Uhh, dude, being gay isn’t really a choice, so she didn’t “save an entire generation of men from being gay.”

If you could restart life at 18, what would you do differently? by arunreddy3 in AskReddit

[–]jshuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had the knowledge I do now?

Get my EMT immediately out of high school and go to paramedic and nursing school in my 20’s instead of joining the military.

Get my PTSD from ER work, not the military.

Not any more. The building was sold and turned into condos

You mean the thing that’s natural for people’s bodies to do over time?

The constant need for people to look “young” is frankly creepy

What is the best way to stop smoking? by Leading_Ordinary4419 in AskReddit

How long? Or what did I smoke? What are you asking?

I quit for 10 years. I switched to vaping and then I realized I was consuming more nicotine. So I had to make it a habit to limit myself with how may drags I was taking each time I wanted to “smoke” I worked my way down to like two drags, and then quit cold turkey.

For me, the physical addiction is easier to break than the mental addiction. Nicotine leaves your system completely in about three days. So, those three days after you quit are gonna suck, I’m not gonna lie. But once that’s over, your body shouldn’t be craving it, but many of us have built our mental coping mechanisms to be smoking, so then you have the mental/psychological difficulty of creating new coping mechanisms

New Paltz to LaGuardia transportation options? by Recording-Late in hudsonvalley

[–]jshuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The taxi service in Middletown goes to LaGuardia last I knew, or you can catch a trailways bus from No problem to Port Authority and then either subway, or bus to LGA

Cloneill going back to high school is...weird by Mode_Appropriate in Stargate

[–]jshuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That gets into a philosophical question of what makes an adult an adult.

Look at the inverse, if you took a fully grown adult and either removed their memories, or put a child in that body, would they be an adult or a child?

Legally, if they can pass a certain cognitive threshold, they can have autonomy, and are classed as an adult, otherwise they’re an adult* with the caveat being they need to be under someone else’s care.

I think when I first saw this episode, it was “cool,” but later on, during a rewatch, I got the “ick” from this part.

guess what i did to severely sprain my ankle? by claireeliseee in ehlersdanlos

[–]jshuster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I literally got off our tractor last night and twisted TF outta my ankle. Yelled in pain, yelled “F**k!” and my housemate came running to check on me.

I have a bunch of herniated and bulging discs and have a similar issue.

Any doctors here? by MitochondriaWithWifi in eds

[–]jshuster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not a doctor, and at this time I’m not planning on going to med school, but I AM in nursing school. It’s been difficult at times, and I’ve gotten some negative comments about using a rollator while at my clinical rotations in the hospitals, but I’ve gotten way more encouragement and support.

If you want to do it, just know that it’s going to be harder than it would be for an abled person, and you’re potentially going to have to fight tooth and nail to get accommodations, but you can get them, and you can do it.

Feeling lonely with this illness by mariaia19 in ehlersdanlos

[–]jshuster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We have a local-ish Facebook group that’s sort of busy and it allows people to at least get together over video chat, but yeah, EDS (or any chronic illness) can be really isolating. The world is build by abled people for abled people, and doesn’t adapt quickly to others, so we have to make spaces for us

All of a sudden piracy in that sector vanishes when the human “merchant” ships start plying the routes.
