A bubble? In 2025?! Inconceivable!

You read what they wrote correctly, it’s just not true. That’s nothing to do with you.

It’s that a properly administered epidural or spinal anesthesic wouldn’t work that way.

NERDERY INCOMING

An epidural injects a numbing agent just outside of the spinal cord. The intent is to numb the nearby nerves as the anesthetic slowly diffuses into their roots and their corresponding section of spinal cord. It should not go into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

What they’re likely doing is an intrathecal injection for a spinal anesthesic, which does go into the CSF. That intensely numbs a portion of the body and is more common for surgery while conscious. The reason it’s done is it’s very effective while also using extremely small amounts of anesthetic. In other words, you barely feel it locally, much less systemically, because so little is used. That’s the point.

You might ask how I know all of this. I’ve had three. The account in the original post is full of shit.

By force if needed.

You know how abuse produces abusers that perpetuate that abuse? That but on a national level.

This comment made me a hard man.

Depends. The classic dilemma of big, thin, and floppy or short, thick, and stiff.

Wild NECKBEARD appeared!

Go! OBVIOUS JOKE!

Enemy NECKBEARD used PEDANTRY!

It’s not very effective …

OBVIOUS JOKE used HUMOR!

Enemy NECKBEARD fainted!

If he was cremated, he’s black now.

It’s an opinion piece. It’s not uncommon for newspapers to run conflicting opinion pieces.

Ja, they label it as cellulose. Technically true and something that does have valid food manufacturing uses, but using it as filler is ridiculous.

Ass cancer is the price for freedum!

LOL I suspect you give less than zero fucks or this is a clever ploy for Jeffrey Crockett to receive some rather confusing correspondence. Love it either way.

My tuppence worth is Jeffrey or Jeff sounds warmer, softer, and friendlier while Neil sounds cooler (as in less warm), stronger, and classier. Jeff/rey is a fantastic golden retriever. Neil, from the Gaelic Niall, is the cat that sleeps atop your bookcase and occasionally descends to accept your food offerings.

According to Hakeem Jeffries, absolutely nothing.

I think the mistake is assuming they actually hold all of those beliefs.

Have you even argued with someone whose standards constantly shift so they’re always in the right, even when they soon back a position they were criticizing you for earlier in that conversation? That’s because they’re frantically defending another belief, sometimes one they aren’t even aware of themselves, and are either oblivious or unscrupulous enough to not notice or care how they’re doing it.

Far-right movements like the US Republicans are made of the frauds, fascists, and con artists running the show, the low-level grifters and bigots who aspire to one day be them, and the idiots too stupid to see they’re being deceived and swindled.

In their defense, we all try hard to forget that iteration.

Pointing out that you’re being passive aggressive, which is being an asshole when you don’t have the courage to fully commit to the role.

I suspect FitGirl is a morbidly obese 58 year old man with a twisted sense of humor.

I still can’t grasp that Microsoft, a $3.6 trillion company, developed a new settings interface but failed to migrate all settings to it, forcing users to use both. Even I know that’s day one UX shite and I’m quite stupid.

I’ve known a few, the type that traded up on their wives like cars as they got older. All of them were c suite execs.
