I guess MAYBE I should've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure, what with having lost almost 30 kg in half a year. I think I need to halve my dose of Candesartan.

(Almost blacked out coming up from a deep squat after filling the lower rack of the dishwasher. 98/65 with no break lol.)

Maybe I should have a chat with a doctor tho.

when I was a kid the local doctor would always say "well just be glad you're not a woman" and then to my mother "well just be glad you're younger than me"

also if I don't stretch this one specific part of my shoulder/back out it gets totally hosed up. Of course, I do not do this until it's hosed up

There is earwax in my ear that has been bugging me for a week straight. It seems to want to reform in the exact same spot, even if I do the inexcusable and use a q-tip to clean it out. Going to ask a doctor at an upcoming appointment for something else to just peek in my ear with the otoscope and make sure it's not actually a little ear spider or something making a little ear web in there.

you want an audiologist. I thought I had the same thing but it could also have been sinuses after having a cold, went to one that was running out of a room in a shared office block thing and she was like "yep, that's wax, I'll sort that out for you". cost £75 iirc

I think when they used to use water for it there was a risk of ear damage but now it's like a tiny camera and ultrasonic thing or something, it's very cool.

also oh my god you would be amazed or disgusted by how much of that stuff is in your ears.

My ear had a buildup of earwax or something maybe 6 months ago that was bad enough that it blocked my hearing on and off and like any good american I just ignored it for like 3 weeks until it finally went away

i had an issue with my ear getting that sort of buildup for a while a few years ago. i bought a syringe with this pyramid tip that shoots water along the walls of your ear canal rather than straight at your eardrum. it goes around a blockage and shoots it out. very effective and disgusting lol.

also pro tip if you do that thing make absolutely sure you use body temp water lol. cold water can make you instantly super dizzy

between this and using a sinus rinse thing I have to say that all other evidence aside, creationists are wrong because who would design this bullshit?

"ok so these holes are for listening to stuff right? Ok so what if they also produced wax, like for candles? awesome! cool ok now let me tell you about the sinus thing, you like complicated plumbing right?"

the wax is how your ears keep themselves clean

like, your skin is constantly dying and falling off (and being replaced by new skin), and that includes the skin going down your ear canals. earwax gathers up all that dead skin and slowly oozes out to not be blocking your ear canal. until it doesn't manage to ooze out successfully and you need to do something about it.

Yes, actually. Unless they didn't die a horrible death of course.

It's weird how averse people have become to using the word "died" recently.

ah yes the new phrase “passed away” only coined 700 years ago

also weird how perhaps a global pandemic resulting in millions dead and more injured might make people be a little more gentle with respect to death (not that i buy into your premise that it’s being used more lately)

didn't claim it was a new phrase or it should never be used

and its odd how world war two killed and injured millions more than COVID but (english-speaking) people didn't change their vocabulary about death

i mean are you going to back that up with sources or just going with feels like the first point

i think you’re just being weird about the idea that some people prefer euphemisms about death. it’s fine.

it’s a rough chuckle but it’s kind of funny to refer to certain gruesome deaths (e.g. mussolini) as someone having “passed away”, so it has value

Exactly. I've seen people refer to someone hit by a train as having "passed" and no motherfucker they were straight up killed.

Sources for what, exactly?

And language may change and adapt but it won't stop me getting peevish in my old age.

Like, passed away used to be a euphemism used by and around the recently bereaved or to describe meemaw slipping away in bed at the age of 106 surrounded by her loving family. Strangers didn't usually use it to describe other strangers' deaths due to vehicular homicide or sudden explosive intestine disorder.
