What actually happened with those laws? I seem to recall it ended up illegal to produce porn of that in the UK or something but not illegal to watch?

Because I mean, if that's so, they're really only hurting the economy by creating a purely import market for being pissed on while a big woman sits on your face.

Always worked for me, in fact once we'd already had an oops we'd just gently caress like mad for 3 days and then take the plan B on the last possible day.

Just so you guys don't get left with too good of an impression about end of life care over here, the other day we had an 85 year old chap present to the ED following a VF arrest at home. He had no bystander CPR so a presumed downtime of nearly 5 minutes, but paramedics had shocked him back into an unstable sinus Brady of about 30 bpm. He was making poor respiratory effort and his lactate was 10 on ABG.

We intubated and fired up the transcutaeous pacer (which looks uncomfortable as gently caress by the way) which had trouble capturing but brought his rate up to 50 ish. Dude looked pretty bad. While we were working him an argument was going on between the medical registrar and the ITU registrar, since ITU had come down, taken one look at the guys blood gas and wanted to stop. He was totally convinced the guy was hosed and under no circumstances did he want to take him upstairs. And no, he didn't feel the need for any more information beyond 'unknown 85 year old male' to make that decision. The med reg on the other hand was insisting we wait for family to arrive (ETA 10 mins) for some past medical history and to involve them in the decision.

Well med reg won, but ITU reg bitched constantly for the whole 10 minutes that we were keeping the patient alive. He was genuinely pissed off. Family duly arrived and they had a talk with them, explained the prognosis and a decision was quickly reached to withdraw support. We extubated, I personally turned off the pacer and we stood back and awaited the inevitable while the patients daughter sobbed and hugged him one last time.

Next week he is being discharged, fully neurologically intact. FFS.

It's like trying to point out to your dad that he's tightening the wrong screw when he's getting frustrated - he won't listen, he won't stop, and when he finally realizes how badly he hosed things up, everybody else better be on eggshells until he goes to the hardware store and replaces whatever he hosed up worse - and then maybe much later it'll be a hilarious anecdote that he loves to share at parties - but it won't involve everybody who warned him off before he hosed it up.

[Scene: a nervous-looking older man meets with a millennial in a darkened alley.]
Millennial: what's the target?
Man: I don't know if I want to do this.
Millennial: people don't come to us until they've made up their minds.
Man: Alright. Styrofoam cups.
Millennial: Six months and they're gone.
Man: Can millennials really kill styrofoam cups?
Millennial: we can kill anything, but not cheaply.
Man: I can pay. I work for a plasti-
Millennial: I don't need to know and frankly I don't care. One of us will deliver a routing number to a Zurich account. Two billion euros, then we start.
Man: Al..alright.
Millennial: It will be your last chance to reconsider. Once the money is processed you'll have no contact with us again.
Man: I understand. It has to be done.
Millennial: then it's sealed. The cups will join chain restaurants and diamonds in the void.
Man: Thank..thank you.
Millennial: We don't require thanks. Participation is its own trophy.

My dad worked at a photo studio back in college. Apparently the finances got rough, so at one point the owner gave him a hasselblad instead of paying him. It takes really, really, really good pictures.

Those slaves do deserve commendation. They were amazing people with a ton of talent. But you can’t discount the slave owners who were owning them and spearheading the plantations as well. Without them, those slaves wouldn’t have produced the goods that ran the american economy.
