Coolest part about being a Millennial is you can make a top 1-5% income and go buy a home in a modest neighborhood then realize the previous owner was a retired electrician who bought it 15 years ago for a jar of peanuts

@moej4prez I feel this. I could be such a great person if I wasn't actually the incarnation of conscious wet dryer lint.

There’s been a giraffe just roaming the Texas hill country for two weeks and they FOUND her just hanging out, living her best life. People were spotting her on game cameras, can you imagine?

Daycare calls me. That's never good.

For them.

Daycare: "your son hurt his elbow and won't move his arm. Can you come take him to a doctor's office?"

Me (ex Special Forces Medic): "A real doctor is on the way to you now. I am 6 mikes out. Alert me of status changes."

I arrive at daycare. I locate the patient. 21 month old male. Scene is not safe. I drag the patient to cover and concealment behind a seesaw, away from the other small terrorists in the AO.

I begin my assessment. Blood sweep negative for massive hemorrhage. Mental status: conscious and verbal but confused (answers "dada" when asked for blood type). One breath every 2 seconds. Bilateral rise and fall of the chest. Strong carotid pulse, strong bilat radial pulse.

Teeth and tongue intact no blood no mucus no dip or foreign objects. Eyes PERRLA, negative JVD/trach deviation, C-spine intact upon palpation.

Heart sounds strong upon auscultation. Percussion negative for hemo-T. Abdominal quads normal upon palpation. Pelvis negative for book sign.

Arms and legs negative for crepitus. However, Patient indicates discomfort in right arm upon palpation and supination/flexion of the elbow.

Nursemaid's elbow.

I begin interventions. Supination/flexion technique complete at 1215. Palpable clunk on successful reduction. I write the time on his chest in Sharpie. I tape a popsicle to his hand and tell the patient to suck but do not bite/chew. I write "1 x popsicle (10g sugar)" on his chest in Sharpie.

I reassess the patient after performing interventions then package the patient for handoff to daycare/higher level of care. I yell at daycare over the Blackhawk in my head: "21 month old male!!! Nursemaids elbow!!! Treated with supination/flexion technique at 1215!!! Patient has 1 x popsicle onboard!!"

Daycare: "sir please leave."

Me: "you should have called my wife."

What I've learned from World Cup travelers this week.

- Apparently the US is the only country with A/C
- Other countries don't use seasoning on their food
- You can only buy a gallon of milk in the USA
- You have to pay for a 2nd or 3rd pop at a restaurant outside of America. No free refills
- They love to party just like us and boy are they fun!
- Only we do flyovers before games
- America's spring is hotter than Europe's summer
-We have a lot to learn when it comes to soccer chants
- Ranch Dressing is a delicacy to be treasured
- Their media lies to them just like ours does to us

Can we keep em?

YES 😭

If you’ve never stood in the rain hitting a mean rooster with an old rusty cookie sheet in a t-shirt and rain boots while it charges your bare legs and you’re yelling BACK OFF F****R you aren’t even a real farmer.

It's a travesty that we lost all our horse tracks for more property developments.

This is not satire.

'We're spending $9 million this year to fund horse racing breeders to breed horses to race in Michigan, but we don't have any horse racing tracks'

@Carol52538896 @RobertSkvarla Something about sacrificing a red heifer or two to usher in the End Times. Has to be completely red, no non red hairs on its entire body and there are a bunch of weirdos attempting to breed this pair of heifers.

[Robert Skvarla @RobertSkvarla]

My favorite recurring bit in these End Times has been the ongoing collaboration between all of the most insane people in the U.S. and Israel to birth the Apocalypse Cow

[Mitochondrial Eve @tardwife4life]

The American mind has been so thoroughly mindrayped by NGO propaganda that they cannot conceive of a world where teenagers were married.

By default "teen mom" equals "unwed mom."

Meanwhile, 𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘧 of all married women in the 1950s got married at age 20 𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳.

@LMFHistorian The taboo against prostitution and making pornography seems to be one of the most load bearing Chesterton's Fence in Western society. Devastating to convince generations of women that being a whore is real respected work with no downsides

[HomesteadActof1862 @Homesteader1862]

@rightwingnutrs It's entirely anecdotal, but I know more former LCMS members in my homeschool circles than LCMS members, and there aren't any LCMS schools in my county. It seems strange to know probably 3x more former Lutherans when there aren't that many to begin with comparatively.

ALERT: US Coast Guard jumps onto a runaway boat and safely stops it in Maryland.

Authorities say the man operating the vessel suddenly fell overboard, and the Coast Guard had to intercept and stop the boat.

The incident has raised awareness among boat operators to wear their engine shut-off clip lanyards, which are required by federal law on most boats under 26 feet.

[bird 🐇 @oliveegger]

“Do you even love your husband” like yeah I’m willing to bet they love their husbands a lot and that’s why it hurts so much that his acts of affection come with strings attached or there is none at all

[Theology Like a Child @Infanttheology]

Scaer is right.

Hate? Don't be a fool.

Imagine God's perfect hatred!

They hate the 3rd use of the law because they hate the 1st use of the law.

Because they hate the true gospel.

For without a true understanding of God's eternal law, they have a fake gospel, fake Jesus...

[Matthew E. Cochran @matt_e_cochran]

Luther noted how the kind of celibacy imposed by monasteries was unnatural & unsustainable for most, which is why they proliferated scandal.

The kind of celibacy we impose (no marriage until education & career are established at ~30yo) is no less unnatural & unsustainable.
