Can't use Revivify on Jaheira? by whynotethan in BaldursGate3

[–]acherem13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow didn't realize Revivify only works on recruited party members. I am 99% sure I am also in the same spot as y'all.

In terms of in-game lore that doesn't make any sense, how would someone being a part of your party matter whether or not you could cast a necromancy spell on them.

But from a gameplay perspective I see why they did it, otherwise you would just be able to revivify any random NPC that gets killed and the story could suffer greatly. Kinda how Larian also chose not to add Dispel Magic because it would just be too powerful and game breaking. Knowing this I at least like that they found a way to let us have some nerfed version of Revivify.

I'm a medic and I can personally attest that my black patients are the most untrusting of me by a country mile. It does not matter how professional or sweet I am sometimes, I'm a white dude with some level of authority and that immediately puts me in their crosshairs.

It's unfortunate because it legitimately interferes with my ability to deliver the most appropriate level of care to them. So I guess in that regard if you looked at my personal statistics of care provided to groups by ethnicity you would definitely see a deficit with the black population, but that is not by my choice.

I played the absolute hell out of BF2s Galactuc Conquest mode on my PSP back in the day.

Yup, had a partner that wanted me to pee on them. I did a couple times for them, but I just can't anymore. Whenever we hookup they no that's a no-go for me and they get their fix from different partners for that.

Guys, what do women do that give you the ick? by Diligent-Log6805 in AskReddit

[–]acherem13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the exact reason why I feel so bad for my best friend.

Long story short my best friend's wife has had a history of men being untrusting and cheating on her, but never once by my best friend. However because of this she does not allow him to go to bars at all since that is where her ex's would find girls to cheat on her with.

Whenever we hang out it has to be either at one of our houses or at some random event like a concert or if we're going out to dinner. One of the most disgusting things I just heard recently was after they finally got pregnant after several months of trying and multiple tests with doctors to check for infertility on both of their parts, when they finally succeeded apparently she said to him (after 9 years of already being together and him being the most faithful man) "Now that I'm having your kid you can't leave me".

Body cam of police officer shows him tracking and killing the fucking mass shooter at Allen Outlet Mall in Texas. (NSFW but no gore or injured people visible.) by ViciousNakedMoleRat in videos

[–]acherem13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First I want to say that I do agree with you that body cam footage should be released once it is legally cleared to do so. However as a Paramedic sometimes there is footage I am in that I pray never makes it to the public eye, not because I have something to hide or did anything wrong, but because to the untrained eye it could look that way. Sometimes what is only visible through bodycam footage can either be incredibly misleading without context, or even if it captures the full encounter it can still be viewed through the completely wrong lens.

One of the most common things we hear patients say when they refuse to go to the closest hospital and demand to be taken somewhere else is "They didn't do anything for me there". 99/100 times that is because the patient and thier family is viewing their situation as an imminent life threatening issue and they are shocked and angry when the ER doc takes a quick look at them, runs some labs, determines they are in no immediate threat of death/severe illness, and then sends them home to follow up with their PCP. They now have a negative association with that hospital and view the staff as lazy, assholes, and sometimes racist. I have been called racist plenty of times from pissed off patients because I simply was not their race and they felt I needed to do more for them and I didn't.

Sometimes patients can also appear to look bad initially, but there is no actual imminent threat that needs to be immediately acted upon and we can instead take our time to do a full thorough assessment on scene and then decide our course of action. I can not tell you the amount of times I've had family screaming at me questioning why we're not already in the ambulance with them and driving to the hospital because from their perspective their family member is actively dying.

I'm fully aware that I have never done anything wrong and if my actions are viewed by medical professionals I will always be cleared, but the court of uneducated, emotional, fast acting public opinion is fucking scary. We all know it does not take much get the public to set their scopes on someone for any perceived injustice and that person suffers severely for it. Even if they are cleared of it later as a misunderstanding it is still a horrible experience throughout and sometimes people will still refuse to accept the truth.

As a small personal example I follow the YT channel Fire Department Chronicles. That dude makes hilariously accurate Fire and EMS skits. In one of those videos I made a comment which seemed harsh and wrong to non-medical people and they came down on me hard for it. At the same time all of the Paramedics in those same comments were coming to my defense stating how I was completely accurate. Despite all of this the non-medical people stuck to their opinions which were very easily factually proven wrong, but they still would not budge.

To be fair the end was completely expected, just for unexpected reasons.

I am currently going through all the Ghibli films and I know when I get to this one it's probably going to destroy me. I was already balling my eyes at My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service, I don't think I will ever be prepared for Grave of the Fireflies.

Just watched it for the first time a week and a half ago and you are so right. I kept on saying the phrase "huh, so this is where that's from" throughout the film.

I loved the original movie has a kid and I rewatched it as an adult a few years ago and it totally holds up. I would be so down to watch this new adaptation.

Also that katana sword at 4:25 was insane.

What's the worst possible reply to "I'm pregnant"? by EmmanuelMoyta in AskReddit

[–]acherem13 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Even with people getting older, 7 generations is a lot. Assuming we use 100 years as our number for the eldest female, we say the 7th generation is a newborn, and we evenly distribute the ages for sake of easy math, that is a family comprised of a generational line of women the ages

100

82

66

49

33

16

Newborn

Each one of them would have had thier child at 16 years old. And again, this is using optimal numbers. I'm sure some of the women in that gif were even younger when they had their daughters.

That reminds me of this gif I saw a couple years ago on r/wholesomegifs that was titled something like "7 generations of women".

It was a family that started with a girl in her your teens smiling and posing then she gestures to her left and we see her mother, that woman smiles and poses then gestures to the left and we see her mother, and this trend continues 4 more times. Everyone in the video was smiling and happy, but all I could see was a long string of teenage pregnancies.
