@@Benjamin1986980yeah I agree. I was confused about the “too cold” comment since I have an oxygen concentrator in my room and after running for 45 mins the room is a friggin sauna. I already decided if I have the choice between no treatment and say 1 year or treatment that makes me miserable and 2 years then I’d take less time easily. I hate when people are anti euthanasia when they would never let a pet suffer in a similar situation without calling it abusive. It’s always extending life regardless of the cost physically, mentally, and also monetarily. Like running a full code on your 93 year old grandma in organ failure because “she’s a fighter”. So now grandma has 5 broken ribs and has machines keeping her “alive”. What kind of life is that? People refuse to accept death and that it is natural… just because you CAN keep someone alive doesn’t mean that you SHOULD keep them alive.

How do you even do that for 3 years man

@@sankalppatidar4975 How do you even do that once, at all? Like the blind speedruns thing, there would have to be all these setups.

IME old people KNOW that doing stuff like this is wrong, that is why they dont tell anyone or talk about it. if they didnt know it was wrong they wouldn't be ashamed to admit it. however the older people get the more they seem to revert to a toddler-like state where they are really only concerned about themselves and maybe family, so them wanting to be independent and still take care of themselves ends up trumping any consideration for other people's safety. I told my dad for years to get my lunatic grandpa off the road - he would drive well under the speed limit on highways, half in and out of the emergency lane for some unknown reason without allowing anyone to pass him. I told him that I thought he was showing signs of dementia. My dad said I was being dramatic, until he got in the car with my grandpa and he started driving the wrong way on a 45MPH road because "oh well it was just for a little bit" even though they were driving directly towards rapidly approaching traffic. This was about 5 years AFTER I warned my dad the first time about his driving. Terrifying to imagine what other insane driving maneuvers he did during that time, especially considering he was also an alcoholic. anyways this is why I firmly believe that after a certain age, maybe like after a certain average of people start showing signs of dementia, they should make people come back in for driving tests and vision tests at the DMV more often like they do for teenagers. the risk is just too much tbh. plus it would probably cut down alot on "silver alerts" where old people forget where they are and go missing.

Like how would that possibly work? Even if you know the timing of the turns and everything are there no freaking stop lights? Or other cars? Can he /kind/ of see blurry stuff but not really, but /couldn't/ see the tent?

@@MindCaged Chances are his vision didn't decline to that severity instantly, he had time to gradually adapt to driving with worsening vision until it got to the point it was too poor to rely more on memory than his limited visibility. Another point towards figuring out a means of testing licensed road users for their suitability to stay on the road as they age. As an aside, an old neighbour of mine has/had some significant breathing issues he was in strong denial over. He would often faint when doing house work and when sleeping his snoring was so bad he would wake up every half an hour or so gasping and groaning, yet up until the point he moved he was driving daily, would claim that other than being a 'little' over weight he was in perfect health, despite obviously being significantly over weight and having to wrestle his belly under the steering wheel getting in his car. If he hasn't already, I'm certain he'll die in his car, I just hope he doesn't take out other people with him.

I absolutely agree

Yes but he got told not to do that and did what a professional told him to do, maybe a little stupid but he shure is one of the better ones here.

No, that’s just the nuts and those who were not taught properly by a good church/place of faith. Many take the Bible too literal or don’t read full context of the Bible teachings. It says God will provide, but also says God said he wouldn’t directly perform miracles like he used to, but would always be there. It also says to help others and such. Yet they forget that means others helping them is also a sign of God, as love is a sign of God being there. Like, it’s similar to how people say God doesn’t support divorce or going against parents when it clearly says to do so in situations that make it necessary. If a spouse is actively neglecting or abusing their spouse, they can separate, and for kids to cut abusive/neglectful parents that are bad influences out of their lives. If you ever get told something that you know is wrong is said in the Bible by someone else, look it up, it probably does say it, but also look up other texts that cover the same topic. Starters, the Old Testament was acknowledged as being flawed and the New Testament is supposed to replace the old as an improved version. Bible says not to divorce, but then it also says situations in which you can. Those are two different chapters. You cannot only read one section written in a topic. Also, half the Bible is metaphorical, which it’s even stated in certain stories that it’s a metaphor. People don’t read the Bible very well, but the Bible being open for interpretation is also why many people have different views on certain quotes. Bible says God will provide, but also says you need to work and take care of yourself if able bodied. So, yeah.

