from kids

Like that's major bad optics no matter how you slice it, even if he just wanted to be surrounded by youth.

He's a really good Batman and I hope if there are sequels that his Bruce Wayne will start to have that Charisma we all know and love. I get that the movie was him in his early years, but I'm just not a fan of Bruce acting the same way Batman acts.

To be fair, the movie addresses this. Bruce Wayne is all just an act, a shallow one at that. The real "him" is batman.

He's a fantastic actor. Plebs only know him from Twilight. His work in Lighthouse was amazing. Very gifted.

It's Bruce Willis from Die Hard but real

My cultural knowledge of Russia is a bit rusty, but I thought the term "oligarchy" was used on them because of the origin of the word. That they have direct input to how the country is run to Putin.

Take Musk, for example. Wildly rich. But Biden hates him and doesn't care for anything he says. So the term doesn't really fit unless you're just trying to be derisive.

Which, I guess, you may as well just call him some other childish term.

I was debating putting that in the OP, but yeah, this just gives even more reason to question these people.

yes.

yes it does

I don't disagree they need help. They need extensive psychiatric help. I would argue that they are actually harmed by people embracing the diagnosis however. Treating the real underlying cause would be more valuable that attempting to "talk to different people."

It's um, more complicated than that

DID is not fully embraced by the medical community. It would be incorrect to present it as a 100% true and real disease. Many physicians, myself included, doubt its existence.

Still a drop in the bucket compared to the military budget.

My point is each launch of starship, over time, is supposed to be around 1 million dollars, a thousandth of the cost of SLS.

NASA has learned nothing from the space shuttle, a vehicle that basically just launched money into space

https://spacenews.com/congress-presses-nasa-for-more-details-on-artemis-costs-and-schedules/

4.1 billion dollars

per

launch

This is why we need Elon

they work

they pay taxes

they contribute to the economy

they're good people

Now, on the other hand

if each of those four docs knew there were only three sandwiches left in the doc lounge

that's a reason to run

That's what numerous truckers have told me. Apparently it's the risk of overdosing on it and passing out due to hypoglycemia.

I mean, there is always the risk of passing out because your blood glucose is 1,300 but it seems no one cares about that!
