  • During Covid one of my friends was like “you get a skateboard and I’ll get a BMX bike and it’ll be like we’re teenagers again!”

    And I’m like, what orthopedic surgeon is paying you to propose this exactly?

    Hell I’m a part-time father in my 40s and that’s an extreme sport at this point.


  • I tried so hard to make this point in my HS english class. She’d deride us for not using “sucks” the way it’s defined in the dictionary or whatever else we’d say. Lady, the word “sucks” is uttered about 10 billion times a day, and only about 1/10 of those are about differences in pressure. But yes please lecture me on what the meaning of the word is.

    epilogue

    After I graduated, she and her husband invited me to their house for “internet tutoring.” WIthin 15 minutes they were trying to fuck me. And thus I discovered the rumors about her were true.

















  • As usual Lemmy downvoting things they don’t agree with, even if it’s true.

    I was with a physician friend on the Las Vegas strip as a guy went down with a heart attack. I’m like, this is your moment! Go save them! And she grabs my arm and yanks me into a doorway so I can’t make a commotion, explains that no doctor will simply do that, it means they’re on the hook for it, when an EMT is just minutes away and is properly prepared to handle it. She said if doctors didn’t obey this unwritten rule, they’d constantly be giving out care to random people, possibly without admitting privileges in nearby hospitals, taking on liability they’re not insured for (being outside of a hospital), etc.

    So you’re completely right.
