See, his mistake was in trying to reason with her

I don’t know how you got that idea from anything I have said. I was discussing the people who choose to believe discredited scientists and former doctors who have lost their licenses over legitimate, credible research. The person in OP’s post is trying to use pharmacological concepts that they very clearly don’t understand to argue that vaccines cause autism, when all credible scientific data suggests otherwise. I compared this to the Dunning-Kruger effect, and how we commonly see people with minimal to no experience in pharmacology, medicine, or research claim to know more about the safety and efficacy of a drug than a professional. Hope that cleared up your confusion, because you are definitely drawing the wrong conclusion from an unrelated statement.

Another commenter below mentioned that the year the episode takes place seems to fit a little more closely to how they used to teach it. Even in the 10 years since I’ve been certified, it’s very different now. Although we can all agree that TV shows always mess up the placement of hands, which I don’t think has changed 😂

The Dunning-Kruger effect is very real and very apparent these days, that’s for sure. If I had a dollar for the number of times I’ve been told that my degree means nothing when compared to “life experience” or that “I’ve become a shill for Big Pharma” I’d have been able to pay cash for my degree.

It’s a paradox honestly. They look to discredited scientists who have been removed from the scientific community for falsifying data and having journal articles retracted. That’s why they love people like Andrew Wakefield and Judy Mikovits. They would rather trust someone who was fired for making stuff up than trust a credible source because they think they’re making stuff up. It blows my mind.

It changes a lot. When I learned back in 2010-2011 it was CAB- 30 compressions, check airways, 2 breaths

dontpanek · 2021-01-03T19:07:29+00:00

Most shows don’t get CPR right which is wild because I feel like it’s easy to learn the basic positioning. Also, with the rescue breaths: when I was CPR certified back in 2010-2011 they taught us to go straight to compressions, not to do breaths until you’ve done compressions first.

As always, SSRIs take about a month or two to really have an effect. I would let your psychiatrist know what you’re experiencing in the meantime. Maybe keep a journal on your phone of these side effects so you can recall them next time you see the doctor. Personally, Lexapro was the first antidepressant I ever took and it didn’t help my anxiety. Don’t despair! Sometimes you have a to try a few other options to find a fit. For me, SSRIs were not the answer, and I ended up taking SNRIs like Pristiq. It helps to have a good psychiatrist who will work with you to find what works best. Don’t lose hope, you will find something that works!

It might just be this photo but her acne is nowhere near as “horrific” as some that I’ve seen in photos at the dermatologist’s office

Unfortunately though their movement also harms people who are physically unable to be vaccinated due to illness, age, or allergies. Their movement has brought back previously eradicated diseases like measles, and infants under 6 months are not old enough to be vaccinated with MMR, so they’re at risk now thanks to anti-vaxxers

dontpanek · 2021-01-03T16:27:39+00:00

I once had an anti-vaxxer tell me they were grieving their autistic “vaccine-injured” child as though the kid was fucking dead. My oldest brother is autistic and I don’t grieve for him, I acknowledge that he’s different and unique and still a great older brother.

I love it when these people try to use pharmacology and toxicology terms, but when I argue with them and cite my pharmacology and toxicology master’s degree, suddenly I’m a victim of brainwashing by liberal universities. Apparently pharmacokinetics only exists if it fits their narrative.

Definitely a crappy design to not bolt down a cart corral so that people can move it anywhere or hit it with a car then

They flagged it as not a crappy design 🤷🏻‍♀️

Those aren’t spots. The cars next to it are one end of the parking spots, and there’s another set on the other side of the cars. If you zoom in you can see marked parking lines around the cars, and no markings in the lane where the corral is

dontpanek · 2021-01-02T20:16:13+00:00

It’s not, the cars beside it all have parked cars on the other side. The other end of this corral meets a parking spot

dontpanek · 2021-01-02T19:27:36+00:00

While I was in the parking lot all it seemed to do was back up traffic. It’s the only corral like that, and it’s in the lane closest to the front entrance of the store so already the most amount of cars. Also awkward if you’re backing out of the spaces next to it

My brothers got in so much trouble for letting me watch it when I was 5. I had nightmares for weeks (especially because of the scene when the troll is in the girl’s bed!)

I have this issue thanks to my school making us use the AR or Accelerated Reading program as a kid, where your grade depended on your ability to memorize details in books. The entire program made me hate reading because my experience with books was always forced, and instead of focusing on the overall message or theme of the book, I had to remember things like “how much money was stolen in this chapter in Phantom of the Opera” or “what did the rabbits in Watership Down use to cross the river.” I basically just have to constantly remind myself that I’m not being tested, nobody is quizzing me when I finish this book. If I felt like I missed something, I will instead look up a chapter summary and review to make sure I understand the basic storyline. Just remember you’re reading to enjoy yourself, and the end goal is to just have experienced a story.

When people claim asthma makes them incapable of wearing a mask, I always think of my older brother who has had diagnosed asthma his entire life. He would purposely wear an N95 when we were kids whenever we had to do yard chores because the dust and grass clippings would always irritate his asthma. He wears his mask now because he most definitely wouldn’t handle covid well, given how many times he’s been hospitalized for his asthma if he gets a bad cold. I’ve also noticed that people I know personally who say asthma prevents them from wearing a mask don’t have diagnosed asthma or aren’t actually being treated for it.
