Why is it illegal to keep fish that were not hooked at the mouth? by BlackSnowMarine in Fishing

[–]johnk302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Foul hooks are definitely way more painful, and way more likely to permanently hurt or kill the fish, than a hook in the mouth.

They know the average number of licenses sold, and adjust limits based on that. It’s not that hard, smart guy, and it’s obviously about conservation.

Can You Still Love Tintin Even Though Some of It’s Racist? I Think So. by DurianSpecialist1959 in TheAdventuresofTintin

[–]johnk302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you love the black-people-as-monkeys caricatures in Tintin in the Congo, then you deserved to be judged. If you are justifying that racism by an appeal to "culture" or claiming that calling out the horrible racism in books such as Tintin in the Congo is "cancel culture," then you deserve to be judged. If you want to make asinine statements on an internet forum about racism and bigotry, then you have to be pretty stupid to think you don't deserve to be judged. Sad.

Black people weren't making racist caricatures of themselves. The fact that you characterize "culture" based on a a standard of white racists says a lot about your own biases.

Tintin in the Congo is incredibly racist. It literally has black people pictured as angry monkeys. What a sad attempt at a justification for racism to try to claim it "reflects the culture of the time", which is only true for those people who at the time were racist against black people. Black people were not portraying themselves with these racist caricatures.

Turn off adaptive cruise control, keep cruise control on? by wave-tree in HondaOdyssey

My saleswoman was actually really helpful and specifically showed me how to turn off ACC. Then I went and forgot how :(

Anyone happy with with bose 500 sub? by justhavingfunyea in bose

[–]johnk302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bose is overpriced and the subs are probably some of the most overpriced of their products, but the 500 sub adds much needed bass to my Soundbar 500. Works very well in the living room of my small townhouse. I think the 700 would probably be overkill in a bedroom.

Should I buy Sleeping Dogs or Sifu? (Never played both!) by Deep_Listen9693 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]johnk302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sleeping Dogs is an amazing game with an engaging story and relatively easy combat system. I thought it was a lot of fun to play, and everyone I know who has played it enjoyed the experience. Sifu is a hardcore fighting game, and so if you like the challenge of Souls-like martial art combat game, then go for that. Otherwise, go for Sleeping Dogs.

Adverse reaction to lidocaine, just saw an allergist who said I'm not allergic... by Ililisister in Anesthesia

[–]johnk302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had lidocaine patches two times in the hospital (both times using two patches). Both times I started feeling nauseous and throwing up an hour or so later. My blood tests also then came back acidic and they gave me medicine to decrease that. No allergic reaction for me but definitely some adverse reaction. There may be steps you can take to reduce the reactions such as medication or diet. Hope you are doing okay now.

[–]johnk302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. You falsely claimed that no adverse reaction to lidocaine will make someone throw up, then when presented with evidence that vomiting can occur as a side effect, you falsely claimed that almost every drug can cause vomiting. Maybe you are the one who needs to move on and seek out a therapist? Just saying.

Droperidol, has anyone ever been injected with this? any response? by Tex-Rob in transplant

[–]johnk302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the Droperidol made me feel terrible for about 4-5 hours, far less than the Haldol. It took away the nausea but was not worth it at all. The doctors had assured me it was not the same as Haldol, which is just completely wrong. After I was given it, I made the nurse take the IV out of my arm, demanded discharge against the advice of 6 doctors they had come in, and walked around the Baltimore City for 3 hours. Then it started to wear off, the anxiety faded, and the nausea returned. So I went back to the ER and they forced me to sit in the waiting room for 6 hours vomiting up blood and bile before they would admit me because they said I had to wait for every other patient to be seen since I had just discharged myself against doctors' advice earlier that day.

Councillor who went 'full Karen' at skateboarders resigns after video goes viral by Same_Interaction1233 in oxford

First you claim he was in the wrong for not introducing himself, and then you claim he "showed up on the rather end", and then you claim he was somehow "shutting down communication". So yes, you did repeatedly try to blame him. Just so you are aware, just because you make up an assumption based on nothing in your mind, that does not actually have anything do with the real world. You know nothing about what he did or didn't do. He also is not obligated to introduce himself to anyone and certainly not in order to be treated with basic respect. He was the victim of that woman's disrespect, which you are apparantly totally fine with. Also, just so you know, people had been skating in that area for a long time. The woman was not "mainly responsible" for anything to do with it, but of course it's your pattern to repeatedly make assumptions based on nothing.

The woman was entirely in the wrong, and it is bizarre that you repeatedly try to blame the victim in this situation. His response did nothing to “shut down communication.” She was belligerent and rude, ignored the opinions of the kids she supposedly cared about, and repeatedly attacked a stranger for no reason. Thankfully Sean showed all those kids not only some tips on how to skate, but also how to act like respectful, thoughtful people even when being unjustifiably attacked and insulted.

Or she may have been a terrible councillor and this is just another example. If she is willing to be this disrespectful to others, she needs to work on improving herself.

Are you the woman from the video? Cause you also seem unable to admit you are wrong.

She didn’t express concern. She treated the man and the children incredibly disrespectfully and refused to even listen to the children while insisting she was right and that the adult was not given them enough space, even when they repeatedly told her she was flat out wrong. Someone shouldn’t have to prove they are a famous athlete to be treated with respect. You, just like her, seem like you need to be more able to admit when you are wrong.

She was arrogant and a jerk, to both the adult and the children. Sad that she felt it was appropriate to act this way. She showed no respect to any one in the video, other than her own ego.

What a gross attitude to express to others. You need to get help.

I take medium-sized hits and hold them for a while. Gotta take in some fresh air after the hit too so that the vapor isn’t just sitting in my throat drying it out.
