The thing about the Hershey's chocolate is that it has a much lower melting point than fancy chocolate. I'm not sure you can even find a chocolate bar in the UK that starts to melt quickly enough for the perfect smore.

My non-traditional preference is to use Nutella, which is probably one of the only chocolate products you can get in the UK that has as low a cacao content as Hershey's, and is a good contributor to the gooey mess.

Having fun imagining a scenario where these all share a root cause. The weak elbow probably does make the wrist more susceptible to RSI. Was the elbow fracture from a fall? Any chance you bumped your hip but didn't really notice at the time because you were distracted by the elbow? Weak hips definitely do cause weak knees. Honestly like half of knee PT is actually hip PT that protects the knee

So I have a weak knee now, which is a fun development, but it's on the same side of my body as my weak hip and my weak elbow and my weak wrist so I'm just becoming increasingly more lopsided.

As someone in and around their 30’s it has been INSANE to see feminism in popular media descend through

Women can wear pants and play sports and that’s equality. Women don’t just belong inside the house. This woman has a career

This woman can be a mechanic just like a man could. She’s probably still a lesbian, though, which is basically the closest to a man a woman can *be*, and explains everything. But she’s still a person!

If a woman superhero CHOOSES to wear stilettos to fight crime, that’s girl power! This comic character written and designed by men wears a bikini and has a waist size of 12 inches because it makes her FEEL POWERFUL! Girls don’t HAVE to dress boyish to be strong! She can make you a sandwich AND be a feminist! Girl power!

What, are you saying women HAVE to do boy things to be taken seriously? Who are you to tell a woman what to do? Maybe some women NEED to get their hair and nails done twice a month to feel powerful! Maybe a lot of women WANT to be stay-at-home moms!

What I don’t think you understand is that women have an inherent feminine spirituality which guides them towards maternal and nurturing paths. Women need to honour their divine female aura to keep their. Their fuckin. Their chakras together or some shit. You should put quartz up your hooha and huff wheatgrass. Leaving manual labour and science and technology to men is natural and good for you spiritually

Uh she can’t do that, that’s a blue job, she’s a pink job girly. Food? Yeah, she’s having #girl dinner, which is a handful of almonds. Time for our 15 step skincare routine, which is empowering. Hashtag #girlboss. Ew no, touching dirt? She’s just a girl. You can’t expect a girl to do that. Haha #girl logic

Spin the wheel. That's who's trying to kill you.

Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.

(If you have zero idea about the name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)

(Six months ago, I did a version of this poll with about five hundred options on the spinner wheel. For this one, I more than doubled it.)

If I could offer one piece of advice to anyone who needs to own a stethoscope, it would be to remember that everyone is purchasing basically the exact same stethoscope, and you may think “oh I’ll save money by not engraving my name on it, why do I need to do that” and that’s the devil speaking, and the devil wants you to lose your stethoscope and then a week later stare at a black littmann just lying on some desk somewhere, and you’ll be 80 percent sure it’s the one you lost, but you’ll have no way of knowing. Pay $15 to put literally anything distinctive on there.

one of the most annoying feelings in ADHD is the can't-get-started-with-anything feeling. like, your ADHD is screaming you have to do something. you can't just rest, resting isn't a thing. even if you are resting, it's by doing something.

but nothing works. you try to watch something, it's not right. you can't. read? can't read right now play? nah none of these games seem fun make something? ehh, you're not feeling any of these projects right now social media? it's boring or worse right now, so... find something else it's like you're not moving but it's because you're too tense to do anything, just vibrating in place

The potential harm of psych hospitals is often talked about like it’s impossible to study because you can’t ethically do controlled trials around hospitalizing/not hospitalizing (which id argue should be a point against them, as you’re committing a massive invasion and violation of autonomy for something you have no proof improves long term outcomes. Lack of data works both ways). But this study actually attempted to do this, it looked exclusively at “edge cases” (patients where there would be a reasonable disagreement between doctors on whether they should be admitted) and it showed that involuntary hospitalization in this population is associated with higher risks of suicide, accidental overdose, job loss, homelessness and even violent crime in the following three months. I think most people don’t realize how subjective these evaluations can be - one doctor in the sample admitted only 11% of er psych patients, while over 40 over the 400 something doctors admitted 100%. Anyway the conclusion was that “better safe than sorry” admitting actually more dangerous than discharging in those situations. Good to have data on this.
