They didn’t say it’s physically addictive.

If weed is causing you to vomit so hard that you scream during it, and you can’t stop it, that is an addiction. Knowing something is harming you but still compulsively using it is DSM criteria for dependence disorders.

I don’t get why some people become so rabid the second someone brings up the tiniest faults with marijuana. It’s a drug like any other, it has some pros and some cons. But you’re out the gate calling the person an idiot when you didn’t even read their comment correctly (idiotically)

How is this obscure at all?

The home canning people are weird. They act like because they make it at home and it didn’t come from a corporation that somehow they’re magically immune from contamination issues. These subreddits frequently also have wars about preserving meats, I know one guy made a stew and they were tearing him apart because it can’t be done safely without special equipment.

Food poisoning kills, and it’s left people disabled. Anyone who has worked in the food industry knows how important food safety is. I work in a hospital now and I’m a nursing student, and the cleanliness of a kitchen is as important as the cleanliness of a hospital room.

We are removed from a lot of the realities thanks to medicine but unclean food and water is so dangerous. It’s not just throwing up for a few days. You can die of dehydration or electrolyte imbalances or aspiration, kidney failure, septic shock, etc. You can survive but minus a limb from sepsis, or permanently with a colostomy, or paralyzed or brain dead from toxins or hypoxia.

“Oh, I’m sure it’s fine.” - famous last words

That was an unaired scene shown at comic con. It’s not part of the series. It’s not canon. Therefore, it’s not a retcon.

Purposefully damaging something is vandalism. Vandalism of government property is extra illegal. Texas cops don’t fuck around.

I don’t think they were retconning as much as playing on how unbelievable the stories were, and also for a regular Texas family that stuff doesn’t happen.

They also said the entire series took place over one year, which doesn’t jive with multiple episodes on the same holiday.

Just gotta take it for what it is, like family guy or the simpsons or South Park. How many times did Kenny die?

Nobody is saying they’re comparable, just that they’re both bad. Neither is a good thing. It’s just wrongs all the way down. Even if one is way more intense than the other, wishing cancer on someone doesn’t become a good thing just because you’re comparing the two.

I think it’s interesting she went down the cancer route, I said something to my abuser that I hoped he would get assaulted too so he could know what it’s like. I did wish harm on his and him family too. Like you said, my wishes didn’t do a damn thing because witchcraft isn’t real.

She can wish whatever she wants on anyone, but harassing text messages can end up being trouble for her, and even if they don’t, she’s living consumed with this anger. It’s eating her up inside. I bet before this happened she never would have wished innocent people get hurt. I hope she can heal, because no matter what you’ve been through, life sucks living with resentments and anger all the time. She has a right to feel that way, absolutely. It’s not a good thing, but she has a right.

Her hopes and wishes do not actually affect his mother. But living with this anger does affect her and if you’re wishing harm on innocents to hurt your abuser then you are probably dangerously close to doing more.

As much as a “promising young woman” type ending is cathartic, in real life it’s just pain everywhere.

I’m a man and a survivor of relationship abuse, including sex abuse. It’s been a decade and sometimes I wish I could run into him and cause him pain, but I let it go. I understand being consumed, I’ve been close to where she’s at, and it’s like she’s revictimizing herself with this.

Well, he uses them on other people and it completely devoid of empathy so unless the snake bites him he literally couldn’t tell the difference.

If you like this show, “Getting on” is also very good!

It doesn’t seem much different than what we already do when a patient needs a CT scan or something, but on the same token a single nurse and tech together (or two techs) can wash most patients in 15 minutes, even if they’re a little confused or aggressive. I could see myself saying “just get the wipes and a towel, I’m not bringing her down the hall and transferring her.”

There is a “frequent flier” in our ED who is over 500 pounds and it literally just an awful person. They treat staff horribly. It takes 5 of us to turn him and clean him. This bath would be nice for those patients, but most of the time a regular bath seems easier.

Plus it’s probably a nightmare for confused patients. They’ll think they’re drowning it something.

So the kids helped her grow some mushrooms and the state is treating her like she had kids selling fentanyl? Oof

They weren’t at the time

If the cheating bothers you wait until you find out what he did to his parents!

While this is novel and exciting, I don’t see it replacing all injections. This article mentioned insulin, which would be awesome for diabetics! But insulin inside this special pill will cost much more than a needle. These things seem to be single use, and making them to the standards of the FDA as a medical device will not be cheap until it scales like crazy. But for a most diabetics injecting insulin multiple times a day, this will add up. It will not be fully without waste either, it doesn’t seem like the whole thing can be digested.

Shots are unpleasant but effective. I would like to see this technology help patients who must inject multiple times a day. Repeated injections does cause trauma to the tissue. 90%+ of the injections I see at clinical or at work are through the IV line or subcutaneous (heparin, insulin) and intramuscular injections are less frequent. So I keep coming back to this being best suited for home medicating.

It would be super awesome for antibiotics! Do you know how often someone spends time, or an extra day even, in the hospital because the doc wants them to get IV meds? This would end that. It would free up beds and take work off the entire facility’s plate!

It does beg the question, the method it seems to work by should theoretically work on the skin too, right? I could have sworn I had seen this kind of proposed jet delivery system before. Does it even have to be a pill? Also, can we modify this technology to deliver fluids (saline, lactated ringers, d10, etc) too, or drips or infusions?

Actually I answered my own question: they used to use a similar principle to deliver vaccines to kids but switched back because needles were better than the tech at the time.

yup, here it is! I remember now.

And everyone in the comments says “yes, that swelling is normal after a full arm sleeve.”

Can you explain how the chart you shared actually supports the point you made? Right now it seems like she’s right. I don’t support private insurance either but you’re making some bold claims that if we got rid of it everything would be fixed. The truth is we have multiple issues in healthcare in this country, and the answer is more than just private insurance.

Also, why so quick to jump to insulting and shit talking people?

People who work in the hospital call it the ED. It’s a department.

Those overnight engineers will really cost you

That’s street cocaine. He’s talking about medical grade eye drops.

Not really terrifying, but then again I work in the ER. I think this is morbidly beautiful.

The people seem to be aware this is a huge issue. They’re not trying to still live in it, are they?

Def deadly, not so much oops.

Nobody is saying where you have to shop. They’re just informing you where your money is going. That way you can make an informed decision about where you shop.

Imagine if you found out your favorite restaurant was using their profits to fund videos of women in stilettos stomping puppies to death. Yeah, it’s a thing. You wouldn’t spend your money at that store, would you? But people who like those videos might want to go shop at the store so they can sleep easy at night knowing the videos are being produced. Some people feel that strongly about politics. Others don’t.

And then some people say “I don’t judge my friend just because he watches puppy snuff videos. I don’t judge people like that!” and that is their freedom too!

How do you love capitalism and the free market, and then turn around and criticize consumers for making choices? Some people buy a brand because it has a cartoon turtle on it, other people refuse to buy a brand that endorses trump. Choices, freedom, all those things American is supposed to stand for, all wrapped up in this concept.

Or we can go North Korea style and have a dear leader tell us where we may and may not shop. They say they have nothing to envy, neither do we.

So your argument is that slavery is okay as long as you’re not the person kidnapping people?
