- Comment on Why didn't the mother just use her private doctor on her yacht? 2 days ago:
My Son broke his arm (type 3 fracture) last week. We went to our local ER and were seen immediately. We ended up spending 3 nights in hospital and having multiple surgeries to pin and correct the break. He’s on a 6 week care plan with scheduled appointments with a specialist team.
Want to guess how much it cost us? $0 (or 1.5% bracketed tax of my income per year) b-b-but that’s socialism!!
No we don’t have fancy private health insurance, we just live in a country that doesn’t punish it’s citizens for being poor.
The USA needs a revolution.

Humans evolved being social. Hunting and gathering food, protecting the tribe from predators, raising the young. Not everyone needs or wants friends, but social inclusion is hardwired into our brains.
You’re either very young and naïve, or very self centered and lack empathy/are a sociopath. Either way, grow the fuck up.

Maybe using the sugar free version and they have an intolerance to the sweeteners? The sugar free version wrecks my guts, but no worries with the normal type.

For the love of Mithras do not get a fucking firestick. The amount of data collection and phone home requests those things do is actually insane. Not to mention they’re locked down hard now, you can’t even change launchers. You’ll be back at square one with a TV spewing ads at you without consent, and you can’t do shit.

As someone who takes antipsychotics, I hope Carol is taking hers.

‘Baked Beans on Toast’ is a staple breakfast food in Australia too. It’s served in most cafes, usually alongside eggs, bacon, chipolatas, hash brown, and a grilled tomato.

I’d love to make the switch. I was looking into custom roms for my S24U and finally decided I’m okay with tripping Knox, so I’d give it a go… Nope! Samsung has removed the ability to unlock the bootloader in OneUI 8, with no path to downgrade. So I’m stuck with an excellent piece of hardware, running software that collects and sells my data.

Yep it’s just Paracetamol (aka Acetaminophen depending on your locality). Always buy the generic, it’s the same shit in a less flashy box.
