Your parents wiped your ass. There’s no reason to be embarrassed about anything.
Just say it quick, like ripping off a bandaid:
“I need to see a doctor about a hemorrhoid that won’t go away.”
It’s not even in the top 1000 worst things kids have to tell parents. If you can’t tell them about a hemorrhoid, how are you ever gonna be able to tell them about the gay prostitute you accidentally knocked unconscious, thought you killed, and then tied up in the basement after they woke up while you were trying to bury them?
If a hemorrhoid is the most embarrassing story you’ve got, you have no reason to be embarrassed.

No. That wouldn’t happen in a gun store.
You’d have to go to a gun show.

Maybe even blacken a few teeth.

Well, not acceptable doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t acceptance.
If he’s a misogynist on the spectrum, then he might have just completely and fully accepted the news that he has a trans daughter and immediately just started treating her the way he would treat any daughter.
Sort of like if they told their boss they were trans and their boss immediately cut their salary by 30%.
It’s unacceptable acceptance.

I understand that, but was it made clear what about those examples made them suitable?

Well, then there’s your answer. Go ahead and ignore it. It’s your mouth. Show that oral surgeon they aren’t the boss of you!

Don’t ask the Internet!!!
Talk to your oral surgeon. This is part of what they’re there for.

Butter and lard aren’t the problems with the American diet.
It’s almost impossible to find anything still made with lard anymore.

Agreed. It’s just not where I’d start changing things.

Anyone who looks at the U.S. and thinks it’s a fucked up country because of the food just isn’t paying attention.

University IT for the first two jobs, now healthcare IT.
University is definitely the place to work if you get into the right department. In my first job I was a db admin for a medical research center. Then I moved to a job as IT support for a robotics lab.
Pay is crap, benefits are fantastic.

The C-suite boss where I work complained about being in the office at 7 am and seeing empty desks.
This was pre-pandemic.
The thing was, policies in place at the time allowed employees to work from home up to two days per week, and flex hours were permitted as long as the core hours of 9am to 3pm were covered. It just sounded insane to everyone.

I’m Gen X and the last job I had that required me to work a specific shift was in the kitchen of a pizza place in 1988.
In my first job after college, I asked the business administrator what hours I was expected to work, and she was noticeably confused by the question. She told me most folks show up around 9.l, but made it clear that it was up to me.
In my next job, I asked how to request PTO, and my boss told me he doesn’t care about the record keeping. He said just let him know when I won’t be there, and as long as everything keeps working he doesn’t care if I’m ever there.
Even in my current position when they introduced time clocks and we had to clock in before our start time, we were allowed to specify our start time. I chose 10:00am. I normally get in around 7am, so I figured if I’m not going to be in by 10, I’ll just take the day off.

Whip out the red pen, make corrections, and send it back with points taken off.
- Comment on Like Elon Musk, 1 in 3 bosses admit they are pushing RTO because they're so upset about wasting money on all those empty desks 2 months ago:
Early in the pandemic, our CEO asked why we paid so much for real estate if everyone could work from home. They’ve been trimming leases as quickly as they can.
We’ve been hiring people who live out of state. They only come onsite very rarely, maybe only once a year.

My parents paid for me to attend a private university in the late 80’s, for which I’m both extremely fortunate and grateful.
I wanted to do the same for my children, but there was no way. I pay half, my parents pay half, and my kids have very small loans.
I was experiencing significant disappointment that I wasn’t able to pay for my kids’ education the way my parents paid for mine.
At one point I used an inflation calculator to get an idea of how much my education cost in today’s dollars, and it turns out that when it’s corrected for inflation, I’m paying what my parents paid. My kids’ education is more than twice as expensive as mine was if you correct for inflation.

My wife is an eye doctor. She’s an optometrist, not opthalmologist, but she would definitely mock me if I got it wrong ;-)

Again, it’s ophthalmologist

without it he’d look a hell of a lot worse.
I disagree. He’s old. He’d look old. That’s not worse, it’s just human.
I’ve been to a number of funerals. No one ever looks good. Everyone ends up looking inhuman.
My paternal grandparents were both cremated. Grandfather died first, then my grandmother died a few years later.
They weren’t going to have any kind of service, so there was no need for makeup. However, my parents, siblings and I gathered at the funeral home to say goodbye. The funeral home put the body on a gurney covered by a sheet.
They looked better than any other corpse I’ve seen. They looked dead, but not inhuman.
Trump should fire the mortuary make-up artist he’s been using and just try to be human.
- Comment on Is it possible to fix one's eyesight? What are working methods? What is to be cautious about? 2 months ago:
Among the other options mentioned there is also orthokeratology: using a hard lens to reshape the eye to improve vision. It’s a non-surgical alternative to LASIK.
There are also treatment options for some binocular vision problems. Exercises that can strengthen the muscles of the eye to correct alignment issues.
