Heart warming story of a royal toddler who noped the fuck out after being caught up in a political murder scheme, met two stoners, became a stoner himself, and kinda just did nothing but be a stoner until his ~20s when he was finally swayed to put the blunt down after his toddler-crush just randomly shows up one day and fucks him. He then proceeds to overthrow the government.
They just don’t make wholesome movies like that anymore. <3
Some dude snuck onto his golf course or something with a rifle. Caught before Trump was in the vicinity, so it was barely a blip in the news.
My guess is now agencies are having to pay out a fuck ton in overtime and temp/traveler positions. …which was an expected outcome from day one. Don’t think of this as a blunder: Elon, Trump, etc are enemies of the United States, and crippling our mission while simultaneously making it even more costly was their goal.
The VA canceled my surgery
Report to the ER and complain of 10/10 pain coming from your uterus the next time you menstruate. Then next month do it again. After about 6 months, talk to your OB and explain how it’s getting worse, completely stops you from normal daily activities at its peak, and is causing you to become depressed and anxious.
Also bitch about it in other unrelated appointments. Seeing ortho about your back? “My pain today is 10/10, but only in my uterus. My back is the usual 4.”
Throughout, there will be assessments where they’ll inevitably find nothing - keep complaining. Pain can be paradoxical - eventually they’ll decide it needs to come out.
It’s stupid and tedious, but if you need to lie to get health care, then lie.
Years. Starting with his first term, he fucked the troops over every chance he got. That they support him so zealously is some absolute peak face-eating-leopard shit.
Over the course of the year-long experiment, the most significant changes were seen in how the brain processed energy. Using FDG-PET imaging, the researchers tracked glucose uptake across the whole brain as well as specific regions, and found that after only two months of intermittent aspartame intake, the mice had sharp rises here – roughly double that seen in the control group. And this effect was across the entire brain, suggesting it was burning more fuel in the early stages of the experiment. However, at around six months, this spike actually reversed, and at the 10-month mark, the brains of the aspartame-dosed mice were burning around 50% less glucose than the control group. Because the brain runs almost entirely on glucose – to fuel processes like the firing of neurons and maintaining circuits linked to memory and learning – aspartame appeared to be robbing the organ of what it needs to function smoothly.
Were they getting enough glucose in addition to the aspartame? The article didn’t make it clear whether we’re seeing the effects of aspartame or just hypoglycemia.
If AI can shut that dude up, I may need to rethink my opposition to it.
What’s the error code for ‘help not found’?
Hope this chud finally realizes he isn’t a boxer now that he took his first real punch and fucks off.
Don’t be hasty now - he’s still got some unfractured bones.
Shhhhhhhhhh you’re going to wake Gabe!
I was a medic in the USAF about a decade ago - training is a joint program of USAF, Army, and Navy, so we all saw the same stuff.
None of our training used animals, dead or alive. We did hear about it though: I got the impression it was something they did for the special-ops folks, which do have medical positions.
For non-special-ops medics like me, we just used mannequins. …and even back then, the mannequins for combat training were fancy enough to squirm, scream, and pump out buckets of fake blood while you’re trying to put on a tourniquet.
I don’t think live animals would have contributed anything. Like on one hand I guess there’s value in knowing that if you fuck up the simulation, something will die, so it might make trainees take it more seriously… but on the other hand, it would also detract from the training by introducing an unethical practice, and one thing we don’t want to train our medics to do is second-guess whether or not they should be patching someone up in the middle of doing just that.
My first thought was that he wasn’t being a dick, but asking a weirdly specific question to send the patient into several seconds of “wtf”, which would be a great way to keep them distracted from a numbing shot or something.
After reading the other comments here, I don’t think that’s what he was going for, but I’ll ask my patients the most random shit I can think of just to keep their focus on anything other than the pain.
Working in the OR. Anesthesiologist draws up some fentanyl, and I asked him if it was enriched. He looked at me like I’m a dumbass and asked “with what?”

In this house, it is an “efficient Susan”. Such a masterfully engineered piece of equipment shall not be degraded!
JKR is a uniquely self-aware monster. Her fame and fortune were built on a franchise in which its own villains are just caricatures of JKR’s traits.
Most people who promote evil do it through an elaborate mental gymnastics routine to try to rationalize their awful behavior. Not JKR - she called herself out by personifying her own traits specifically as the ‘bad guys’. No effort to rationalize their fictional behavior or explain why wizard-Hitler is actually misunderstood but raises some good points in the interests of wizard-1930s-Germany. Nope. Just a very clear copy and paste of her own values onto the HP lore, and a very clear label within that lore that those values are evil and something anyone with a shed of good in them should actively fight against to their dying breath.
I can’t think of a single other person that is both that level of self aware and still absolutely evil.
Can’t wait to go to work tomorrow and accuse our anesthesiologists of war crimes!
The disconnect is one of class, not generation. Generation draws a lot of attention, both in solidarity and in backlash, but if you’re expecting the world to suddenly become better when boomers die off, or for X/millennials/Z/etc to swoop in and save the day, you’re in for disappointment.
The ruling class will continue to make our existence as dystopian as possible until we break out the guillotines.