Honestly I had no idea gerbils would do that, many gerbils are caged together when you go to a place like a pet store and even if you googled all the things a gerbil needs like feed, bedding and stuff, you might not see in your research that there can be a danger of two same sex gerbils fighting eachother if they're not littermates.

@@Phynastor Yeah its a huge issue with gerbils, mice and hamsters that gets overlooked (somewhat less so with hamsters), but actually even siblings will do this. Its called declanning- and it can really happen to any pair/group, the more gerbils the more likely it will happen- too much space with a pair that leads to them able to 'set up' their own homes in different locations can lead to it, stress, incorrect diet etc. Its very easy to actually avoid but it does seem daunting when you hear it at a glance and dont know what to look for. I've been reputably breeding gerbils for 10 years now and only had 2 instances of declanning from myself which were both caught early, only one of those ended with some injuries that were rather minor- and never had a client have this issue. Ive easily had into the hundreds of gerbils now so overall its not a big deal to manage. The biggest thing with them is proper introductions, slowly done and taken with lots of watching behaviours and reading how they act (and being ready with gloves just in case an introduction does poorly). There is thankfully lots of information out there now about how to do these things and what to look for, how to do it etc. The most common way to introduce is called the Split Cage Method, its easy and takes some time but no ones really told about it from pet stores sadly and the results are often very deadly. Pet stores seem to do everything possible thats incorrect for care of multiple species of animals so sadly Ive come to telling people never to trust what these people are saying. They often do not give the correct genders (of which in rodents is easy to figure out through a simple google images or facebook group),. Recommending plastic houses with all the crazy tubes and fun add ons- which arent suited for any species they try to aim it for are hard to clean and very expensive. Wheels that are mesh which catch feet and tails- and are never big enough so they actually cause damage to the animals spines. Incorrect diets that lack major things that the animals need (such as protein, fruits, veggies etc) but are full of things the animal doesnt benefit from at all. And selling animals well before ages they should be and from mill breeders- most pet stores get animals from mass mill breeders which means the animal is not stable health or behaviour wise, this shows really well in gerbils as they tend to have seizures especially if overstimulated, a key sign of this is a behavioural aspect of not enough proper socialization with people and environments at proper ages, poor breeding of just allowing any gerbils who will breed to produce offspring, and being removed from their mothers much too soon. This happens to really all pet store animals but some show it better than others in regards to the poor effects it causes that you wouldnt know at a glance. Once you see it however, you can never un-see it and it really is terrible on so many levels. Im happy to answer any questions, chat or tell stories for anyone who'd be interested now due to trying to educate people on whats truly best that they can provide for their animals or people they know. Its hard to admit when people have been doing things incorrectly, but it really shows who cares when people take interest

finders keepers. jokes aside, let's say you get to the hospital with a wound and they have to cut your t-shirt to get to it. you wouldn't be asking to get it back. Even if you really wanted for some reason they probably couldn't because it would have come in contact with any kind of hospital thing. They usually just throw it away real quick. Let's just say that apart from valuables (purse and phone, documents and, if possible shoes - things that cost a lot and would be easy to take off you) you are not guaranteed to get out of the hospital with anything that was on you when you got in. If they had to somehow cut the dildo and take it out by pieces it would be the same, procedure-wise: you take it out of the patient and since it isn't needed for a biopsy you throw it away. It's just that in this specific case instead of throwing away in a bin they kept it. I don't even know if it was possible for them to give it back but I strongly doubt it was the guy's right.

