Oh, this drug company is absolutely not like that at all. They are super ethical and invest every dollar of their profits into research. The dinner was to present a new treatment which has become super standard for the clinic, which involved one of our doctors presenting, I promise it was not like that at all. They are truly generous to us. There are not many treatments for this disease and this is one of the best. It was purely educational.
I worked with a doctor whose in-laws were Saudi royalty. He didn’t need to work at all he was so wealthy.
I heard about him doing an incredibly greedy thing that blew my mind one day; he showed up at a dinner that a drug company was hosting for another adjacent program he had nothing to do with and did not practice in at all. He didn’t even tell them he was coming, they had to find him a seat, and then he sat down, ordered not one but TWO whole lobsters, and when they came he asked for them to be wrapped to go, and he left. Even acknowledging drug companies have large budgets for these kinds of things, to come to an event that has nothing to do with you and do that is insanely rude when you don’t want for a thing in the world.
I know someone else who is very wealthy, and he’s pretty generous and passionate about creating things, he’s far from perfect, but truly wants to make good things and runs a business that gives him zero profit, so the contrast was pretty stark. The doctor also stiffed his professional college for a very large membership bill.
I’m glad!
I always say that if people like Peterson can’t deal with someone’s pronouns, they can misgender me if it makes them feel better, I don’t give a shit what you call me.
In his younger years it was sort of like a souffle
If there was one thing on Reddit that was educational, it was Foreign Body Friday on the radiology subreddit.
My nurse friend had some dude in the ER a few months ago who stuck his wedding ring on his penis and couldn’t get it off for what are obvious reasons to anybody but this guy. When this kind of thing happens the fire department has to come cut it off, so not only do you get a firefighter touching your junk and seeing the dumb thing you did, but also now your dick is a useless noodle, and you may spend the rest of your life reflecting on how easy the Internet makes acquiring safe items for such activities, and yet you chose a tiny gold band.
It’s true. He also keeps licorice in there for a snack.
I loved this. Bring it back. I had a pair of shorts with this pattern.
The casino here still allowed smoking long after it was banned everywhere else. You could also smoke at the Royal Canadian Legion after the fish fry was over.
With ashtrays in the arms of the seats at that. You still used to see them for a long time afterwards but they were sealed off.
Yes haha.
I would never do you wrong.
The thing is, dark money and Russian disinformation have installed a political machine in place that Trump is just the face of. As the face of this he has disturbed institutions of government and American life, as well as globally, which I think will take years to repair. It’s a global far right power grab, so even if he does die, there’s still a lot to fix.
However it’s his peculiar charisma that for whatever reason these people respond to in ways that they don’t to traditional dyed in the wool Republicans like Romney or McCain that is why they’ve been so successful, and when he dies finding a replacement for him will be difficult for them. The journalist Maggie Haberman says the way he will go into a room of these people and charm everyone in there is genius, really, even though his terrible personality is what his campaign was based on, really. He makes them laugh, my Canadian coworker who isn’t in any way a MAGA still likes him because he makes her laugh, which makes no sense because he’s not funny, but it’s the shock of him openly being what all of them really are underneath, racist and hateful and bigoted, that seems funny, I think anyway. His weird appeal probably can’t be replicated by anyone else.
So in my opinion him dying will have a major impact on the success of this political monstrous machine they’ve created, without question, but they’ve wrecked a lot of things along the way that will take a lot to restore, and my guess is that the Democrats will just let some things stay as they are.
Bring back 1970s bush. I’ll be the associate bush inspector.
Bunch of ugly bugs. This photo smells like gas station boner pills.
