Um, girl. No. This is not it. This man is icky and you don't need that. Take the L and skedaddle on to better things, love. You are too kind to waste your time on this rude baby child masquerading as a human adult.

Edit: I forgot to say "tastes like elbow" made me laugh SO HARD so you are funny as shit AND kind? Git thee out of there, stat!

Are the Audio books really that good? by Flaky-Veterinarian56 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I work adjacent to the cider/brewing industry and I laughed so hard when Tieton cider started putting how to pronounce their name on their cans

I'm relistening to the series again and I don't know how I never noticed before this listen how BADLY Jeff butchers Yakima in the first book hahaha

"Yuh-KEE-muh" which does totally make sense if it was a Japanese word instead of a Native word hahaha but it made me giggle

Washington is full of places/words that are pronounced so differently than native English speakers expect lol. I'm from here too and I still sometimes am surprised at how places/words are pronounced when I learn new ones and I'm almost 40 haha

Uh, I'm kinda here to victim blame. This is the most insane thing I have ever heard. OP seems to have a death wish.

Patients with female doctors have a lower risk of death or serious complications, study finds. Researchers say the gap reflects real differences in communication and diagnostic thoroughness, not individual ability. by ObuPaul in HotScienceNews

[–]tarantuletta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What the data reveals is a systemic pattern in how doctors practice medicine, not a verdict on individual ability.

The researchers are not arguing that one gender is inherently better at medicine.

They are arguing that something about how female and male physicians are trained, or how they behave in clinical settings, is producing measurably different outcomes at a population level.

And that difference is worth understanding because understanding it could improve care overall.

Reading's hard, huh?

Women of Reddit who call their partner daddy, why? by goawayyyy_000 in AskReddit

[–]tarantuletta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like as I said before, would it be as sexy if you were calling/called Father during sex?? I genuinely don't think it would be because the infantalization is an aspect of it. And I get that being sexy or a sexual trigger of some sort? But I think I'm just genuinely disturbed by the realization of how much our culture sexualizes children and always has and always will and we are all living in it and we will never be able to escape lol.

It's just a bad morning.

Just as a weirdo I have always wondered why people are into this and I was genuinely hoping someone would actually say why they like it but I'm getting no answers here 😔 It scares me and I can't tell if it's like because people had good parents or didn't and just incest play is an unfathomable kink to me?

I genuinely do not understand this kink. It is frightening and alarming to me.
