We were at my in-laws Friday and watched the entire USA - England match. None of us are huge soccer fans but we felt like it was the patriotic thing to do. We kept asking "how much longer?" It was painfully boring for us non-soccer fans.

Is this not correct?

I’d love to be an apologist for pitbulls but I don’t ever see it happening. They are objectively more dangerous animals to own for both owners and other people. Talk all this game about bias and fallacy and provide 0 sources.

I feel like there are just as many bullshit pit lover studies as there may be skewed pit hater studies regardless. I found a lot of both.

I’m finding out the hard way that shit can come back aggressively. My friend just recently got diagnosed with metasticized cancer all over his body after just having a pet scan in July with 0 evidence of tumors. He had been following up for years prior to that with 0 problems. I had no idea that shit could turn so quick.

I suspect that a lot of times, people have symptoms that they just talk themselves out of worrying over. Sort of the opposite of hypochondria.

A co-worker I used to have talked about how every year, his birthday present to himself was to get a physical and go for every screening that his doctor recommended, because he loved his life so much that he didn't want to ever be caught by surprise. It was the most positive, life-affirming way I've ever heard to talk yourself into seeing a doctor, and I've adopted it since I hit my mid-40s and needed a reality check over getting "old."

You’re already getting a tip where you head but get a heating pad in the meantime. Just had one last month and it helped immensely compared to ones I had in the past. Best of luck kidney stone bro/sis.
