We’ve had one warehouse fire, yes, but what about second warehouse fire??

Sometimes I wish God was real, so we’d get to see him swoop in and smite these fucking hypocrites.

Chest pain kicks in: Oh fuck today’s the day, aaarrrrgh–

Chest pain subsides: Oh. Well then. finishes my Monster and gets back to work

Are those the black bean patties? Cuz those things are fucking delicious. I’m not vegan or vegetarian or anything, I just like tasty food, and you guys have come up with some good stuff! The impossible burgers are pretty decent too - I’d go for one of those over a ‘beef’ fastfood patty any day (calling those horrid things ‘beef’ is a stretch right out the gate, but you get gist).

Compost the rich*

I wouldn’t recommend eating them - you’d probably catch something nasty. Grinding them up and feeding them to worms is far more appropriate!

says gaming, religion serve similar life purposes

Glad it’s a Buddhist saying this. My knee-jerk was to compare the benign influence of violent videogames to the radicalizing influence of violent religions.

This may just be my lack of familiarity with Buddhism, but my understanding is they’re generally pretty chill and actually make a positive impact on society. Other religions, not so much.

Is there anything stopping me from uploading an ID for Shrek or something? I foresee an explosion of popularity of fake IDs.

Quietly

The developer made this change from a personal laptop at their local public library.

Shhhhhh.

…asking Valve to make a third game in a franchise is a tall fucking order!

The chocolate also got worse. I used to get excited about these this time of year… now they don’t even make me feel nostalgic - everything about them has enshittified to the point of nonrecognition.

Nervously stands up, takes microphone, and looks down at a sheet of paper: “-clears throat- Sure, I can help with that!..”

Ask your doctor if Porkkake is right for you!

There doesn’t seem to be much consistency - even the same patient could find it really painful one operation and not at all the next.

Propofol is weird stuff.

Cataract surgeries you’re typically awake for. Or rather, sleep isn’t drug induced: you’ll still be laying down in a quiet, dark room, so people sometimes fall asleep naturally (and then wake up naturally, understandably freaked out) but they generally won’t give general anesthesia unless you really can’t tolerate it.

Most likely your describing propofol. It’s stored at room temperature, but causes a sensation that’s comparable to Icy Hot, but how it hits an individual patient varies from person to person. In the moment it can feel scalding hot, blistering cold or anything in between, including nothing at all.

The clarity of your memory of that part tells me you might be a touch tolerant to it - I’d run that by your anesthesiologist if you ever need another surgery.

Definitely ask them for which drugs they used, and if you need anesthesia again later, give that list and your symptoms to your anesthesiologist.

The mask is just oxygen - they want your blood as saturated with O2 as it can be. The stuff that knocks you out comes in from the IV, and it knocks you out so completely that you literally don’t even breathe on your own. So, once that stuff kicks in it’s gogogo time for the anesthesiologist, cuz you’re basically holding your breath until they get you intubated, which allows the ventilator to take over.

*There are probably exceptions to that, but 99% of surgeries requiring general anesthesia will go like that.

Okay but what kind of doctor?

ENT clinic? Probably what the message is shooting for.

Surgeon? You’ll have a front facing gown, but your ass will most likely be on display.

ER? Why does that patient still have clothes on?? Grab some bandage scissors and chop that shit off!
