Things You Pondered Today

[botefdunn]

What's going to the Dr look like where you're from.

Does it usually help or do you leave confused and frightened like me?

How close to death do you gotta be in your state to get help?

there's universal healthcare where i live, people bellyache about the wait times, but they're wrong because realistically spending a day in a waiting room every few years is a small price to pay for everyone having access to quality medical treatment. its still a b to navigate the medical system though, bureaucracy and egos.
The process of getting to a physician you trust and a helpful diagnosis can be grueling and like you said, scary and depressing. But when im sick or hurt i feel that everything is kind of shit no matter what, so i try not to trip on the system.

I only go for emergencies or when i need bloodwork for something like a tic bite.

my heart goes out to anyone with ongoing health problems, naving the system all the time would be exhausting and caude a lot of anxiety.

What if iconic tricks like Arto's fakie flip down that MACBA 4 block were filmed by Strobeck and his current style of filming where half his body was cut off and it was jerky? Would we still think it's that memorable without seeing how effortless Arto's upper body looked?

You from Aus? You should routinely just check that your doc is still available. Heaps of places don't have free appointments anymore and you might have to use a bit of planning if you want to get seen at all.

For uncle flea yeah unfortunately leaving a docs kinda confused is pretty normal. I have dealt with some very shitty ones but generally doctors do actually want to help you (or at least get you out of there quickly) so getting them to write stuff down usually isn't a problem. Also couldn't hurt for you to plan ahead and write a clear list of questions/what you need to get sorted before you go in.

What happened to KFC’s laptop meals? I’m missing that right now.

[SneakySecrets]

It feels like time stopped somewhere around 2015.  Something was lost; I don’t know what.

It seems like there’s stuff happening, but there really isn’t. 

I think that it’s got something to do with that popcorn kernel that looked like a Langolier.

[Mean salto]

^I have some weird pre and post 2015 shit I always think about too but I just chalk it up to me getting older, internet and streaming shit became standard and by that point everyone on earth had smartphones.



Today thinking about how wierd it is that there's less time between big fish boards with 60mm wheels and flip sorry than there is between like pretty sweet and today. (Or maybe not exactly but close enough)
And how in menikmati they had this old tom penny footage that would be like putting someone's 2018 footage out as a retrospective in a video today

the song "you're so vain" by carly simon is like "you're so vain, you probably think this song is about you" but the song is about that person which she makes clear by singing it directly to them. so is the person's vanity really demonstrated by her singing this refrain towards them?

Why "trick" became the standard term for actions performed, other than pushing and turning, on a skateboard instead of "maneuver," "stunt," "move," etc.

yeah, i sometimes have an awkward awareness of the word "trick" when i hear it or use it in conversation - deep down i feel that is is a little devaluing to skateboarding, or maybe deep down i'm just cut that what i do are "tricks" and that skateboarding is silly and not as cool as i think it is. (must be noted that skateboarding is in fact silly and i love it for that)

“Sick moves you got there broski”
“Radical moves!”

I can see the awkward 80’s movie with lots of flashy neon and half cut shirts, now.

Wait, wait… even better: “Top That”

Was lying in bed this morning and my stomach made a noise that reminded me of the beat in the Too Short's song "Blow The Whistle." Then I wondered if I'm the only person in the history of the world who's ever had that thought.

Holy shit. 2024 trendwatch: Stomach-Core

I hope one day I can get a sick beat from my stomach, too. The 90’s dance remix of “Total Eclipse of the Heart”  would probably sound pretty good.

My life flashed before my eyes.

Are we real?

Am I actually on life support?

What's wrong with me?

Why is everything broken?

[Banned from the room]

How do I get back to my body?
And what happens when I do?

Can I still skate everyday when I come out of this Koma trip?

Should I continue to flee or should I get up and follow the probably hallucinations?

Probably should put clothes on first tho.

[TheLurper]

Why am I paying to stream old episodes of American Dad on Hulu and watching ads?

[SneakySecrets]

Freddy Prinze Jr. is apparently one of the lead writers for the WWE and is married to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, making him the de facto ruler, shadow spirit leader and center mass of white trash dramatic culture, to speak nothing of his genetic lineage.

I got a letter from jury duty saying I'm going to be fined 2000 for not showing up.

Wtf world is this? Was it all a dream.

Could Lawrence court see a high stud count? How do they not remember me?

How would one know if they are shadow-banned?

When Clark Kent switches into Superman mode, what do he do with his clothes?

[fakiefs180]

When Clark Kent switches into Superman mode, what do he do with his clothes?

Sometimes he rips them apart because he wears the suit under his casual clothes. He is smart. If he has a bit more time he will change his outfit.

I'm in virginia heading south, just stopped by the side of the road to take a piss. As I stepped towards the tall weeds bordering the road, it struck me that when I hit georgia, there might be gators in the ditch.
Do people in Georgia and Florida worry about gators when they get out to take a piss on the side of the road at night? Is this common southern wisdom?

Imagine getting John Wayne Bobbitt’ed by what’s essentially a dinosaur.  Talk about a bad day

Just got back from target and wondering how it was possible for the entire store to smell like a shit-filled litter box.  Already confirmed in multiple ways that it wasn't anything on me or my shoes trailing along, just the whole god damn store reeked of litter and fresh cat turds

Maybe target reads shithole in cat language?
