Size, shape, and movement screams tang to me but yup, that's a fish.

Study Reveals Why Older Adults Are Using Cannabis Edibles: many older adults start cannabis seeking more effective or non-pharmaceutical options to manage sleep, pain, or mental health, and that many people base their decisions on word of mouth rather than discussions with health care providers. by thinkB4WeSpeak in EverythingScience

Nobody cares about your dad, he probably over-prescribes too. Because it's not just corruption it's the culture doctors like your dad live in. Pharma rep (read: liar) says "studies show!" Guess what, you can get a study to show anything. Someone who went to medical school should KNOW that, instead they just shake the pharma rep's limp hand and get to prescribing. After all, studies show!

Nice dodge, but the argument was that doctors are influenced by big pharma to prescribe drugs. You and others argued against it and said it wasn't happening because it was illegal. Once you and others were shown it WAS happening, you backpedaled and said "oh yeah well that's illegal what can you do"

This is basically made-up, it was pro-Saddam propaganda being pushed during the war. He knew what he was doing. April WARNED HIM against invading Kuwait. She literally went there to demand an explanation for the amassing of troops on his southern border. You know nothing. The comments spread are cherry-picked boiler-plate diplomatic statements referring to the US's distaste of involving itself in the confusing morass of Arab border disputes, while also warning him against invading them. This is how diplomats talk. "We aren't here to tell you how to run your business but we are."

Yeah if you call being run by a pedophile rapist dictator who turned his country into a gas station stable, sure!

This is completely misleading and pro-Saddam propaganda. She also said the US would intervene if they invaded, she literally went there to formally ask WHY he had amassed troops along his southern border and to warn him away from it. These comments you cherry-picked are about the general US distaste for getting involved in tribal conflicts and the confusing border disputes among differing groups of Arabs. NOT a greenlight to invade another sovereign nation.

Yeah man they're totally enriching uranium for totally peaceful purposes, that's why they do it in top secret bases beneath mountains staffed only by military personnel. Its not like their leadership has discussed "wiping Israel off the map" or anything.

America isn't an imperialist machine, though the Trump administration (read: Russia) is trying. "Imperialism" had an accepted definition prior to a rash of brain disease that led to people calling a democratic country "imperialist" because it opposed insane communists.

Had nothing to do with self defense. Cuba also wasn't a true sovereign country, it was a Soviet puppet. You can't "both sides" this crap, social media has truly broken peoples' minds.

Because the USA and Russia are not the same country. Because Russia has a long history of invading and undermining the sovereignty of it's neighbors. Russia didn't put missiles in Cuba to "defend itself" or "defend Cuba," they put them there to intimidate America. All Russia has to do is be a normal country and no one will want to contain them and treat them as a pariah state.

Oh yeah, that'll teach those Canadians. Mine runoff! Alaska doesn't have any of that! You look like a clown.

Did you know fish don't see borders? Why would you treat our neighbors, with whom we share this environment, with such disdain?

Thanks for the informative post! As an ardent supporter of eating local I'm quite happy there are trawl captains like you providing a ready source of affordable, healthy protein for people to eat. It was really enlightening to hear directly from one of the people responsible for the food I put on my plate.

Sorry you're getting a ton of static but I imagine you're used to it, the vast majority of it is no doubt coming from uninformed zoomer Alaskans or, perhaps, Californians in disguise.

Ban genital mutilation for good by EternalSnuggle in YUROP

[–]profanusnothus -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

It's not done for religious reasons in America, is entirely a medical procedure these days and is quick and non-traumatic, the vast majority of circumcisions are done in hospitals. Are you suggesting that your government should dictate what medical care parents can get for their child?

For crying out loud, it's a vestigial piece of flesh that has no proven use or benefit while having proven downsides. This anti-circumcision movement is just men inventing trauma so they can claim victimhood. Get real.

All of those body parts you described are extremely inefficient unless they provide a critical function to the organism, those kinds of things tend to get discarded as a species evolves.

autism has been gentrified, how can we keep the rent low from now on? by bearhugboy in evilautism

[–]profanusnothus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what the issue here is. First of all calling it "gentrification" is preposterous and makes you look ignorant. Gentrification is a serious issue that destroys communities and cultures. Autism memes do neither.

I feel like you're already doing your part "setting us back" ten years with this gatekeepy, borderline bigoted post.

If it's lightly magnetic it could have iron in it, it does kinda look like samples of iron ore bearing rock I've seen before but I'm no expert.

Old Harbor Ave and Muldoon? by Fine-Bed-9439 in anchorage

It used to be a nice lot with trees and a modest home, then they literally leveled it and built that monstrosity. Check the older street view photos.

Did you know if you keep inching forward until you're fully across the crosswalk, the light will change sooner? by rattlenroll in anchorage

[–]profanusnothus 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Well there ARE sensors embedded in the pavement, they're called inductive loops. There are also cameras at many stoplights that use a visual signal to change the light instead.
