[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Gosh I can almost imagine. Im 27 and I have trouble staying awake past 12am these days

As a drunken night owl for much of my life... it's a rough fate to be handed lol

 

[Zirakzigil]

Also I've had 3 tourniquets on at once. one on either arm and on one leg. I was the casualty in the exercise. Tourniquets hurt like a bitch. Honestly I have stories for days. Army medicine is so wild, we do shit that isn't allowed in civilian healthcare

Lol talk to me when you've had one on for real over a broken bone.

I don't plan on that happening but who knows. I'm headed to Germany for a couple weeks of active duty training in late April. And I still have 4ish years of service remaining. Never say never.

Whoever applied that tourniquet should've doped you up too. If you're in a situation where you have a broken AND and some sort of hemorrhage, you need analgesics asap. As well as blood products and vascular access

Going back to The Last of Us:

First, thanks for your service!!
After you are done, this site can use a medic in the coming years. Legit. You might even have to talk down some bridge jumpers.

Best of luck!!

Stay safe over there.

Was just going to say, just watched TLOU e2 and was good.
Yes use spoiler tag for at least a week or two. That's my grace period
Didn't get to 3 yet, but played the game. Years and years ago.

Also:
Watched, Howl's Moving Castle. and The Red Turtle.... both were great, but we give 'the red turtle' approbation.

I am not shitting on anyone for having a few drinks, our per capita consumption of beer in this country is two liters per day per man/woman/child.

Just the idea of drinking at home by myself watching youtube is so unbelievably bleak to me.

Euro bragging about not drinking excessively. Is the sky blue?

Not drinking excessively AT HOME. That's what pubs are for.

Besides, the cat is a terrible drinking companion.

Especially if they drink with you.

Add a light pointer and you got a show.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

lol I'm too old to party like that anymore.

A McHurt party these days is not falling asleep before 10PM after a few beers.

Hey we have the same type of parties. Some nights I make it to 11pm and then I wake back up at 2-3am.

Add a light pointer and you got a show.

Leave them some lines of catnip and let them party like it’s the Oilers Locker room in the 80s. Or just Grant Fuhr’s pregame ritual.

Deep in the mountains. My sibling medics did it out of necessity. No one knew my elbow was shattered at the time. Dumbass me could of been airlifted out if I hadn’t insisted on not going to the trauma centre.

Many thanks Ugene! One of my instructors in the Combat Medic course literally told us to watch fail compilations on youtube and to try and guess the mechanism of injury and how we would treat it. I like to do the same thing when I watch Hockey now

Y'all ever here about the "3rd place" concept? The concept is that people used to have 3 places they would typically be found at in a week. The first and second places being ones job and ones house.

A third place could typically be a bar or cafe, even a church or local park. Basically a neutral location between your home and your job where you could be or hang out and relax. Like Homer going to Moe's when he's not at work or at home.

Apparently nowadays, most people don't really have a third place. I've seen speculation and theorizing that its even detrimental to human social life and and physical interaction in this modern day.

Ain't that quackin' crazy Jimbo

I absolutely agree with this. For my two years in South Carolina I didn't have this at all. It was just work and home, and it sucked. It's just once a week, but having a regular place to go socialize is a huge improvement to my mental state.

I thought it was no matter what I do I always finish in 3rd place.

Very interesting anecdote. I personally see it as also having a huge effect on modern dating and romance. Not everyone uses their 3rd location for that kind of thing. But many who don't wanna shit where they eat at work, or use tinder and bumble apps. You're the first person I've seen that can actually attest to the 3rd place. Although I'm an adult and I have like 5 best friends

I must be too young or conversely not hip enough to get this.

Be careful. There’s hurtful rumours that some want me to be a global mod.

Mine changes a bit with seasons, but it's the rec ultimate league I play in and then whichever bar is near that league. So it isn't specifically a place I guess, but it is the same basic idea. It's the thing I'm most likely to be doing if I'm not home or at work (and the same place 3/4 of the year).

It's expanded past that though too. We do other social things like going to concerts, renting a cabin for a weekend, beach trips, going to Pens games, DnD, etc. It started with a group of core friends joining together, but we've ended up with a lot more friends because of it.

I also have internet friends like this dumb place and a very wide assortment of internet friends that play things like among us, jackbox games, WoW back in the day, Destiny, Counter Strike, or 100 other games over the years. Voice chat really opened that up to being a much more viable social interaction. Does a Discord server count as a 4th place?

I can't speak to the dating part personally. I met my wife in college freshman year (19 years ago now, omg) while living in the same building. I am incredibly lucky to have never dealt with the real dating thing. Though from what I've seen the co-ed rec sports scene seems like a genuinely good way to find relationships. It's social without being awkward 1 on 1 situations, there's a whole damn sport to talk about, there's enough people being friendly to make people comfortable, there's a bar afterwards, and the overall group is big enough that it's not like you'd be risking blowing up a small tight-knit friend group or work situation if you get together and it doesn't work out. So any single folks out there looking for love, I recommend it


For real though, I hear so many adults talk about how boring it is and how they just work and sit at home bored and it makes me sad. I am lucky enough to have some sort of social event outside of work at least once a week, and often 2 or 3. And at that point I'm ready to stop and recharge

What if your third place was third base?
