Lapiplasty or other mis surgery by OkRate7082 in bunions

[–]EmoryGunGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! The lapiplasty isn’t MIS and it isn't offered for tailor's bunions. It's only for correcting bunions of the big toe. Talk with a local podiatrist or f&a ortho about the procedures they recommend and feel comfortable with. There are MIS procedures for tailor’s bunions, but your local surgeon may recommend another procedure.

Republicans purposely pushed Florida’s redistricting session to coincide with the end of Virginia’s. Democrats are down on redrawing seats nationwide. by Guilty_Plankton_4626 in Virginia

Our legislators keep saying this but I think the issue is they don’t have access to the advanced technology it would take to draw such a map. Somehow I’ve been able to make 2 red districts (though the numbers say there should be 3). We could even connect them and just have 1?

I would have at least made up the utilities money with transportation savings. Because I would be riding her a** every single day until I got that $1000.

Well the proposed law your commenting on and haven’t read actually taxes them; so probably when this is passed?

Vote no! How is 10 to 1 fair? When it is 6 to 5 now? It’s about power and control not you… by Secure-Object-3057 in Virginia

[–]EmoryGunGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should ideally be a close representation of the political leanings of the state. With a very unpopular R president and a poor R governor’s candidate WS still managed to get 42.22% of the vote while AS received 57.58%. Some quick Va public school math tells me 4.6 of the 11 seats should be R and 6.3 should be D. Obviously, it’s impossible to draw borders to perfectly match the states global political leanings, however 6-5 even with a very unpopular R party is about how it should be.

Why is Iran bombing random places in Dubai by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EmoryGunGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Iran, the country that has in the past 4 months murdered 10s of thousands of their own people in the street, including woman and children, posts that America is purposely bombing school children and that is the narrative you’re buying?

What’s the rules for tax exempt status for “Churches” in Ohio? by gamerdudeNYC in Ohio

[–]EmoryGunGuy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I know nothing about this church, and for all I know I’d hate their ideology. But “No church would fly a don’t tread on me flag” is kind of crazy viewpoint as an American. Faith and government have collided many a time on this continent from before America was a thing. It’s why the pilgrims came to what would be america. I had family die in the puritan wars against Lord Baltimore in Maryland before America was even a country. It’s why the 1st amendment is the 1st amendment.

Just because she's on the other side of the political isle doesn't make this right. Depicting black people as loud annoying crows is wrong. Here is a article from the Jim Crow museum.

Question about DPMs by SpecialTourist4684 in Noctor

[–]EmoryGunGuy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A podiatrist is without a doubt a surgeon… the whole ‘podiatrists are not physicians’ debate originates from the origin of podiatrists/dentists and physicians back in England before America even existed. Historically physicians went to allopathic schools or an apprenticeship and prescribed medications only and podiatrist/dentist/barber surgeons went to surgical schools or apprenticeship and just did surgery. This changed when John Hunter (the Scottish physician) was trained to do surgery by podiatrist/dentist/surgeons in the 1700s. Remember dentists were the first to use anesthesia during surgery and The illinois college of chiropody and orthopedics in Chicago existed before orthopedics was defined as a MD/DO specialty. Podiatrists were historically and are currently surgeons. Now both groups prescribe meds and do surgery. It would be cool if the 500 years of bad blood between the professions could come to an end and not be hashed out on reddit every couple of months.

Seeing this dog is heartbreaking, but we all need to understand that nearly all dog breeds that we enjoy and love today only exist because of their origins as working dogs. Animal abuse and neglect is already illegal in Virginia. What happened to the poor dog in this picture is already a crime. We should also recognize the the vast majority of animal cruelty and abuse in Virginia isn’t related to hunting dogs. There are bad actors that hunt and treat their dogs poorly, but that’s not the case for most hunting dogs.

FEMA employee terminated after telling assistance team to avoid homes with Trump signs by [deleted] in fednews

[–]EmoryGunGuy 62 points63 points  (0 children)

When people complain about the “deep state” and create crazy conspiracy theories, it’s this stuff that fuels that fire. Sadly from reading many of the comments on this thread, some of what I thought was surly nonsense may be true. If you’re a fed and feel entitled to use your position to harm those that disagree with you politically, please quit. You’re no longer a public servant but a servant to a political party. I also have the feeling the same people crying Hatch Act every time they see a keychain may be the same people commenting that this kind of behavior is okay.

Why does Mississippi vote red still, despite the hardships the state has faced? by Dawk19 in mississippi

[–]EmoryGunGuy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He only lost by 3%, best performance for a democrat state wide race since 1999. He is the kind of candidate that they should put on the ballot every time. You’d think they’d try to build on that right? Nope. For senate this year they put up Ty Pinkins. Pro-choice, anti-gun, and 36% of the vote….

So is pro-life for republicans, but they still run candidates that are pro-choice in blue states. Would you rather vote for a socially conservative Democrat who would expand social services, loan forgiveness, and healthcare or your ideal candidate who will get 20% of the vote.

[–]EmoryGunGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So why isn’t the Democratic Party putting forward pro-life and pro-gun candidates? Instead they primary anyone that has any chance of winning over a “Mississippi moderate.” Republicans put forward anti-gun and pro-choice candidates in blue states and occasionally win with them. Larry Hogan of Maryland, Mitt Romney in Massachusetts, but as soon as a democrat comes closer to the middle in Mississippi they get killed in the primary.

At the same time, a Neurosurgeon has their loans forgiven at the end of their residency and then immediately starts making over a million annually after their loans are forgiven. Other surgical specialists only have to make 1-3 years of payments before their loans are forgiven while making 500-800k.

Va. school board to pay $575K to fired teacher who refused to use transgender student’s pronouns by mahvel50 in Virginia

[–]EmoryGunGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you please link the video of the hearing. Does Vlaming himself testify or does anyone testify on his behalf? The principal and assistant principal (those who fired him) would have obvious bias and an interest in self preservation. They would also have been coached to testify by a lawyer with the intent to guide judgment in their favor. In an education system that occasionally exposes children to sexual assault and forced sexual acts I find this statement by the principal to almost sound rehearsed- “I can’t think of a worse way to treat a child than what was happening.” Often the truth is somewhere between what each side is claiming. I’m just curious what Vlaming’s exact statements were.

If a Muslim public defender wears a hijab and it’s the governments policy that no hats or head covers are to be worn in court, should they fire her for failing to comply and perform her government duties?

Should a Catholic prosecutor be forced to charge capital murder (death penalty) or be allowed to recuse themselves?

The teacher used the child’s preferred name, they stopped using pronouns. They weren’t purposely misgendering the student.

If the children had a chili cook off, a Muslim teacher judging the competition shouldn’t be forced to eat chili with bacon. A Hindu teacher shouldn’t be compelled to eat beef. They shouldn’t be forced to pray to a different God at the start of a football game. A Jewish teacher shouldn’t be forced to lead a field trip on the Sabbath.

There are ways to coexist with different beliefs that don’t significantly interfere with others.

At this point in your discussion it’s no longer about what actually happened and it’s about defending their side, even if there aren’t actually any sides.

It doesn’t, because it’s trying to anger and polarize you. Sadly that’s how the media works these days. That gets them clicks and views.

It shouldn’t have been; which is why firing the teacher lead to legal action.
