I remember being thirsty *all the time* as a kid. The teacher would line us up at the water fountain and chant “1 2 3 that’s enough for me” and it was NEVER ENOUGH. Also “leave some for the fishes”, fuck the fishes, I’m thirsty!

The Romans spent weeks each year for hundreds of years watching people get gruesomely murdered for the LULZ...

I would volunteer as a witness if volunteering as a witness did not assist the state in the executions (as in, I was a witness, not a warm body helping the state check off a box on a must do list before the execution). Much for the same reasons Totoro Recall stated.

My state has no death penalty, though, so it’s moot.…

This is so damn interesting.

The republicans are damned either way. On one hand, they can repeal it and replace it with a disaster (what the Death- I mean, Freedom Caucus wants). Lots of people lose insurance, some people die, it just looks bad across the board. Or they can leave it, and not live up to that one damn…

I’m pretty sure, at this point, they could feed all of Buzz’s lines into an AI program and have it say anything buzz would possibly say. It’s not like he’s a great thinker or anything...

I had acute trigeminal pain (dxd TN but I don’t think it was TN) for about a month at one point... it was awful. Opiates didn’t touch the pain. Opiates simply made me high enough that I stopped feeling like cutting my face off. I cried when it finally went away.

Do you know what the research was for? I’m interested. I suspect they were just testing the safety of an adult formula (for people who are tube fed) but I’m interested to know if it was for something else.

Gastrointestinal illnesses is pretty common, and twice a year is totally within the norm. The author doesn’t seem to be very fluent with medical science... so I am guessing she just assumes every case of vomiting and/or diarrhea is food poisoning?

Damn, that’s a shit ton of pseudoscience. It’s like you were playing quackery bingo.

Don’t think it’s inpatient rehab or nothing. You can start with seeing your doctor (naltrexone does help) and an outpatient counselor, or going to a support group (there’s more out there than just AA if that’s not your thing). There are a lot of intensive outpatient programs out there, too, where you go to groups…

I’m not sure if girls are easier or if people go into it with the preconcieved notion“girls are easy, boys are hard” and then it’s just a self fulfilling prophecy.

I don’t know how *I* was trained, but I do know when my mom tried to introduce it (I think I was like 18 months) I woke up one night, insisted I needed to…

You must be fun at parties.

“puts a bummer” gets 375k on google. For comparison, “puts a damper” gets 275k.

I know, “your colloquialism is WRONG and mine is RIGHT” will forever be something people debate in the comments section. So I’m not defending it, outside of the say, I’m not the first person (nor the last) to use that phraseology.

Yeah, I wouldn’t potty train before around the 3rd birthday simply for convenience. At that point they can usually hold it for long enough to make it to the bathroom.

I’m amazed by these people who try and potty train non-walking infants. It’s like... I don’t have the time of sanity needed for that endeavor.

I think a lot of parents will send un-potty trained kids to daycare in pull ups because they feel guilty and want to look like they’re doing something. Plus to potty train straight to unders you really need to be able to stay home for a few days to a week, and that’s not possible for a lot of working families.

This is how we trained my brothers. No pants at home for about a week and after that they were trained.

We tried underwear first, but the oldest would just use underwear like a diaper so that was useless. Pull ups were a joke- he wore them to preschool (he trained LATE) but otherwise he was in regular, cheap, store…

Also, the lack of enchanted inanimate objects sort of puts a bummer on the whole thing.

I love Joe, but it’s not bipartisan when one side wants to cure everyone and the other wants to cure those who can pay.

The goal is to destroy government. Like, legitimately, people who are handling him (does anyone REALLY think he’s in control?) want the world to burn.
