My dad grew up in NYC and when he was a kid in the 50s a doctor saved his life by coming to their apartment in the middle of the night. My dad’s family were super poor and couldn’t pay the doctor, so I guess it really depends on the kindness of the doctor.

Omg we are such opposites. I grew up in FL and 60sF (15C) is winter for us. Like people will straight up wear jackets in the 60s. I love weather in the 80sF (26C), 90sF (32C) is bearable, but 100sF (37C) is horrible and stay inside as much as possible.

I agree completely because it’s super confusing for most women to find the right bra. Which then leads to women wearing the wrong size and feeling uncomfortable.

Breast size has no affect on breast feeding. Any sources to back up your claim?

This graph is useless because cup size ≠ breast size. Cup and band sizes go together to fit the person. A 34D is way smaller than a 40D even though they are the same cup size. Without the band size we have no idea what the real difference is. This video explains it pretty well: https://youtu.be/L9JZzPMHok8

Omg thank you for this!!! I never understood when whom would ever be used!!

As an old person who plays Genshin Impact, the “character banners” are 100% loot boxes. They have a pity system which guarantees a five star character after 100 “wishes” but even then it may not be the character you wanted. You might have to “wish” up to 200 times to get the five star character you are “wishing” for on the banner. Since you are not buying the character out right and gambling to get them it’s a loot box.

For anyone who doesn’t play “character banners” are a limited run (3 weeks) of a five star character that you can only get from the banner. “Wishes” are like rolls for the character. Each wish you lose gives you either a weapon (3 star/practically useless in game) and every 10 wishes gurantees a four star weapon or four star character.

I was about to roll my eyes and scroll past your comment but then I read “powdered wig”. I was committed to read it all when I saw “smoothbore”. The “tally ho lads” was hilarious. Great job all the way through!

This would be a great short story if for some reason the AI didn’t realize there was going to be a date issue and didn’t properly update itself causing it to crash. Then the problem is it was self sufficient for so long no humans know how to restart it or fix the issue, causing society to have a technology blackout for the first time in centuries.

The retirement community my elderly uncle lived in worked with a local hospital that would schedule all the appointments for the same day, around the same time. They had almost every specialty in the same building so the residents could see the various doctors they needed. But if you had your own doctor at a separate place, you could schedule it ahead of time and they would drive you there. However this was a high-end community that cost a lot, so I’m sure if cheaper places would offer the same options.

I always say “Digiorno!” when I see him.

I think the problem is the girl not you. If you asked her politely, she said no, and then you backed down, there is no reason for her to bad mouth you to friends. I could understand maybe asking one trusted person for advice but spreading rumors through a friend group is a serious issue. Not just the girl but also the friends spreading the rumor. I think a lot of people are really bad at communicating and it leads to more issues. If she had simply talked to you about how she felt, I’m sure you both could have worked through it.

We used to watch the reruns as kids. When we would fly, we begged our parents for a seat near the wings so we could look for the gorilla.

The dog’s cute little teeth!

I like to think uncanny valley exists because of other homo species we would have interacted with in pre-history. Obviously this is just a fun theory since we have evidence of mixing.
