Older doctors were literally taught that black women have a higher pain tolerance. This in part originated from an early gynecologist doing experiments on black women slaves without bothering to give them any anesthetics. His justification for it was basically that they could handle the pain, and there are doctors practicing medicine today that still belive it.

I had a co-worker, in a different office than me, who had two of the same shirt. She decided to wear only those two shirts to work until somebody said something. A little more than 3 weeks later and someone finally commented on it.

2·2 years agoThe waffle maker that I have is one that makes 4 square waffles at once. So about half way between Belgian and Eggo. Probably the most important thing to remember to use cooking spray. If you forget the spray you’ll end up with at least half of the egg stuck to the waffle maker. I just whisk the eggs in a bowl, with just salt and pepper. Though if you treat them like scrambled eggs and add water/milk/whatever you’ll probably get better results.

13·2 years agoI see two approaches that you can take.
- instead of focusing on what you are taking away. Focus on what you can do with the money instead. Telling them that they can have a new TV with that money is a lot more motivation to say yes than taking something away.
- Do the scream test. Just cancel everything and wait for someone to scream about not having a services and resubscribe. Repeat every 6 months or so.

I was in a computer club in High School. So we were able to play a few games in the computer lab after school. The teacher that headed it absolutely loved playing Descent, but she was also so bad at it that it was pure blind luck if she ever actually hit anyone.
