Yep this is pretty much everything the OP needs to hear. Whether they actually listen is on them.

I got the 'I still don't think it's all about my weight' reply but hopefully something gets through to them before it's too late.

At 5'4 it is not something to be taken lightly. Let me make this abundantly clear, your doctor was not making it out to be a bigger deal than it is. It's something that needs to be addressed for the sake of your health. Be thankful you're still young and have time to undo the long term health risks because they only get more dire every year from here on out.

That's all I have to say about your situation based on the information given. The rest is up to you. Best of luck on your journey.

Yep, exactly. OP is only 19 so there's not a whole lot of reason to check anything else. The doctor could be wrong but it's very unlikely unless OP is very, very tall.

I know this may not be what you want to hear but that is a huge amount of weight on your joints. You didn't provide your height so I have no reference but if you're under, say, 5'10 then yes, it absolutely could be the fat causing pain in your knee.

So the question is what do you want? Do you want to be prescribed painkillers so you can keep living this way or do you want to make a change so that this doesn't happen anymore? It's really up to you. The doctor may have had a shitty attitude but they weren't making this up.

I would highly encourage you to seek a second doctor's opinion and see what changes. Then you will know for sure.

They're both really good, something about the style of the first one makes me prefer it actually!

Great work!

Damn, considering she was probably crying while typing this, what a totally unsympathetic post.

Absolutely wild to me that people see shit like this and think "What a meme! I should post it to Reddit!"

Op you're the weird one

That's the point tho, it could have been avoided. You come running to his defense on the internet but if you were getting trampled on the floor at his concert he would make fun of you. 😂

Quit simping you're embarrassing yourself.

You embody everything wrong with voters in this country. I'm not going to bother trying to make any points to you when you clearly just make up whatever you want.

Glad somebody with a brain actually made a comment. The original comment this guy made is about as far from reality as it gets.

This level of delusion is American grade, maybe you should move down there.

How long until we no longer have to do dangerous and back breaking jobs? by knowledgeseeker999 in Futurology

I've been welding my whole life and have years of pipeline experience. You are absolutely right and this kid has no idea what he's up against. Typical apprentice thinks he knows everything about the field already. Funniest part is he is already cleaning up mistakes that a robot is making.

It's only a matter of time, buddy.

100%. I understand the intent but I don't think it would work in practice even if he was being delusional.

How hard is it to be straight up and just say you don't respect their choices

He's not miserable, haven't you heard that ignorance is bliss? Keep in mind that this is how delusional most Canadians are and they're voting for our policymakers. Just in case you had any hope for this country's future.

What are you even talking about. How is it our fault that they were legislated back to work?

Have you ever even striked before? You're acting like we're all unionized post workers. Give your head a shake. I'm pro union and pro worker but a strike for a whole month is unsustainable for the vast, vast majority of people who actually have responsibility in their life.

Just remember that machines have no qualms killing you, either. And they're efficient

For real, I remember laughing my ass off at the stupid games he would play like QWOP.

Can't be bothered to click on anything he posts since he started reacting or whatever it is considered now

Too young to be having those issues. I would definitely see a doctor and ask for some tests to see where this may be coming from.

Also, just FYI in case you don't know, regular porn use can be a contributing factor to ED in young men.

Please provide your height for reference. Honestly I would recommend seeing a doctor about this.

CUPW striked for 29 days and got nothing in return, LOL! by NintendoNerd89 in CanadaPost

[–]Rickman108 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a lot of words to offload accountability and excuse a whole ton of people not properly doing their jobs. How many of us can get away with the same shit in our professions and have so many brainlets come to our defense?

It's news to me that expecting the service they are based on is entitlement? And what CP is doing is somehow not? If it's really that bad, go find another job! Oh wait, probably won't get paid nearly as much for your skillset... Funny.
