“This is the town where no bar will let you drink in peace, and any round of beers MUST come with some bus stop hoodrat twanging away with a steel guitar at maximum volume.”

There’d be a lot of churches without priests if they kicked out all of the abusers.... Can’t collect tithe if there’s no one to lead the congregation.

I’m a physician at a children’s hospital. I HATE guns. I can’t ever play any somewhat “realistic” shooter anymore - no more CoD or the like. Sci-Fi (Destiny or Mass Effect or Doom or Fallout) I can compartmentalize it as fantasy. But the modern or world war types, no, too close to home. Ditto for movies - I can watch…

He’s definitely wearing a diaper under that suit in that picture, right?

I only recently deleted every game from my phone. It was super stressful doing it at the time, but I’ve never regretted it. Listen to podcasts or audiobooks on my commutes or while doing chores, play console or PC games when I have time to sit and give undivided attention. In retrospect, mobile gaming never grabbed…

Yep, but at work and having Kinja issues! Will get back to you.

Yep, got one just to play around with and love it. Went up to the mountains recently and got great from-the-air pics of the landscape, fire-pit hangouts, etc. I recommend getting the one that comes with a Bluetooth controller.

100% this. I’m a mid-30's father of 1 (soon to be 2) with a 60-80 hour work week... BUT I still love games and will play the crap out of them if they hold my attention. It’s that last part that’s a problem. Games nowadays do tend to just sort of... peter out. Games recently I’ve started and just gotten bored and quit…

Was more a commentary on bigotry in medicine in general, not necessarily her specific bigotry. Sorry for not being clear.

Yeah, I’m not sure what the licensure requirements are for EMTs (probably varies by state), but every single one of them involved should lose their jobs and license. Curious what their state credentialing board thinks of such behavior.

This is absolutely disgusting.

I know the first one was not the best (although it’s dear in my heart) but looking forward to rainbow skies on June 26... (sequel to rainbow moon)

Definitely not the first time she’s done this. As a physician I can tell you the medical community can be just as racist and homophobic as the general public - sometimes more so - with disastrous results. Large academic centers tend to be a bit better as they’re often centered in liberal communities and have a younger…

Great episode.

That just made me laugh out loud in the middle of a quiet room at work.

Yeah, I was an RA. Only words I ever had was when the freshmen were being loud and drunk (quiet and drunk was fine, just let me and everyone else sleep), and even then I just told them to STFU. Never even wrote anyone up. Fuck this asshole RA.

As an undergraduate engineering student longer ago than I’d like to admit, I hated hated HATED the theta tau dickwads. They even acted like they were “better” because they were engineering students. Fuck those guys (fuck all frats).

Yep. I have a degree in engineering and have never once worked as an engineer. I NEVER say “well as an engineer...” That would be a dick move.

Toys are definitely the place to start (my 2 year old started out as an infant with the plush droids and Yoda, loved them). He’s graduated to a full on Star Wars bedroom with the hyperspace wall mural, lots of Star Wars wall hangings and starship wall stickers, bedding, BB-8 stuffed chair, huge Falcon pillow, etc...…

“This just goes to show that none of you learned the most basic lesson in medicine, medicine 101, that you should have learned in your first week: don’t trust your patients,” Dr. Strampel is quoted saying. “Patients lie to get doctors in trouble. And we’re seeing that right now in the news with this Nassar stuff. I…
