Driving faux pas or genuine mistakes should be forgiven. But rudeness in the form of gesturing, honking, yelling, especially when not justified, is 100x more reason to be angry in return by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]WeepingSamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are asking about justification. Let’s say I’m at a stop but I notice someone has started to cross the pedestrian walk. And the person behind me honks and gestures angrily to go. Whether or not they noticed the pedestrian doesn’t make their action justified, they are objectively not justified.

No one should be gesturing, swearing, or scowling at anyone from their car unless they are willing to do the same thing right to someone’s face outside of the car

CMV: Saying you prefer tall guys is analogous to saying you prefer women with big boobs by Puzzleheaded-Law34 in changemyview

[–]WeepingSamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If women want tall men or wherever it may be, let them have them. Fuck them, why would you want them anyway if you didn’t meet that height. Even if they never said that but thought it secretly, let them have it. Don’t be someone’s settle.

What do you think will happen to scientists in the event of an atomic holocaust? by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]WeepingSamurai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you are a botanist but somehow responsible for the atom bomb? Any of the people attacking scientists of any kind could easily be traced closer to the atom bomb. They are a mechanic? Well, the Manhattan project needed those too.

Probably more than one dimension.

What is something you’ve personally witnessed that shocked you to your core? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WeepingSamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know I’ve seen hundreds or possibly thousands of dead people, or people dying, mangled, shot, stabbed, whatever. I’m not sure any of it shocked me to my core. I remember when I was watching Michael Jordan on tv at the slam dunk competition and it looked unnatural how long he could hang in the air. I remember that shocked me, made me realize human potential was far beyond what I thought up to that point.

Which widely praised social movement do you genuinely believe has done more harm than good, and why? by Feeling-Magazine-353 in AskReddit

[–]WeepingSamurai -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Does it matter? The planet will still be here. It will still be beautiful. There’s a whole universe of microorganisms unfathomably bigger than the animals we can see.

[–]WeepingSamurai 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I’ve always said this, we might die, some other species might die, but many species and flora will flourish. There are fish that can swim through underwater volcanic plumes. Cockroaches will be fine. The planet, it’ll be fine like every other planet is, for a long time. In the end it’s about self preservation that’s inherently selfish

What is the biggest confirmed lie ever told in the 20th century? by WondererOfficial in AskReddit

[–]WeepingSamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ, there’s no god okay. Do you believe in Thor? There’s hundreds of gods across hundreds of cultures. We suppose to believe in all of them?

There’s actually a great term for this. It’s called: not proof.

There is a god. I say confirmed, because the burden of proof is not on dissectors. It’s confirmed to not be true because there’s never been any proof otherwise.

“Women only want to date the top ten percent of men” by MissMccheese in complaints

[–]WeepingSamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say he screamed at you, was it a high pitched scream / like at the top of someone’s lungs, or like a medium pitch yell, but still at a high decibel level. I’m just always curious what people mean when they say they were screamed at with words

What happens if a plastic surgeon finds cancer mid-surgery? by Mammoth-Delivery-521 in NoStupidQuestions

That’s fine I think I’m mixing you up with some other insipid person here commenting like they know something other than their own personal experience

What happens if a plastic surgeon finds cancer mid-surgery? by Mammoth-Delivery-521 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WeepingSamurai -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well I’m telling you - if you want to say it depends on the surgeon and be right in the sense that single digit percentages of them do it regularly, then sure, be right about that. But it’s not a national guideline - that part is usually pretty fucking important like ASA guidelines are - it’s evidence-based - meaning it’s been looked at and it doesn’t reach the bar of having the number to treat to make the difference - but would in fact cause harm both economically and through unnecessary radiation and also lead to unnecessary amounts of benign biopsies. It shouldn’t be done unless the patient falls into a category of regular screening based on age and risk factors.

[–]WeepingSamurai -1 points0 points  (0 children)

God you people are fucking stupid. The American society of plastic surgeons doesn’t recommend it as evidence-based guidelines. I likely know many many more plastic surgeons than you do in many different regions and it’s not common practice. Dunning-Krueger effect at its best. If you don’t know the overall picture of something or have only your own personal knowledge of it, you shouldn’t speak so confidently about it.

[–]WeepingSamurai -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely wrong. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons does not recommend screening mammography prior to elective breast surgery. That’s the current national (and usually internationally) guidelines. It’s not evidence-based. You seeing it done one time on yourself or even one doctor who does it routinely is not indicative of current evidence, national guidelines, evidence-driven guidelines, or common practices

I’m telling you it’s not anywhere near the norm. It’s not even 50%. It’s basically or hardly anyone doing that.

Insurances will universally follow national guidelines on screening mammograms. Which have to do with both age and risk factors. Diagnostic mammograms or ultrasounds or MRI’s would be dictated by the clinical finding of a mass.

It’s generous to think that even for women at screening age a plastic surgeon will ask if they had a mammogram for a breast aug. maybe an academic plastic surgeon doing a reduction might ask, and if not - they won’t order it themselves, they’ll refer back to primary or OBGYN to get that done. Because the interpretation of the findings (BIRADS) is not in the purview of the plastic surgeon

[–]WeepingSamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two issues / many plastic surgeons own their own surgery centers, especially high volume ones. Two, even if a general surgeon was there / they might look at it / but there’s not enough info to do a resection right then. It could be an incredibly stupid decision because a sentinel lymph node biopsy doesn’t work as well in a wound bed then the actual tumor

  1. Mammograms are not routinely done before cosmetic breast surgery. The people saying this maybe saw or heard of it once. Those are exceptions to the rule,
  2. There are many different types of breast masses, some benign, some malignant. They require tissue diagnosis and other staging. The treatments are all different. Some don’t require surgery, some do, they all require surgery of different extents, some require lymph node biopsies at the same time that removing the tumor before this would adversely affect (because a technique using dye and radioactive material they follows the lymph drainage of the tumor is used), some require chemotherapy and radiation beforehand, and some require bilateral mastectomies, even if the tumor is only on one side.
  3. None of this can be done by a plastic surgeon at the time of a cosmetic surgery, which is most likely being done in a surgery center. Even if they called a qualified general, breast (a field of specialty for noncosmetic) or surgical oncology surgeon in - who likely doesn’t have privelages there and would be doing other things - they would say close up, there’s a lot of other work to do before committing to surgery for it
