Aye, I’ve always liked the ratio better. It really puts into perspective how fast and loose some of our entertainments are. Compare the health warnings on OTC drugs like tylenol/acetaminophen/paracetamol to the bare minimum labeling of alcohol, yet alcohol’s equivalent (or much less, in some estimations) to the painkiller.

I wish fucking supermarkets would understand this. I don’t have to be told in a super loud fucking annoying voice that I need to place the object in the bagging area, or switch to the other machine to use my card. I’ve already hit the fucking button to use the cc machine, you fucking nonces! I’ve already placed the goddamn stupid fucking bananas in the stupid fucking bagging area, shut the fuck up! AAAAAH!

It’s even worse now because you used to be able to mute the mother fucker, but now they’ve disabled that option.

As much as I’d love to see that, the likelihood of it happening is low. The boards move on public opinion and consensus. The public they care about may be only other doctors, but as we’ve seen since covid, there are plenty of doctors who listened to Ozzy and boarded the crazy train.

Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah! Everything else is fine, but you leave my condoms alone! A man needs something in the middle of the night when he gets up for the glass of water and then starts feeling a little peckish. Hunger should not be denied.

Even the clothes were unimpressed.

Is it just me, or did they pick the worst title they could think of? They mention a few assassinations from history, give their opinion that the amount of them is increasing and why they think so, and… that’s it. Wrap it up folks, we’ve kept people’s attention for about a minute.

And then group c proceeds to grab the first dish with some flippant saying about it being no big deal. It’s not just weaponized incompetence or avoiding any help at that point, it’s being an asshole. Living with others that don’t have cooperation as a goal is a nightmare.

Which is fair. Taxes that pay for roads come from gasoline sales, so a heavier car (that thus wears roads faster) that doesn’t pay road taxes is not paying their fair share. Aren’t we about fair shares here?

I think the “focusing on narrow definitions of words” is the part that makes this bullshit. Any judge can interpret as widely or as narrowly as they want. They do it all the time. They just pander to one side of the divide when that’s the ruling they want to get to.

The honest answer is because it brings in sponsorship money from local businesses who want to advertise to locals who are going to go to games, it brings in alumni money from any former student who made it big in athletics (and those who have fond memories of athletics), and it brings in money from people who think a particular team/coach is good and thus want to have their kids go there. Yes, school choice is a big enough thing that I know families who have moved so their kid is in a particular school’s district.

Image is a big part of that. It’s also because many well-meaning people see athletics as a way to help a student get out of being poor, offer financial mobility, etc. So athletics get pushed from many people coming from different angles.

Don’t insult the hill billies. These are white-collarish, oh so fancy suburbanites.

What’s your favorite dinosaur? Mine was definitely the utah raptor, after reading that one book written in the first person about what it’s life might have been. But then again, big and lethal stuff is coooool, so King T might be a contender.

You might be misremembering the doctor, or he was being general, because the issue we found with adolescent females (and some males, though I saw less of them) was that they were hiding their shots (not taking them), so that they would by hyperglycemic. Your body is constantly using fat as an energy source simply due to metabolic pathways, but the one that really kicks into overdrive is the ketone production when there is not a good source of carbohydrates, because certain areas of the body (the brain is the big one) do not use protein catabolism for energy production and rely on either glucose or ketones to feed into the kreb cycle.

Smart kids either made the connection in their high school bio classes or heard the information passed along at the doctor’s office, and there was a large wave of DKA hospitalizations that happened due to avoiding the shots of insulin.

Not a clue. They got it from inside of one of the big box stores or grocery stores, so I guess from one of those little kiosks they sometimes have.

Well, he doesn’t care that facebook tracks him, and you apparently don’t care that youtube sorry, google tracks you.

The faces training was all of the filters. Every single time someone took a video or picture and used filters to add cute moe eyes, or make themselves look like a crab, it was being used to make whichever company was doing it have a better bottom line or to accelerate their facial recognition.

There was a service that only charged if the phone was used that day. A family member of mine would turn on their phone once a month, check messages, make a few calls, and then turn the phone off until the next month. I think they were paying about $2 a month.

The school published a book of students and parents at my school, with addresses and phone numbers for both. Privacy has been shit upon for years longer than you’d imagine.

Yep. They’ll tell you if you ask. I got a text and asked the chick, and she said the schools straight up give them the list.

Let me know, or make a big post if you solve it. I haven’t played Bannerlord since switching to Linux and don’t want to dive into a quagmire quite yet.
