Do you think that being in close proximity to a school shooting increases the risk of a school shooting?

What makes you think people are fine with it? ISPs have monopolies over service areas and can do whatever the fuck they want. They have monopolies because of corporate lobbying. No amount of voting gets these corrupt fucks out of office bc votes literally do not matter and there's only two parties, they're both to the right of center, and they're both bought and sold. Just to really make sure, we're all taught from birth that the US is peak civilization and all other countries are backwater shitholes.

My Romanian friend says he is absolutely despised there.

They are slowly rolling it out; the reports have been trickling in for the past few weeks. Last I heard was firefox users getting hit. Apparently not even uBlock is immune.

You have to be brain dead to think there's democracy in the US. Gerrymandering, voter suppression, two senators per state, the electoral college... Wake up.

Don't worry, plenty of Trekkies don't know/care about what's popular either. That's why we're still making memes about a sixty year old series 🥲

What does the vet say?? There are no other antibiotics or painkillers available?

Jesus just go hold and comfort your damn dog. Go sleep on the floor with him. You should hope that if you are ever in a situation where you're in too much pain to sleep, literally screaming, and desperate for comfort from the one person your life depends on, that they don't treat you like such a burden.

Your dog is only a part of your life, but you are your dog's WHOLE life. You're enduring a lack of sleep, but your dog is suffering and does not understand why the person he loves so much won't help him feel better.

Instead you're locking him in a cage and trying to drown out his cries. Be better.

Wow, calling it a "wedgie" seriously buries the lede.

ADD used to be a separate diagnosis, but now they classify both as subtypes of ADHD: Primarily Hyperactive or Primarily Inattentive. I'm ADHD-PI and can't relate to stereotypical hyperactivity at all.

More like what didn't he do. He had a long list of underhanded and ruthless activities and stole most of his "inventions".

I fully believe the dental profession attracts a lot of sadists and freaks. Truly, I have had some horiffic experiences.

I think the previous generations were conditioned to accept it, because the technology and techniques were much more uncomfortable. My parents are impressed as long as the dentist isn't intentionally injuring them, lol.

The best thing I did was switch to a practice for people with dental phobia, and they literally don't do anything special except be very gentle, and make sure you're well anesthesized, and communicate everything, and check in with you frequently, and give plenty of breaks. Like every dentist should do.

People should feel free to be picky about what kind of dentist they see! You can actually have comfortable dental procedures these days!
