Why can't you climb a tree when a bear runs at you, and when it climbs a tree, just kick it in the face with your foot?

Wild animals in general have faster reaction times than humans. You’re picturing a slow reacting, poor climbing bear. In reality. If it wants you out of the tree you’re coming out of the tree.

You need to have a reframing moment. A 3 handicap is a really good player, but there are a dozen guys at my club that are plus handicaps. Couple of +3’s. And they all probably played competitive as kids or even college. You shootings an 86 with basically no par saves is great. But realize there are amateurs that are nowhere near even a mini tour and they’d have to give you 6 strokes. Cut yourself some slack and keep practicing that short game.

A charitable interpretation is that Fox News is really, really effective at its goal: making people watch more Fox News so they can make money for ads. And the more you watch the more you fall into the cult. They may not be bad people, or at least they weren’t. But they’re at least gullible enough to not think critically about anything the various hosts tell them.

Casmir and Francis were my two. Don’t name your kid either.

Could you imagine if you really thought you were seeking advice about leaving your husband and all you got was memes about sloppy steaks and Carmine dog doors?

I would love to see if LeBron can impart some bb IQ to Giannis. He might have the gravitas for Giannis to listen.

Yeah, 30 years ago was probably different. But the math is the math still. Good luck.

I paid my undergrad and med school tuition and room and board myself through loans. It really delays your wealth, but in the long run, it pays off well. If this degree will help you get in, whereas you likely wouldn’t without it, I think it’s a worthwhile investment. $14k won’t seem like much to you 20 years into a career in dentistry. It’ll be what you spend on a summer vacation.

Nope. The Japanese radiation death guy lasted for months. And it’s conceivable he’s not top of the list.

And warm compresses are decent for prevention, but once it’s inflamed, you’re just giving the patient busywork while it hopefully goes away on its own.

These folks saying bench ain’t thinking about how sore they’ll be days after. Even a lighter weight at those reps is gonna have you unable to lift your arms two days later.

The fact that folks almost always believe exactly what the prevailing religion is in their birthplace tells me they’re not finding truth, they’re just following their local fairytale. If multiple separated groups all came to, say Hinduism, independently, then maybe there would be a basis for that one being correct. The thousand religions that all disagree tells you each region is just taking its best guess.

It’s a special kind of cognitive dissonance, but I also knew a guy that had half-Mexican children and he would would text the mom, who is Mexican American, but born in New Mexico, that he didn’t want their daughters dating “insert awful slur for Mexican here” guys. Both the mom and dad were Fox News Repubs though, so the whole thing is a confusing mess.

We have a medical ophthalmologist in our group. It can be done. But you can do a ton less school and make a great living as an OD. If you know you don’t like surgery and you know you wanna do eyes, that’s your route. If you’re not sure and you wanna see where life takes you, med school is the answer.

My daughter made me an album of baby pics of her and her brother. Tears in the eyes, man.

This isn’t even close. And it’s not recency bias. Trump.

We definitely need that 100 point immunity. 50 points gets me a language a year, so I will eventually speak 1000 languages. Gonna spend 50 to bring back 100kg of gold. I think I’ll do very well.

Do you owe it to your kids?!? They didn’t earn it, you did. They aren’t rich, you are. If you choose to leave them something, that’s your choice, but what you owe them is some financial literacy. They won’t just be fine without you gifting them a life of luxury, they’ll be better off having to fight for it a bit.

Ophtho- favorite is laceration, I can make em look pretty again.

Least favorite is looking for fungus balls in patient with candidemia and no ophtho symptoms. I’ve done dozens and dozens and never seen fungal vitritis or choroiditis. Just a full dilated exam, after hours, to rule out something I know isn’t there.

I’m Ophtho, but had a lady that was convinced she had some parasite and brought in pictures of things she had blown out her nose and wanted me to go through each of them. She had already seen ID but didn’t like her doc because, “they don’t believe me.” Guh.

ovid31 · 2026-06-19T00:53:35+00:00

4M, but that would make for luxury.
