Oh yeah. That one caught me off guard as a child. Did not expect to leave that theater crying. 9/10 movie though.

Believing in God and believing the Earth is 8000 years old are not the same thing btw

I used to cook literally every day of the week, but then I started clinical rotations and now I'm working 14-16 hour days 6-7 days a week. I've entirely stopped cooking for myself, even though it was previously my favorite hobby, because there's no fucking way I can fit it into my schedule anymore. Anyone who wants to call me lazy can go fuck themselves, and doubly so for anyone who argues it's my fault for paying exorbitant prices for delivery "because there are alternatives". I don't have the luxury of voting with my wallet and it honestly makes me made whenever I complain about unregulated prices and am told I should just not use the service and instead do X, Y, or Z option that isn't even close to practical for me.

Oh GTFO man. This is a beautiful picture of a mountain, why do you feel the need to turn it into an excuse to shit on other people.

It looks a lot like Whiteside mountain in NC, but idk if there's a river you can kayak on that close to Whiteside.

You know you don't have to kill fish when you go fishing

The "extremist views" I'm talking about is the support for authoritarian regimes that use draconian laws and excessive military force to enforce the law. Tankies often do support the subjugation of people they deem "lesser", but unlike extremist on the far right, they often keep that part quiet.

The fact that you're downplaying the extremity of Tankie talking points is a perfect example of how they are able to normalize their opinions by being allowed a voice in groups where their opinions should be shunned and shamed.

This is a great breakdown of the exact thing I'm talking about.. The video focuses on these tactics and how they are used by the alt-right, but this is not something exclusive to the right and is exactly what tankies are doing on lemmy.

I haven't worked with an AlphaTrack 3 yet, everywhere I've worked still has AlphaTrack 2s because they still work just fine lol.

Shrugging off extremist views as "just a political opinion" that should be ignored if you don't like it is like the #1 way to normalize and spread extremist views. You do not, and should not, politely ignore extremist. Doing so is explicitly allowing and inviting more into your community. Tankies can fuck off and I will continue to say so.

I haven't seen much far right stuff here, but I see toxic far left rhetoric all the time on Lemmy and it's honestly extremely off-putting even as someone who's solidly left of center.

Wow holy shit I'm glad you went to the vet, urinary blockages are a life or death emergency. I'm a senior veterinary student and your description just screames blockage, but I was worried I was late to comment since your post is already a day old!

I've been in vet med for 8 years. The only glucometer that I've ever seen in any hospital (private practice, corporate, and academic) is AlphaTrack. I don't think it's a coincidence that it's been the glucometer of choice across everywhere I've worked and gone to school.

To be clear, I've actually literally never even seen or used another brand of glucometer.
