gordan ramsey said this on kitchen nightmares and it blew me away so i took a screenshot but amazon prime app censored me and handed me this work of art

i thot this was from evangelion

having heartburn so frequently that my dr decided to medicate me for it has a silver lining in that now when i forget to take my depression meds i get a reminder in the form of acid eating my esophagus because I take them at the same time

I did not expect this post to be relatable but LETS GOOOOO ACID REFLUX GANG

OK BUT THIS FOR REAL like if youre reading this and u get heartburn on the reg that is NOT NORMAL AND REALLY BAD FOR YOU and TUMS ARENT GOING TO CUT IT. Talk to ur doctor if you can please.

Abt two years ago the chest pain I'd been feeling started to get worse, and scary. The entire front of my ribcage ached like it was bruised. I wondered if I had an infection. If something was wrong with my bones. Or my heart. I called my Drs office, they said to go to the hospital. So I did! They didn't find anything wrong with me (besides elevated calcium due to all the tums I was eating) but sent me to a Gastro, who prescribed me heartburn medication.

That scary pain? GONE. I dont get it any more. I had it for YEARS. It was SCARY. It didn't FEEL like heartburn, I never would have guessed my heartburn was inflaming my WHOLE chest and making my fuckin BONES hurt.

can confirm, after years of going through Tums like tissue paper - at least a decade here - I finally had an endoscopy (doctors shoving a camera on a tube down your throat to see what's goin on in there) and turns out my acid reflux was so horrible I had severe burns from stomach acid all up and down my throat/esophagus - they said not the *worst* they'd seen, but pretty up there. now I'm on a med that combats it and I haven't needed to chow down rolaids like candy in like three years now. my throat doesn't burn 24/7 now. I don't feel like acid is bubbling up to my mouth every time I try to speak anymore. It's fucking fantastic!

I'm begging anyone that has issues with this kind of stuff to find a gastroenterologist on your insurance (I'm on medicare and the closest one was twenty minutes away, and my visit only cost a 25USD co-pay) - the last thing you need is to be treated for a hole in your throat from the chemical burns some of this can lead to. You deserve to not live in pain all the time.

this is what i was just talking about actually, if The Miss France, the elected Woman Of The Year for the Entire State of France cannot perform woman correctly enough for the gender police then none of us can, the mild oppression of "short haircut causes international discussion" exists on the EXACT same axis as "trans people killed for existing" its the same exact machine at work

"Any belief system based on exclusion is bound to fail"

Mihai's razor

It KEEPS being true. It KEEPS being true. Do not listen to people who say they ONLY want to exclude "some" people. Those some people will eventually be YOU

i think “video games aren’t really the violent child-corrupting threat some parents worry they are” and “certain circles of gamer culture are incredibly toxic and can lead people down dangerous/hateful ideological rabbit holes” are ideas that can absolutely coexist

when did I add this picture

I am a chronic turn signaller. People will be like “there’s no cars around.” Wrong, I’m

1. letting pedestrians know.

2. I’m doing this in case I missed a car or person somewhere, or

2b. I’m gonna be stuck at this intersection til a car or person shows up

3. It makes it a habit

Tragedy! You set out to read a negative review of a piece of media you dislike, only to find that the critic is being completely unfair to it and making a bunch of bad, unsupportable arguments.

#yeah. this is actually the worst#because if someone likes something for the wrong reasons and you like it too you can just sort of shrug off their opinion#but if they dislike it in a way that's unfair it's actually infuriating because now you've been put in the position#of defending this absolute dogshit piece of media - even if only in your own head - against their unreasonable complaints#it's the exact opposite of catharsis

Me: “Disney live action remakes are soulless cash grabs that deny the original writers and artists the credit they deserve” Some fucking chud: “Exactly! They never should have started wokeifying all their movies” Me:

The bust of a middle aged man made out of butter was sitting on my bathroom counter. It turned and began to scream at me, but the scream was utterly silent. Everything was so silent. I was so frightened of the butter bust.

Fun fact! Butter busts exist! In real life!!

THIS IS A NIGHTMARE FACT AND NOT A FUN FACT

This one felt fitting

It's still kinda wild how Phineas and Ferb managed to completely hijack an idiom. Now whenever someone hears a sentence leading with "If I had a nickel for everytime [...]", odds are their brain auto fills with "I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice," rather than "I'd be rich," or "I could [action that requires purchasing something requiring an obscene amount of money]". Y'know, what the idiom originally was

the thing is, the phineas and ferb version is just so much funnier and more actually applicable

original idiom is "anything that happens a lot"

p&f version is "weirdly specific thing that happens more times than would really make sense"

u ever see someone with extremely fucked up views (or actions) and think wowww if a couple of things in my life went the tiniest bit differently that would have been me

I think most people would benefit from reflecting on how this might be true for them

Sometimes people bitch about media, both fiction and nonfiction, that they think "humanizes" bad people, especially bigots fascists Nazis et cetera. And I'm just like. Hey. Hey. The problem is. They ARE human. HUMANS did that. Your next door neighbor could do that. Your grandma could do that. You could do that.

"No I'm a good person" why? Because you've gotten lucky and not seen propaganda yet that perfectly hit your buttons? Because you had people to correct you when you fucked up? Idk man I don't think we're all so different from the bad people. We're all just people.

Reminding ourselves of our shared humanity with terrible people does NOT serve to justify their actions. It serves to remind us that the seeds of what happened to them could get into us as well, or might already have. It reminds us to be vigilant and interrogate the hatred inside us.

If you convince yourself that you're just an Inherently Good Person who would never believe hateful things well. Now any little hateful thing that makes its way inside you undetected is never going to be interrogated. It will be left to grow undisturbed.

If you remember that those things can get into anyone, you know to look out for them, and weed them out when they appear, and take the criticism when others point them out in you. So remember, that could have been you. If you forget, maybe it will be.

this is a joke with no audience but I really wish there was a Wii U game that told you to look at the gamepad but then the gamepad just said "psyche" while simultaneously an enemy on the TV screen attacked you
