Last time I rolled my ankle I got a Maisonneuve fracture. The surgeon who fixed me up was super pumped about it because these types of fractures apparently don't happen super often.

It's not even a catchphrase. It's a threat

Help in this endeavor is appreciated.

I didn't even have to crack the lunge whip to encourage her to go. She just ran around all by herself lol

She's in heat, so she was doing her best to show off for all the boys while I was exercising her.

Getting her to come inside is even harder now lol

It was free, too. Neighbor was getting rid of it and let me have it.

She's the best lol

She was upset with me at first because she just wanted to graze. Then she got into it when she started trotting around lol

She doesn't like me very much

I got a diagnosis today after trying to figure out what's wrong with me for twenty years. My grandmother died at a relatively young age of lupus complications and she had to end her whole career at 36 because she was so sick. I'm 27, and I am terrified I'm going to end up like her. Her quality of life was absolutely awful for the entire time I knew her. I don't want that for myself.

What nostalgia this brings lmao. The not pooping for 3 days meme is just as iconic as the influx of beans posts.

I've tried explaining Lemmy to people and they do not understand. They are like "just use reddit bro"

I stopped using Reddit when the API protests happened and haven't gone back. I honestly think Lemmy is far superior. I love seeing and interacting with the same people in varying threads. Feels like an actual community.

Has anyone else here never actually bought a TV? I've been given 3 perfectly good TVs that relatives were gonna throw out when they upgraded to smart TVs. I love my dumb, free TVs. They do exactly what I need them to and nothing more. I'm going to be really sad when they kick the bucket.

My coworkers give me shit for not working late all the time. Like, I work late when I absolutely have to or get permission to make up missed time. I refuse to stay just because lol.

This is almost uplifting. Like, it's terrible the man was suffering so much, but it's admirable that he chose the better of the two options he was giving himself. That probably makes me sound like a terrible person.

I don't see an issue with gay super soldiers.

I work in IT and occasionally encounter super sexist people who want a man to fix their computers. I'm not rude to these people while on the phone with them and I make sure to be extra kind. I totally talk shit after hanging up though. Fuck anyone who thinks I can't do my job because I'm a woman.

I had a disabled cat (heart failure, nearly blind, digestive issues, and severe brain damage) who went absolutely bonkers for strawberries. He was always trying to steal them. He was never successful. One day I caved and gave him a slice of a strawberry. He sniffed it then left. The next time I ate strawberries he went right back to trying to steal them. He was such a little shithead, but was the best cat I've ever had.

Exactly. I don't want rabies. And thank you! My dog didn't realize we were being attacked and wanted to play with the critters. Made it harder to get him inside. I didn't even realize I was injured until some time later when I noticed scratches on me. Adrenaline is crazy.
