Never heard of this

30 m/s would be pretty fast

Has anyone said anything yet?

Kinda annoying the POV view exaggerates how it looks imo. So like, I'll be overly self-conscious about whether others can tell, but afaik they don't.

Idk about rpgs, but in anime it seems like bandits are frequently targeting nobility and merchants since they're the ones with wealth to steal. I'd assume if games deviate from that, that's just the propaganda to make the player feel okay playing a cop.

For initial dosing, that seems pretty normal. Do you have a check-up in 3 months?

Do you dread them because they're too short?

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike 1 points 1 month ago

but make sure to give an answer that feels right when they poke your wrist.

Feels right to whom? A 1, maybe 2, is probably how I'd rate it if I was trying to be honest unless they're seriously stressing it without a warning. In which point, I'd just be totally confused how to rate it, but they could probably get a decent idea about the discomfort from my reaction.

Or feels right for the injury I assume I have? Should I just guess what other people would say or lookup values on the way to the ER?

Or go somewhere in the middle so it's not so obvious I'm lying about experiencing pain when I look like I'm not really in pain?

Why not? Rank 1 pain is just boring. 2 and 3 is where it gets more fun! /hj

Temporary pain can be fun (like leg cramps <3), but if it's uncontrolled and continues for a long time it can be annoying. Definitely agree that the smiley choices on that sign seem a wee bit too masochistic to be making these signs for general use...

Broken arm, collar bone, and pinkie toe all barely hurt 99.9% of the time imo (they'd only experience discomfort if they were stressed) - I'd rate them all 0-2 and two were bad enough to need surgery. But like, also my conscious sense of pain has gotten worse over time. I don't know what it would take for me to rate something above a 5 anymore.

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike 1 points 1 month ago

Makes more sense. I think the ER only asked me once when I got there that time, but I wasn't there for long.

My more recent ER trip, they just gave me drugs (like codeine or something I think iirc) without asking if I was in pain or if I wanted any. Kinda disappointed cause I was ready to not lie that time and say 0-1 (mostly because it was visible obvious why I was there, so no worries about people thinking I'm just wasting there time).

What if I'm not really consciously aware of the pain I'm supposed to be feeling?

And what's the point anyways? Just to determine if I need pain meds and what kind? Why even offer me a painkiller (even if just an OTC painkiller) when I said like 2 (maybe that was based on the xray rather than my self-report, but I exaggerated the pain up because I thought 0-1 would have made it even harder for them to take my injury seriously pre-xray)? Should I report the discomfort levels when I intentionally stress the injury or when in a comfortable position levels?

In my brain, I associate the "No U" meme with furries?
