Calm down, Satan

Agree with everyone else. It's embarrassing, but it's not like you have to show them what's going on. Just tell them you need to see a doctor for it.

If you're really so uncomfortable telling them about this that you can't bring yourself to do it, then you could try telling them "I need to see a doctor. It's embarrassing, I don't want to discuss it, I just need to make an appointment. I'll handle the scheduling, I just need to know my insurance info* and a ride to the office"

*Or however that works where you are.

If you can reasonably do it, you may just be able to call and schedule it without their help.

Exactly. I mean, the first couple of times you might be able to think of an excuse to explain it, but the 3rd or 4th time they catch you, you're just going to have to come clean

That's interesting! I associate the term with religiosity, but I'm not sure if that's just me or something I was specifically told growing up.

I have the protoarc, and it's awesome. Got it for using with my tablet when I'm stuck in a parking lot (long story) for several hours. Only trouble with it is that the design of the case means you have to use their charger, because the insertable length of the USB c is slightly longer than normal, and the case makes it so a standard USB c won't fit.

I hate having to have multiple chargers, especially proprietary ones, so I took a knife and carved away the plastic around the charging port, and now I can use whatever USB c I want. Just thought I'd mention, because I'm sure it'll void the warranty. Lol

Ive been considering trying to save up for an ebike to use for the purposes of getting into shape. I'm too damn fat anymore to pedal myself up a hill (and it's nothing but hills here), but if I could get a bike to take to some of the bike paths in a nearby city, maybe I could slowly work up to it and use the motor when I just can't. That, or a stationary bike until I can make it to the point of being able to do it outside. Lol.

Iunno, I just know I loved riding back in the day, and I'd like to not keel over

I genuinely wish I could ride a bike where I live :( I'm not in good enough shape to ride for 10 miles, but even if I were, there are no safe ways to ride a bike around here. There's no shoulders, blind hills and curves, no sidewalks, not shit. The road I live off of is the main way other than the interstate that connects two towns, and at least once or twice a month some homeless person walking or riding their bike on that road gets hit by a car. A guy died a few months ago. If I lived somewhere where I could ride a bike, I absolutely would. Healthier for me personally, better for the environment. I used to love riding my bike when I lived in a bikable city, but shitty semi rural Appalachia gives no shits about pedestrian or cyclist safety

Saw this the other day on prime:

Had to screenshot

Do y'all really have trouble cutting bagels, or is this one of those things everyone just sort of claims as a running gag or, like, memetic knowledge? Sometimes one side is a little thicker than the other, but mostly I have no trouble cutting bagels. Could be because I grew up eating a lot of bagels, and learned young?

That's such lunacy. Just because your denomination is different doesn't mean it has a monopoly on the religion. Catholics have that same vibe to me, just not as weird about it.

Me, too. My mom had to use one of those for years and years before insurance would cover a real powerchair. They're very prone to tipping, and with her almost complete lack of a hip joint, it's a wonder she didn't irreparably injure herself on it

What's the black line for?

Used to live very near there, have passed that sign countless times. Feels weird seeing it again after 15 years, in a meme of all things

Thing is, though, anti catholicism runs deep among the evangelical crowd. This is, as far as the mega (maga) church crowd is concerned, a ringing fucking endorsement of Trump.

science fiction for now

Just think, it won't be long until now until the tech bros implant chips in us, and then governments can use them to determine our loyalty to our Great Nations and Fearless Leaders! It will be a glorious time for unity among our people, I'm sure.

original paper

As a non sports ball enjoyer I'm curious, why is this is not a bad thing? Like, I have no dog in this fight. I don't dislike football or any other sport, I've just never found any joy in watching sports on TV. Occasionally it's fun to go to a game, and it's very fun to participate in one (never played football, but have played baseball, softball, kickball, and played soccer twice), but watching it on TV has never been fun for me. So, as someone (I assume) who enjoys watching a game on TV, why/why not is a chart like above not demonstrating a negative? I've never really been able to pinpoint why I don't enjoy watching sports, and when I saw the chart my first thought was "oh, is that why I don't like watching football?"

DM me? I'd love to meet a fellow lemming!

I've met a few from the tri cities area on here

It's not good food... :(

Same thing I thought lol

Show off. Lol. But thank you for blurring it out. How'd you get it? What, what narrowed the search?
