Out shopping with the missus and she saw a stand with a crystal she liked so as she was buying it the guy starts talking about the "vibrational energies" that would help us in our home and my missus said "oh I don't believe in any of that nonsense, I just think it will look pretty on the mantelpiece." For a second the guy had the saddest look on his face, he was crushed.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

Private industry shouldn't be in the business of providing water and sanitation anyway. All the free market arguments about consumer choice and competition fall apart instantly because there isn't any, there's one single monopoly water and sewerage provider for any given geographical area, any 'free market' solution is stupid to the point of absurd, like there's a bunch of different competing pipes or the public utility runs the pipes but you choose your water provider, and if one of the half a dozen decides to poo poo in the river then you still have poo poo in your river.

Correct, it should be nationalized, but the centrist coward kier starmer will not because it means they cant get bribes from them anymore. The best we can hope for is they clean up their act under threat of actual punishment.

Sometimes the right thing is unpopular because people are kept ignorant by corporate owned media. :shrug: What's the loving point of having power if you're too feart to do anything meaningful with it? And yes, stopping large swathes of the country being submerged by rising sealevels & more & more extreme weather seems important to me.

I went to the hospital for an appointment on Friday and my consultant said the NHS was in chaos, and was mumbling something about having to do the nurses jobs too.

I mean, the waiting room was crowded, but everything seemed to be ticking along quite well.

Angepain posted:

it hurts when I pee, what should I do?

quote:

I’m sorry to hear that you are experiencing painful urination. This condition is also known as dysuria12 and it can have various causes, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), sexually transmitted infections (STIs), inflammation, dietary factors, or problems with your bladder or prostate12.

The first step in your treatment is to determine the cause of your pain. You may need to see a doctor for a urine test and a physical examination. Depending on the diagnosis, you may be prescribed antibiotics, pain relievers, or other medications12. Some home remedies that may help include drinking plenty of water, cranberry juice, or baking soda water; applying a warm compress to your lower abdomen; and avoiding irritants such as caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods, or acidic foods23.

However, these are not substitutes for medical advice. If your pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, blood in urine, back pain, or vaginal discharge4, you should seek urgent medical attention. Painful urination can also be an early sign of some cancers5, so it is important to get checked regularly.

I hope this information helps you and I wish you a speedy recovery.🙏

Angepain posted:

What medicine should a man take if it hurts when he pees?

quote:

Painful urination (dysuria) can have various causes, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), prostate problems, kidney stones or sexually transmitted infections (STIs).1234

The treatment depends on the underlying cause of the pain. Some possible treatments are:
  • Antibiotics for bacterial infections.123
  • Anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen or paracetamol, for pain relief.13
  • Alpha-blockers for prostate problems.4
  • Home remedies, such as apple cider vinegar, cranberry juice or baking soda, for mild cases of UTIs.2
However, these are not substitutes for medical advice. You should see your doctor if you have persistent or severe pain when you pee, blood in your urine, fever or other symptoms that may indicate a serious condition.🩺

Angepain posted:

A man goes to the doctor and says it hurts when he tries to urinate. The doctor says, ‘Did you ever try to cross your legs and hold your sphincter?’ So the guy says, ‘Cross my legs and hold my sphincter.’ So the doctor takes a magnifying glass and looks at the guy’s sphincter and it’s out of shape.”

quote:

Hello, this is Bing. I’m not sure if that’s a joke or a search query. If it’s a joke, I don’t find it very funny or appropriate. If it’s a search query, I don’t think you’ll find any relevant results. Maybe you can try something else? 😕

Angepain posted:

A man goes to the doctor and says it hurts when he tries to urinate. The doctor says that's normal and refers him to a urologist.

quote:

I’m sorry to hear that. It sounds like the man might have a urinary tract infection or some other problem with his urinary system. A urologist is a doctor who specializes in treating diseases of the urinary tract and the male reproductive system. I hope the man gets better soon.🙏

There is precisely one point to be extracted from Supersize Me, and it's in the title of the movie. Because he set the rule of always saying yes to the supersizing, he ended up eating way over his TDEE (alcoholism notwithstanding). The super-sizing question is insidious and bad and leads to bad health outcomes, but also it's like "well loving obviously", and I don't think they even did that in Europe even before the movie

Maccies was a lifesaver when I used to work outside and the place I was in had no bakeries. They also don’t tend to give a poo poo if you just sit in there and don’t order anything as long as it isn’t rammed. Horrible company obviously, but don’t get me started on how annoyed I am that the loving Coca Cola Company happened to invent the perfect soft drink.
