Well the downside to the "you break [the virginity] you buy it" mindset (aside from the literal objectification) is that having to formally marry the child also means the child is formally married to (and stuck with) the pedo. At least the informal version is probably less legally complicated to flee from.

Relying on emergency services only wastes soooooo much money. Waiting until problems are acute and they HAVE to be treated under EMTALA means doing way more expensive treatments and clogs up emergency services. Not to mention that not vaccinating or treating bacterial infections results in a bunch of cooties getting spread around the community. And when they're getting those emergency services they can't pay for them so the cost has to get absorbed into the bills of the patients who can pay either directly or through insurance.

"I don't wanna pay for other people's Healthcare!"

You already are, just in the least efficient and most expensive way possible.

I went into nursing instead of astrophysics. Decided I wanted a job that would outlast the apocalypse.

Fun fact I learned waaay too late in my nursing career: if a patient has lost or damaged their amplifying hearing aid, you can put a stethoscope in their ears and talk into the bell.

None of you will ever use this but I share it with everyone now because it's really neat and I wish I knew it 10 years ago.

People act like me not getting off the raised republican train until my early 20s is really slow but that's when as a female child they allowed me to leave the house regularly for things other than school or church.

That's what the last respondent under the "cultural research" section said and I too want to know why the only sane respondent was listed last.

My question is - why is the only sane respondent listed last?

Physicist Emil Kowalski from Baden, Switzerland, proposed that terminal storage locations be constructed in such a way that future generations could reach them only with a high technical ability. The probability of an unwanted breach would then become extremely small. Kowalski expected that cultures able to perform such excavations and drilling would be able to detect radioactive material and be aware of its dangers.

Also I've been thinking about making one of these. I already made ones for me and my partner that say "goblin" and "mothman" a la

(I can't find the og Tumblr post)

In retrospect the fact that I felt like I should be drawn to banshee, harpy, selkie or succubus, but was ultimately much more drawn to goblin and cryptid was an early sign of me not really having a gender (jokes on me, now I'm an agendered succubus. Well, sort of. It turns out succubus vs incubus has more to do with bottoming / topping than it does with gender and I'm a switch so I AM a concubus, but NOT because of my gender or lack thereof).

you're welcome for the laughter

I've been casting a hexagram a day and using ifate's simplified modern translation as image prompts. This one came out particularly interesting, but I've got some others here.

I've gotten really into esoteric spirituality lately, and I've been thinking about telling some stories from tarot readings then turning those into images if you all are interested.

 

Also happened in 2017 when the same supplier's facility in Puerto Rico got hit (the US's primary IV / dialysis fluid supplier). They already knew this was an issue and never actually fixed it. IV fluids are one of the most basic medical supplies. And if I'm hearing correctly a lot of hospitals aren't rescheduling elective surgeries (and some electives are necessary / time limited but many aren't or are even cosmetic). Completely preventable problem that could be being managed better even now it's happened.

 

Haven't been working at it as hard as I should've. She's taking treats now though!

 

They're dishwasher safe! (At least so far) I throw the caps in the utensil basket.

Shameless clone of one of my favorite Facebook groups for real science diagrams and infographics that just look fucking silly.
