It's not really a lie but percent based metrics can be very misleading. Tbh, most data can be misleading if interpreted by someone ignorant or malicious (or a journalist). In this specific case it's a completely pointless metric that means nothing.
yes
It's impossible to tell anything from pictures alone. Maybe cellulitis (a bacterial infection of the skin that causes heat, swelling, itching and pain, usually but not always secondary to some kind of injury) which is treatable with antibiotics. Unless you have a fever and are generally feeling sick it's certainly not "septic". If you are generally sick you should be going to the ER not posting it online. Go to urgent care and have them take a look before it gets worse.
Just because you want to do it does not mean you're going to be capable. Using your doctor example, by the time they hit that bottleneck where this becomes an issue you're already dealing with a massive academic attrition rate, even among those who can afford it. We have the facilities to train doctors and are in desperate need of more. Opening this up to qualified but poorer candidates would increase the odds of getting people who can actually graduate and practice rather than drown in debt.
Not a dietician or qualified to give diet advice, but I found that when I went below 1500Kcal for too long I hit a hard plateau. For me couple days of higher cal meals (maybe +200, not really an insanely high number) with very high protein helped break through. I started around 104 kg in October 2024, now at 87 kg as of this morning. 22 more to go to hit my goal. I'm cheering for you.
It's only a crime if you're poor, just like everything else in the US
First mistake or not, the frustration is understandable but the aggressively rude attitude is not. There are many more mature ways to communicate frustration that might actually get the situation resolved. She's just getting back the energy she's throwing off. Could the guy have been more professional, certainly, but meeting this type of creature with anything other than condescension is just encouraging their crap at this point.
The headline is focusing on his weight because that's the part the park hopes to use to get this thrown out. In reality this kind of thing could happen to anyone and any weight if you're not holding onto your tube. We see videos of it happening regularly and usually laugh. It's not an isolated thing that is in any way related to his weight. Was the crash landing probably more painful for this person? Sure, but if the ride is designed to make you catch air you should expect that.
You mean like the objective reporting and unbiased, fact-based journalism the US itself enjoys? /sI honestly can't tell if your post is sarcasm or not, but if you think that what we have is unbiased journalism you're dreaming.
The velvet that helps them grow is vascular, so when that peels off it looks pretty horrifying and leaves their antlers coated in blood. That one probably isn't even that fresh. Do a search for moose antlers shedding. The fresh ones look like something out of a horror movie.
Looks perfectly standard for working anywhere retail. You don't get to check yourself out at the register or prep your own stuff, or by distressed merchandise so you can't take advantage by putting in the wrong prices, making things special, or marking stuff down for you to buy. Not sure why you'd think you'd be denied your discount.
The protective layer of salt and dark humor keeps the nightmares at bay
Also whoever wrote this is a POS. You don't treat your soldiers like that if you want them to not make your life hell. Looks like it was written by some a-hole training NCO with delusions of grandeur. I've had a blast slapping them back down for attempting to deny medical care because they think they have enough rockers to step up to the med corps. Jackasses like this are why we have so many chronically injured soldiers that have never even been deployed.
As a former medic, we used to screen out malingering pretty fast. You come in with some BS and we'd toss you out asap. Conservative treatment is one thing but we can spot a liar a mile away. People with any history of malingering quickly learned that they had a very hard time being treated for anything, even if it was legit, cause medics are petty, merciless, and don't like our time wasted. While deployed we saw very little of it b/c you couldn't deploy if you couldn't work.
So you don't have to hear grandma's guilt trip

Seeing some of these comments i really feel like it needs to be stated: This is for Veterans. If you're not a veteran then you're not likely to get it. Whatever opinion you have on bullets and grenades and whatever is fine, but this isn't for you. Combat veterans especially have a really jacked up and dark sense of humor on the best of days and talking to people who get it is a very important part of getting them to open up. That's the point here. These people get it. Most of you do not.
The flag is that way because that's how it's worn on uniforms. The stars and bars are trailing to symbolize that the wearer is advancing with the flag blowing out behind them.
The US army still uses something very similar to this. It's just a modular version with one stick that snaps together like those carbon fiber tent poles. It's horrible to use but better than the alternative. https://www.faretec.com/product-page/ct-6-leg-traction-splint
That was a visual i really didn't need. Take your +1 and pass the brain bleach
Imagine growing up with parents you could confide in. Sounds like an absolute fairy tale.
It's like a security blanket for introverts
I still wear it so i don't have to put on anything more than eye makeup or pretend to smile and look interested when people talk to me
Please, Jawas are useful. He's three Ewoks.
As someone who works retail- we're tired of being yelled at and threatened. We've had people shot over this.