Atually its not impossible. Babies can get STIs from there mum. Baby grows up, and you've got an adult with an STD who could be a virgin

My grandmother's next door neighbors were slightly more elderly than she was; the wife had Alzheimer's, and the husband was blind and - I think - not very ambulatory. Unfortunately, their children were not close with them and also lived out of state, so they were more or less on their own with their health issues. When things became beyond the two of them combined, the wife would sometimes knock on my grandmother's door for assistance. One time, this happened while my husband (boyfriend in that time) and I were visiting my grandma. The wife came over, because she needed help lifting her husband from having fallen on the floor, I think. Not sure what led up to the incident, but fortunately, my dh was game to go over to their home and help, because my grandmother wouldn't have been able to lift a man off the floor. Other times, the wife would come over asking for help with food or some such. My grandma would go over to the house with her and ask the husband when they'd last eaten, because the wife didn't have the short-term memory to recall it. Eventually, the couple were moved to an assisted living facility, doubtless because either repeated calls to their children out of state or social services' concerns prompted them to be moved to where they could receive care.

I agree, my dog will die if I even so much as attemt to feed him anything but wet food. He would rather starve than eat kibble. And I had to suffer because I tried to guve kibble, because he will try to get MY food.

@@this_isntmyname Wait, in that country does that happen? Because in mine doctors are paid a fixed monthly amount plus eventual overtime (plus something if they do also research job, teaching job, and/or congressman job, depending of how often and how much they do). Their employer (usually the state, but potentially private hospitals) wouldn’t pay them for drug prescribed nor would they have any reason to do so. The hospital doesn’t get anything if the patient has to buy drugs, and the hospital has to PAY for the drugs that they use on patients under their care there and get eventually reimbursed. And it would be straight off illegal for anyone else to pay the doctors to prescribe drugs. It would also something pretty hard to conceal from the tax system, because it doesn’t even seem to be a small amount of money. It would be pretty easily traceable.

I had covid, and had some honey. It went down my air pipe. Worst 10-30 seconds of my life. Honestly, no idea how long I was choking for. What I DO know is that it felt like I was suffocating for minutes. Yeah, I couldn't even communicate with others properly at all, too preoccupied choking to death. Thankfully, it passed and the relief I felt that I was still alive was incredibly strong. This was at home.

Yet is uneducated enough to understand that by law you must be 13 or older to use KZfaq. Yet what can I say, people always break this with bad parents right?

​@@CutieKorynwhat law states this? And which countrie's laws are we talking about?

@@frozencrow8735 It’s worldwide.

@AlastorBG3 there are no international laws. Lol. Do you mean United Nations? However, they don't have any rules or laws regarding youtube.

@AlastorBG3 I should add that you can have a youtube account and watch youtube when under 13 if you have given parental permission. If you watch youtube without that permission while being under that age at sametime, you aren't breaking any laws, or do you think police is going to come to get you and give a court date? No. I think you are misunderstanding the Children's online privacy protection act AKA COPPA (which also isn't worldwide law but only federal law in usa) which states that website operators require to obtain parents permission when collecting personal data about children younger than 13 which means it's illegal for youtube to have kids under 13 years old to have accounts without the permission. (If youtube doesn't do anything and just let's account creating be free for all, they will be in trouble since they would be breaking COPPA. not you.)

Don't you mean KNEW someone?

@@Dawad2007what if they still know them

There are different kinds of catheters, so it is possible.

Unless there are oxygen tanks in the vicinity, in which case it could be distinctly *less* safe than smoking elsewhere :)

there should be stuff like this yes, and in no way would that be considered "grooming" in today's society. specifically some conservatives and religious people, as always, might be insane about it, and there's always a small and vocal group of very insane twitter users might say this about.. basically anything for no reason, but they are definitely not representative of the most common viewpoints in Today's Society.
