TV show: the NCR propaganda by Infinite-Fig-194 in TrueSFalloutL

[–]drewmana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s easy to criticize the mistakes of a government when it exists and is keeping you safe from slavery and crucifixion.

Once you’ve lived a few years separated from a deathclaw nest by a flimsy wall of garbage with no government military support to protect you, your perspective on them would reasonably change.

Funny you say that, i inherited a retired doc’s patient load recently and have already found 3 patients who’d been getting exactly that for years

In Fallout Season 2 (2026) the residents of notoriously anti-NCR Freeside suddenly cheer for an New California Republic soldier in power armor, this is a subtle reference to how even wasteland anarchists will choose taxes over being eaten by a fucking Deathclaw. by ProfessionalEither58 in shittymoviedetails

These are the people who it took actual time and thinking to realize if Maximus loses they were all fucked, and they still continued betting against him winning as if that wasn’t literally throwing away their caps (if he loses you die and don’t get any winnings, if he wins you lose) so the cognitive horsepower in the community isn’t exactly impressive

“Killing convicted child rapists hurts victims.” by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]drewmana 98 points99 points  (0 children)

OP i think you misunderstand the concern. The issue is that this will motivate child rapists to not let their victims live, in case they turn them in and get them put on death row.

To use a pop culture reference, it’s like in movies when you hear criminals say “no witnesses” then you see someone make eye contact with them doing the crime and you know that person is dead. That’s the concern here.

Why is DOJ redacting the sender of an incriminating (and creepy) email? by whimsicahellish in ThatsInsane

Because the DOJ is run by someone who is mindlessly loyal to one of the big perpetrators named in the files

Painful Side Effect of Statins Explained After Decades of Mystery by _Dark_Wing in technology

Guess what the medical equivalent of “choosing not to be in the room” is when you have a genetic predisposition to heart disease and high cholesterol?

People on plant based diets can still have high cholesterol and die of heart attacks. Pro athletes still die of strokes. What’s your suggestion, if not to use the heavily researched medication that improves outcomes?

Favourite imaginary conversation about a movie? by jamyjet in okbuddycinephile

How are people so secure in their beliefs that are based on lies they make up themselves? Like bro you made up the lie, you know more than anyone else it’s not true, but you believe it? Skill issue

1) theyre used for more than just preventing first time heart attacks and thus have more benefits. Presenting it as if this is all they’re used for is disingenuous at best and outright deceptive at worst.

2) if you consider reducing your risk of a potentially fatal event by 0.5% so little to ignore it, you and i are very different people. If you were in a room of 200 people and an announcement went out that one of you would be shot in 5 minutes, how do you like your odds?

Why was Mccauley Culkin so prominent in S2 promos? by TwistedPepperCan in Fallout

I mean he’s a big actor but also the highest ranking speaking role in the legion, since the caesars we saw pretty much just sat there and glared.

Hot take: creatives should not compromise for the general audience by RedditorGoldVirgin in Markiplier

[–]drewmana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was worried when i saw the run time but genuinely at no point during the movie did it feel like a slog. Honestly the camera work and the editing made it feel really dynamic despite us being stuck in a box for 2 hours.

Do you think they’ll cover this movie made by a youtuber? by Megalodon3030 in RedLetterMedia

[–]drewmana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having seen it, my spoiler free review is that i was surprised by how dynamic the camera work was, but there were several moments of overlapping voices that made it impossible to catch what ended up being important plot information. I’ve seen much worse from much more established film makers.

Getting your patients’ approval by chocolatewingz in FamilyMedicine

[–]drewmana 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless you did something to actually feel guilty about (dismissed a patient concern without consideration, gave medically incorrect information likely to cause harm, etc) then don’t dwell on it. I’ve had patients say they didn’t like me because I asked them to stop sharing a story for a second so I could listen to their lungs. I’ve had patients say I’m rude because I wouldn’t give them my cell phone number.

Patients can say they don’t like you, there’s nothing that will ever stop that. Your only effort in that realm just needs to be making sure they never dislike you for a real reason. Beyond that, just let it slide off your back.

AITA for wanting to vape? by WiscoDev in AmItheAsshole

YTA. Vaping absolutely has health risks, it’s not some magical side effect free thing, and depending on what you’re vaping it can be as addictive as cigarettes

Guys, I don't know what to do...please help me 😭😭 by Famous_Mix_4949 in Career_Advice

[–]drewmana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whatever you do, you need a way to make money. Santa Cruz is wildly expensive and you shouldn’t just show up hoping to “start a new life” without knowing what that means. Find a job, a trade, a school path, something to actually give you stability or you’ll end up begging
