I mean, many of the disabilities that make drinking without a straw difficult/impossible also make cooking difficult/impossible. I just wish the horrors at the EPA were getting the kind of attention straws are right now. 

I enjoy it when the HoH people around me can enjoy their experience. If you can’t enjoy a movie with CC that’s your problem and you can stay home and watch movies on Netflix. It goes both ways, asshole.

My mom used to bribe me with Barbies as a kid to go to the chiropractor. She also didn’t get me vaccinated. These things may be connected.

If you’re shitting your way to detoxing, you probably have severe liver issues and are currently taking lactulose. That or you’re looking for a way to make your eating disorder more socially acceptable but aren’t really ‘detoxing’.

HANDWASHING IS THE #1 MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO TO PREVENT INFECTION. That holds true for pretty much any kind of infection, UTIs included. That means warm water, soap, and the length of time it takes to sing the birthday song twice, ‘cause I KNOW most people think they wash fine when they don’t.

As an American citizen, I did not have an opinion on the duchess until now. Anyone who looks that genuinely happy to be in the presence of a kitty is good in my book.

Lying flat makes it a lot harder to breathe as well. Whenever I’m taking vitals on a patient and their O2 is below 90 the very first thing I do is put the head of their bed up to at least 30 degrees. This makes a very significant difference in breathing. I know I’m late to the game, but I want to point out to anyone…

Yes, but that is also as a medical professional who knows the horrors of foot fungus. Also make sure you dry your feet thoroughly (including between the toes) and do not put lotion between your toes because that area tends to remain moist.

I’ve honestly never called anyone a cunt before. The word itself just kind of pisses me off. But yeah, she’s a cunt.

Yeah a friend posted a video of her shit on fb a few days ago. She has another one where she throws popcorn fucking everywhere while ‘tripping’. It made me so angry. Not funny at all.

A (kind of) friend of mine is like that. She’s a perfectly fine human being, but her boyfriend is a racist piece of trash. He asked her if she’d ever slept with a black man because that would have ruined her or something. Her response when I asked her how she deals with that was basically, “Well it doesn’t really…

Am I the only one who just hates shaking people’s hands? I don’t like touching their nasty unwashed hands, I don’t like wondering what is the appropriate amount of pressure to use, and I don’t like it when people squeeze my hand hard. A nice nod of acknowledgement should be enough.

Speaking as a bi person, I wouldn’t call it a ‘political’ identity, but whatevs. Your friends can identify however the fuck they like, but when you say you have friends who were straight and are now gay, it sounds like you’re the one coming up with the identifier. Maybe that’s not the case. I just know that I get…

Yeah, I feel you. I don’t know anything about this person’s friends in question (or how they personally identify), but I do know that it’s really fucking annoying when people describe me as straight because I’ve been monogamous with the same guy for over 6 years. That’s what it sounded like this person was assuming,…

Just throwing it out there that your friends are likely just bi.

“the color of poo” Clearly you have not worked in healthcare. The colors and consistencies would amaze you.

I wear scrubs. Every day. We also have the option of wearing plain t-shirts with scrub pants, but I need the pockets on the scrub tops. They’re basically pajamas that make me look competent somehow.

Take it from someone who’s worked in healthcare for a while now - spending time with dying people isn’t what makes you want to cry, it’s reflecting on the situation later.

This honestly made me laugh out loud. I’ve been following Jezebel for years now, and although overall I really enjoy the articles and commentary, it has historically done a shit job of covering science-related topics. It’s a great place to hear from people who are generally like-minded about political topics but…

I guess the inverse is true too, because I only have brothers and I’m a total slob.
