Twisted gut cuts off bloodflow, and since intestines are soft tissue they can just stay twisted until that part of the organ dies, and then having a section of intestine dead is just fatal unless you get surgical intervention and usually still even then.
It’s less common in humans and more survivable, maybe because we can do bed rest. You cant just tell a horse not to move wrong or go to a liquid diet.

Yes, she was trolling an opposing player.
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 weeks ago:
Snowden is living in exile in Russia.
Chealsea Manning leaked the “collateral Murder” videos during the Iraq war and had her sentence commuted by Obama. She remains a political activist and, according to Wikipedia, a DJ.
- Comment on Why do companies require you to submit a resume but also put the same data into their forms? 3 weeks ago:
Sounds like your employer doesn’t give you enough time to actually do the work, just barely enough to to do it “good enough.”
It’s probably even worse for the people you hire.
They say we are going to become worse off as population decline tightens the labor market and I am fucking here for it. Maybe when you only get 10 resumes you will be given a chance to actually read them.
- Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done? 4 weeks ago:
Personally, vacation days are for medical appointments.
- Comment on Anon is given an ultimatum 4 weeks ago:
Upon further consideration, you have a point. A self identified NEET might not, but it’s also a label that is applied to people who might want to gain employment or training but don’t have the opportunity.
- Comment on Anon is given an ultimatum 4 weeks ago:
NEETs are not looking for employment either and wouldn’t take it if it was offered.

- Comment on Why exactly are nursing aids paid so poorly? 4 weeks ago:
Wealth disparities of millions of times are anathema to democratic government. If you don’t want peasants and feudal nobility, you have to offset wealth accumulation.
Inheritance taxes have proven insufficient. So wealth taxes are the next best compromise.
- Comment on Why exactly are nursing aids paid so poorly? 4 weeks ago:
Child care and elder care seem to be in demand.
- Comment on Why exactly are nursing aids paid so poorly? 4 weeks ago:
We should tax wealth not work. But that’s not socialism. Socialism is workers owning the means of production.
- Comment on Why exactly are nursing aids paid so poorly? 4 weeks ago:
Then in a socialist system you would have the opportunity to join an in-demand field.
- Comment on Why exactly are nursing aids paid so poorly? 4 weeks ago:
Day caregivers should own and operate daycares. Nursing aids (and nurses and support staff) should own and operate nursing homes.
Auto shops should be owned by mechanics. Grocery stores should be run by grocers.
Workplaces should be owned by the people that work in them. Worker owned co-ops.

It makes perfect sense for them. It doesn’t make sense that the rest of us don’t beat them until they change their ways.

Celebrities and the Uber wealthy have to worry about this. The average person does not.
- Comment on An 82-year-old YouTuber grandma was raided by police and SWATs during her live stream last night where she plays Minecraft to raise money for her grandsons cancer. Authorities brought 20 police cars 1 month ago:
Gunfire would not necessarily panic people in the vicinity. If you are in a suburban setting, surrounded by 6 foot fences separating 2 story houses, a few shots could be mistaken for hammering, some kind of construction project. If I did think there was gunfire, I would go inside, and take shelter, not hang around to talk to cops.
I would never run toward cops period. They might shoot me.
I have fired guns and been around guns as they were fired, and I am not confident I would know the difference easily. Plenty of Americans have less experience with firearms than I do.
- Comment on American workers are tired of waiting. 2 months ago:
I guess if you think they are just lying about the votes you should ignore them and let the rest of us play in the playground.
- Comment on American workers are tired of waiting. 2 months ago:
Then American workers should get involved in primaries.

The multiplayer turned out great for me. It ended up being a big draw. My wife and best friend plays, and we have played together.
- Comment on How come they don't make generic drugs for cats and dogs. I love my sisters buddy to death. Its just weird that all my meds are generic but animals are name brand. I just hate spend 250 every 3 mon. 2 months ago:
My pets have always used generic drugs.
- Comment on Is there a chance America one day will elect a Progressive? Or will we keep going the elder dipshit route? 2 months ago:
We just need to end the filibuster.
Americans need to feel the consequences of their votes and stop relying on gridlock to save them.
- Comment on Confirms to Marxist theories regarding the proletariat. 2 months ago:
People created art and music for no profit as far back as the records go. If there was no profit motive, people would still make porn. There wouldn’t be as much porn, but there would totally still be porn to be found.

Until the US military gets fried and the dollar collapses the rest of the world will care.
That day may not be far off, but it not here yet.

They will be fucked for exactly 2 election cycles. 2026 and 2028. 2030 will be a red wave year. Calling it now.
Voters have memories worse than goldfish. Dems will be a shoe for the white house in 28 but will be lucky to hold it in 32 unless something historically tragic in the scale 9-11 or COVID happens in 31.

Philip is the English spelling of the name.

I assume Houston Street is named after a man that pronounced his name House-ton. Houston the city was named for Sam Houston, the first President of the Republic of Texas. He pronounced it Hews-ton, so that’s what we call it.

Solid logic
- Comment on He has become a felon 34 times over, impeached twice, is there anything else anyone can do to get Trump out of office besides a storming the gates? 3 months ago:
Fixing what trump has broken will be a generational project, and nobody will be given the time required.

We thought we couldn’t do worse than Bush, but here we are. I’m not holding my breath for the future. I’m expecting 4 years of someone not a total asswipe and then we elect mecha hitler or someone somehow worse.
- Comment on God bless the Midwest 4 months ago:
The northwest territories were north and west of the original thirteen colonies, more or less. They are not more north east of the country as a whole, because westward expansion continued.
