I think they’re getting confused with a similar sign. If you do the peace sign sweeping the fingers upward but with the back of your hand facing the person then that means up yours. Or at least it did when I was younger.

I mean holy shit you’re right, the lack of patient consent is a much bigger issue than getting lazy writing the discussion.

This shape is a fractal made from the Mandelbrot set. I guess the joke is that the more you zoom in the edges the more detail there is, so doing them would be an impossibly infinite task. https://mander.xyz/post/8966692More info on the Mandelbrot set here.

Not really. I reckon most aussies would leave the spider be, and call it cunt only in an affectionate manner.

Well that’s… unfortunate. I’d like to know how the fuck that got past editors, typesetters and peer reviewers. I hope this is some universally ignored low impact factor pay to print journal.

You could call it a colonial mindset. Wonder where that way have come from.

Absolument ! Je trouve ça toujours utile de voir des astuces - on ne sait jamais quand ça peut servir.

Effectivement chez les médecins généralistes, la plus grand distinction c’est entre ceux qui sont secteur 1 (sans dépassement) et les secteur deux (qui demande ce qu’il veut). Les spécialistes sont aussi beaucoup mieux remboursés que les médecins généralistes, malgré le fait que les deux sont des spécialistes par formation.

I mean it’s formula 1 - the answer to that and all other questions is money, lots of money. Makes it hard to love this sport.

Oui mais cette fois il va finir en prison non ? …non ?

I’ve not got a lot of advice to offer, because what you’re going through is hard and sometimes there’s no easy answer.

I will however tell you from one stranger to another that the shame is misplaced. You have nothing to be ashamed about, because you’re doing the best you can. Sure, some hypothetical you has a shiny clean house and looks like they have all of their shit together but that’s not a real person, and that standard is not useful to hold yourself against. Your mil may very well have a spotless house but you can bet your arse she has other shortcomings where you are absolutely killing it.

Shame like this is almost always a learned reaction from some past events, and almost always it’s utterly unhelpful. You’re getting stuck in a shame spiral treating yourself like shit and then feeling so terrible that you’re in no position to dig yourself out. Try not to hold yourself to impossible standards. Treat yourself like a good friend - do what you can, and then give yourself a break. And try and recognise the areas where you’re doing pretty great, even though the house is a mess. Internet hugs.

Ok, so this is an autistic thing too? I thought it was just my training from lab work seeping into real life.

Bah, à mon avis, il faut au moins un peu de fil de broderie et un set d’aiguilles de broderie. Après, tu peux commencer avec n’importe lequel tissu, mais un cercle à broder est très pratique, surtout au debut. Ça tient le tissu bien raide et facilité la tâche énormément.

Someone please tell me that shelving unit isn’t structural.

His and hers and theirs, apparently.

This is an excellent suggestion. Transforms it from massive cringe to pretty self-deprecatingly funny.

Thank you !

Thanks !

Yeah I’ve only seen it with the thin pancakes. It’s one of my favourite foods of all time. I am ecstatic to learn that there is a bun form available.

Where is this comic from? I’d love to find more by this artist. Googling came up with something from Soundcloud crediting Estefanía Irene, an artist who goes by @worry__lines, but I can’t find anything else from them.

Maybe they only made the one, shining, perfect comic and then stopped.
