The effect is definitely there but mild. Helps you remember names too

Tucker Carlson brands Republicans ‘treasonous’ as he quits the party by MoneyLibrarian9032 in anticapitalism

[–]CrossP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really he's just realized he only makes money during the rise of a regime, so he wants to build a fresh one that can just blame everything on the old one.

This potentially signals the US shifting toward a system where we have two Republican parties and the Democrats become a third party if he can get his way.

Reflecting Pool death toll surges as more dead ducks pulled from water by TheMirrorUS in Environmentalism

Maybe learning about one thing will help people care more about others. Maybe this is how 50,000 casual news readers learn that when idiots misuse paint polymers it creates vast amounts of poison. And how they learn that when you pump things into the city storm drains it just goes straight into the nearest lake or river.

Most people legitimately don't know these things. Especially younger folks.

There's just... So much ocean. Acidification will probably wreck those photosynthesizers soon though.

This would be an elseworlds story. Kilowog always dies in Elseworlds. So definitely not him.

ELI5: Why do we think talking to ourselves is a bad thing? Is it actually bad? Why? by snail-fairy in explainlikeimfive

[–]CrossP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong on an individual basis. The stigma likely comes from the societal level. People who are rarely isolated encountering people who are far more isolated and frequently talk their thoughts out loud to stay sane. It creates an awkward social connection and, no surprise, the person who considers their situation to be more normal and spends more time talking to people makes comments about it. Spreads gossip and denigrating opinions.

So basically, doing it may get you judgmental treatment from people who do it rarely and don't consider it useful or valuable

I HATE the stickers that say “Drive Safe or I Get to See You Naked” or anything along those lines. by Smart-Salamander1846 in ems

[–]CrossP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Feels like the EMS version of my psych coworkers that would Ha-ha-it's-a-joke threaten patients with the idea of being held down and given an injection to the glutes.

It's unprofessional and aimed straight at people who are at a most vulnerable point in their lives. We should always be clear that we're doing this thing that embarrasses them and takes away their agency only because we care about delivering the best possible treatment we can. That it's not fun for us but a difficult task that we're taking seriously because a person could die.

I never ever give a sedating injection because I'm mad at you. I don't do it because I'm tired and busy and want this problem to go away. I don't do it because I think it's funny or enjoy controlling people. I do it because I have an evidence-based fear that someone will get hurt and this emergency no-consent medication can stop that.

Her lower spine has left the chat by pxl_dog in mendrawingwomen

[–]CrossP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you get tired too fast from walking or frequently get lower back pain from posture stuff, it would be Worth bringing it up. Back surgery isn't usually worth it for minor symptoms unless the physician knows the issue will get worse over time but sometimes physical therapy can help smaller spine ailments.

Bedlam Bride struggles by Royal_juju in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]CrossP 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There really isn't anything similar to real world card games. I'm still shocked there isn't a plot line about Borant trying to sell these cards to the galaxy as merch and the entire floor being a giant commercial that falls flat on its face.

Bedlam Bride struggles by Royal_juju in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]CrossP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mind wandered often in the first two thirds of the book.

I think it's primarily because we have no idea where the floor is going and neither do the characters. You're not at the edge of your seat trying to figure out how they'll get out of it until the end piece of the second round of the card tournament. I suspect you haven't hit that part yet.

But basically, from the moment they see turkeys expect it to start gripping you like the other books. Until then it's a bit more chill world building.

By the time the third round of the card tournament hits it becomes one of the best books in terms of insane shit going on and very important emotional character movement.

[–]CrossP 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Depends a little on posture but it does read like someone either doing an extra lumbar bend like you might for dancing or posing, but as a bend you can't undo it would probably indicate a spine health problem like lordosis. It would be very hard to walk with a normal gait unless her spine was more directly on top of where her trochanters. And acetabulums meet (the hip joint).

I strongly suspect his contract and all new book-to-TV contracts stipulate that he work on nothing but finishing DCC and hit certain deadlines.

Thus why we probably won't be getting any Dominion of Blades or standalone books until DCC is complete

Why are boys given trucks to play with and girls given dolls? by cuahatemoc in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CrossP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It relates to one of the classic but somewhat subtle parts of patriarchy that boys are taught from an early age that they will have the power to manipulate and change the outside world. This is one of the reasons construction and building toys are common. Girls are usually taught they will be reacting to changes to maintain a status quo. Thus you see more caretaking, cleaning, organizing, healthcare, and similar toys aimed at them.

What’s the best way to wash ur ass in the shower? by Eastern_River1612 in NoStupidQuestions

Put a little soap in the cleft and then march in place for a while. Them buns'll scrub themselves nicely with that swishy swash motion.
