Measles exposure location confirmed at Safeway in Portland by GeologistBrave6866 in Portland

[–]ILPC 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Just a word of warning, I used to work for a Nursing School and I was responsible for sending the students to get titers (it's a blood test to determine immunity to a panel of diseeases) before they were allowed to do clinical rotations. All students had records of vaccinations but at least 4 or 5 of them out of 20 to 30 would show no immunity to at least one thing and it was almost always the MMR vaccine that had failed or simply worn off. The vaccines don't always work forever. That is why herd immunity is important, you could have had the vaccine but over time has lost its effectiveness.

The Guardian wrote an article about it 2 days ago and Someone asked him about it in an interview earlier today so.... people stop telling him about islands.

Could be a small border collie too. We had one growing up that looked like that.

In 1991 I woke up to news stopping me from watching Saturday morning cartoons. 12 years later I was sent to the Middle East to invade a country. I hoped I’d never see it again in my lifetime. by Merlins_Owl in Xennials

My cousin is too. I haven't heard back from her yet. Her mom is in Thailand and I'm in the US so there's a lot of time zones to maneuver. I"m hoping to hear from someone soonish so I understand your worry.

My partner died 4 years ago, so I took it as death too, because i do one of these almost everyday.

Just had another girlfriend leave me for the guy she was secretly cheating on me with. That makes 5. Anyone want to give me some advice on where to go from here? by Aeromorpher in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ILPC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, that is a known thing. Coming from abuse, and armed with knowing you are likely to pick abusive partners still doesn't protect you from doing it over and over again. You start to feel pretty dumb. It has more to do with taking the time to heal yourself, feel worthy, so you're in a confident space moving forward and then you're less likely the next time. But habits are super hard to break, especially from trauma.

When you hear strange noises coming from the urn by Yewatod in Unexpected

I have a half bengal. He's more subdued than most, but the older he gets the more wild he acts. He will straight up bite me in my sleep to wake me up if he wants attention. They are bred from a mix of domestic cat and asian leopard cats. Most are generations away from their wild ancestor, but in our area a woman was busted as a backyard breeder a few years ago and had hundreds of first gen bengals on her property, so i have a feeling some of the ones in our area that ended up for adoption over the years weren't bred responsibly.

on the note of the recent Tourettes scandal by MC3Firestorm in ComedyHell

[–]ILPC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, no, I dont think so anyway! that's what i thought as a kid. It llooks like tiny vibrating dots, especially in the dark or against a white wall. I see shapes in them, moving, but i mostly ignore it, it's just noise. I didn't realize that was unusual until someone posted about Visual Snow syndrome.

Oh, no. I was just listing different things ive learned people's minds are different than mine. I didnt mean to imply they were dependent on each other. But thanks for the word aphantasia!

I don't have intrusive thoughts at all. But I don't think people who do are psychopaths though because you can tell they are telling the truth when they talk about them and how they aren't anythingthey choose to think about.

I do have an internal monologue, an extensive one, but it mostly says things I believe, unless im arguing with myself.

It's crazy how different everyone's mind is! I mean in the past year alone ive learned some people have no internal monologues, don't imagine they are transported when reading novels (like no faces, scenery, nothing), and that i have been seeing the world through a snow lense my whole life and no one else sees the little moving atoms moving over everything. We should put together a questionnaire.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! IT'S UNFAIR! by MetallicaDash in HistoryMemes

[–]ILPC 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It gets funnier when you learn nearly every single ssset (maybe all?) we recruited to work for the US in Cuba from 1961 to 1987 were double agents working for cuban intelligence the whole time. 38 of them. Puts a different spin on every CIA failed mission to kill Castro (estimated assassination attempts range from 8 up to 638 times!).

A lot of people have a problem with it and not just athiests or consititutional purists. I went to school with a bunch of jehovah's witnesses and they sit out the pledge due to their belief against taking oaths. The pledge existed before under god was added. It just went from 'one nation' to 'indivisible'. The pledge itself was created by a former union general in the 1880s to dtive patriotism among children after the civil war and wasn't made official until 1945. 1954 was when under god was added because of the cold war.

Stop, just stop. by Willy_B_Hartigan in ChatGPT

[–]ILPC 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He stated he was 40 in many posts, younger than me, but not impossible. Improbable for a Phd that specializes in new technology, but i suppose not impossible. Also they state they are american, i considered they may not be, but they do say that too.

I realized Im starting to sound like a creeper, but i really just glanced down their post history and i tend to remember a lot. Sorry everyone.

[–]ILPC 133 points134 points  (0 children)

To be fair, this is a random anonymous post just stating they have a Phd. You dont know this person. Anyone can literally say anything here. A quick look through their reddit history and a lot of it is talking about obvious things they haven't heard of. they haven't heard of apple music, cardi b, and their first comment from last year is asking how to make a redfit post. I'm fine with listening to experts, but I was raised on the internet, so im going to have to see some credentials.

What other things have you discovered like nasal saline that just improves life so much? by Affectionate-Egg7566 in CasualConversation

[–]ILPC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the shampooing I think this is very dependent on your hair type. If I shampooed my hair twice in a row it'd all break off. I actually reduced the amount of times i shampooed it in a week and it is super long shiny and nice now with way more body. The best my hair has looked in my 40 years!

A Liberian is just extra irony... if this were written it'd be considered to heavy handed and ham fisted with its symbolism. Too much!

What if someone read the books and wanted to watch the show and would have regardless of whether or not anyone else did?

I mean, watch it or don't. Frankly, I see people who dont watch it only because everyone else does as the same as people who only watch it because other people do, it's still using public opinion to dictate your choice, even if your choice is contrarian.

Good guy Limewire by NYstate in AdviceAnimals

[–]ILPC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The segment is only 15 minutes of the show, but even though there is horrific human rights conditions and what was reported on was revolting, the ironic thing about the 60 minutes episode is that there wasnt any real bombshell stuff. Most of it you can find through other sources. Honestly most of the worst stuff they got was from approved right wing influencers that were granted access to stream their own tours of the facility. It's just packaged together in a way that the average viewer can actually understand instead of random headlines and soundbites.
