  • All of the Apollo missions, actually, including 13. In fact, Apollo 13 marks the farthest distance human beings have ever been from Earth because of the modified trajectory they had to use in order to get back to Earth faster with their damaged spacecraft.

    But Apollo 13 also is the only moon mission where there was never a single individual alone in the ship when it went dark behind the moon. (On all other missions, the Command Module Pilot remained in the ship while the other two landed on the surface, so for the duration of that time, they were doing solo orbits that took them through the silent shadow of the moon.


  • Bullshit

    I’m born and raised in Appalachia, my daddy worked in the coal mines and drove an 18 wheeler. Certified redneck enough that I confuse the shit out of my New England neighbors.

    I went out and marched with striking nurses when Bernie put out the call, and I’ve never voted Republican in my entire fucking life.

    OP, you need to learn what a redneck is.






  • No, they do not have different drug trials based on sex or gender. No, medication absolutely does not have different effects based on sex or gender. Hearts, lungs , kidneys, all work the same no matter what kind of reproductive organs you happen to possess.

    We do not distinguish based on sex or gender when administering medications. We only account for body size and individual response/tolerance to a medication.


  • I’m in my late 40s, single, own a house independently, responsible for all my own expenses.

    I’ve definitely gotten way less conservative as I age. I don’t rage at paying taxes because I want my neighbors to have nice roads and schools and healthcare and food and food educations even if they’re poor, even if they’re immigrants. Because that’s what Jesus world want me to do with my money: provide for my neighbor.


  • I’m a critical care nurse.

    We do not dose based on gender. We dose based on height, weight, and individual response/tolerance of a medication. Nobody cares what’s in your pants when we’re giving you drugs. Definitely no one is taking your bone density into account. I literally just sent out the tiniest little old lady from our critical care unit yesterday on the highest dose of metoprolol I’ve ever seen in my life.

    Stop lying. Trans rights are human rights. Gender affirming care is medical care. The medical community is clear on that point.





  • I can’t tell you how often this ends old people’s lives. They start to aspirate food, get hospitalized for nasty pneumonia because of it, we try to feed them pureed food (essentially baby food all over again) and thicken their drinks, they struggle to stay hydrated and nourished because of it, they aspirate and end up in the hospital again. Rinse, repeat.

    This is shockingly common. Evolution is a dick.
