  • We’re a larger melting pot. In fact, that’s kind of our schtick. In spite of the racial shit, it swings entirely the other way as well. It’s a big country. England doesn’t cover a lot of surface area. 68million vs 341.5million.

    Regionally there’s dialect nuance based on immigration. We’re a country of immigrants. If we’re discussing Poland then let’s talk Wisconsin. You can’t throw a stick in any direction without hitting a “ski” last name. People actually say shit like “borrow me your car Friday” or “borrow me a pencil”, instead of “lend”. My understanding is borrow and lend are the same word in Polish, context telling you what you need to know. All without identifying as Polish, just Midwest American, as far as I can tell. Even though we’re younger as a country, we’ve had time for that to happen.



  • It means OBGYN care in general is taking a giant nose dive. People don’t understand the terminology. “Abortion” is a medical procedure. Terminate a pregnancy: abortion. Expedite a miscarriage so mom doesn’t bleed to death: abortion. Remove a dead baby from the womb so a carcass doesn’t rot inside mom: abortion in the third trimester.

    It’s all the same in a medical chart because medicine doesn’t make religious-political distinctions in their procedures, they’re just procedures.

    Medical care should be private for no other reason than to keep this crap out of health care. Isn’t privacy what HIPAA was supposed to be about?

    How do you even reconcile some of these state abortion laws with HIPAA, which is federal? Isn’t federal supposed to override state?



  • I like meat too, but this is silly. Just had roast chicken yesterday. I also have a freezer with two door shelves lined with tubes of Impossible Sausage. It’s a pretty damn good “sausage”, and without those hard/random bits of gristle you’ll encounter with the real thing. Think there’s some Quorn chicken nuggets in there too. Just buy as you like.

    And soy was a lovely mitigator for menopausal hot flashes. Dosed myself with soy on the daily for those weeks, no flashes (awful random surges of heat, head to toes, such that you sweat into your hair, behind your knees, awful.) Miss a day, hot flashes. Although, when you think on it, this fits with Florida, really. Fuck women’s health, amiright?
