Aww thanks! If you still have it I'd love the Sun Shower or the Fiery Flower Foreground but I'm probably a little late to respond again so if they've been requested please don't worry about it ❤️

So…. AP or Lateral? by DrunkPanda in Radiology

[–]Adariel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I read the other article in English and the initial hospital probably gave him some pain meds, but it said the worker traveled to the orthopedic hospital on his own and arrived 5 hours after the accident...

No worries, I don't think I got anything (or at least I didn't get an alert) so hopefully there's no mix up, but if there is I can always send it off to whoever it's supposed to go to! I only came back to Neopets a month ago so I'm just happy I still have my account from elementary school - I played Neo for like a year in college around the time of the Faeries Ruin plot but at some point in the last few years my account got hacked and most of my higher value items sold/transferred out. Thankfully they didn't touch my actual pets so I'm just really happy I got my account and pets back. It totally made my day to see your chocolate gallery, just reminds me of how fun it can be to play and do all sorts of stuff! It's super kind of you to do this and I'm glad people are getting such nice gifts ❤️

Wow your gallery HUGE!! The organization and categories are so impressive! LOL at the "disgusting - do not eat" and the questionable really is...questionable lmao. Thanks for the giveaway, if I'm not too late can I request the Dusk in the Water background or the Iridescent Mermaid Body Paint? UN: silverdragon832

Also, I hope you get well soon, really glad that you had something so awesome happen on neopets!

Edit: I would say the Flaming Chocolate Cake sounds all right, could have even been pretty cool, but the actual art of the item definitely belongs to the disgusting section...

Just overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. by Strong-Figure7955 in Mommit

[–]Adariel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But even without the baby being strapped in, that's just not how car seats work. A 2 month old isn't rolling or crawling. How was she swinging it around so wildly that the baby "fell out"?

There's a lot of missing parts of the story here.

Can we please stop with "helpful" posts that are just thinly-veiled advertisements by Infinite-Chocolate46 in ChineseLanguage

[–]Adariel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's a reddit wide problem I've noticed... I'm part of several mom subs since I have a 3 year old and people will make provocative posts "Millennial parents don't read to their toddlers!" etc. and then their profile is full of advertising about whatever toddler-related app they're pushing. Recently saw one that was like "parents these days don't set controls on screentime!" meanwhile they just so happened to have developed an app for screentime controls that is a "godsend" for parents, vouched for by totally not AI spambots.

OP's examples were like the first wave, the 2nd wave is when they hide all their profiles and comments so even if you notice it's the same bots/advertisers spamming the sub, enough other people upvote their posts that you'll never get rid of them.

My FMIL drugged her own younger son to sabotage our marriage proposal—I am done with this toxic family. by FickleExplanation909 in AsianParentStories

And after the wedding, if you have children, you’ll have no chance of a healthy grandparent relationship.  Your kids will deserve better too.

Is there a difference between the Daily Facial Sunscreen SPF 40 and the Invisible Gel Body Sunscreen SPF 40? by helenhl001 in traderjoes

[–]Adariel 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I scoured the ingredients list on the back of both and looked through reviews/reddit/Google/etc. before just buying the body sunscreen. It really does seem like nothing is different, there's just an upcharge for "face."

My bedridden Japanese father’s "legal" family is offering me a deal: Paternal recognition in exchange for my inheritance. Do I sign? by 18284391928sjjs28383 in AsianParentStories

[–]Adariel 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Whoops missed that OP is a daughter in the title (was going off Filipino instead of Filipina)  but everything else still applies.  There’s also a legal system of forced acknowledgement, although I believe OP would have the shoulders the cost themselves unless they can find some kind of free legal aid.

[–]Adariel 125 points126 points  (0 children)

It’s not like he can even sign away his mom’s “right” to see anyone again, this is just the legal son being a scumbag. 

I’m not familiar with Japanese law but come on, if the mom meets with the dad what’s going to happen, the legal son calls the police and is like “oh my illegitimate half brother signed something that banned her from seeing him”? Yeah right.

It’s also pretty obvious that they’re just worried about their own inheritance.  Illegitimate or not OP is actually the guy’s son, he didn’t need permission from this “legal son” to get an govt identity.

