“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

-Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

You absolutely should, it’s a glorious bottomless rabbithole.

It’s considered unethical

Uh yeah and it fucking should be, jesus christ.

I’ve been with a number of people as they came out of anesthesia and they were “awake” and talking before they were really conscious of it. Same experience with my own surgeries; I have no recollection of eating a popsicle but apparently I did and tried to share it with the whole nursing staff.

I think your friend is full of shit.

Where did the siren sound come from? Are they making paramedics work double duty as dispatchers now?

Yeah, I only had a handful of CDs because they were too expensive! I jumped on the napster train and got a CD burner as soon as I could.

The standard price where I grew up was $13. Feels like a steal these days.

What does the vet say?? There are no other antibiotics or painkillers available?

Jesus just go hold and comfort your damn dog. Go sleep on the floor with him. You should hope that if you are ever in a situation where you’re in too much pain to sleep, literally screaming, and desperate for comfort from the one person your life depends on, that they don’t treat you like such a burden.

Your dog is only a part of your life, but you are your dog’s WHOLE life. You’re enduring a lack of sleep, but your dog is suffering and does not understand why the person he loves so much won’t help him feel better.

Instead you’re locking him in a cage and trying to drown out his cries. Be better.

Never thought about doing that, great idea, thanks!

Zeker waar, maar er zijn gewoon niet zo veel kansen “back home” als ik mijn familie bezoek 🥲

That’s not true; I also speak Dutch!

Anyone want to speak Dutch with me? … That’s what I thought.

Was Bojack Horseman telling the truth about improv??
