The dog meat sellers in China are answering widespread criticism by saying that the dogs are killed humanely and that this has been practiced for hundreds of years… Don’t those ridiculous arguments sound awfully familiar, carnists?
In the USA, it’s 100x cheaper to take an Uber to the hospital instead of an ambulance.
I don’t know if this is true or.. Like, having to pay for an ambulance that is taking you to the hospital? That doesn’t make any sense. What kind of distopian world is that?
It costs thousands of dollars to ride in an ambulance
In America some people with chronic health conditions like epilepsy literally have to wear medical IDs that say “don’t call an ambulance/911”. Some well-meaning person calling an ambulance for you will turn into a thousand (or couple thousand) dollars that YOU are on the hook for, even though you didn’t make the call. So, PSA: if you see someone having a seizure, look for a medical ID! You should only call an ambulance if: the person is elderly, pregnant, or the seizure lasts more than 4 minutes. Otherwise, wait for the seizure to pass, then ask the person if they want an ambulance when they regain consciousness.
wtf
Oh my god what.
Here in Quebec, if you call an ambulance for something they deem non-emergency, you get a bill later for like $180. But if it’s anything like a loss of consciousness, chest pains, labour, whatever, or if you’re in a public place and a a well-meaning samaritan calls 911, it’s paid for by the government.
Seriously, everything about healthcare in the US makes me want to cry.
Imagine a world where you have to wear tags to tell people trying to help you that “It’s ok, don’t try to help, I can’t afford to pay if someone tries to save my life. I’ll just take my chances and hope it’s not life-threatening.”
literally what the fuck why is one of the arguments ‘here we only have to pay THIS much for it’
I’m very glad that movies like Pacific Rim and Fury Road and The Force Awakens are as colorful as they are, because I am really, really tired of desaturated movies.
I’m glad <insert movie> has blacks people because if it didn’t meet my arbitrary percentage standard I might just have to call someone a bigot
………you’re an ugly racist, but this is literally talking about the color palette the films used, not who is acting in them.
“I like the film aesthetics of this movie” “Wow what is this some kind of SJW bullshit??”
“I like colours lads” “FUCKING POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD”
they italicized the world colorful so people would get confused, common troll post.
I aw Goody Proctor use italics
I wasn’t confused…if you know anything about movies it’s pretty obvious they’re talking about actual colours, as in the electromagnetic spectrum of light…
I love this though. It’s a legit “what is this sjw bullshit!” moment come to life lol
I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and
a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was
granted to take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one
another; and a great sword was given to him.
I looked, and behold, a black horse; and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And
I heard something like a voice (…) saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of
barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine.”
I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name
Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them
over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with
pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.
i literally procrastinate talking to my friends like it hits me “oh shit i havent talked to that friend in a while” and im like “yeah ill have to do that later” and then i dont
then i feel really guilty about it and [AVOIDANCE INTENSIFIES]
Then it’s like a month later, and I’m just sitting there like, if I never speak to them maybe they’ll just forget I ever existed.
Periodic reminder when this kind of post comes up that being my friend means never having to say “sorry i dropped off the face of the earth for a few weeks/months/years” there. I get it. I promise. I vanish sometimes too and then get all avoidant about it. I’ll understand if you need to do the same, and I’ll be here when you come back. Team Weird Avoidant People Who Are Sort of Terrible At Friendship But Trying Really Hard needs to stick together.
