Len posted:"The swelling in your gums is normal after a root canal just take this ibuprofen" For me it was months of "It's just gas, stop coming in with this." Until my gallbladder started to rupture and the doctor at the emergency room looked loving aghast when he poked my gut and instantly realized what was up and that doctors had let it get that bad without even doing a single check.

Panfilo posted:That's appalling since gallstones are pretty easy to diagnose most of the time. They never did an ultrasound to check? No. Didn't even poke around like the guy at the emergency room did when I was able to be pretty specific about the pain and symptoms. I'd go in, explain what was going on and come out with antacids every time. Picnic Princess posted:Yeah, I'm pretty drat tough, like deal with my own broken digits, tape up the finger almost bit off by a monkey and get back to work, get my husband to dig urchin needles out of my foot with a knife kind of girl, but when I decide that something is bad enough to get help I usually get dismissed as overreacting and just being a delicate little flower with a booboo and it sucks. It has to be the most frustrating thing in my life. Monkey bites sound horrifying. I'd let it have the finger.

Memento posted:Last time I was in the ER I presented vomiting fluoro green bile with extreme abdominal pain. They took my gallbladder out the next day, then I stayed three more days and went home with opiate aftercare painkillers.  my medical insurance sent me a note saying they'd be dropping my coverage due to expenses or whatever after I had emergency surgery to remove my gallbladder. So less than a week after that surgery I got all four of my wisdom teeth pulled to make the most of it while I still had it.

Skwirl posted:Is that considered a slur? I certainly can't speak for everyone, but I'm from newfoundland, my family's full of newfies and generally throw the word around pretty casually as a means of explaining why their accent is near incomprehensible. To the point where this is the first time I've ever heard of it being a slur before now and generally anyone who gets to know my family winds up knowing "newfie" as just a general term for people from newfoundland.  King of Foolians posted:To add even more idiocy the business owner who kicked out Sarah Sanders is in fact also a woman so the claim that kicking her out is discrimination to women is even more laughable. Women can absolutely discriminate against women. Not that it changes anything about what happened, or how dumb it may be. But it's possible.

I went from a cold, frozen rock in the sea to a tropical, hot one and every morning I wake up yelling at the sun. I envy those of you who think 80 is still hot, that's like. Early morning and late night temperatures here. When it dips below that on especially windy, rainy days people go outside in thick winter coats and fur-lined boots shivering and huddling for warmth as if it were snowing.

She has an apparent history of doing very corporate unfriendly things like publicly admitting to being happy a (lovely) man died, on a social media account under her real name that lists where she works. There's only so many fires they're going to tolerate for one employee before dropping them.

AndreTheGiantBoned posted:Jfc Me and my friends loved to play smash growing up. We'd get together and just spend rainy afternoons playing it for hours. Tons of characters, items and all sorts of ways to keep it interesting. We'd swap out who played so one guy didn't dominate too much and people didn't feel bad for losing or if they got stuck with a character they didn't like or were bad with. But we had That One Guy. He watched all the tournament player videos and brushed up on the strategies. So any time he showed up he'd bitch and moan until items were turned off, any time he got to pick the stage it was final destination. If he didn't get to play as samus or fox he'd throw himself off the edge in a fit. Otherwise he'd wavedash and other poo poo and win every match he was part of in record time and it was no loving fun for anyone else. Like, it's fine to be really into a game or whatever. But don't be That Guy. You don't have to take your hardcore turbo poo poo everywhere. This was the same guy who would throw tantrums, well into his teenage years, any time he stared losing mario party.

This is literally what a lot of people, including a depressing number of women, think. The "husband stitch" still exists and occasionally gets performed without consent. there wolf posted:It already "grows back" creepy virgin-obsessed authors of the world. Do you have no concept of the plasticity of the human body?! No, they don't. They literally only care about an arbitrary symbol. It's a creepy thing that comes up in vampire fiction a lot, the "forever virgin" and it's always weird and gross because the authors will usually dedicate a lovely amount of time to having the character voice how uncomfortable sex always is for them because of it.

