wait americans can just. buy massive bottles of ibuprofen what the fuck
ONE THOUSAND TABLETS. ONE THOUSAND OF THEM??? im jealous we only get like 16
when you’re on here like ‘mmm yummy five ibuprofen make headache go away’ you’re not struggling with little packets you’re just straight chugging that shit what the fuck
i imagine its compensation for not actually having healthcare
I mean this is kinda literally true.
It's what people take for their RSIs they get from working two jobs that wear their bodies down, and insurance won't pay for much if any physical therapy, which can't stop you from getting another injury anyway, and doctors hate prescribing other shit that works better because everyone's apparently an addict-in-waiting.
It's what people take for blazing headaches your doctor refuses to take seriously, or doesn't want to medicate. Or for other pain they can't find a reason for and thus verify, so they don't want to give you anything else that works.
It's what you take for the tooth pain until you either save the money for the dentist or it breaks enough to become an emergency which is SOMETIMES covered by medical insurance that doesn't otherwise offer dental.
It's what you take when you just feel like nonspecific shit, and it helps, either because placebo effect, or because the constant stress of living a shit life elevates your cortisol to batshit levels and ibuprofen brings the inflammation down just a bit. Or maybe it stops some sort of pain you're so used to you don't really notice it. You can't tell anymore.
But you can buy 1000 ibuprofen and it will last you and your partner over a year, which is a lot cheaper than any other remedy, and getting a shitton makes life easier because you aren't having to buy more every ten minutes.
Congrats, if you live in the USA, Dr. Ibuprofen is one of your first line medical professionals. And damn if she ain't better than any of the others you can afford.
Uhh IDK how to tell you this but Jesus Christ no, they aren't 10 mg, that's ANT PISS. I have a bottle of 200 mg by my bed and another huge bottle in the living room, and you take them two at a time if it's kinda-sorta bad (old tendon injury you couldn't afford to have fixed so it's fucked for the rest of your life is acting up and you need to bring the inflammation down so you can walk for six or eight hours) and four at a time if the doctor says so (day after surgery, major dental, or you need a hammer dose to knock some pain back before maintenance dosing) and we like it that way because we can hardly get other meds without dogfighting for it. Yeah, you only do this a couple or maybe three times a day for as short a stint as you can tolerate, but it's way more than 10 mg LMAO. That wouldn't help a cat scratch.
Like you don't wanna do this for a long time, but also, sometimes your physical therapy ran out and you don't have a choice until next year's six to ten appointments kick in.
EDIT:
Wal Mart. $15.
We aren't going to live long enough to get kidney disease. The heart disease and diabetes from constant stress are gonna get us first, if COVID, long COVID, or self destruction don't. We don't know what kidneys are or do anyway, our science education is shit. They get stones. That's what we know.
Sorry to be dark, I'm mostly joking. But really. The answer is either No, or We Don't Care.
my NSAID of choice is actually naproxen. Back when my chronic pain was first becoming a thing and I didn't know how to manage flare ups, I ended up on Ibuprofen for so long (two or three years doing a maintenance dose near daily) that I gave have myself a sensitivity to it which resulted in a huge rash over my legs that wouldn't heal. Now I can't take it for more than a couple days without breaking into hives.
Switched over to naproxen; it's harsher, but stronger, and I figure out my body's tells. Now, if I feel a flare up coming, I can take a hammer dose (500 mg) lay down flat with a heat pad for a few hours then follow up up with a maintenance dose of naproxen 12 hours later, and if I'm quick enough, that will knock most off the worst symptoms before they escalate. I can go months between needing to medicate. Actually I think, I'm coming up on a year since my last major flare up?
But yeah, OTC NSAIDs are what keep this country running.
(Waves this around in executives faces) wow it's almost like profitable art happens without exploiting workers. Wow. Imagine that
Also it's good. The movie is good. It's nice to see something where you can tell the people working on it didn't just love the movie, but had fun working on it. Let film making be fun instead of detrimental to a person's physical and mental health
I’m gonna puke this makes me so happy to read. Idk. I just want more good news from the industry i’m going into
The Barbie movie is rated PG-13, you know what that means…
LET BARBIE SAY FUCK
Barbie said fuck!!!! 😭😭😭
Honestly!!! This is just psychological trauma in the making
THANK YOU
I’ve asked parents about this and they always say they are teaching the child responsibility and “respect for other people’s things.” If I point out that the child accidentally broke their own toy they always say “I bought them that toy” or “my sister gave that to them.”
The problem is that parents view all possessions as not really belonging to the child. A part of them always seems to think that the adult who provided the money is the real owner
If a parent breaks a dish they see it as breaking something that already belonged to them, but if a child breaks it they see it as the child breaking something that belonged to the parents
People raising children need to realize that household possessions belong to the entire household. If everyone has to use that plate then it belongs to everyone and anyone can have a forgivable accident with it. It’s okay to deem certain possessions as just yours and ask everyone in the house to respect that, but extend the same respect to your child’s belongings
Big mood. I know most of these are talking about little little kids, but here’s a tale from middle school. I had forgotten to charge my phone one night, and this was back when cell phones used to beep loudly when they were low on battery. I kept hearing the noise throughout the afternoon and not recognizing what it was because I’d never heard it before. When I finally did realize what it was, I was in science class and my fellow classmates were making presentations. I reached into my bag to try to turn off the phone, and then the low-battery sound went off, loud enough for the teacher to hear it. She confiscated my phone in front of everyone, and I didn’t get it back until after the weekend because it was a Friday. I was really embarrassed, especially to tell my parents.
