re: Nuss diagnosed with cyst on spine at NFL Combine, probable cause of his issues

So the combine doctors found something that the LSU doctors didn't?
Medical care in Louisiana (in general, not your specific awesome doctor) is atrocious. Lots of "that's how god made you", lots of telling you not to worry, lots of condescension.
I found just the opposite in Idaho. My favorite doctor was one that allowed me to talk through my concerns and showed me with data why my logic was misguided about an issue.

I can understand a guy sitting in a chair in front of the fitting rooms, playing on his phone. What I don't get is the active participation in picking out and discussing clothes. Maybe I've been missing out?
Do you not like the style of certain things?
My wife tries on clothes and some of them look very nice. Some of them look not as nice. She asks my opinion. I tell her which colors I like. I tell her when I like something, but I'm unsure if it looks good to others. I tell her when clothes accentuate certain parts of her that she may or may not appreciate.
I don't see how that's a crazy thing to imagine if you're present with the person you're shopping with. If you'd rather be doing other things, sure.
Personally I'd be upset if I was with my wife doing something I like, let's say picking out gym equipment, and she was worried about being home watching a TV show or something. I feel like it's only right to try to not make her feel that way and be with her when we are together. It's also easy to do when you actually do want to be with the person.

re: How You Can Stop LSU Administrators from Terminating Alumni Email

I don’t think it’s of little value.
I’d imagine there’s a ton of manpower and costs every year associated with maintaining email addresses from years prior.

re: High IQ ADHD adult diagnosis
Posted by Odysseus32 on 4/16/26 at 7:36 am to Sheepdog1833
I was just diagnosed this past week and prescrbed Concerta.
I was clearly ADHD. And not the quirky, ditzy ADHD where you're a mess and shrug about it. I had organization systems that were crazy because I had to overcompensate. If I fricked with my routine even a little I was screwed.
Every day was misery. I was depressed because I was anxious because I couldn't keep a job. I'd last maybe 2-3 months at a job before I quit. There were a few I was able to keep for a couple years in between, but since I was 16 I've probably had 35-40 jobs, average duration a couple months. Like batshit insane stuff where it's clear I have a real problem.
I'd go into psych appointments depressed because I couldn't keep a job, they always wanted to treat depression. This past month I had an appointment with a psych where I told her I was fed up with getting antidepressants and that I am depressed precisely because I can't stick to anything no matter how hard I try. She prescribed me concerta.
It's really nuts how much I can focus now on things I don't want to do. It doesn't solve all problems, but there's no more mind wandering in conversations that are directly related to my livelihood. I don't daydream about other stuff all day. I can actually start and finish a task. I still don't care for what I am doing for the day, but I'm also not going to lose my salary, so fair trade-off I would say.
Give it a shot, OP.

re: Greensboro PD debuts “Attention Seeker Saturday” on Facebook

Someone screaming "piggy kkk bootlicker" isn't trying to make a valid complaint.
Yes, I agree.
That’s not the point. The point is that the police department is making an example of someone and they choose the line. I think there’s a general reasonable line and the guy in question is being belligerent.
But what about when a reputable schoolteacher is up in arms over something valid and is less than diplomatic in a comment section to voice her unapproval? That’s fine, but what if the PD doesn’t agree? This could turn into an unfair abuse of a platform where the PD know people go to see community news and can be sure that their critics have full visibility. And they get to determine that.
That’s why I said there’s a line here. It’s best to just not do it. They aren’t the arbiters of what speech needs to be exemplified as bad behavior. That’s why we have a structure in place.

There's a line here and they are on it. On one hand the guy is making comments in a public forum and doesn't have a right to how those comments get interpreted or maligned.
On the other, they are public servants and taking criticism is part of the job. This might deter other people who have real complaints from speaking up when it's actually necessary.
I think they shouldn't do this.

re: Trump says the US will begin blockading ships in and out of the Strait of Hormuz

So he went from trying to open the strait to blocking it himself? You can't make this shite up
That's not really what's happening. I hate that I'm defending him.
Imagine a 10 year old blocking the lunchroom. A 16 year old comes in and tells him to move. He says no. The 16 year old rears back to hit him only to realize that the 10 year old has his little sister on his back. The 16 year old can't hit him without hurting the sister, and the 10 year old knows it. So the 10 year old says "tell you what, if you give me your lunch money I'll let you through." The 16 year old isn't going to bow down to a 10 year old and he certainly isn't going to hurt the innocent little sister (until he is about to starve). The 16 year old observes the 10 year old doing this to others as well. So the 16 year old moves further down the hall and blocks everyone going to eat lunch until the 16 year old is let in. The 10 year old can either relent, ceasing their scheme, or they can stay there. Although there's no reason to stay there if there's nothing to be gained.
The real issue is going to be what the 10 year old's older cousin (China) will do about it.

I have been a pretty vocal critic of this presidency. I think it's an overall failure so far. But this is what must be done if they are truly not willing to budge. What they are doing is extortion. The move to extort the biggest and smartest kid in school is a bold one, but I don't think it will work out well.

If we want to talk semantics, the argument can be made that this is untrue. The strait being open needs to be defined. I’d imagine that definition doesn’t include barriers that may or may not exist and are only known by one party.
It’s just silly.
This is a de facto act of extortion. Treat it as such.

She's pandering and yall are eating it up.
There are a very small vocal group of people who think like this. But if you get out and observe more than one stream of media, the majority of folks from all perspectives agree that the trans/woke thing has subsided.
Yet yall are still up in arms over this.
Do yall just want to be pissed off?
