Yep, all the black ink on my nearly-complete traditional sleeve (so… lots) had a spontaneous granulomatous reaction this year. They were all at least a few years old.

It’s currently healing thanks to a topical steroid, but I have yet to see if it stays away for any significant length of time. I can’t even have them removed (not that I want to), lest the ink enters my bloodstream and lodges in some gland somewhere. Black ink reactions are super rare; my derm had never seen one in person.

My artist even uses one of the few approved-in-the-EU inks, go figure.

Jim Croce. He died relatively early in his career and was already an amazing songwriter. What could he have written with more time?

Where did the siren sound come from? Are they making paramedics work double duty as dispatchers now?

Yeah, I only had a handful of CDs because they were too expensive! I jumped on the napster train and got a CD burner as soon as I could.

You have to be sick in the head to be a conservative.

The standard price where I grew up was $13. Feels like a steal these days.

Don’t worry, plenty of Trekkies don’t know/care about what’s popular either. That’s why we’re still making memes about a sixty year old series 🥲

You know that only Israel can stop the violence, right? If Palestine stops fighting, Israel continues the violence until they are eliminated. If Israel stops, then Palestine doesn’t have to fight back. It’s really very simple.

The source you linked doesn’t say anything about beheadings.

As a HUGE fan of Les Miserables, I 100% support this action. I think Victor Hugo and Les Amis de l’ABC would too.

Wow, calling it a “wedgie” seriously buries the lede.

I tried to watch Lower Decks that way (on Prime) but it detected the VPN and didn’t let me. 😭

I was also surprised when I moved to the Netherlands. Healthcare and insurance work exactly like they do in the US, with private insurance, copays, deductibles, additional plans for dental/vision… The differences are that the prices of everything are much, much lower.

ADD used to be a separate diagnosis, but now they classify both as subtypes of ADHD: Primarily Hyperactive or Primarily Inattentive. I’m ADHD-PI and can’t relate to stereotypical hyperactivity at all.

Dutch has a lot of good ones!

Hippo: Nile Horse (nijlpaard) Leopard: Lazy Horse (luipaard) Sea urchin: Sea Hedgehog (zee egel) Seal: Sea Dog (zeehond) Skunk: Stink Animal (stinkdier) Turtle: Shield Toad (Schildpad) Slug: Naked Snail (Naaktslak) Porcupine: Spiky Pig (Stekelvarken)

Pedantically criticizing the language of an indigenous person who is pleading for human rights is not a good look, my dude.

That’s only a legal principle - he’s not in jail, is he? Individuals and organizations can do whatever they want. It has nothing to do with modern society.

No one denies that wars bring medical advancements. What is questionable is the claim that Nazi experimentation advanced medical science.

Can you give an example of how medicine was actually advanced? Cause I’ve only heard that claim made by white supremacists.