When I got my phone back that Monday, my teacher said it was important for me to learn this lesson now since in college they wouldn’t tolerate phones going off. Fast forward to when I was in college, any time someone’s phone went off, either the professor would tell them to turn it off, or they would say, “Oh, my bad,” and turn it off themselves, and everyone would move on. I even had a professor who danced around while someone’s phone went off, and it was a welcome moment of levity during the lecture.
I say all this to say, one of the worst aspects of being a child/teen was adults assuming my intentions were malicious.
God I’ve been reading these posts for a while and each time I am struck with the realization that certainly not all parents were supposed to be a parent
“I say all this to say, one of the worst aspects of being a child/teen was adults assuming my intentions were malicious.”
YES this
The problem is, even if families are forgiving the culture around children still effects the child. I use myself as proof of that.
A few times between the ages of 4 and 18 I broke things. I broke my grandma’s favorite Christmas ornament. Her first question was: “Are you hurt?” and when I apologized profusely she said “I’m just glad you weren’t hurt.”
I broke a few plates. I broke a couple glasses. Every time my dad’s first response was “Did you get cut?” the second step was cleaning up the broken bits, and the third was a discussion of what led to me breaking it and how I could avoid doing that in the future.
Same with spills. Same with stains. My biggest “punishment” from my immediate family was being taught how to clean up the mess I made and being shown in detail how to avoid the same mistake in the future if it was avoidable. There were consequences for my actions, but they were the direct result of those actions and nothing much beyond that.
My family tried so hard to teach me how to deal with accidents in a healthy way. They were patient. They treated every slip-up as a learning opportunity. They showed me a lot of love. The other adults still got to me. Teachers still punished and publicly shamed me and other students for our mess-ups. Extended family members outside of my small supportive circle still yelled at me. My friends’ parents still got mad.
To the point where whenever I messed up my first instinct was that my dad or grandparents were going to punish me, or yell at me, or hit me, even though they never did. They just didn’t. They always responded with patience and an attitude of “I’m glad you’re safe and I want to help you learn from this.” And I was still afraid of messing up. Mortified. Expecting the worst every time.
It’s like… we need to change the culture around this, man. Completely.
Also, not entirely related but this shit exposes one of the biggest things I habitually point out about the hypocrisy of the pro-hitting children moral framework: it’s generally would be seen as morally wrong to physically harm an adult for messing up the same way.
Like if an adult guest (adult, fully capable of defending themself from me) came to my house and accidentally dropped one of my plates and I started trying to beat the shit out of them everyone would agree that it’s assault and morally wrong for me to do. But if it’s a child (easily physically overpowered, can’t stop me from hitting them) then suddenly some of those same people would think that beating them for that same mistake would be not only okay but, in fact, a moral imperative. All justifications for why it’s okay to hit children are ultimately fronts for their actual reason, which is simply “i think beating children is okay because I can do it and they can’t stop me”
Gaming history is trans history!
Yes this is absolutely true!!
I saw it in a show called “high score” on Netflix and they were very considerate and respectful of her so you should definitely watch it!
Totally support the show makers, they’re really cool!
She likes model rockets. Not relevant, thought I’d add it though
Okay hear me out…Queen’s Gambit style plot and show but its it’s her. It’s her playing video games and crushing her opponents who assume they’re gonna be better than her because shes a woman just saying
I second this
We live in a dystopia....
If the background actors don't come in for work because they exist virtually then the background costume and background hair and make up and their catering and transport and all the other departments that look after them get cut too. These things have knock on effects...
Hey, if you've been scrolling awhile, are you still enjoying it?
It's okay if you are! This can be a fun place to relax and interact with friends, or just hang out and exist. But sometimes, we get into the habit of scrolling, and don't think to stop, even when we're no longer enjoying it.
So this is just a checkpoint: If you aren't enjoying Tumblr right now, go do something else for awhile. Drink some water, text a friend, read a book, color a picture.
Later, when you feel like it, you can come back and check in on the chaos.
I won't blame goyim for calling them "biblically accurate angels" because that's the term that most of the internet uses. but it's really incorrect and you probably shouldn't use it.
the most outlandish and crazy depictions of angels that you probably see the most as "biblically accurate angels" are the depictions from the book of Ezekiel. the ones with flames and eyes and animal heads and basically not resembling a human form at all.
but these angels are not from the bible. they're from the Tanakh. the Tanakh came first, and the bible followed. Judaism came first and christianity followed.
I really hate how people have turned the angels that appear in a book that's part of the Tanakh into "christian cryptids". they aren't a xian creation. they're a part of Jewish lore and angelology. so maybe don't call them something that implies they're from a xian text. because they aren't. those types of angels don't appear in the xian bible, and even if they did, they were a part of Judaism long before xianity was invented.
again, I'm not blaming you if you didn't know. if this is your first time hearing about this, I'm glad I taught you something new. I would suggest simply calling those angels by their names, seraphim and cherubim and ophanim. and if you want to learn more, try looking into Jewish angelology.
