Was This Play-Doh ‘Extruder Tool’ An Accident?

I think I have a girlfriend now.

Wow, that was fast.

Was it the one you gave the Zelda thing to? If so, nice one.

I met my GF at a speed dating event. I'd recommend every socially awkward/shy person to do the same. After all, at such events, everyone is there with the same general idea in mind. You might not find your match but there won't be (or at least shouldn't be) anyone who sees you as a ridiculous desperate clown.

Think I'm banned from my doctor's surgery now. They pretty much refused to help me with my stomach problem (likely an ulcer by this point) and I got a bit mad, kicked some stuff around and walked out.

Fuck the NHS! If I had control over my taxes I'd stop paying them, because I refuse to support that system, it seems to exist solely to help drunks get new livers to ruin and help prisoners not die from injuries, meanwhile Joe Public who pays for it all doesn't see anything but rude, arrogant doctors who won't even try to help.

The other day a guy had a heart attack up the road, it took almost two hours to get an ambulance out to him (I actually have nothing against the ambulance crews, they're overworked and I support them) and a few weeks back in A&E I witnessed everyone (including children, elderly and disabled people) having to wait longer because a drunk kicked off and so they made us all wait until they'd seen to him. Naturally he couldn't speak coherently and held shit up, I wanted to beat the living shit out of him for being a pathetic waste of human life and causing other people to further fear for theirs as they weren't receiving any treatment because of him. If I kick off like that I get refused treatment... Alcoholic bastard, fuck you, you put yourself in that position and you can suffer the consequences.

Come to the US. We'll just let you die on the street. Way better.

Spoiler

Actually we'll take you to the ER, make you wait 5 hours (probably because of the same drunk, or maybe just to wait you out to see if you actually need care), and assuming you don't die waiting we'll saddle you with crushing debt so you can't afford your bills. Of course there's the possibility that you'd have insurance but the specific doctor you see isn't considered in your network so you still end up with a ridiculous bill. Your best bet would be to be a veteran and go to the VA but you'd better hope you don't end up in a state with lots of corruption within the local VA system, or you'll wait months to even visit a doctor in the first place and your paperwork will mysteriously disappear.

Honestly it would be nice if insurance systems were centralized (or single payer) and doctors were privatized. In some countries that have a few separate insurance pools that are all managed and regulated through a central agency. In Canada they have a semi-decent idea with single-payer insurance and private doctors but then each province has its own technically and they're mismanaged causing issues with delivery of service (other than emergency care). In other places like Taiwan there's only one source of insurance but it ties together all of your medical records and everything so you can go to a new doctor if you don't like your old one and don't have to go through any bullshit (doctors compete on QoS). The NHS is a decent idea but of course depending on funding and oversight it's ripe for having lots of failure points since it tries to create a single unified system of everything.



Anyway, having a nasty and violent temper isn't a good way to endear people to you.

[High Treason]

What is it with people and putting words in my mouth? I've heard about the system in the USA, it appears that it's just as shit but from the other direction. I never said other countries had their system right, only that the one here is rubbish and I don't like it.

To be honest, they're lucky I didn't trash the place. I've been complaining of the same problem for over a decade and they keep fucking me over. I'd already decided I was leaving that surgery and moving to a different one anyway, plus I'm on the edge of a fucking breakdown and can't control my temper right now, I can't sleep because of the physical problems so I keep missing my damn therapy because I'm either passed out or too sick to get there. I have a decent case for malpractice by now though as they've nearly killed me a few times over the years and did it again recently when giving me a prescription for medications I was already known to be allergic to, also it's apparently fine that I can't breathe and haven't been able to eat for a while.

this.
I went to the VA in Seattle four times (after waiting over six months - then a month/two months in between these appointments). Four times I had to spend an hour in registration because I didn't exist in their system even though I've been going to the local VA outpatient clinic for three years prior to that & the Phoenix VA two years prior to that.

Then I end up with a disgruntled, over-worked neurosurgeon who declares I'm too young to have those kinds of back problems and damage. I try to explain that it's a combat related injury, but he's already shuffling out the door to see his next patient.
Fine by me. After that encounter I wouldn't want that hack anywhere near my spine anyway.

I tricked my wife. She thought I had money.

Little did she know, all I had was an extensive Lego collection and some broken N64 controllers

@ HT - I never did wonder why that was your avatar... avatars say a lot. Sounds like MaryJane and yourself need to meet, if you haven't already.

@Zaxtor - I think the makers of playdoh know exactly what they're doing, just as much as Disney knows what they do.

@Mark - That was funny

@TerminX - Clearly your wife comes nowhere near duke4

@Eddy - Don't fall too fast, it's a long way back up.

As for the health thing, I look back and think it must have been some kind of shot I received at whatever age that gave me asthma. Who TF goes from being the best runner in grade.9 to having to quit hockey not even a year later because of a newly "sprung up" asthma and allergies?

yay Gougle is in here, seriously guys does noone find it disturbing how these corporations troll the internet? Maybe if I hiss, it'll go away.

The same reason a spider wraps it's prey in a nice blanky, complete with warm soothing venom before it slowly removes the innards.
Tell me, is facebook a search engine? Why would I not see ALL of the search engines logged on here at times? No, just the massive.. crooked ones.

Your world must be wrapped with such a nice little bow, you know not of the man behind the curtain? He is there, for certain...

[Person of Color]

Yo Eddy just pace yourself when you pop your cherry...just my friendly advice bro.

[Robman]

If it's the first time, chances are pretty good it won't last anywhere near 3:53s so wrap it up as control will be nowhere to be found

I really wanted to post the scene from "a million ways to die in the west" but couldn't find a good version.

Because you followed the sterling advice of the Duke4 community or because you realised getting chicks is all about showing up in the proper ride?

better than jerking off during the date. That could be awkward.

Too late, I can see the thought bubbles popping up now, full of avatars. 1 bubble in particular after round 1 being "damnit...shoulda jerked off!"

Wearing a condom is good advice though. For when/if it comes to that part of the show.

I wasn't actually being dismissive of the advice (thus the reason it was chopped from the reply).

Perhaps, depends on the people involved. Some guys might take the advice and find themselves having flipped around the other way where jerking off is the *only* way they can "show the depth of their affection". Or find themselves in a situation where it's the right choice and feeling negative about it hampers the ability to appreciate the value of the moment.

We have a lifetime to figure out how to "nail it". We have one chance to feel at ease during each moment that matters.

That said, I adjust my comment: "The last thing you want in your head is other people's voices."

So is waiting, if it comes to that part of the show and there is a question.

It's not gay to wait.
It's gay to be pretending to wait.

What might this question be?

If they want to wait for a wedding night/honeymoon, that's fine, in fact preferred. Other than that though, I've known way too many people who got prego
with their first sexual encounter.

fumble fumble, it's in! squirt... oops.

Unless we get biblical on the subject, in that case.. wait til you're married to have sex, never use birth control and don't deposite your seed anywhere but within the confines of the vaginal canal. In-time you ll have your own tv show and 19 kids. We are being "bred out" so, I think this is a good idea
