you don't see this as much now but some old-school feminists spell women "wimmin" and as much as I am politically on their side that always made me think of Popeye.

i'm pretty sure there would be an equal outpouring of money if the pyramids were damaged.

Unless it somehow stops being one of the greatest cultural sites of Christianity, it'll get the money the money to maintain it and plenty more.

Was it hurting for funds before the fire then?

Started T? My friend turned into a horny bastard and lost the ability to produce tears. We laugh about it now and he's on much less so things are more balanced but man it was a wild ride.

This is really stupid, but I can’t blow raspberries and I’m weirdly annoyed by it. I went to visit my friend and her baby loves it when people blow raspberries, but I couldn’t do it. I ended up spitting instead and the baby just stared at me with this WTF face while my friend laughed.

This is not a knock on your weight at all, but frequent urination can be a sign of diabetes. It can also be a sign of kidney problems, as you mentioned.

You can be upset about more than one thing!

Yeah. Or the Great Wall or Machu Picchu something.

I think it's more about being a popular tourist destination that the average person is familiar with. The fact of the matter is, the average English-speaking person doesn't know about, let alone have a personal connection with, that museum in Brazil or other landmarks. I wouldn't expect them to, as much as I wish we would effectively and financially treat these disasters very similarly.

When I actually think about it, like the mechanics of it, it's harder to do. But now I'm kind of wondering what's causing your issue.

I don't know. I don't hate the show, but there's a lot about it I really don't find very funny. It hits the wrong notes of awkward/secondhand embarrassment humor for me and some of the jokes seem really behind the times... like that one.

Sure, because there's no offensive or tone deaf media being made in modern times, right?

AYRT—I’m worried it might be type 2 diabetes; I didn’t know until my mom died two years ago that while she didn’t have it, her mom and her mom’s mom both did. I think Kaiser actually borked my blood sugar test results last time I had one; they’d told me to fast, and I did, and then when I got the results back they were marked as non-fasting blood sugar, when I’d last eaten, idk, 18 hours ago or something.

Also, PCOS is a risk factor for type 2, and when I was 19 I suddenly grew massive amounts of black body and facial hair and gained a ton of weight while having the worst depressive episode of my life and not being able to keep food down for a couple months. I’d hit puberty at 11 and was always hairy with an irregular period, but that frightened the hell out of me. I didn’t have insurance at the time.

When I finally got coverage, I asked my doctor and he said “oh yeah, PCOS is caused by the hormones in dairy and the chemicals in processed food. Stop eating processed food, exercise more, and cut out dairy, and it will go away.”

He was ostensibly a regular doctor, not a naturopathic quack. I know specialized diets and exercise can be part of a PCOS treatment plan, but see above re: my typical dietary habits and exercise regime.

I did cut out all sugar except for fruit (no fruit juice, dried fruit, agave nectar, honey, etc, either) for all of January, but not white flour. It didn’t seem to make any difference, so I went back to eating sweets sometimes. I suppose a true blood sugar control diet would involve cutting any quickly digestible carbs and also regular blood sugar checks.

I have good insurance, but with US healthcare being a shitshow, and Resident Chump and his goons itching to ditch pre-existing conditions, and insulin prices climbing like sherpas scaling Everest, I really hope it’s not diabetes.

NAYRT Sorta. The cathedral was undergoing repairs before the fire and they were having trouble raising money for it.

This.

Not even slightly a hypothetical idea in the specific context of this show

Not sure, but when my friend tried teaching me to blow a raspberry and explained what you’re supposed to do with your tongue and all that, it reminded me of some speech therapy I had when I was little because I couldn’t roll my Rs (Spanish is my native language), so now I’m wondering if it’s tied to that since I never mastered that R sound.

Yeah, I'll take Michael Sheen over skinny twink Aziraphale any day... though I do hope to still see more personalized takes. I know I've taken to sketching the TV versions of them as well, but like... I also still have my own version, so to speak.

Honestly I'm just excited for new stuff, but I get you.

Same! My sister and I are both disabled, and we absolutely do the whole awkward high-pitched 'Leg disabled??' thing on days that require more mobility aid than usual?

It's 5AM and I'm awake, what the hell insomnia. I'll have to get up tomorrow at 4AM to catch a train, but before that I still have a full day of work ahead of me. Oh I'll be a mess later today at work, and I was planning to go out tonight with friends: guess not...

That sucks, Anon, so sorry. Definitely make a point of telling the doc about your diet and exercise choices and if you're in pain and throwing up *go to the ER*!!

I know doctors and their weight bullshite, and unfortunately, you just have to be really firm, really pushy, really *precise* about what you will and won't take from them. Backhanded crap about your weight and blowing off your symptoms are just not acceptable, but sadly, you have to be pretty in their face (in a not cursing and throwing tongue depressors kind of way) to get them to *get it*.

Good luck! Be well.

Fuck men.

I can't. that's the problem.

Well, I can't roll my Rs at all but I can still blow raspberries, so I'm not sure they're connected?

Seriously? I guess just about anything has someone who finds it sexy.
