@theBrianaMills They do get paid for the office visit. Maybe even a bonus fir how many they see in a day. But people doing the right thing for the right reasons is becoming more and more scarce these days.

@BloggingJackie So why bother treating people? Maybe because it’s the right thing to do.

There are way too many people who actually, literally believe that medical doctors behave like House when in actuality they take one look at you, refuse to do any tests, and tell you it's all anxiety or that you're too fat.

@IAmLilRico Salem, MA, on Halloween.

What city have you been to that felt like it had dark energy?🤔🌃

@cowincrisis Dude! You forgot “Belgian Malinois” under the Right list.

@softboywin First, you make those cookies much bigger! Second, freeze them on the cookie sheet. When you want one you only need to nuke it for 30 seconds. It tastes so good!

baking when u live alone is like ok i had my fun now what do i do with 28 cookies

Everyone: I want to move to Pittsburgh and rent a 3/1.5 with a yard and garage for $1,000/month. Us Pittsburghers: IT. IS. A. CITY! You jagoff. Best we can do is 2/1 for $2K. I have 4 other people looking at it.

@JesterJum @Canis_Lupis_Rex Rent some huge party speakers. Take a day off and JAMMMM the soundtrack from “The Phantom of the Opera” all day long. Wait two weeks. Do it again. Wait 3 weeks, rinse and repeat. Now they have NO idea when you’ll do that again. Mwahaha.

@Canis_Lupis_Rex Im guessing during the day while everyone else is at work? I honestly have no idea

So Alex and I moved into our new house in November. The house is awesome and its out in the country which we love. We are in a neighborhood but you cant win em all 🤷 Well, the new young neighbors across the street are apparently very devoted fans of music with LOTS of bass and they are clearly tech savvy cause their speakers can be heard from 3 miles away. They also must have many wealthy friends because 17 cars with really expensive looking rims line the street outside their house every night that they throw large get togethers.....at all hours of the night during the work week. This is all good and fine except its annoying as F*CK hearing that at 2am on a Tuesday and we have little kids who are trying to sleep! We are in the country so noise ordnance is not a thing....need some advice on how to address this without ending up on the news or in an altercation. Anyone got some advice? Please and thank you.

@elonmusk So you want Wall-E?! Because that is how you get Walk-E. Those people did not look happy at all. Humans were built to create new things, tend to the Earth, and assist with other humans. Take that away and EVIL enters.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@jamesjjohnson83 @mudscryer Again, you believe telling a loved one to stop doing something you deem as wrong/evil will make them stop. That has never worked in all of humanity. What you can do is make it almost impossible for them such as working to make it illegal with stiff penalties.

@BloggingJackie @mudscryer Yeah I don't think dropping vague hints about how you might privately disapprove of child genital mutilation is an especially courageous or successful strategy to prevent another child from getting mutilated.

Can anyone counsel me on how to approach my brother about not circumcising his baby next month? I’m very anti circumcision becuase I think an adult should be making that choice for themselves and not a baby having its body part cut off but idk how to approach it with him

@elgranbro If you can’t afford to give a gift do not give it. If you expect a kindness returned in equal value it was never a kindness. It was a bribe.

Mi boda en cifras: 105 invitados y un menú de 120€ por cabeza. Solo en el banquete me gasté 12.600€. Mi pareja y yo lo hicimos con toda la ilusión, pero al abrir los sobres la realidad nos ha dado un bofetón. Solo 38 personas cubrieron su plato. 67 personas vinieron, comieron, bebieron y se fueron dejando el sobre vacío o con una cantidad ridícula. He pagado más de 8.000€ de mi bolsillo para invitar a cenar a gente que, por lo visto, solo venía por el buffet libre. Se me cae la cara de vergüenza al pensar que mientras yo brindaba con ellos, me estaban dejando un agujero económico de 120€ por barba. Y eso sin sumar fotógrafo, flores o vestidos, que eso sabíamos que corría por nuestra cuenta La pregunta es clara: ¿Tengo que asumir que he perdido 8.000€ por "amistad" o tengo derecho a mandar un mensaje y pedir que, al menos, cubran lo que se han comido? Nota: Esta historia no es mía. Es un testimonio anónimo que me ha llegado de un recién casado que está a punto de mandar a la mierda a más de la mitad de su lista de invitados. Una noche de fiesta, años de deuda. ¿Qué opináis?

@jamesjjohnson83 @mudscryer The time to have said anything directly to your sister was BEFORE the wedding. What you can do now is donate $ to “28 too many” and/or “Daughters of Eve”. Tell them you did that. They’ll get the hint.

@BloggingJackie @mudscryer Now imagine if your brother in law had a baby girl and was going to get her clitoral hood excised? Would you keep your opinion to yourself?

@Elohim_Gadol A friend in college asked me how have I never read a certain part of the Bible. My answer was if it was that important the priests would have been sure to tell me. I have since read the entire thing twice. Which is also why I am now a Recovering Catholic.

The saddest part of the entire Pope Leo situation is realizing that many Catholics, in truth, are not well grounded in the reading of the Scriptures.

@txsalth2o So… this happens near all the colleges and universities, especially when the school year ends.

@_sorrengailll Yes! Please.

Apple for the love of all that is holy, can you PLEASE let iPhones change the volume of the alarm without changing the ringer volume? It’s a simple request. I know you can do it.

@ronsterd89 Should children be taught manners? Heck yeah! You call it forced because why?

In your opinion, should children be forced to say "thank you" and "please"? 🤔

@regnad_kcinn @MultifamilyMad Being the mom of 2 boys I wish I had thought of that!

@MultifamilyMad A lot of people put their kids through them instead of giving baths at home.

Can someone explain to me how this country can open up any more car washes? Everywhere I go I see a new one opening with several already nearby it. I don’t get it.

@oku_yungx Thank you for letting me know. Now I won’t feel bad completely ignoring you.

@Marcela252016 Gertrude, Gertie for short

Busco un nombre de niña ridículamente antiguo. Piensa en un nombre de bisabuela. Muy antiguo y raro.

@martinangler I stopped believing it was hubris and now believe they look at what insurance you have. That affects how much they can actually help you and what protocols they can follow.

One of the most damaging moments in any doctor-patient-relationship is when the doctor, who is a de facto gatekeeper for diagnosis and treatment, ignores or downplays a patient's reported symptoms. It destroys trust and causes tangible long-term harm.
