My experience with UTIs was when I was younger and didn’t understand that no matter how good cuddling is after sex, your have to get up and go pee. Learnt that lesson a few times the hard way.
But my understanding is that UTIs are a very real problem for the elderly and can have other impacts on their physical and mental health, that they may be less equipped to voice. This may be a game changer.
I have to say, the conversations in this thread are both fascinating and informative, while being emblematic of the confusion division the question posed.
I find religion very interesting because it’s intertwined with history, but in terms of living, atheism is so much easier.
I feel for him, and for his mother who gave up her seat so he could go. Fuck the billionaires but he was 19 - I can’t feel any humour about his death, or for what this must’ve done to his mother.
I’m sure the others had family members too who have gone through hell while the world laughed.
We can have compassion for those people while still shrugging at the stupidity of the willing dead.
Where I live, the winters get very cold. Not like Canada cold, but cold by my country’s standards - think a top of 9°c during the day. My city also has an odd culture where no one remembers how cold it gets, given our summers are so hot, so we’re all left confused and freezing come winter - no one has proper clothes for it. It’s like a citywide, seasonal amnesia.
That was certainly the case when I was in highschool 20 years ago. At lunch/recess time, the only time students were allowed inside the building was if it was raining. I understand that this was for the teacher to student ratio of supervision. Everyone outside or everyone inside - much easier to manage.
But it meant that every time it got really, really cold, half the student class would go inside to huddle against the radiators to keep warm. Periodically a teacher would come in and kick us out. You’d repeat this process a few times over recess/lunch.
So while it wasn’t a stupid rule, given I understand the teachers need to not be spread too thin, it was also ridiculous to expect kids to hang around outside in the freezing cold, in a place where people act like wearing a beanie is being dramatic.
I mean we were highschool kids so we dressed ourselves. No one had proper coats. From what I’ve seen driving past schools, they still don’t. It’s a very specific form of temperature denial we have here.
I think Abe walks into a strip club (gentleman’s club? Brothel?), removes his hat, sees Bart sitting in there, turns on his heel, dons his hat and walks out the door - all in one smooth motion.
If someone suddenly attacks me with a pocket knife, for example, they’ll most likely immediately go right for my belly, since I am 6’5" tall, and stab or rip it open. Therefore, I’m curious how fatal and painful such a wound is?
I don’t want to advocate for abstinence-based education, but I do think OP should try and avoid gut-stabbings, especially given his…checks notes… height (?)
Ohhhh you’re one of those guys. Have you ever considered that people, especially those who have made it into their mid-30s, especially women, make choices that have nothing to do with putting on a show for anyone else?
It’ll change your world if you realise that once you’re a certain age (the younger the better) you don’t actually care whether people think you’re ‘cool’ - an ever-changing something that’s only meaningful to people in highschool.
