I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.
Not exactly. Just a fun fact and disclaimer that I use generics if at all possible. But my pharmacology class taught that generics can have higher tolerance of error in % of active ingredient. Not usually a big deal unless the drug has a very narrow therapeutic range, meaning too little doesn’t work and too much will harm you. 99.9% of generics is fine. But if you ever wonder if one batch of your med doesn’t seem to work as well this it’s likely that batch was on the lower end of acceptable.
I know he is on the other team, politically speaking, but listening to Republicans talk you would think he is the anti Christ. What has Biden done to make the Republicans hate him more than any other Democrat?
Have first hand knowledge of this question. 1. He’s a democrat. A large portion of the Republican Party has been taught to hate the other side and anything they do is evil. And if they happen to do anything good it’s a scheme or some sort. I grew up with this propaganda. Starts with Rush Limbaugh “liberals lie” and has seeped further and further into R consciousness. Very sad.
like I went to taco bell and they didn’t even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don’t get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.
When you read up on U.S. political basics, you can’t help but come across the detail that many of the people in cities in the U.S. seem to lean left, yet what isn’t as clear is why and what influences their concentration in cities/urban areas....
This is the correct answer from my observation and personal experience. Get educated and move to your dream job which is probably in a city. Leave behind the religious and conservative echo chamber.
Really like this answer. Agree. Reality has a liberal bias. Religion and wishing for a return to rose colored past times is foundation of conservatives I know.
That being said I do know a well educated folks with many letters behind their name that drink conservative kool-aid. But my thoughts are that some advanced education pursuits do not require critical thinking.
USA here. Grew up wearing shoes all over the house. Even in carpet, etc. one out of a dozen friends will have a house rule no shoes in the house or on the carpet. Those people are weirdos 😉 edit. I do wear shoes on my bed or couch. Wouldn’t place on my pillow or my head area.
18-21 is very common here in the South. I haven’t heard of younger personally. But I’m not rural. Know of some towns very religious and inbred, I’m sure it’s happening there.
Grew up here thinking all this is normal. Trump opened my eyes to our crazy country. Now I’m a bit of a black sheep of the family. Enjoying all of your responses. Just bought my first European car recently. Hope to go back soon.
My lower back has been absolutely killing me today. Does anyone know of any remedies I could try to address it? I'm trying an ice pack and fixing my sitting posture right now, will be sleeping on my side to relieve pressure on it tonight, but is there anything else I could attempt?
For non traumatic low back pain you can try ice, lidocaine patches, NSAIDs and stretching. It still may bug you for a week or more. For long term need to implement some exercises.
Quad/hamstring stretches are vital. And can give good relief.
Also. Avoid heat and aggressive stretching/exercise early on. It may feel a bit better for the moment but can make inflammation/pain worse or last longer
You should see a doctor and get XR if you experience worsening symptoms or numbness/tingling.

What is something like a hobby or skill that you belive almost anybody should give a try, and what makes your suggestion so good compared to other things?...
Wood working. Can fix things and build things. It’s very rewarding. Can find second hand tools and slowly build your collection and upgrade them as you develop and hone your skills until your wife surprises you at home with your closest friends and family and they proceed to tell you that you have a problem and have to decide between investing time and energy into a living family or your woodworking hobby.

What has Biden done to make Republicans hate him so much? Besides being a Democrat

Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?
