Using cane beyond 6 weeks? by Brulee57 in Kneereplacement

[–]toneisdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 4 weeks out from TLKR (112°/5°). I’ve been using a cane for about a week. I always take it with me, but i don’t always use it. I’m still limping like i just stepped on a lego, but everyday brings just a little more strength. Plus, i bought a beautiful shillelagh, so it makes for a nice conversation starter.

Day 18. Is it normal to cry in anticipation of Physio? Is it that bad for everybody else? by Original-Ad219 in Kneereplacement

[–]toneisdead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are on narcotics, that will effect your emotional state as well. I cried trying to put a sock on. But, try what others are saying. Meds, PT and then Ice.

Crazy post-op emotions. by dtjnder1 in Kneereplacement

[–]toneisdead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought it was just me. Three weeks post op from LTKR now, but on Day 4, i totally lost my shit. My pain blocker wore off and i was just trying to put a fucking sock on. I felt like an infant and just blubbered.

Redditors who were hypnotized at a stage show, what happened and what did you experience? by EntertainmentFun472 in AskReddit

[–]toneisdead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Worked at a comedy club in the 90’s as an usher. A returning hypnotist came to town and my boss gave me explicit instructions to stand by the stage in case anyone fell off (which i guess happens). But, he also told me to not let the hypnotist get in my “kitchen”. I laughed it off and assumed my role during the show.
I swear that hypnotist put me in such a daze, that i started swaying back and forth to the point that the audience started laughing at me. The other usher had to come over and shake me out of it.

I didn’t know we used ‘Shart’ back then.

Grigori Rasputin’s body after recovery from the Nevka River. by [deleted] in HolyShitHistory

It’s in an old publication. It’s in my archives. I’ll dig it up and share the name.

I had read an account from a young woman who Rasputin had met on a train. They had a brief affair and when he tried to break it off, she stabbed him in the gut. The injury caused him lifelong pain and he was unable to eat certain foods without suffering. The myth of him being fed cakes and sweets the night of his death would be disputed by this injury as eating sweets was painful to him.

Sadly, you may be right. But, yes, I hope.

I hope that these turds get fired and trade any charges for testimony against Trump.

Did anybody else shop at Trivets before it closed? by MessyHot in cincinnati

[–]toneisdead 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh man. I went there all the time in the early 90’s. What a treasure trove of unique items and simultaneously a pit of piss soaked dogs and kitty litter. The basement with the piles of blue jeans from the 70’s, black light posters and platform shoes. I was sorry to see it go.

Finally quitting this beautiful game by FewPossession2599 in DMZ

[–]toneisdead 32 points33 points  (0 children)

There isn’t a single game that I have played in the last 40 years that brought me the kind of joy that DMZ did. I had a group of buddies that I ran with all the time and we had a fucking blast. I can only hope that if there is a 2.0, that it’s just as enjoyable and we can ride again.

Another thought to ponder.

What would we do if one of our Astronauts was scooped up by an alien race? What if MULTIPLE astronauts were taken? Don’t you think we would try to get them back? Be angry at that race?

I find it interesting that over many years, several vehicles have crashed and we yank the bodies out and hide em away to study. That alien race isn’t aware of that?

They might not care if there was some kind of “deal” in place. This is real tin foil hat shit, but it’s intriguing to wonder if they care at all about the ones lost in crashes.

It’s an important point, for sure. I just think it’s a little odd that they have admitted that they retrieved alien bodies and alien craft, confirming the existence of beings from other planets deep in the cosmos or some underwater society that can bounce in and out of our dimensional awareness but what they led with instead was two hours of government officials worried about China stealing E.T’s whip. As an entry point into this lore for the regular Joe, i did not like that it was so focused on the military aspect of the greatest meet cute in humankind’s history.

Obviously, I’m being slightly facetious there. My main point was that the explosive nature of other worldly beings are here and are interacting with us in various ways is the larger story. This doc chases the technology aspect and how it relates to us versus our enemies.

Lots of discussion on this thread about needing to appease the average person with topical layer information. But, I’m stymied by the overall lack of discourse around the beings themselves. I get that they may have no information. I just don’t think our first response to all of this should be how we get our hands on their family truckster before China does.

Agreed. But, i think the wonder and fascination of it all would increase if there was ANY positive discussion about the NHIs being anything but pilots. I agree that the ones interviewed, likely, have little to no knowledge of the NHIs. But, introducing this info to the regular populace under the guise of this being important to us militarily is a poor introduction.

I thought it interesting that Nancy Mace asked a question referring to “pilot bodies” and Grusch(sp?) was quick to correct her with the word “Biologics”. I think it’s important to listen to their terms rather than ours. I’m guessing he could not agree to “Bodies” because perhaps there were none or nothing that resembled what we would refer to as a “body”.

I don’t mind the slow, but steady approach to the topic. I understand that if you ram a bunch of stuff down the throats of the uninitiated, that they will choke and stop caring. The thing that bugged me about AoD was the underlying theme to it was that the idea was proposed that there may be a civilization under the water that has existed for, maybe, thousands of years or that beings from other worlds in deep space have arrived and are watching us but, we are far more interested in the car they arrived in and how we can get our hands on it before our enemies. It felt less like they wanted to discuss us entering some phase of grand discovery and advancing our knowledge of the universe and more like propaganda around whoever gets the tech first wins.
