Why not? Rank 1 pain is just boring. 2 and 3 is where it gets more fun! /hj
Temporary pain can be fun (like leg cramps <3), but if it's uncontrolled and continues for a long time it can be annoying. Definitely agree that the smiley choices on that sign seem a wee bit too masochistic to be making these signs for general use...
Broken arm, collar bone, and pinkie toe all barely hurt 99.9% of the time imo (they'd only experience discomfort if they were stressed) - I'd rate them all 0-2 and two were bad enough to need surgery. But like, also my conscious sense of pain has gotten worse over time. I don't know what it would take for me to rate something above a 5 anymore.
Makes more sense. I think the ER only asked me once when I got there that time, but I wasn't there for long.
My more recent ER trip, they just gave me drugs (like codeine or something I think iirc) without asking if I was in pain or if I wanted any. Kinda disappointed cause I was ready to not lie that time and say 0-1 (mostly because it was visible obvious why I was there, so no worries about people thinking I'm just wasting there time).
What if I'm not really consciously aware of the pain I'm supposed to be feeling?
And what's the point anyways? Just to determine if I need pain meds and what kind? Why even offer me a painkiller (even if just an OTC painkiller) when I said like 2 (maybe that was based on the xray rather than my self-report, but I exaggerated the pain up because I thought 0-1 would have made it even harder for them to take my injury seriously pre-xray)? Should I report the discomfort levels when I intentionally stress the injury or when in a comfortable position levels?
In my brain, I associate the "No U" meme with furries?
Yes. I had a streamer whom I watched for a while whom I kinda suspected for that reason alone (and I later found out that was the case). As far as I know, I never had seen her mention anything about gender.
Granted, a high percent of the people in the part of twitch I frequent are at least a little gender queer. So assuming someone is trans is probably more likely to be correct than assuming they're completely cis.
There's some fun articles. Although I think they frequently drag on a little too long for a gag given my preference for not reading more than a few paragraphs at a time.
Its a reoccurring gag.
R - Formally I - Women's S - Aid E - Service.
Weird acronym where none of the letters match the name, but cool they have an organization specifically for former women. /j
There are two bands I headcanon as being the same singer. One sings a lot about things like depression, hating going home to family, and masking and the other is a newer band that is explicitly trans. For some reason, the music —not the lyrics or voice, but rather the instruments and style — remind me (and my brother who doesn't pay attention to lyrics) of each other. I don't think they are actually the same person, but on the off chance I'm wrong, I'd rather not give band names.
As a fellow human-hands haver, I think I'd take a N64 controller over the default switch controllers. Fortunately other input devices exist.
Feels right to whom? A 1, maybe 2, is probably how I'd rate it if I was trying to be honest unless they're seriously stressing it without a warning. In which point, I'd just be totally confused how to rate it, but they could probably get a decent idea about the discomfort from my reaction.
Or feels right for the injury I assume I have? Should I just guess what other people would say or lookup values on the way to the ER?
Or go somewhere in the middle so it's not so obvious I'm lying about experiencing pain when I look like I'm not really in pain?
