samcarter34 Apparently it was also inbetween a crematorium and a dildo shop

I know, and I am CRYING. What a fitting end to the Empire.

Theory: the reason why wizards don’t like each other is because they’re all competing for paper.

This would mean Trent, universally hated, is the biggest paper hog of all, and I don’t know how I feel about that.

I just hope the dude realizes the bullet he dodged and shuts up. CR's being nice.

Given his response to theirs, I doubt it. He’s still trying to spin it like CR is doing everything wrong at every turn. He claims to be ‘signing off’ but is back every time CR puts out a message or updates programming because he knows that’s when he’ll get the most views. IMO.

lalainajanes Nope. They cannot refuse treatment for any reason if a patient has life threatening injuries. Going to the ER for a broken finger is dumb anyway - you'd wait ages. It was pretty clearly just an excuse to try to score some internet points.

Oh, it was definitely for internet points, and hilariously it backfired on her.

lalainajanes My sister in law worked as an ER nurse and they often sent people home for small things. Like, she had one lady who burned herself with a curling iron and got pissed off because a dr wouldn't see her.

See, that’s what I was wondering; here, you’d have to see them for the curling iron burn. They’d be seen in the order of importance, of course, so if it’s a busy time, you’re going to be waiting for a while, but people abuse the ER a looooot at least locally. When I used to work for the clinic, one of the things I did was distribute the mail for the docs, and every cold and flu season I would see letters from the hospital asking the physicians to please remind their patients of proper emergency room usage. I filed a lot of hospital reports on patients who would literally go to the ER because they’d had the sniffles for a few days. If you were a repeat offender for abusing the ER, you and your primary care physician would receive a letter showing how many times you’d been treated at the hospital over the last few months, but it was really just an FYI for your doctor, in the hopes that they’d once again go over the whole responsible use of the ER spiel.  

samcarter34 If it's an emergency, no. Though if you're going to emerg for a broken finger you're going to be waiting until doomsday anyway, might as well go somehwere else.

People go to the ER for the stupidest things. When I used to work in medical records, sometimes a medical record release from another clinic or insurance company or whatever would request something very specific, so I would have to actually read through the records to see if I could find any mention of the particular issue they were referencing, and I remember once reading a hospital report on a patient who had gone to the ER for a cut on her finger that was so minor all they did was slap a bandaid on it, and she was fucking PISSED that they had taken so long to see her. Like, wtf, lady, did you expect that they would treat your paper cut before someone’s massive heart attack?

samcarter34 said: trying to separate trans people from the rest of the lgbt community is a pretty common terf tactic, unfortunately. wish twitter would just axe her account already.

I mean they never will because of who she is, but she needs to stop making the common celebrity mistake of assuming that success in one area signifies some kind of expertise or insight in all areas.

samcarter34 Yeah, there was next to no milk when I last went. This panic seems to have destroyed people's concept of time.

For some reason people don’t seem to understand that stocking up on 50 years’ worth of perishable items is not helpful.

People are seriously writing entire essays about how Liam is bad/this ship is bad because xyz while straight up ignoring that the inciting incident happened over 70 episodes ago, and he hasn’t done a thing. And he’s probably never going to. If they hate Liam that much and think he’s forcing everyone to do things his way, why are they watching. It’s a show, not healthcare, it doesn’t affect them in the least to just step away.

People enjoy making others feel bad in order make themselves feel like good people.

Laura was in the middle of trying to pull the mithril out of the ice, snapping the rope would have made that impossible. Matt had Marisha role for the shuriken damage before seeing what Laura got on the strength check.

Yeah, and I guess I’m saying that I think there was a reason Matt did that? And that, while I bristle at the idea of RP choices ever being “mistakes” in D&D, there would have been much more...interesting and potentially dangerous consequences for that Strength check on its own, if Matt hadn’t chosen to be generous and have the rope snap. Based on his description of how the ice formed, I didn’t interpret it as something Jester would be able to pull out at all. But as the previous replier said, a difference in interpreting what had happened with the ice breath and the shield was probably the source of Laura and Marisha taking such different approaches.
