Yeah, For some reason women having periods means that they delight in dismissing us whenever we’re sick. I remember my ex-wife making fun of me when I had the flu, and using her supposed position of authority on all things related to pain to just -not- take care of me at all. One of the many reasons she’s an ex.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are the majority Venezuelans actually happy trump just stole their president?
171·3 days agoIraq war was started in direct response to the 9/11 attacks, and if you recall, just about every other country had our backs in that move. It was stupid, based on a lie, and the real reason they did it was to show that fucking with the united states was a bad idea.
The actions in Venezuela have been universally condemned, based not even on a lie but on nothing. They didn’t even bother trying to make an argument as to why it should have been done, drumpf did it (predicatbly) to distract from the fact that he’s a rapist pedophile who’s plastered all over the epstien files. So a narcissistic felon racist pedophile rapist is flailing around using the united states military, killing hundreds all while still destroying the lives of everyone in the US, to distract you from the fact that he is a felon racist pedophile rapist.
Bit of a difference.

Fucking awesome. Hey, you know how you should always be honest with your doctors so they can better help you? Well just also know if you say anything that might be construed as illegal, they can and will call the police on you. Fucking pathetic. I fucking hate it here. What kind of loser piece of shit narcs on their fucking patient.
I’m so sorry mate.

No.
Couple months ago, I woke up to chest pain. Pain that I couldn’t get rid of. I’m going through my morning routine trying not to think about it, but it just keeps getting worse. Then it starts radiating out towards my left arm and I am feeling really nervous. I was going to text a friend, but then decided that it was stupid and just drove myself to the nearest emergency room (because of course I wouldn’t waste money on an ambulance, I’m an american, we live in hell). I came in feeling faint and dizzy and emotional and that blasted pain just kept getting worse. I remember the receptionist taking her fucking time.
Finally get a nurse to see me and she does a 12 lead EKG and has me hold up my sweatshirt while she’s applying them, and while she’s doing it, I end up fainting. I wake up almost immediately, but now I’m terrified. I told her I smoked a little weed to try to calm myself down, and now that’s all she cares about, wheels me back out into the waiting area so I can piss in a cup for her. At this point, I feel like they don’t care, my symptoms aren’t being taken seriously, and if I faint again, I’m gonna die in this shitty rural hospital.
So I piss in the fucking cup, fire off a few texts to people I care about, and I lay down on the hospital bed when just… a feeling of complete calm and relief descended upon me. Wherein I was like “well, shit happens, and not everybody can achieve all their goals. You were kind, and that’s all that really matters.” and there I was, just, completely accepting of what I assumed would be a swift death.
Then the doc came in and said “your EKG is fine, your troponin levels (when you have a heart attack your heart releases “help me” signals via this molecule, troponin) are normal, you just have a bad case of COVID.” I was floored. I mean, being sick is better than dying, but I was also just… ready to die? They disconnected my IV and shit and sent me on my way. Walked out into the night back to my car in such a daze.
But hey, I know when I die I’ll feel a sense of peace and relief that one can only dream of. Imagine winning the lottery and knowing you’ll be OK for the rest of your life. I imagine that it carries around the same level of peace I felt on that bed waiting for death.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK about Project 100,000, when the US conscripted people with mental disabilities to be used as cannon fodder in Vietnam, suffering triple the casualties of other soldiers
11·29 days agooh dang, then you almost made a point then. nice job!
Because it seemed like you were trying to say that Ukraine was drafting mentally challenged people, and was just as bad as russia for doing so. but it turns out that they just adjusted their acceptance standards and dissolved a commission. Good thing we know now that the point you tried to make was pointless distraction, and that my original comment is a far better interpretation of the actual events.

I think that’s a bit different than drafting mentally challenged people to be canon fodder

The Dream: My mother gifted me an old, beat up RV to live in. It was filthy inside, rusted outside. I saw my aunt who wanted to see it and give me a house warming present but I told her No because it was so gross.
The Explanation: It’s because I have a very strained relationship with my family right now. They failed to step up to protect me when I was young, and then failed to show up again when I needed support as an adult (along with numerous times in between). They left me with trauma and fear and self-hatred without ever an apology or a modicum of empathy. It’s left me with the intense desire to be seen and to be loved, but at the same time an intense fear of being treated again like I was for so long. It’s left me opting out of most of life, because who would want to see such a disgusting, shoddy RV like me? And even if I do convince myself that someone might, what if they burn my RV down? Or come in and are repulsed because they don’t like what they see?

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Road fatalities per 100,000 population in major US States, Australian States and Canadian Provinces
98·6 months agoThe fact that California, a state with THIRTEEN TIMES MORE PEOPLE than Mississippi, has less than half the number of traffic fatalities is mind blowing. Mississippi is just 30% of the landmass that California represents, and yet it gets more than double the amount of traffic fatalities.
Looking at the left side of the graph, the trend is easily recognizable. Drunk angry and repressed, poverty stricken republicans will drive drunk like it’s the right to bear arms. The further right you go, the more democratic the state.




I mean, republicans do. Everybody who voted for sane people with empathy are getting fucked. What the fuck is the point of being able to see through bullshit if over half the country can’t? I keep voting for the right candidates, and if it’s not republicans fucking us, then it’s a centrist dem.
I hate what boomers and idiots have done to my country, but I hate republicans and centrist dems even more than that