So what you're telling me is that we need to breed brainless crippled animals that can't feel or scream and everyone would be happy to watch farmers shovel around their limp, blobby shapes? I don't understand this. Especially since, if I'm remembering my pokemon at least, there is at least one pokemon that does actually switch gender, or at least presentation? when it evolves.

Yawgmoth posted:Assuming you're living in her area to buy those grapes on that sale. $2.49/lb for grapes is about what I see for a sale in the summer around here. And on a snack-for-snack basis, I could buy 10 boxes of cheez-its or bags of chips for the same price and not have to worry about them going bad in 5 days. Which is what that whole post is about (that lovely prepackaged food loaded with HFCS and saturated fat is cheaper and simpler for the working poor to reliably consume than actually healthy food), if people would stop zeroing in on specific item choices for half a second. Would it be better if one of the bags of grapes was a bag of ~6 apples? Or if the pineapple+nuts were instead 2 bell peppers? Pick any $30 in produce you like, it's not going to change the reality of the problem, which is that poor people end up fat more often because the cheap easy food is poo poo nutritionally and combined with the dearth of food/cooking education in the country, there's very little if any way for them to learn how to cut an onion, how to fry an egg, etc. and telling someone "spend this money you need to maximize on ingredients along with time you probably don't have to maybe cook a thing that will be good for you assuming you don't gently caress it up and assuming you can get the ingredients and use them before they spoil" is painfully antithetical to actually solving the problem of getting the impoverished to cook & eat better. spoilage can be a huge issue depending on where you live. I can buy a bag of potatoes, for example. Go right down to costco and start digging through their huge box of potatoes. Half the bags there will already be rotting, any clean ones I buy will be rotting before the week is out. This is a huge problem with any produce I get in this state. Any fruit or vegetables? Well good loving luck planning ahead because everything has a depressingly short shelf life here and competition to get poo poo from a store that isn't already fuzzy is pretty stiff. I just don't have the time to stop in at the grocery store every day or two to pick up poo poo to cook the next day or two, and if I try to plan ahead and buy ingredients for a week's worth of meals by the time that day rolls a round I have to carve the mold out.

Memento posted:We banned single-use plastic bags in Australia recently and The Olds lost their loving minds about it. The supermarkets started giving out free heavy-duty multi use plastic bags that they had the loving audacity to attempt to charge fifteen cents for. It's made the problem worse because the loving Baby Boomers (Death Be Unto Them) won't bring bags to the supermarket, so they're getting the heavy-duty ones every time. My last retail job was at a chain that was a super early adopter of the whole "no more bags" thing and a day didn't go by without one Australian tourist yelling at me about how stupid it was. Always Australian.

TheMaskedUgly posted:No it's the "these people are just innately bad people who choose to be uncaring sociopaths" and you should absolutely declare them a lost cause. I don't think they're innately bad, but willfully bad. There are so many people who when faced with an argument or even genuine fact will just, with complete and utter honesty, say something along the lines of "That's just social justice garbage." and ignore reality. My own parents have gotten increasingly more and more racist since Obama's second term leading into Trump to now - and there's zero discussion with them or anyone like them. Anything that doesn't already line up with their viewpoints simply isn't real. These are people who seriously think trump is "A Good Businessman." And that's why "He's a good president!" These are the same kind of people who will go online and demand everyone debate them in rational facts over feelings 1v1 honor duels or whatever, but melt the gently caress down and resort to throwing insult laden temper tantrums the moment they're criticized or rebuked in any way shape or form. It's some bizarre brainworms and it's just not worth the amount of energy it takes to give a poo poo about them anymore, they're not going to change and they don't want to change. But they'll be the first ones to blame you for not changing them when things go wrong.

