why do you and others like vaccines so much?

not dying of preventable diseases is actually one of my favorite hobbies

[setulose]

Not to sound like a broken record but does it make anyone else viscerally angry how we realized in the very recent past that we can successfully eradicate devastating human-specific diseases (smallpox) yet now there's a million people telling you not to vaccinate your kids against measles. I know I know "everyone will not just" but also for real we could never have measles again if everyone would just be cool

[scienceoftheidiot]

Repeat after me : during the 90s WHO had estimated measles would be eradicated by 2020

No more measles. Eradicated. Forever.

Viscerally angry? Talk about being absolutely furious every fucking second of every fucking day.

[wowwforever]

if you told vin diesel fast and the furious you were gay he'd be like "Some people like driving stick…some people like driving automatic…what matters is you cross the finish line.." and then he'd rev up a dodge challenger and drive through a building and kill 16 people

[boogerwookiesugarcookie]

he literally did in the fourth one when he's asked if he likes cars more than women

[explorerrowan]

If you asked if he was cool with trans people, he'd probably say "sometimes, aftermarket parts are the only way to get the vehicle you really want. Everyone should have the right to hot rod."

When did you put [object] in [orifice]?

How long has it been since you last used meth?

Are you actually taking your [life saving medication]?

If something hurts during this exam, please tell me and I'll stop and fix it. The only time I wouldn't is if I was actively saving your life, and things have to go really wrong for that to happen during a [pap smear/iud insertion/colposcopy/emb/whatever].

You might feel some really weird pressure, like your abdomen is a purse and I lost my keys in there. That means your baby is almost here.

Please don't pull your catheter out there's a balloon in there.

Thank you for barfing in the trash/your emesis bag.

Push where you feel all that pressure, don't worry about me, that's what the [birthing stool/end of the bed/seat by the tub/pillow I chucked on the floor] is for

Hi this is Lurker with IM

Hi this is Lurker with the MICU

I heard about what's going on from the emergency room but I want to make sure I understand it from you

I don't expect this to happen, but I want to be prepared if there's an emergency. If your heart were to stop and you were to die, would you want us to do things like chest compressions and electric shocks to bring you back?

If you were to have trouble breathing on your own would you want us to put a tube down your throat and connect you to a machine to help you breathe?

If you weren't able to make your own medical decisions who would be a person you would trust to make them for you?

I have a few preventative things to talk about. What's on your agenda to talk about today?

Jail for [service] (followed by adding them to the "didn't get cultures" jail sheet)

i'm actually curious, what trinkets do you guys have on your keychains? 🗝️

FMA is fascinating because there aren't many works about what it means to be an atheist and a heretic to a god that you can not only see, but who has personally snatched body parts off of your living body and made fun of you for it.

[faeriekit]

They are having theological discussion in my notes but I think that people are too...divinity centric about Truth to make good interpretation of the situation.

Truth is a god in the way that gravity or magnetism is a god. He's just a manifested force of nature. He's sapient on some level, sure, which is a neat trick, but we managed to make meat think and we're not extraordinarily special about it either. He didn't invent humans and he didn't spawn the universe the way that Rose would have expected the god of her religion to have done; he has minimal to no interest in the day to day lives of any creature and only intervenes when someone actively wanders into his grip of influence. He's not a Capital-G God. Truth is to matter what fire is to flammable objects. He's a metaphorical (and perhaps even allegorical) chemical reaction.

Ed isn't an atheist because he saw god and cussed him out irl; Ed's an atheist because he doesn't believe that the brute force of Truth qualifies as a god. Quite frankly, I think that's a hell of a lot ballsier and a much more complete understanding of the situation. This perspective insulates him against idolizing the Truth as an ultimate divine force and makes Truth something that can be reasoned around or through, rather than with, which would never have worked.

Ed is a scientist. He's always worked with the Truth in some way, shape, or form, because the whole point of science is an attempt to pursue lower-case-t truth. Being able to see Truth's reflection in the mirror as he does doesn't really affect Ed's whole..everything.

it's about a girl and her dog :)

Ok, Have you in real life ever seen a bathroom that had its light switch Outside of the bathroom. Not like one of those fancy giant bathrooms where the toilet is in its own little room, but a normal sized bathroom where you could be in there doing your thing and someone Outside could just turn the light off on you?

This is so normal to me

Yeah but it's weird

Maybe? normal though.

Maybe? weird though.

No but I'm pro this being a thing

no and what the fuck why would that be a thing

Other

Button.

Voting ended on15h

In Real life. not in a videogame or movie because I've Only seen it in videogames and a friend has spotted it in a movie.

[bucketofdeltav]

Yes, but mostly in hotels.

And having the toilet in its own little room is also normal, that's not a 'fancy giant bathroom' thing, that's a 'normal house' thing.

[annabelle--cane]

"rocky would hate stratt because she hurt his bestie" plausible, even likely. "rocky wouldn't hate stratt because he understands the stakes of needing to save the actual world" nuanced, intellectually stimulating. "stratt would hate rocky because her ex wife whom she killed is happier with him" intriguing, avant-garde.
