Fentanyl is absolutely a first line treatment for pain in emergency settings. I give it all the time.

Must be a huge pain in the ass to get into full PPE every time you administer it, what with accidental proximity being potentially fatal and whatnot.

I think the problem isn't the fit of the suit, but that his giant disgusting butthead-esqe water baby melon head makes it look them look all weird

I have a bobblehead as well, though I'm ticker than Gaetz is. The problem with the people I mentioned is definitely the fit of the suits.

That jacket doesn't fit. It should be in the Hague for defying the Geneva Conventions against torture for what it's doing to that button. And while there's nothing wrong with a slim fitting pant, it just doesn't work with that jacket. He looks like one of those popsicles with two sticks. I think the issue with that list of people is they have the assumption that because they're slim, they need to dress to emphasize that and lean into it too hard, or feel that slimness makes whatever they're wearing look good. I appreciate that fashion is generational and a lot of people dress so they don't look like the preceding generation; a lot of younger people are wearing looser suits again, for example.

But his stuff just... doesn't fit.

Doesn’t juggernaut’s helmet do that?  Might just be confusing the two.

Juggernaut's did, I think, yes. Magneto's helmet at some point back in the day kinda gave him telepathic powers, or something like them?

Whenever I think about "old" X-Men stuff, I'm reminded that a bunch of shit that people assume came from the comics actually came from the movies, like Magneto's helmet blocking Chuck's telepathy. I assume there's similar stuff from the cartoon that I'm just not remembering.

House panel obtains texts allegedly showing Gaetz setting up 2017 Florida Keys trip with woman his associate paid for sex: Sources - ABC News

ABCNEWS.GO.COM

---

House investigators have obtained texts that allegedly show Rep. Matt Gaetz, in 2017, setting up a trip with a woman who a close associate had paid for sex, sources say.

 

Why the fuck do redpill morons insist on buying suits with horrible fits. Gaetz, Jordan Peterson, Matt Walsh... every time I see them wearing a jacket they look like they're so afraid of dressing like their dads that they insist on wearing a coat that doesn't look comfortable, fits poorly, is too small, and too short? These people have cash, and Jordan Peterson specifically clearly splashes on custom clothes. The actual fit is just... so bad. I don't get it.

Tesla Cybertruck owners claim $80K, stainless steel vehicles developed 'corrosion,' 'rust': reports

WWW.FOXBUSINESS.COM

Two members of a Cybertruck owner's forum claimed that they found "orange rust spots" and "corrosion" on their brand-new trucks, which cost almost $80,000.

 

It's almost like cars have paint and clearcoat on them for reasons other than vibes, what a world.

So how did it feel? The fentanyl I mean. 

I didn't really "feel" anything, I was mostly hyper fixated on watching them jerk my busted leg back into place and it really only feeling like someone had a slightly too-tight grip on my ankle for several moments.

I wonder how long until it takes until I'm monkey pawing that comment. 

Probably already took place between those 2 posts.

I too have a fentanyl experience from when they reset my broken leg bones. For whatever reason the pain between the break and when I got to the hospital wasn't that bad, so I didn't accept any meds at all. They informed me that moving the bones back in place would be significantly more painful than just laying around so they gave me some fentanyl before they put everything back where it belonged. I barely felt anything despite them jerking shit around while it was being reset, I received a local injection and not a lollipop, another black mark on the hospital's customer service.

I'm finding Season 3 to be very grating.

The entire series has been misery porn and then season 3 decides to flanderize itself with this aspect.

I kinda just wish Homelander would go apeshit and kill the world. Feels like the ending this series deserves.

Misery porn is a good way of describing it. I like The Boys moment to moment but I don't always feel as though I like the show broadly, and I think that vibe is why.

The game is just so stupid in a really smart way. It's great.

If wishes were ponies...

This is actually my brother Connor, who I have shared an account with since the days of IGN. It was kind of a running bit at this point, but probably 90% of the posts on the account were me me over the last 7-8 years  He is more of a lurker by nature.

 

I am good. I don't hate anybody here. I actually miss many of you goobers, even the ones who were kinda jerks  I have pretty much removed all internet socialization from my life (except for my very narrow baseball twitter account for during the season), and have intentionally leaned in to real world interactions as I think on balance digital communication has been a net negative for society. 

 

I am busy with my kids schooling, and now have a couple more kiddos I am tutoring through college. My oldest will be done with his bachelors next spring, so I have been doing a lot of LSAT prep stuff with him as I think he will take that this Fall? I am not entirely sure of the timeline quite yet on when he should take it. But it is a fun test. I did a few of the practice tests that are old LSAT exams, and it is legitimately a fun type of test.

 

I also am neck deep in a new business venture that involves a lot of travel. I've been in LA a bunch lately for meetings, and was in Park City for Sundance. The basic gist of the new company is we are a booking platform for filmmakers and theaters to connect to help fill the gap vacated by the major studios in the post pandemic world. The dummies gutted a lot of their theatrical production pipeline during the pandemic thinking that their direct to consumer dream was finally here. Whoops. Warners for example is probably 5 years away from being back to their old production output. So, so, so dumb. But it opens the door for what I am working on. It was really interesting to see how few movies sold out of Sundance as even the streamers have tightened their belts and aren't dropping dollars all over the place like they did through the 2023 film festival cycle.

 

I am having more and more conversation with filmmakers (directors and producers), as that is the side of the equation I understand the least. But the response has been really positive and I think we can crack the nut on making it a viable mechanism for theatrical distribution. Getting more content into cinemas, more varied content, and with more flexibility for both the content owners and the theaters is quite the trick to pull off, but I feel more certain of this than anything I've done in my professional career to date. My goal is to get out first title into theaters in January 2025, and I think we are on track for that. I'll hopefully have a decently far along version of the website in the next 8-ish weeks. I'll post a link so you can tell me what you think.

 

Anyway, if anybody wants to reach out to me, send me an email to sblfilms at gmail and I'll give you my cell number. I'll be all over the map the rest of the year at various film festivals and always enjoy sharing a meal with the D1Pers.

lmao, apparently the game received a novelization

There were a bunch of random NES games that did. As the wiki page explains, they were weird. Since they were made for kids, nobody could die in them. Which is fine, whatever, but some of the ones adapted were Metal Gear, Ninja Gaiden, and Bionic Commando.

I suspect AAA gaming is starting to have Hollywood style of accounting. Ie, the games aren’t really costing that much. They’re saying they cost that much for whatever tax/revenue/bonus/ etc schemes they have cooked up. Not that the game is really cheap to make, but the numbers are inflated a bit compared to generations past or even what an Indy developer might claim a game cost to make. 

Given that most of the information we have about budgets from big AAA games recently comes from leaked, internal documents, that seems pretty unlikely.

I always find it hilarious that people seem so afraid of Satan doing the most milquetoast shit imaginable. YHWH was out there on these streets turning people into minerals, killing everything not on a boat to start a fresh save file, demanding infanticide, passing on specific instructions for chattel slavery, etc. Meanwhile Satan is all, "that apple looks pretty fucking juicy guys, I'd take a bite, that's just me tho," and getting two conventionally attractive white people to pork each other.

When I was a kid I would take them out of the toaster, eat the edges, slide the halves apart, then burn the everliving shit out of my tongue and mouth on the hot filling. Perhaps the most unhinged of however many unhinged qualities I have.
