Stop, you’re confusing them! And when they get confused, they hurt everyone in their confusion!

That’s just good practice in general. Everyone where I’m at rushes straight through medic school if they have the money/time, and it shows. They barely know how to talk to a patient, and then you’re throwing all the various blacktop training at them.
- Comment on You've probably met someone who has killed a person 1 week ago:
but at least the professionals have the training to deal with that somehow
Ha. You want to know the training you get for dealing with death? It’s a couple of sentences uttered by an instructor when some bozo in the class has more curiosity than thought and asks about the ‘yep, he’s dead’ policy. Most of the time you’ll have one of a pair who has done it before, and they just tell the other one what to do (like putting on the electrodes or looking around the room to see what else has been done). That’s the whole of it, adding in the jokes that will be told and the mild amusement of watching the other’s reaction when you grab a coke out of the dead dude’s fridge (I didn’t, but the more experienced one had when he was stuck at a house for six hours).

He’s mocking the typical route of a soldier with a story: a memoir or fictionalized tale of what they did, with the hope the book sells enough to get them a chunk of money or a movie studio makes a movie of it.

It’s going to depend on their condition. Someone who has lost their respiratory drive, someone who has a heart that isn’t working, and someone who is dying of organ failure all have their unique way of passing. And those are just the ones I’ve seen. There’s a saying in my field that everyone dies of shock, but there are lots of ways to get to that point.

That sounds an awful lot like a redneck cajun hocking a loogey.

Just go in knowing that it’s a product of its time. The studio is both great at doing dissection of current-time tropes AND likes to sniff their own farts. Watch the original all the way through, then go find the ‘alternate’ endings that they made.

They don’t care if the hook eventually turns back on them. They’ve spent the best years of their lives getting their rocks off by making you waste the best years of your life.
- Comment on This song, it's infectious 2 weeks ago:
Oh goddamnit. I was listening to the radio with my partner while driving and heard a song that I thought was good, and it was this one. Does that mean I’m infected now?
- Comment on Pickup trucks and SUVs can be used to take out 'problematic' people without anyone knowing 2 weeks ago:
Doing it once may be overlooked, but the second time, you’re in for a real hard time!
Plus, remember that there are always ‘factors’ that are involved in being able to get away with killing someone using a vehicle. Make sure you’re white, they’re a minority, you’re rich, they’re poor, you are in a friendly relationship with the police officer who will show up on scene, or the prosecutor, get a good lawyer (part of you’re rich, I suppose), have something about the other person that is really negative (can be part of they’re a minority if you’re in a really red area)… any I’m forgetting?

you do you
I always do. It’s why this is so sad.

OOoooooh, aight. Well, in that case, let me give you some advice I got from my 15 year old friend when I was 13: conditioner is dangerous, shampoo will do.
- Comment on People that have face/butt labeled towels must do a terrible job washing their butts 2 weeks ago:
Well, one of us is getting their hair pulled in bed tonight, then softly stroked and twirled around the lover’s fingers…
and I don’t think it’s you.
- Comment on People that have face/butt labeled towels must do a terrible job washing their butts 2 weeks ago:
There are 8 billion folks on the earth, and half are guys. I’m sure there are a few who have that thought, but it’s just like anything else: numbers make a mockery of all/none or even most/some claims.
The part about it being gay is also just for trolling/stupid dunking purposes. I would bet that if you got the people you were asking the question of to read a few books and learn to express themselves, you’d find that most people don’t scrub their asshole because it’s generally seen as dirty and contaminated, so they limit themselves to using the toilet paper, thereby not contaminating their hand or wash cloth in the shower. Nothing to do with thoughts of it being gay or not.
- Comment on People that have face/butt labeled towels must do a terrible job washing their butts 2 weeks ago:
Just seems like a waste of paper to me. I go ten or so poops, then wipe and get up from the toilet. Cleaning while you cook makes sense, cleaning while you poop is odd.
- Comment on People that have face/butt labeled towels must do a terrible job washing their butts 2 weeks ago:
Jesus mary fucking llamas, I can’t imagine getting naked in front of a massager, much less being unclean in front of one.

Don’t they have tunnels from france to england? Surely maintenance fellers walk those tunnels, so there would be a way.
- Comment on The Fuck Jar 2 weeks ago:
I would hope the ‘neutral word’ was said at the same volume/rate/tone. Otherwise, yeah, it would definitely be a factor. Just like we can make ourselves angry with our thoughts, there must be a large difference in adrenaline released depending on how you emote.

- Comment on We have just released a grand DLC, War Sails, for our game, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord 3 weeks ago:
Did ya’ll ever implement a more realistic reaction set to executing people? Always thought it was odd that my faction would suddenly hate me for executing the asshole king who had been raiding us for decades, killed my spouse/kids, ate the last grape, and then decided to burn villages to the ground.
Anyway, let us know when the dlc goes on sale for <$5.

“You have received your standard ten minutes of hand holding, please exit the couch and proceed to the kitchen for nutritional time. Five minutes are allotted for hand washing and table-setting.”

Yeah, this would be it for me. If my partner didn’t want to have sex, fine, not a big deal. But if my partner didn’t want to sit next to me and lean on me? If my partner didn’t want to hold hands or hug me from behind while I’m cooking? If I didn’t get a sudden jump into my lap and an insistent plead for a shoulder rub?
Those would break me. Even for the folks who don’t want to admit it, there is a driving need for intimacy, and sex just often sort of fits that need or is used to mask it.

You have to act like the father figure, and best to do it in a way he can’t turn down.
So pay his fucking college bills, dumbass!

How’d you get them to activate abilities? I could see a set up where you train them to turn left or right in reaction to something on the screen. Install a mod to make the health bar take up 25% of the screen, and then activate heals based on them turning left, activate damage abilities when they turn right. Train them to turn left if the bar starts dropping, right if it rises.

Look, the sex license sold by the government was really expensive. How else were they going to give him a brother?

We’ll make our own group, with matrix and hookers! On second thought, forget the hookers, keanu reeves is too wholesome for hookers, and will bring in enough friends for us all to sit shoulder to shoulder with as we take the red pills.

I think I could honestly get away with 128 deep paths. I don’t use more than twenty unique folders in my day-to-day computing. It might be difficult to get the various programs on board with my trans porn name for each folder, but that’s what tinkering is for, eh?
