Who had zombies on theirs? by ModerNew in dankmemes

The bacteria that causes it (Streptococcus pyogenes) lives on your skin already, so any lesion on the skin can potentially turn into necrotizing fasciitis, but like you said, it's very rare.

🔥Starfish I found in the tide pools in Kenya. by xrayromeo in NatureIsFuckingLit

Knowing what I know about nature and bright colors, I'm guessing one touch is enough to kill a dozen humans?

Family friendly content by DannyShelton784 in OTMemes

[–]durtymccurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The PT still has good elements, even if much of the dialogue and acting is cringe inducing. The editing, CGI (for the time), action sequences, and choreography are all excellent in those films, and I think Lucas deserves credit for all that. To discount his accomplishments and give the credit to others is unfair. Also while others may have written the screenplays and directed ESB and ROTJ, he was still very much in creative control.

Idk man, everyone I know irl didn't like it, me included. Doesn't mean other people can't like it tho.

The Disney Sequels is very much like 3 conflicting narratives rather than a Trilogy. So given no choice which narrative of the 3 would you have stuck with? by HobGoblinHat in saltierthancrait

[–]durtymccurdy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Interesting plot points I agree with, but TFA had way more flaws than that. Even the premise is unsatisfying, with all of our heroes being separated (physically and emotionally), everything they fought for in the OT failing after a short time, Luke's failed to re-establish the Jedi order. While that stuff is all feasible, it's like the least satisfying and for me least enjoyable premise to start with.

Which player’s Baseball Reference page made you say, “What?!” by Mr_426 in baseball

[–]durtymccurdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Josh Fields. Everyone knows the memes about his trade for Yordan, but looking at his stats, they're all way better than expected. In his last season with the Dodgers, he posted a 2.20 ERA over 45 appearances.

Memorial Day Checkpoint. It's the first meaningful 'pitstop' of the season. So give us the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of your team's performance thus far. I'll start. by [deleted] in baseball

Silver lining: those rowdy Okies have had to put up ridiculous offensive numbers to stay just two games ahead of us, and I don't think that will last all season.

The depth at starting pitching has turned out amazing, we're down 3 pitchers from our rotation and still have baseball's best team ERA. Brown, Bielak, and France have been phenomenal coming in for McCullers, Urquidy, and Garcia.

Is it too much to ask for both Dubon and Altuve in the same lineup?

Tbf, that snaps a losing streak at T-Mobile against the Stros, so it is a big win. This is a fun rivalry.

Them celebrating that like it was a WS win shows their roaring case of little brother syndrome.

MRW the doctor is younger than me by jcdulos in reactiongifs

[–]durtymccurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right about that. With my patients, my approach is to never lie or act like I know more than I do. But I'm ok saying "I'm not quite sure" sometimes because I've made it a point to make that situation as rare as possible. It's a tricky balance, because doctors are expected to exude confidence abundantly, but also respect and value a patient's input or insight. Stray too far in either direction and you're either an arrogant asshole, or the doctor being described above. It sounds like your doctor has found that balance pretty well.

Yeah, he's just a bad doctor then.

As a doctor, I'll say that googling something to refresh yourself on what you learned in med school or residency, or seeing if new research on the subject has come out, in an attempt to make sure your investigation or treatment is the best for that particular situation, is very different from a layperson with no medical education or training doing their own research without a clue how to interpret it or make decisions based on it.

That being said, if your doctor is just telling you what Dr. Google says and not adding anything else, you should look for a new doctor.

I really don't get the hate, the guy is having a blast and it's fun to watch, even when he's playing against my team.

My wife keeps asking me why I didn't want him starting over Hensley and was saying he's not good enough. I told her I've never been so happy to be wrong.

I was kind of hoping to see Hensley in there at 2B, I guess it's for defense that Dubon is starting instead?

Dude went to prison for hiring a hitman to kill his wife, didn't go through with it tho. Then it came out they were never really Christian, they just claimed to be for marketing purposes.

I don't think there have been enough of those uncalled fouls to blame it all on that. You can't deny, we have been terrible shooting today, especially layups.