TinTower posted:Raped at least three women. Dang, guy had big hands in two indie games I really liked. You'd think it'd be easy to not be a complete garbage person, but somehow these people continue to disappoint. I was recently part of a small game community where the lead dev/admin had a real issue with constantly creeping on any female users, especially ones he knew were underage. As did his inner circle of friends. Anyone who took issue with this would get publicly banned for the smallest infraction, to the point where even posting about posts those people made was an insta-ban. Even after cutting my losses and bailing I still occasionally get a friend or two DMing me about how it's getting worse, somehow. Nerds in positions of power over other people are the worst.

zoux posted:I worry that she's the norm and most never speak out because one million incel gamers will devote 40 hours a week to ruining your life. It's not just a problem with sexual assault and other forms of abuse. It's incredibly hard to speak out about basically anything in gaming centric circles because capital-G Gamers will melt the gently caress down over the most minute criticisms. Even if it's something as simple as "Can we maybe stop trying to pressure literal children into purchasing micro transactions for this game." There is no molehill too small for them to line up to die on, especially if it means defending a corporate entity from someone on the internet saying things might be cooler if they were different. So it reaches a point where having an opinion on literally anything can get you death threats and abusive messages spamming your inbox from the reddit chud crowd, I can only imagine the fresh hell it is to actually speak up about something like sexual assault and directly name the prolific creator who did it, and I can't really blame other people for not wanting to deal with that next level garbage fire in their lives, either.

Brawnfire posted:Retrospect hit really hard on that one when I began achieving class consciousness. Suddenly all my "friends with nice things" turned out to be the children of literal predatory businessmen. It also makes the inordinate amount of trouble I got in for ANYTHING a lot more understandable, seeing as I was the poor city boy who was getting his morals aired out in a proper suburban home. Kind of reminds me of my childhood. I lived in a town with a really rough rich/poor divide and ended up with a handful of rich kid friends because of my nerdy hobbies, and the spectacular contempt their parents had for me, a child of like eight to twelve, was amazing. One of said friends was the son of a well known celebrity doctor (As in the doctor to celebrities) and once day his dad had to drive a bunch of us home because a storm hit and while he wanted to make us poors walk home in rain so dense you couldn't see more than a few feet, his wife made him drive us. So he spent most of the drive home just bragging to us literal children about how expensive everything he owned was, telling us not to touch anything in his fancy car and how he was a very important doctor. Then someone asked him if he had any cool doctor stories and he flipped his poo poo and spent the rest of the trip just ranting about how rude it was that we would ask that and how his patients were all Very Important People and how dare we try to invade their privacy like that.

christmas boots posted:I think that if the developers intended for an explicitly trans reading to be the only applicable one they would have made it more explicit. At the same time, if they were more explicit they would have had people screaming up and down across every platform about "forced SJW politics in video games" which happens almost any time a character is obviously not straight, cis and usually male. And it's kind of understandable if they didn't want to deal with that. Regardless, it's rare for media to have only one explicitly singular message or reading, as art tends to be subjective to what people take away from it.

Mr.Radar posted:Over on Reddit, r/the_donald is in a slow-motion meltdown. For what might have been a minor bit of context surrounding this whole thing; The_Donald had been trying to skirt its quarentine by pairing up with several other similar subreddits (with similar The_"Whatever" name schemes and staff mostly composed of The_Donald users) and they linked one another and were very openly bigoted. Since The_Donald was not only quarantined but basically nothing it posted could leave its little bubble, its users were starting to use the other subreddits to push their bullshit to other places. About a week ago one of them in particular, "The_Europe" began to leak when a bunch of its topics flooded the main page of Reddit if you sorted under Controversial (this happened because other people went in and called them nazis, and they downvoted those people so hard it topped the charts), and so everyone else could see the hilariously racist garbage these people were propagating. Notable was a literal conspiracy theory board of jpegs about jews in the media with an entire subreddit staff proudly proclaiming its self to be anti-semetic. In either case the users of The_Donald seem to think being mad enough to make their own lovely website and stop using reddit is an actual threat to literally anyone.

Anyone who lived too close to the water was being told to evacuate further inland, all the beaches were shut the gently caress down and the roads were being closed quickly too - they didn't want anyone anywhere that wasn't safe for sure. So, as a final drive around to see what was going on me and my friends went out and were treated to an amazing spectacle of this tourist with his family on a beach. The only people on that beach, arguing with a cop about how it was his right as an american to take his family out on this beach and enjoy their vacation. It was a stormy grey day, this man was just being an obstinate rear end in a top hat and I'm surprised the cop didn't forcibly drag him away.
