Built a thousand bridges, no one called me the bridge building guy,

Paved a thousand roads, no one called me the road paving guy.

But I f***** one goat...

I read that with a heavy Irish accent

But really, that throat tattoo is awful.

Baja Blast has cocaine in it. Everyone knows it, and no one wants to talk about it.

Don't want the coke to get taken out like they did to Coke

Shayne Smith is a legend. That bit he did on terrorizing the Mormon "bad" kids was hilarious!

Did he quit comedy? He was so funny but I haven't seen anything from him in years.

Checking into his yt channel it looks like he's been struggling to find his identity in the last few years... and it sounds like he found therapy that didn't work for him and so turned to catholicism to provide structure for himself. Apparently his NYC liberal college wealthy friends were too purity test focused and they were all unhappy, but the poor people on the right were more accepting to him, and they were all happy because they were married or something.

I guess if you go looking for easy answers you'll find them, but hey, at least he's happy.

I'd feel better about the easy-answers crowd if they weren't overwhelmingly fascist enablers.

Over 80% rda sugar per 250ml so I'd say your kidneys are gonna need help before your throat will

As someone with major social anxiety, I hate when this happens. I can continue going there and endure agonizing awkward small talk about my order, or never go back again. Its usually the later. Ive lost a lot of good places like this.

Throughout my years, I have dislocated my shoulder fourteen times so far. I was a frequent visitor to the ER and eventually found out they nicknamed me "shoulder guy." (Especially back then, when I was hurt or nervous or on painkillers, I get chatty. I guess I made an impression.)

After the visit where I found that out, it was years before I dislocated my shoulder again and by that point I'd moved and so went to a different hospital. Perhaps I was subconsciously so mortified that I avoided it for that reason.

What were you doing, to be regularly dislocating your shoulder?

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

I don't remember the details of every instance, but it's worth noting that according to my doctors, the more times you dislocate your shoulder the more likely you are to do so again.

The first time was playing volleyball. I went for the ball (got it, too!) then kept going until I slammed into a pole. I think the second one was also volleyball.

Other times in no particular order included:

  • Throwing a football
  • Attempting to spank my then-girlfriend
  • Turning over in bed
  • Walking into a corner when attempting to enter a hallway

The one from which I learned of my nickname was, in essence, roughhousing with a co-worker.

I was joking earlier about why I might have had a long period without dislocation, of course. Most likely the reason is that I learned what movements I couldn't safely make with my arm; I learned how to tighten up the muscles all around my shoulder and chest when using that arm in certain or particularly strenuous ways; and I got lucky and less reckless.

It's been well over a decade since the last time it happened and I hope it never happens again, because it sucks. These days my shoulder is mostly okay so long as I don't push it.

I have since solo racked servers above my head. That was hard and uncomfortable but I didn't get hurt. That was about when I started realizing what movements I should avoid.

as someone also with major social anxiety, i love when this happens because it's a guaranteed talking point right out the gate 😂

Shit, I'm in the same boat with energy drinks. All the cashiers make jokes about how they already know the price. It's like a roll reversal of customers making jokes like "that means it's free, right?"

I hate it, but I know their job sucks so I don't say anything.

I used to have the same thing with a pizza place near an old house I lived in. One night, I ordered a pizza. Got a call shortly later saying that they'd give me a pizza that was bigger than the one I ordered for the same price if I went over and picked it up myself. From that day I didn't order near as much pizza from them.
