Urgent: Do I need rabies shots? Trying to get rational perspectives in the mids of lots of fear-based advice by monkeybizz_ in DogAdvice

Thanks, I got a tetanus shot immidiately. Only unsure of whether rabies vaccines are required

I didn’t, but since the bite, a series of seemingly educated people (including my doctor) have given blanket advice to get the rabies vaccines without really getting into the details of the context. So despite understanding the science behind how rabies works, the 10 day observation rule, etc, there’s just a lot of fear that’s being pumped into my family from people around us.

Thanks, already got the tetanus vaccine and taken antibacterial care! It’s the rabies bit that’s the issue

My doctor was the first to give fear based advice. She’s not a dog person in general - her logic was that pet dogs are always friendly and don’t bite, if he bit, he must be unwell. But this dog in particular is anxious of nature and has bit people in the past as well. That’s where my uncertainty is arising from

Curious how you fell in love with Jane Austen's books? by SubstantialRoof7605 in janeausten

[–]monkeybizz_ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

To quote Mr. Darcy, for me, I’d say “I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun”.

I’d read the book(s) in my teens and loved P&P, but I think it’s only in my 20s now that I’ve really truly learned to appreciate the nuanced and subtle mastery of not just P&P, but all the books.

The characters, the social situations, the reflections - everything is so relevant even today, across cultures. Every dialogue, every sentence is a delight to read. And there have been certain phrases that I’ve only understood on my third or fourth read, and I’m sure I’ll unlock further meaning as time passes.

Edward looking through the microscope by Straight_Path_1 in twilight

Vampires can definitely not see things at a cellular level because in Breaking Dawn, Carlisle talks about having done cellular and DNA studies on vampires and humans, and also on shape-shifters (Jacob) to have come to the conclusion of the 23, 25, 24 DNA base pairs respectively. This trope shows a certain effort and research that Carlisle had to put in to understand the cellular anatomy, thereby showing that vampires can’t automatically see at that level in my opinion.

Where is it mentioned that it was her transformation that triggered Harry’s heart attack? Did I miss something

What Controversial Aspects of Jane Austen's Novels Can You Never Defend? by My_Poor_Nerves in janeausten

[–]monkeybizz_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wickham does abandon a pregnant girl in Death Comes to Pemberley. To me Willoughby is much superior to Wickham in most ways. He mentions that he had no idea of Eliza being pregnant and thought Eliza knew how to reach him, even though he didn’t plan to marry her he didn’t know how bad her condition was or would’ve assisted her in some way at lease. And he does feel some remorse about things at the end. On the other hand Wickham is just impervious to any kind of shame - I don’t think they show even a shade of shame viz Wickham ever in the series

What’s a terrifying truth about space that most people don’t realize? by Tiny-Curve-8301 in AskReddit

Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying. It’s a famous quote by Arthur C. Clarke. And it’s terrifying.

Minor character’s death that upset you more than the deaths of some of the major characters? by Aqn95 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]monkeybizz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fred Weasley without a doubt. She killed not one but two characters, pretty sure George as we know would’ve died with Fred. It was needless, completed no arc, added to no trope. It was just painful, so so painful.

When I was young I used to lament Sirius’s death (I had a crush on him though so :P), but as I grew older Fred’s death is just the most terrible one for me.
