The second-generation Pontiac Sunbird, introduced by the automaker for the 1982 model year as the J2000, was built to be an inexpensive and fuel-efficient front-wheel-drive commuter car capable of seating five.

honestly though if you ever go to reddit, don't, but if you do sort comments by controversial that way it will at least be slightly entertaining seeing all the offended reddit people comments

useful comments are still not likely but at least it is more entertaining than the latest comment chain of 16 year olds typing out bohemian rhapsody.

Reddit is good on small subreddits.

I also like it better for TV discussion than TVIV

Reddit has been useful exactly one time in my life and that was in gossiping about some drama going down in a badly made, serious business 'society sim' web game after it came to light some admins who were loving IRL were (GASP!) cheating and corrupt, and they all closed ranks and went full North Korea with removing player accounts in the night and doing mass deletes and then bans of anyone who even hinted at the subject.

The admin response was to ban all mention of the Reddit on the official forum, and this even went as far as banning people with sigs linking to another forum that contained a link to the reddit prominently displayed.

Well, maybe 'useful' was the wrong word but it was hilarious at the time, we even had an admin come and threaten to 'report us to reddit'...all of reddit, apparently, because people were posting screenshots of in game maps and various self important threats admins had been making in private messages.

Well anyway that was my reddit experience I hope you liked it. Sorry for the lovely post but I only made it to bump the thread, because it is a good thread.

He was supposed to have a meeting with the surgeon on the 18th, and I assume the surgery would be scheduled at some point after that.

There's still time for some brave individual here to donate their entire skeleton.

Anyway, SA is one of the last places on the internet where I can have an argument with someone and tell them to suck my dick and the person I'm arguing with will laugh and try to one-up me (and fail cause i'm a a stud) cause people here ***mostly*** understand hyperbole and sarcasm and I don't want that to ever go away. If somehow the day ever comes where the moderation staff's names all disappear then I am super done with this place. This cane go too far ofc, look at ResetERA (lmao), that site's law enforcement could easily be its own thread.
Yeah it's still largely a walled / closed system so even if I disagree with somebody I still have to put up with them because we're both sailing on the same rickety boat. And it's not like I can downvote them.

SA has a good balance of allowing people to post wild stuff while also constraining and regulating behavior. The rest of the internet just makes me mad and the systems in place only seem to encourage the worst tendencies in people.

I like closed systems. There's a new social media site called Mastodon I haven't checked out yet but it's like Twitter with closed systems, which sounds interesting to me.

Oh, and Prednisone literally killed my mom and a couple years later almost killed my aunt. It's cool that you don't even have to be a real doctor to give prescriptions to Type 1 diabetics, health care is awesome.

What the gently caress, I just got prescribed a 5-day course of prednisone because I had lingering throat & ear pain for like a week after a cold... doctor hit me with 10 days of antibiotics, 5 days of prednisone, and said "it's either bacterial, allergic, or viral; these should take care of the first two."

I'm already done with the pills, but if I'd have known what it's all about I might have said something. Ah well.

You either have a bad doctor or you've annoyed a good doctor so much that he'll do anything to get rid of you.

It really depends on the dosage. A 5 day course of 10mg or whatever is pretty safe. 40+ is when it starts to get rough.

Probably a bad doctor, it was just the clinic. My actual PCP didn't have any appointments open for like 3 loving weeks, which is making me think I might want to look for a different PCP.

Lowtax, when I was a kid and having my tonsils out, I told the nurses that I wanted to keep them. After the surgery, they actually brought me a sample cup of gross poo poo that was apparently my chopped-up tonsils, which I then declined to take home (I doubt they actually would have let me keep them.) Maybe if you ask nicely they will let you see your old gay spine chunks.
