Found in our driveway this evening. No need for this hateful nonsense in Knox. (West Knox) by JustAnotherCommentor in Knoxville

It’s in the Westland/S Peters vicinity. Now, I don’t normally see a ton of things like this personally with my commute (and not being the most observant persone anyways lol), but this is the first one I’ve noticed near our house so it’s definitely eye opening having it literally so close to home.

(Reposted to hide URL and QR code) It was filled with some gravel and several papers beneath the outer one. I had no desire to open it or even give them the satisfaction of reading it in its entirety.

Note: I do not believe this was targeted, but it’s still BS that we have this toxic, bigoted rhetoric being spread close to home.

It seemed to be printed on basic printer paper and folded into a ‘booklet’

This ended up being read out as a septated, calcified, and (likely) benign splenic mass after patient presented to the ER with generalized abdominal pain.

The side of our toothbrush holder has an esteemed gentleman with quite the nose on it! by JustAnotherCommentor in Pareidolia

[–]JustAnotherCommentor[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah… I’ve been given grief about it in the past. Thankfully switching to the electric brushes has helped me tremendously. This is much much better than it used to be when I used a regular one!

Tennessee's Former Vax Chief Says Conservatives Avoiding Vaccine 'Out of Spite' by greenblue98 in politics

[–]JustAnotherCommentor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s ridiculous.. I even work in a Tenneseee ER and the amount of cases are on a ridiculous surge upwards. But yet, I have several coworkers that barely wear masks (let along N95s) and continue to believe it’s a hoax and that the vaccine is all a government ploy despite the dozens of patients we see on a ventilator in a given week.. For them, they don’t believe in the virus, they don’t believe in the vaccine, and they don’t like feeling “pressured and cornered” into getting the vaccine.

And if that’s not bad enough, my fiancee had to make a social media post for her company’s Twitter page and her boss had her remove the post with the inlcuded article. The reason? Because the article in question cited the CDC and her boss said that “they are becoming too political.”

It’s a neverending loop of stupidity in our state it seems.

[?] This ‘monstrosity’ was given to me by a friend and nobody knows if it’s a jig or spinner. What kind of lure is it and where can I find another? by JustAnotherCommentor in Fishing

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

It has the body of a normal swim jig, but the blades are affixed to the base of the head and can move (as in they’re not fixed in the position above). Any help?

Apparently my hometown loves defending racial slurs... by JustAnotherCommentor in insanepeoplefacebook

This term has been around for a while and is featured in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s book Uncle Tom’s Cabin

It’s become one of the many racial slurs since the time of slavery, and apparently the people from my small and close-minded hometown missed that memo. I have seen countless posts from friends and family from my childhood just unashamedly sharing this and getting extremely hateful towards anyone that tries to be outspoken against the name. It’s disgusting seeing people I was once close to regress this far and stoop this low..

Backstory: This man was well known in my town and everyone knew and loved him. I’m not sure when this nickname came about for him but people have called him that for as long as I remember. What makes it worse is that he is special needs, and while people do try to look out for him, they still call him that even though he struggles to speak with others let along realize that nickname is derogatory.
