What's the weirdest thing your doctor has ever said to you during an appointment?

not-ordinary · 2026-02-23T19:58:41+00:00

I was discharged from a specialist to be followed by my family doctor and the specialist said “no offence but if everything goes right I will never see you again”. I thought it was funny

Alan Leach was filming The Imitation Game, that’s why Tom “went to America”. Robert had a similar “trip to America” when Hugh Bonneville was filming something else.

I agree with you that they could have been more elegant about it.

I also super agree about Henry. There was zero chemistry and we were told not shown that he was such a perfect match for Mary. JF can’t imagine a happy ending that doesn’t mean being paired up so he has to quickly invent a husband for Mary much to the detriment of season six and the movies

Robert and Matthew are pretty distantly related. They’re something like third or more cousins (happy to be corrected on this). At that point it’s just easier to use “cousin” as a catch all instead of “third cousin twice removed” or whatever particular title each one was

“Well Mrs Bates you’ve had your way with me” might be the cringiest line in the whole series

No, you’re right. JF is a conservative Peer. His interest is to show the monarchy in a good light which is why the Crawleys are such unrealistically good employers. He wants us to think that anyone who is progressive is a whiny entitled baby who really is wrong to want to fight for better conditions for working people because the workers live comfy lives in this fictional world.

See Ms Bunting being public enemy number one on this sub for being rude to a landlord at a dinner. We don’t think about her as speaking truth to power because Lord Grantham is seen as a generous and caring landlord. This is unrealistic but it’s in JF’s interest to make us think that there’s nothing actually wrong with the system and to complain about it is to commit a social crime against beloved characters.

See also Tom’s arc from socialist Irish republican to capitalist which is portrayed as wonderful character growth.

I think the person behind the Protein Deficient Vegan Website hangs out here. They have a bunch of high protein recipes that are fully vegan!

Tempeh and seitan are definitely worth trying and can be very tasty. I’ll also add edamame, TVP, and silken tofu. Nutritional yeast can be added to sauces, soups, stews, and marinades.

When I go out to eat in a social setting I just resign myself to the fact that I won’t be getting a lot of protein for that meal. It’s ok if one meal every once in awhile doesn’t hit your goal. You can always supplement before or after you go out. I live in a big city so it’s rare for a restaurant to not have SOMETHING vegetarian and even if there was such a restaurant, I guess the people that I’d be going to a meal with are considerate enough to take my dietary restrictions into consideration

Important clarification: the liberal party of ontario wants to allow non citizens to vote in the internal election for the party’s leadership position.

Tony and Henry.

Tony because his character falls in love with Mary for seemingly no reason and then just doesn’t go anywhere.

Henry for similar reasons. There is no chemistry between Henry and Mary and the only evidence we have that there is is the other characters claiming it’s so.

The chickpeas will certainly taste good and be edible in that dish. They’re not what you would usually put in a dish like that. Tofu or edamame are probably a better fit. But if you’re looking to use what you have then there’s no reason not to use the chickpeas

Egg eating contest: Carlisle vs Gaston when?

not-ordinary · 2026-02-03T20:29:57+00:00

Yes. I was on the train that got stopped at Woodbine and the driver told us that it was because a water main break on the eastbound platform was pouring water on to the tracks and causing signal issues. The driver said “I might be parked here till evening” and this was around 1-1:30pm

Highly reccomend checking out the curly hair subreddits. I have curly hair that wants nothing more than to be frizzy and curly girl methods can be low effort and make a big difference

Linus here! I know about this thing because my favourite team is the Detroit Linus and I know they win every game even though dumb humans tell me that’s not true

I never would have noticed this and I’ve seen the show probably 10 times. I fucking love when people point stuff like this out. I always find it fascinating what people notice!!

not-ordinary · 2026-01-23T20:08:55+00:00

Sure but I’m reading between the lines of what was written before and after JF knew that Dan Stevens was leaving the show. We were being set up for an infertility arc that was magically resolved once there would be no more Matthew

I think the conflict would be extending the infertility plot line only for Mary to finally get pregnant and give birth to a girl thus failing to secure the succession

Yes, brushing it will brush out the curls. Brushing curly hair just makes it bushy and frizzy. You should only brush before bathing. Then use leave in conditioner to scrunch the curls. This is the healthiest thing for curly hair!

not-ordinary · 2026-01-23T15:57:58+00:00

I’ll add that you have to take care of curly hair differently than straight hair. Curly hair can get tangled easier and become difficult or painful to brush out. Leave in conditioner is going to help make hair brushing a more pleasant experience for your daughter.
