See what I mean? Talking about pedophilia is basically a type of verbal crime... if you start bringing it up, you risk being accused yourself right away. It’s kind of like back in the US during the 50s and 60s... anyone questioning the Red Scare was immediately labeled a communist.
The truth is, kids rarely hide abuse (it’s not the other way around like some people claim), so predators get caught pretty fast. So there's really no point in constantly rehashing this stuff or taking trashy programs like the > seriously...

And where exactly is your proof that this is actually true? How can you possibly claim to know whether children are keeping secrets or not? Aside from acting like a walking textbook, you haven't provided a single shred of evidence to back up the nonsense you're spewing. 🙄 You're talking way too much garbage. 🙄

George Martin70 said:What about you? You ever deal with this too?

Nah, I don't feel threatened.

George Martin70 said:And I guess there are more gay people now too, just because the media keeps pushing it...

Right. Why don't you grab a book from the local library and actually dig up some evidence showing that gay people existed long, long before today. 🙄

And by that logic, I guess people are out there robbing banks today simply because they read about it in the news, right? ☕

Small Bowel Series

- A radiological contrast exam used to visualize the small intestine.
Patients need to arrive fasting—you can't eat anything for at least 8 hours before the test, and
you shouldn't drink anything for at least 4 hours prior. The process kicks off by drinking a contrast solution that travels through
the esophagus and stomach until it reaches the small intestine. From there, imaging is performed at set intervals while the patient is lying down.

How long this takes depends entirely on how fast the contrast moves through those intestinal loops, so for some patients, the whole procedure
can stretch out for several hours.

This is absolute bullshit. Stop talking nonsense. 🙂I haven't heard of anyone turning into a predator just because they read about it in a newspaper; you have to be born with that kind of broken wiring. 🤮Besides, let’s be real—there are way, way more of these people out there than what actually makes the headlines.

The media also has a job to do, which is to inform the public. If you honestly believe that ignoring a problem is going to solve anything, then you're really out of touch... 👎

George Martin70 said:TV news and newspapers are constantly flooded with stories about hunting down pedophiles. Politicians love to act all concerned about child safety, positioning themselves as the ultimate solution to this growing threat facing vulnerable kids. But if you actually sit down and read through the articles, it mostly feels like a bunch of nothing—just empty noise with hardly any substance. Every so often, this whole topic gets massive media coverage, only to be pushed aside by other things like drug legalization, prostitution laws, or marriage equality.
Pedophilia is actually a pretty rare mental disorder; I mean, in a place like the US, there are probably just a handful of these cases that aren't already locked up in prison.
Do you guys think outlets like The Oprah Winfrey Show and our politicians are intentionally blowing the pedophilia issue out of proportion, kind of like a modern-day witch hunt?

So why don't you be a sweetheart and tell us exactly where you got that number from? 🙄

You feeling a little threatened there? ☕

In my own immediate family, I've seen three different versions of this play out.

So, I didn't cast a vote because my personal stance is basically, "I've already dealt with one case like this in my own house."

You can head over to the CDC to get vaccinated.
The vaccine requires a three-dose series.

I know medical students get their shots for free since it's mandatory, but I'm not really sure about everyone else.

Honestly, I haven't quite worked up the nerve to try it yet. Besides, neither coffee nor Red Bull does much to help me stay awake. 😁

I think I'll spend a little time Googling what this guarana stuff is actually all about.

I actually spotted those guarana capsules in my DMs earlier.

I honestly can't stand her. She just doesn't do anything for me at all. 🙂

Maybe try posting this over on the psychology subreddit instead.

Man, I’m asking myself the exact same thing regarding those two specific movies. I mean, I absolutely adore Johnny Depp 😍, but those flicks are just straight-up garbage. 😬

Basically, we're all doomed. 😲 ☕

It wasn't anything special, really. I was honestly expecting much more from it. 😬

I’m always reading, too. 😬

No, actually a resident, if we’re going by what the LA Times reported.
