You know... I haven’t played Civ VI but I did say Civ V, and I could totally see myself giving a review like this. Me and Civ V have a love/hate relationship.... where I love the idea of booting it up, and I love creating an empire- and I love making a army and building all the wonders... but then you’re sitting there…

It was originally created during the American Revolution and was used by one of the military branches during that time. In the 2000's when the Tea Party was gaining momentum within the rhetoric of the republican party they started using the image to represent their cause.

While the Tea Party was always very white and…

My step father hasn’t been able to work for 4 years due to liver cirrhosis and cancer and frequently throwing up blood and having to be hospitalized for a great deal of it. In 4 years he’s had about 6 near death experiences where he was laying in a hospital bed and the doctor wasn’t sure if they could bring him back.…

I’m going to be honest....
Looking at anorexic models actually has always made me feel slightly better about my body. It makes me think “you know.... I am overweight- but at least I’m not a fucking zombie! AND I HAVE BOOBS!!!!” I seriously used to feel afraid to look at fashion magazines because I always thought the…

I started using clue and its a very accurate predictor of my periods within a pretty good range. I tend to have... unusual periods? Even though I’m on birth control the start day and duration is different every month- but this app still has been pretty good and making a better guess than me anyways. The only problem…

Between college and a job when I had no insurance I suffered from two medical ailments I couldn’t have treated because I had no money.
One of them was debilitating cramps that got worse and worse due to PCOS and other female malfunctions. It go to the point I couldn’t get out of bed which was bad since I was trying to…

Thank Goodness!

With cooking.... its not that I even hate it... but to cook well you need to be good at preparing in advance. Whether its thawing something out, or marinating something, or chopping up veggies and onions in advanced so you’re not rushing around last minute. It means making an actual grocery list and going on a wild…

What is the best way to apply pressure to bleeding if you’re by yourself.

I only ask because my mother once slipped in the bathroom and slammed down on her wrist so hard is hit an artery and blood was literally spurting from her all over the place. She was actually unconscious at first because the reason she slipped…

Thank you.

My co-worker had a seizure about a year ago right before closing and I was the only one in the area. Afterwards she stayed unconscious for about 30 minutes and I had called 911 and was freaking out because it was taking them so long to come and she was passed out the entire time. When she woke up she…

I had a pretty nasty cut on the back of my heel back a few months ago.
It was bad enough that it basically drenched my shoes in blood and made walking a pain the ass since every time I moved my foot up or down the cut would be aggravated.
I normally would put on a band-aid for a few hours or maybe a day to make sure…

“Otherwise, you or the victim may suffer tension pneumothorax, or a collapsed lung, cutting breathing capability in half.”

Not an expert, but I’ve heard that even though your breathing is cut in half- your oxygen levels are cut even more since not only can you barely breath, but your blood carrying a great deal of the…

Solution: Sue the shit out of them.

These are non-medical professionals giving irresponsible and false “medical advice” that can potentially kill children. People spreading these lies should be held liable and potentially face jail time.

I as a non-doctor I have plenty of medical opinions because my mother was a nurse…

I found a card that will get you in easier:

I had a 7PM bedtime till I was probably about 12.
To be honest it never really bothered me... But I was often times pretty sickly as a child between Chronic Strep throat, Chronic Bronchitis, Allergies, Asthma, Anemia, and Menstruation malfunctions where I would bleed months at a time non-stop- starting at the tender…

For anyone in the comments that we should all “shop around” for healthcare.... I would like to sincerely ask you to call a doctor next time you’re sick and ask for a price quote and see what happens.
In the best case scenario they’ll laugh in your face. Before I had insurance I tried to shop around once or twice only…

I prefer to make GIANT pancakes that are still slightly raw on the inside.... >.>

We get basically zero light and are in perpetual shade.
I do have one or two light appropriate plants that can somehow survive without sunlight and watering. I swear I haven’t watered one of them in 2 years- but its managing to still grow and make babies! I feel like its genetic make up needs to be researched for…

Having lived in an apartment for a while (This year we moved into a smaller place to save up money)- I’ve found a few things to do to make it feel more like home.

2 years ago I signed of for a bank account at chase while I worked at chase (thankfully more back office and not an active sales role). I was handed a whole bunch of papers to sign to open everything up... and much to the employees frustration I demanded to read them all before signing- she tried to rush me through it…
