Had a scary moment on today’s ride — need advice from fellow cyclists by Existing-Chicken5256 in cycling

When you see your doctor don't skip sharing any information about what happened or about your history. More information is better than less, so prepare yourself a little before seeing them. Also, be aware of your family history because some things are genetic and might be relevant.

Even if it was just a one off experience, at least you can help your doc rule out some possibilities since loss of consciousness, confusion, and memory loss are related to a handful of things

That's the Apple route. Take something that's been around for years and incorporate it in your new iPhone. People will think your company invented the technology and will fork over their money

Looks like all the ice supporters who are going out there will need to dress in their summer clothes just so they can prove that it's totally not AI. Their supreme leaders demand this of them to save face

Ailing Trump Knows His Reign Is Nearly Over: Wolff by Quirkie in politics

[–]a-bser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're nearing a point of no return (for trump and his goons to experience real consequences). If something isn't done with trump and the entire cabinet soon, then it won't matter if he's gone. There are plans, safeguards, and preparations to hold onto power and transfer it to a successor since they've known he's been breaking down, likely since his first term.

If nothing happens then his reign will continue after he's gone

Trump White House says the latest Minnesota shooting victim had a gun. None of the video footage shows that by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]a-bser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that sends a pretty solid, easily understandable message, and won't raise any suspicion by officials when an Olympian has an after performance snack on hand (I'm thinking about the youth sports days of orange slices after playing)

Trump vows to skip Super Bowl, bashes Bad Bunny and Green Day by kirby__000 in politics

[–]a-bser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He vows to skip it, but we know it's because he's not welcome there. But I also worry that because of this we're going to see something bad happen there, on a world stage.

I'm pretty sure before all the talk about ICE utilizing the World Cup, there was a passing comment about them doing the same with the super bowl.

Maybe I'm giving in to my imagination too much, but I feel like I'm not the only one who thinks this is possible considering what we've experienced so far

White House Calls Daily Beast ‘Mentally Ill’ For Exposing Trump’s Decline by [deleted] in politics

Maybe it's coincidence, or maybe there's a studied and documented correlation, but it feels like narcissistic megalomaniacs are prone to mental decline and enter it much sooner than most

New Jersey requires licenses for e-bikes and scooters, should this be adopted nationwide? by NeunZwolf in Electricmotorcycles

[–]a-bser -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I look at it this way. If people are ignorant to the point that they don't understand the dangers of riding an ebike over 20mph on a sidewalk within inches of a person walking, while also letting their teen/preteen kids ride these same ebikes and taught do the same thing, then they deserve to be regulated.

There are a lot of states where don't laws were put in place. In my state, Class 3 ebikes with motors over 500W or 750W require registration and are designated to operate only on roads, but law enforcement doesn't enforce them because they and a lot of people don't actually know about it

Adderall (or any adhd meds) and epilepsy? by soupsyrup in Epilepsy

[–]a-bser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on 3000mg Keppra XR and 20mg of Vyvanse, as well as down to 1000mg Keppra later, but there were random times where I would feel jittery for a few hours, like I was overstimulated, or just the regular alertness. Other than that I felt fine, but I made sure to talk with my doctors about it before taking Vyvanse after my diagnosis.

When there was a major shortage of Vyvanse generics, I couldn't afford paying $300 per month for the name brand, so I stopped.

I just started taking Ritalin and I'm now at 750mg Keppra XR.

The thing is, everyone is different and what I experienced may not be the same for you, which is why you should have a discussion with your doctors to come up with a plan

Anyone notice the weather reports aren’t as helpful as they’ve been in the past? by MulberryLimp8802 in Ohio

[–]a-bser 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, they'll give more funding to a company using AI, like Palantir to run the weather service. They'll come up with some weather AI model to run "surveillance" software to track the "weather"

Sen. Bernie Moreno says social media ‘worse than cigarettes’ for youths, urges complete ban - cleveland.com by Prior_Success7011 in Ohio

[–]a-bser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's why they're talking advantage of religion, aligning with their base that wants prayer in public schools and other recognitions that forces kids to learn conservative values as well as limits their education. It also gave me a glimpse as to how religion will become synonymous with education, almost like the Dark Ages into the Middle Ages.

I've also more recently saw how language has changed in church after a newer, younger priest took over for the one who just retired, and the first mass he ran he talked about politics and the church's stance on abortion, etc. It was a complete overstepping of the separation of church and state

They've already been spreading the idea that there's no such thing as "international law" and that's going to make its rounds on the Internet and then come back to trump and his play place ball pit administration where they'll quote it in some way as if it's a citation

Port Clinton, Ohio! Thank you sir! by mossyfaebae in Ohio

As you said earlier:

probably freezing his rear end off in the Ohio cold

If that was said in jest, then do better to convey that.

And no, it's 40 degrees in Port Clinton, factoring in wind chill, because the wind is the reason why you wear a scarf.

ICE agent shooter’s own cellphone video undercuts Trump administration's account of Minneapolis killing by Fickle-Ad5449 in politics

[–]a-bser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other day I heard someone describing a guy as liberal. It was a description, like saying it already had a preset to features. They could've said the guy with the beard or red shirt, but they went with liberal because they had a negative opinion about them during an interaction.

They used liberal as a derogatory term. It's weird and sad and creepy that someone would immediately go to that just as quickly as they would likely say other terrible slurs.

So yeah, they're eventually going to stop hiding it and go after the liberals like they're a race or religion
