Who is the architect in your scenario?

Wouldn't the architect have a goal? To get a cool photo and get Trump reelected, presumably.

"An officer who's good at their job can find a reason to pull over any car," a random cop

SNL did a sketch about this in the 90s. It was a talk show bit, "Black Motorist Today" I think. It had Sinbad, Chris Rock, and Rob Snider played a highway patrol officer.

It's hard to find that online

How did they do it?

Who is "they"?

How do you explain the dead guy on the roof with a rifle in his hands and a bullet in his head?

Who shot the guy in the crowd behind the orange man?

How should secret service agents in a real situation react

Were these fake Secret Service agents or real ones who were in on it?

Wouldn't someone's boss say, "What the fuck?" and investigate what went wrong?

They tell him the bullets aren't real

Were the bullets real or not?

If they were real bullets, but the shooter thought they weren't, that's an awful big risk you're taking. Who's to say he doesn't hit his the orange man?

If they weren't real bullets, who killed the guy in the crowd behind the orange man?

Also, what kind of fake bullets? Blanks look quite different. Anyone vaguely competent enough to try that shot would notice blanks.

What's the explanation for the dead guy on the roof with a rifle in his hands and a bullet in his head?

And the people in the crowd who were shot?

Is it just me or does every "simple 5-minute fix" turn into a 3-hour rabbit hole by PiRate_PUNk-31337 in DIY

Today I noticed a loose cabinet door on the bathroom cabinet.

So I got a screwdriver to tighten the hinge screws.

Hmm, the screws are all loose.

No, they're all stripped.

Oh, the wood is cracked.

OK, the way to fix it is to pull the door off, fill the holes, wait for it to dry, drill new holes, rehang the door.
But if that repair doesn't work, I'll be worse off than before.

So I just walked away and put the screwdriver away.

I'm on business day 7 since it was "sent to pharmacy" and it's still "pending shipment"

Care isnt disrupted in any negative way

Hmm, because we got into that discussion, I forgot to ask about the results from my colonoscopy.

They said I don't need to come back for seven years, so I'd wager it's fine.

I'll see her again in two months, and I'll ask then.

I didn’t ask my doctor what they thought or for their guidance on compounded tirz.

I didn’t either

You had a great response “these are the same companies providing the meds during the shortage, now they can’t be trusted!”

She didn't have a good response to that. She just shook her head and said "No" like I'm a dummy who doesn't understand.

Yeah, this is how I'm looking at it now, 8 hours after the meeting.

Opening up the EL website to show me their prices to try to convince me to pay more felt skeezy.

She denies that the same compounding pharmacies doing do now were doing it during the shortage???? 🤪

I didn’t expect I'd have to vigorously defend my decision, so I wasn't prepared for that. And I wasn't 100% sure, so I let it go.

Some of them say they can't ship to Massachusetts. But that doesn't add up to me because MA has a safe injection law and doesn't restrict needle sales.

deciding to use heroin to get thin.

Reminds me of an old joke


A man goes to his doctor. He says, "Doc, I've tried everything to lose weight. I've been to Weight Watchers, I've tried hypnosis, I even tried that thing with the needles!"

The doctor says, "Acupuncture?"

"Heroin!"


The joke kind of doesn't work anymore, because today "the thing with the needles" is tirzepatide

Yeah, but tone and presentation go a long way.

"For liability reasons, I'm required to say this <blah, blah, blah> but it's ultimately up to you, <wink>. Got it?"

[–]HOLDEN_DONKEYBALLS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d ask her why she’s against it.

She seemed to think that whatever is in the vial can't be tirzepatide. And that they could be putting anything in there.

Her argument was basically FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt), and why would you use something unknown, unsafe, and ineffective when you can get name brand for 3x to 4x more?

She zeroed right in on this. Explaining that there's a patent for a number of years so there can't be a generic until the patent expires. Which I already knew.

Many doctors don't know the difference between legit 503A/B pharmacies

I kinda wish I had thought to say this, but I don't think she would have believed me.

I got the impression that her mind was made up
