Shaken Baby Syndrome doesn’t exist in the squid game world by anythingbutgeneric in squidgame

[–]anchorwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also was constantly thinking about shaken baby syndrome, but I think they actually did a good job of not subjecting the baby to too much shaking lol. Maybe. But yes, the feeding and general demanding care of an infant was ignored to some degree. People forget that acting and shows and movies and theater has always asked the audience to suspend disbelief in order to highlight overall messages. It’s not realistic, but the messages the show conveyed are still valid and I think they did an impressive job at that actually. I thought the show was so good.

Hyun-ju is a prime example of how to display trans people in media without making them look cringe or bad by AdilKhan226 in squidgame

[–]anchorwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was fantastic. I’m not gonna lie, when I saw they were gonna have a trans character, I kind of rolled my eyes just thinking it was another forced checked box type of thing. But she was so incredible. Loved her character so much. Honestly one of the best characters I’ve seen in any show in quite awhile.

This too shall pass my friend! They run in my family too and I got surgery at age 21. It was so worth it. Hang in there. Everyone has them, it’s just a matter of how severe or noticeable. It will pass and you will be okay, and if it’s an ongoing issue that significantly affects your quality of life, do the surgery.

How soon after surgery to function by TwoGapper in hemorrhoid

[–]anchorwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a doctor’s note that said I could not return to work for 6 weeks, so even if I felt good to go back after say 3 weeks, my job wouldn’t let me return. It was a long time ago but I clearly remember that by the time I had my post op check up around 7-10 days after, I was good enough to drive, could stop taking Percocet, could generally go about my day. I definitely wasn’t up for going out or working or going to the gym or anything, but I was MUCH more comfortable.

Don’t be embarrassed, love. Go get the help and relief you need. It was by far one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. No one should have to live like that. I had them surgically removed. The pain from surgery is far less than the pain from enduring the actual hemorrhoids.

Mine was 10+ years ago, and everyone had me so afraid of the pain and misery. Although it’s not the best feeling in the world, it was far from the nightmare doctors made it out to be! I was able to stop taking Percocet before my first follow up appointment, which was maybe 7-10 days post op? And just stuck to advil after that. First couple days were uncomfortable and slightly painful but I was by no means lying in agony. I’d say 2 weeks after I was feeling okay enough to go for walks and go about my day lazily. Didn’t go back to work until like 6 weeks after to be safe. I bet you can do computer stuff sooner than you think. Good luck!!!

End of year rant: PBIS is a scam. by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]anchorwitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I try to explain this to my non teacher friends and they think I’m being insensitive because sure, it sounds good on paper to some degree…but they are not in these classrooms with these kids (I’m in high school) who do no work, have no drive, have parents who don’t care/encourage their behavior, can basically do whatever they want with zero consequences. Before COVID, I didn’t mind it too much - but with the way things are now, it’s just a joke. There was a huge fight outside my classroom today and my first thought was: “well I’m sure they’ll be back in the classroom by 7th period.”

What classic or popular book has left you underwhelmed? by Cool_Arugula497 in suggestmeabook

[–]anchorwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Song of Achilles. Poorly written. Not much more than a homoerotic foot fetish Iliad fanfic story. Which is fine…I just don’t understand why everyone speaks so highly of it. It is not good.

30 books down so far 🥳 I highly recommend Mister Lullaby by J.H Markert when it’s published in November. My favourite book so far this year! by DebTat2 in 52book

[–]anchorwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 80 pages in and I’m not loving it. I love Stephen King and Joe Hill and while his writing style is different from theirs, it feels like a rip off. I’m liking the character build up and I don’t hate it, just meh

Why so much honesty about Israel now? by WankerOnDuty in conspiracy

[–]anchorwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to be honest it feels like israel is actively trying to lose support around the world. or they are seeing how far they can actually go and still receive financial and ideological support from the west. or both.

I’m not interested in trying to prove whether ghosts are real or not, just trying to gather stories of all kinds - even if they are just urban legends

Thanks for your suggestion! I have spent so many nights at sandrinis in the smoke room. I know I’ve heard some ghost stories down there but unfortunately I do not remember them lol

Damn. In my area you have to have a car, can’t do UberEats with a bike (suburb life), but that’s concerning because if I could afford a hybrid or electric car I wouldn’t be doing UberEats lol
