Frothing at the mouth

I’m not sure it was a lie, it’s the kind of thing that’s so minor it’s easy for someone on the marketing team to just not know about.

It’s like if a snack company put out a message saying they used no animal products and then later found out that a derivative of beeswax was used to lubricate some of the mechanisms in their packing machine.

If you want to be absolutely inflexible and refuse to allow any exceptions to the rules, no matter the circumstances, that’s fine. But you’ve gotta recognize the irony in that line of reasoning being more machine-like than human.

It’s not really an infection, but compartment syndrome is something that can happen in legs after an injury. Basically internal swelling of the muscles which starts to damage tissue once the pressure gets too high. It causes severe pain, and in some cases can eventually require amputation if left untreated.

The treatment is… brutal. It’s called a fasciotomy and fits well with the setting of pre-modern medicine as it hasn’t really changed much since the 1800’s. Basically, a doctor makes a long, deep cut, almost down your entire leg, until your leg is basically filleted open. Sometimes, multiple of these cuts are needed all around the leg. The cuts must be kept open until pressure is relieved, which can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, at which point they are stuctured up. I would recommend avoiding pictures if you are squeamish.

Teratoma

I’ve often thought about how society might be different if every year or so, we all voted on who was the worst person in the world, and then executed them. Similarly, voting for the worst company in the world and then dissolving it entirely, with executives and board members imprisoned. The absolute worst individuals and companies would have significant societal pressure to avoid being monsters. It wouldn’t even matter if everything they did was legal, it’s just a matter of public opinion.

Unless you want to download it.

I am so sick of survival crafting games. All of them seem like they’re trying to capture some magic that never existed.

Farts in your face

Lol, lmao even.

What a cool percentage that you, again, pulled straight out of your fucking ass.

The irony of saying “Facts are facts” when yours come straight out of your ass and are based entirely on how you feel.

Fact: You have nothing to back up what you’re spouting.

“I don’t have ADHD so everyone must be lying about it!”

Every normal person will use gmail

I mean… She’s not wrong. Individuals privacy minded enough to avoid even basic Google services like Gmail are most definitely NOT the norm. Like, you’re not wrong for avoiding it, but don’t pretend like it’s some common thing that everyone does. You are VERY MUCH in the minority.

It’s basically like saying “every normal person will use Windows or Mac”. Wrong or right, that IS the norm.

From Lemmy or your chronically online bubble? No, you can’t.

In reality? Sure, absolutely.

They’ll get Bill, the 67 year old boat repair man, who spends his free time drinking beer and fishing and still doesn’t really get the whole Internet thing.

They’ll get Maria, the 38 year old administrative assistant who’s only form of media engagement is watching reruns of The Office.

They’ll get Cadence, the 22 year old intern at her family owned business, who dreams of being a Trad wife and has always had her health insurance taken care of by others.

They’ll have Mike, the 32 year old influencer bro, who is all about that grind lifestyle and makes videos on how to invest for his 15k followers.

They’ll get Kathrine, the 72 year old church volunteer who only hangs out with her church friends, watches no TV, and has been living comfortably off her widow benefits for the last 10 years.

None of these people have been following the Luigi saga. Some don’t even know his name. Some firmly believe things haven’t really changed much in the last 30 years and have zero clue as to the struggles people face today.

I just pick at them with my finger while in the shower.

Picking the mineral deposits out of ones that have become clogged is so satisfying.

I’ve heard that claim before. Anyone have a source?

They recently introduced a new format that has, in my opinion, fixed a LOT of the issues that have built up over the years. All cards are now legal (yes, even Pot of Greed) but they have a point cost; decks can only be 100 points. The most broken cards cost all 100 points.

It’s brought a lot of balance to a game that suffered hard from power creep and rules creep.
