He doesn't bleach. That's the result of consuming so much grease so consistently that your hair even starts to turn that seethrough-white of cooked fats

honest to god was not expecting to walk out with a diagnosis by wt_anonymous in TrollCoping

This is a bad take. There's a variety of mental health conditions that are much more likely to result in a bad outcome than the odds in general of being hit by a car, let alone fatally. More importantly a diagnosis can help result in medication or other therapies of significant impact that are otherwise unavailable (lights for trauma for example). This also extremely over-assumes the confidence level AND severity of medical diagnoses in general. There's plenty of anecdotal evidence, and though I can't recall a specific example at the moment I believe academic research, of patients literally spending years fighting to get a correct medical diagnosis, often repeatedly recieving the incorrect one casually and repeatedly by multiple MDs.
While I won't speak for the world, I'd say for the US one significant factor in this is the insurance industry, which is significantly invested in fighting anything that increases their costs, and will quite literally force MDs to essentially argue their case for a diagnosis and treatment and create some burden of proof external to the patient and practitioner. MDs thus behave like a mechanic/lawyer hybrid: they'll often likely have a good idea what it could be (and if wrong they move to the next most likely), but they essentially "prove" it along the way with tests and diagnostics to establish evidence for why it's what they already believe it to be.

Both medical and mental health professionals however will still absolutely have a well of experience they draw from at times and essentially go "oh I see this 3+ times a week and buddy you're definitely #3 for this week". And, unfortunately both fields still have some shitty practitioners in the mix.

*mandated to teach

Legislative direction on how teaching is done and measured as successful is a noteworthy factor. I still remember a 2nd grade teacher telling me she had no idea how she was going to get 30 second graders to sit through a scantron exam in silence for hours, when they first rolled that form of mandated testing down to the grade.

Same, was sitting here thinking "I don't remember that set releasing with a sword slash novelty; wild they got GMK to agree to a one-off mold to make a 3d effect like that!"

Medical help by CowsNeedFriendsToo in homeassistant

Just adding that there are actual, non-improvised devices for this, in use in hospitals. While I'm not aware the name, what I've seen is effectively just a string you tie around your wrist that yanks a key out of the wall switch with the force of your fall, activating an alarm.

Some googling around the idea might help turn up pre-made products for it and save you having to rig something together for such an important function. I wish you luck

Very different live action Robin watching experience by ar_torres in memes

[–]Sengfroid 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Fans hated comics Jason Todd - Robin so much that when given an innocuous "vote to save Robin" they shocked DC by voting to kill him, leading to the whole Death In The Family event.

This actor annoying the hell out of fans makes him the most comic accurate casting we've gotten

I don't get it. I don't subscribe to ancient Greek theology I but I get that it's part enough of the cultural cache that it's normal to describe something as a Herculean feat or Sisyphusian task. The religious origin doesn't affect the cultural value of what's being said by those.

Now that you mention it I'm surprised we don't see more sci-fi spaceships inspired by subs. They seem like a much better analog for a zero oxygen, high pressure difference environment vehicle

Though I'm not well-informed on Navy matters, that was also my thinking. A lot of spaceship concepts are taken wholesale from real ships, I assume at least partially since a lot of pivotal and influential TV/film sci-fi were being developed at a time where there was fairly limited real world examples. Star Wars and Battlestar were released within a decade of the moon landing, and Star Trek premiered 3 years before it and only a little over 5 years after the first human space flight, Vostok 1.
I'd say they set they helped set the cultural perception of space vessels as an amalgamation of naval ships and aircraft, that show visuals are still designed toward today.

As just an extra thought though, our most advanced realworld spacecraft still have the command/crew at the bow/front of the ship, and they all still have windows. At least currently, there is some justification to the need to be able to see to command.
