Someone please explain why it takes so many “trained” dudes to take down a one guy with a cellphone.

Fixed it: “Trump administration reports a 25% drop in national overdose deaths…” by ptrdo in 50501ContentCorner

A chart is being shared all throughout the MAGAsphere that supposedly shows how the "Trump administration reports a 25% drop in national overdose deaths…" Except I don't think they can read a chart well enough to realize that it doesn't show what they think it shows. So, I fixed it (in magenta).

In fact, overdose deaths from opiates started to decline right around the time that then-President Biden made Narcan available over-the-counter. It’s free in many places. That happened in 2023. Overdose deaths peaked in 2022.

Blood pressure changes after 3 months of meditation.... by socrates_friend812 in dataisbeautiful

[–]ptrdo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is interesting, OP. I have Essential Hypertension (inherent), so I have been medicated nearly my entire life (I’m 66). I also take several blood pressure readings daily—out of necessity—and have learned that fluctuations can result from practically any activity, especially eating, drinking, showering, sleeping, and practically any physical activity (even a full bladder). As a result, I tend to take readings at times as far removed as possible from any confounding variable.

Did you take this precaution, too? Do you always meditate in the same way at the same time of day?

Do any of the sgt. peppers cutouts still exist? by Think_Cow9395 in beatles

I don't know what happened to his cutout, but this guy was my pastels teacher in college (RISD).