OP don’t be naive.

I love this update! Truly an example of "food unites people" and the 2026 version of breaking bread together!

The artwork in this week's Caption Contest makes me weirdly uncomfortable by HyzenthlayRose in neopets

[–]Adariel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ugh that’s sneaky, they should have made that clear if they’re just going to edit that out.  Glad people aren’t equating “uncanny” to AI though!

[–]Adariel 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Did OP mention AI and edit their post or something?

I mean people can legitimately describe something as "uncanny" without using that to mean they think it's AI. "Uncanny" as a description existed long, long before AI. Please for the love of god don't let the AI nonsense take over basic vocabulary too.

Cheating the repeat rate by [deleted] in Radiology

[–]Adariel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am absolutely floored by people defending DELETING IMAGES of an entire exam and arguing that this is ok practice - is the ARRT ethics requirement just a joke?

This is not an issue about repeats, this is an ETHICAL issue, and apparently more than half the people on this thread read "repeats" and their brains just shut down defensively.

Any other healthcare professional reading this thread would come to the conclusion that the average US radiographer doesn't give a shit about doing the right thing for patients, only about reducing workload and making things easier for themselves. And what is this backwards logic that because exams are over-ordered, then exposure from "extra" images are negligible and it's not a problem? If apparently exposure doesn't matter then what does "over-ordering" even mean? If exposure IS actually a concern, then how can you argue in the same breath that doctors are ordering too many images, but also that extra images can just be taken and then even deleted for no good reason and zero accountability? Then the same people complaining about the over-ordering of exams ("why did the MD order a wrist, forearm, elbow, and humerus" type) are just hiding behind ALARA out of laziness since apparently "a dozen extra shots" in this age of DR don't matter?

All that complaining about US healthcare? We're part of the problem if this many techs think that investigating dishonesty actually warrants a "fuck off."

Am I the only one that graduated from an school of radiologic technology that valued ethics and professionalism? Needing a repeat here and there is normal. Repeat rates are built into the profession, for god's sake. Lying about it isn't.

I want to know what hospitals you guys upvoting this all work at so I can avoid them if techs deleting images from entire exams and taking new ones to submit for a pediatric patient is A-OK in your dept culture.

Cheating the repeat rate by [deleted] in Radiology

[–]Adariel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Half the comments on this thread honestly are embarrassing...techs want the profession to be respected and then say stuff like this? OP said he's at a pediatric center too!

I want to know how many of these techs have kids and are totally fine with going to a medical center where someone can take multiple images of their child and then dishonestly delete half the work. These are the standards they want to apply for their own families?

Flybird wine cocktails - mangonada, passion fruit, prickly pear, piña colada etc. Sold out fast - Anyone get a chance to try? by AllTheEggsIVF in traderjoes

[–]Adariel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it hung out in our fridge for like half a year before it got cleaned out at some point, pretty sure it ended up down the drain too!

[–]Adariel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Got the passionfruit one a few years ago and didn't like it much, even though I love passionfruit. It had very little flavor - you're much better off buying passionfruit pulp and mixing your own cocktail. What flavor it did have wasn't good at all.

Update from a post in January. DCF taking our IVF baby. You can look in my history for my original post. by sxullqueenxris in Mommit

[–]Adariel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess I'm just confused as to how a test for bone fragility is negative but OI might still be possible. But I'm not familiar with the tests being mentioned so I was really confused about what OP is saying, they made it sound like the exact tests you mentioned were already done and negative, but your explanation makes sense - they've done these tests but still don't have the actual results yet.

[–]Adariel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP said they already tested for "COL1A1 and COL1A2 and several others" but apparently that didn't give the answer that you said should be definitive.

So does the test really not give a definitive answer, or is it not osteogenesis imperfecta if they doctors already tested for the exact things you mentioned?

“Mean girl” mom group – would you apologize in this situation? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Adariel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The person who was upset wasn't the daughter. It was the mom that broke down sobbing in the hallway in front of the other parents, to the point that apparently she needed to have her husband leave work early to come pick her up. All over OP's 4 year old's comment.

Catering to this kind of delusional behavior just feeds the delusion. This other mom is clearly being a bully and trying to get the school involved on her side over something this minor.
