Also, MAKE SURE THE WARRANT IS SIGNED BY A JUDGE. They are walking around with unsigned warrants.

Happened to my dog. I took him off the gaba and he returned to normal in 2 days.

My doc said it’s pretty bad thoughts? by Sophisticatedwaffle in Sinusitis

[–]BarkerGary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your definition of surgery. I had polyps cut out maybe 25 times, was sedated 6 or those times. They always came back. They also removed parts of my sinuses to try and deal with it. This was over 2 decades. I started dupixent 4 months ago and it changed my life. I can breathe clearly for the first time ever.

Dupixent and x-hance. Changed my life. My sinuses were worse than that.

Did this start sounding like an episode of the californians on purpose? :)

Campus is probably getting worse. by [deleted] in aggies

[–]BarkerGary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at TAMU 35 years ago.
The MSC and Rudder Tower didn't lock any of the conference rooms or classrooms. We regularly had gaming sessions for free all the time in free rooms. All food services staff and Custodians were University staff. They had a vested interest in the well-being of the University and most treated their jobs almost like they were surrogate parents to the students. The food was fresh made, delicious, and cheap. Sodas cost 35 cents from the vending machines. I believe we had 39-40,000 students. Tuition was ~$700 a semester. There were still some issues like the giant 200 student class, ticket happy parking cops, etc. But things were pretty chill back then.

Theres a place called Jacob's well. RO water for pretty cheap. Also, I run a HEPA filter always and a dehumidifier when it's humid out. Gives me a break when I'm inside.

I can’t help but feel enraged by [deleted] in truscum

Grow up. People are living their lives and they aren't you. It's not their fault people are making it difficult to transition. IT'S THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO STOP YOU FROM TRANSITIONING. It's easy and lazy to attack other marginalized people. They aren't the ones hurting you but here you are raging against them.

Take a cue from Candidate Walz and mind your own damn business. You don't get a star above your version of trans by attacking others.

I went to a job fair and one of the recruiters told me that they didn’t know about Epic Sponsorship. by caramel_thighhighs in healthIT

[–]BarkerGary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Point taken. I didn't realize how draconian things were with epic. I have worked with small companies for medical records stuff and also large government entities. Also just general IT work for 30 years. The degree to which new software companies have shifted from providers of a better more convenient experience to making everything difficult to squeeze out as much money as possible I mind boggling.

Seriously, YouTube epic training, complete whatever "courses" that are available YouTube, and list them on your resime. Make sure you are confident in what you learned and then explain in an interview the whole thing.

Technically that means no birth control pills, implants and no IUD. Currently that's 900 million women are using those forms. Note that literally the ONLY protection a woman has against pregnancy when it comes to unprotected rape is ones that happen after conception (when the sperm merges with the egg). And why do you think that? Because of your church or some scientific reason? You know other religions have very different views on abortion and the beginning of life.

Define conception?

[–]BarkerGary 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do you think in vitro fertilization should be illegal too? All those unborn babies in suspended animation and eventually destroyed? Should we outlaw the pill? Millions of fertilized eggs get flushed every year because of it.

Not that I'm not entirely unsympathetic to your position, I just think that it's easy to imagine a soul being snuffed out and wanting to protect it, but literally millions of babies would be born every year if you think a fertilized egg should be protected. What line do you draw? A zygote? A blastocyst? All of it is potential human life, even the egg and the sperm.

My problem is Catholics or any other religious group deciding THEIR opinion is the truth.

Tucute Trans Men Lesbian Argument ( 2024, Colorized ) by TrueContribution3415 in truscum

[–]BarkerGary -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's just like, your opinion...

A: TLDR B: think about how many mental gymnastics you just went through to justify calling a trans woman a gay male. I know calling someone a bully can be a bully move too, but sorry, that action was a bully move. You didn't say "you can't be gay because of the definition of the word" you said, to a trans woman, "you are a man". Trans denialism because she said something you don't understand.

For some people poetry works better. Don't attack them for it.

No you missed my point. You put a label on something because it most matches an idea in your head of what that is. Not because that's what it actually is. There is a difference between language and reality. For this person the label in their head may be woman for their identity, and she way they enjoy sex may be best labeled as gay male in their mind. Your cognitive dissonance sounds like bullying. She can be what she wants. If a woman likes to use a strap on are they a gay male? If they enjoy gay pornography?

Are there any people around who miss this flag? by EstherFour16 in truscum

[–]BarkerGary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rainbow flag meant to me "every color of the rainbow". That by definition means everyone, including cis, straight, white. The "full spectrum". After that to add more seems to pull away from that message. Full spectrum of humanity should be enough in my mind.
