I don't think there could ever be a more perfect finale episode title than "Made In America", it's nearly a triple entendre that summarizes the entire show. "-30-" from The Wire is pretty good too. "Felina" from Breaking Bad... eh. But damn, David Chase nailed that one. Sopranos once again stays on top. Much like me wit ya muddah.

Basically, I've had the same problem with most languages that put the verbs at the end of the sentence, both Korean and Japanese, where I can often catch the first few vocabulary words, but by the time I've processed what the word I heard was, the verb has already been spoken and I miss it because I'm thinking about the first few things I heard someone say. Obviously I can't see the kanji or other words they're saying so I can't go back and check and what someone has said just vanishes into the air.

A simple example would be something like "韓国の電車ってどんな感じ?"

I can pick up the "kankoku no" and "densha" but then by the time I've figured it out and said to myself "oh they're talking about Korea and trains" they might have said the last word "感じ" while I was processing it, and often it's come out sort of mumbled by the speaker since the speaker would assume most native listeners would predict the context of "how are they?"

I'm not sure if anyone can relate and I'm assuming the answer to this is probably a mix of "get better" and "learn more vocab" and "internalize more", but I'm wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks that they used to catch verbs.

Title, basically. I went to the dentist and during the exam she did some kind of check where she was palpating my neck under the jaw and around the upper jawbone itself around the cheeks.

I guess I could kind of get maybe if she was checking for thyroid issues, or possible cancers that might cause lumps around or under the jaw, but then she was basically massaging the back of my neck and kind of poking my trapezius/shoulders and collar bone area. She said that I have a stiff neck (I'd argue 'muscular', since I'm a weight lifter and fairly lean).

The prodding around the collarbone area was so fast and light that I can't imagine she could actually tell anything by it.

Is this real? Or is this some kind of snake oil or pseudoscience thing? Is it some kind of relaxation technique before she starts poking around and scraping teeth with her tools? I feel like a dentist might not be qualified to palpate someone's collarbones to find health issues, but maybe I'm wrong?

Does anyone know?

Title. I'm confused as to why the turnstile didn't invert TP as well like it does other things. Can anyone explain?

edit: I'm getting this same comment a lot - I already blocked them from automatic withdrawal at my bank. They aren't getting any more of my money. I did not use a card to set up my account.

UPDATE: Certified letters detailing these complaints (in much more professional form than this post) have been mailed to my state's DOJ, regional FTC and the gym itself. We'll see what happens.

Forgive me if this isn't the right place but this is the most active sub I could think of.

Essentially, around 8 months ago my old gym was bought out by a larger gym group from out of town. The new gym owners immediately cut costs. All the classes were cancelled, equipment was broken for months and never fixed, and supplies like paper towels and disinfectant spray stopped being replaced. The gym is 24 hours and the doors are set to be open from 7AM-9PM and then require a keyfob after those hours, so it's all automatic as far as entry/exit.

I got sick of the new gym owners' handling of the place, so I got a membership at another gym and planned to cancel my gym membership at the old one. However, there's one catch - The old gym requires the gym owners to cancel your membership, you can't do it on your own on a website or anything. You have to talk to the gym staff to do it. Okay, that's fine, I live in the same city, I can go in and talk to them. Right? Wrong.

Here's the catch though: Literally NO ONE works at the gym. At least, as far as I can tell. I have called them over 15 times at all different hours of the day and different days. I have gone into the gym and searched for staff FOUR TIMES, again on all different days at different times. Even just today, I called them again, using both phone numbers they have listen on google - and no answer. I called an hour later, and same thing. No answer. Hell, a few months ago I even called their sister gym an hour north and asked them to leave a message on their internal messaging system for the staff to call me back - which of course no one ever did. I have sent emails, with no reply.

My best guess is that to save money, they simply get some cleaning crew to come in once a week and sweep and mop, but they're leaving the gym essentially as a "ghost gym" that runs on door lock timers.

My only option left was to go to my bank and tell them to manually place a block on the billing company from withdrawing from my account. I don't use the gym, I want to cancel, but the gym has made it impossible for me to cancel, which has made it impossible for me to stop being charged.

Now I am getting emails from the billing company saying I need to pay for past-due bills. They're charging me late fees as well. I called the billing company and they said "the only way we can cancel is if we hear from your gym staff" (again, I've called this billing company and explained multiple times, to no avail). I explained that there are no gym staff and I've contacted them and went in physically and no one works there, and they just say "it's our policy, we need to be contacted by your gym to stop billing".

What the hell is left for me to do? Is this going to affect my credit? Can I sue my gym in small claims court?

The chords are (D -> A) which would be the the I to V chords in D major.

Then it goes (C -> G) which would be the IV to I chords of G major.

Why does this work so well? You'd think that if the sound of D major jumping from an A to a C chord would sound dissonant since it's nothing close to anything in the key of D, but it works somehow? Is there some kind of modal explanation?

Title.

It seems like quite the jump from removing chips on circuit boards to being this wealthy Wallace subcontractor. And if she had a compromised immune system, how could she even survive at the orphanage? Who care enough about her to get her into (presumably) school and pay for her training/education/startup costs?

Big shout out to the guy who locked in Aphelios top in my last ranked game and went 1/9 in 14 minutes because he didn't realize he was autofilled toplane.

There needs to be persistent and ongoing audio cues in the client that remind these idiots that they're autofilled. It could be a different music track, or a special bell sound when your turn to pick comes up and some kind of "!" pulsing next to your portrait, or hell, when it's your turn to pick the announcer could simply just go "AUTOFILLED" loudly. I don't care. It just needs to be more obvious for these clowns since apparently they're on absolute cruise control sometimes.

I'm considering getting one and I just gotta know what's the deal with bidets and how people use them. Sorry if some of the questions sound judgmental.

[Type A] For people with a combo bidet/bidet toilet seat:

1. Do you wipe with toilet paper before activating the bidet function?
2. Do you wipe with toilet paper AFTER using the bidet function? Just to get dry and remove any straggling wet shit and dingleberries?
3. Does the nozzle or any of the parts of the combo bidet seat ever get shit/shit water all over them?

[Type B] For people who have a separate bidet and toilet:

1. Do you wipe with toilet paper before moving over to the bidet?
2. After moving over to the bidet do you just spray water at your shitty anus or do you like, go at it with your hand or something? Are you just hoping the spraying/running water gets the last remaining 1% of poop off your butthole?
3. After you get off the separate bidet, do you wipe with toilet paper and throw it into the toilet to flush, just to make sure you're clean as a whistle and someone could eat off of it?

Basically my nightmare would be to meet someone who didn't use any kind of manual toilet paper wiping at all, either before or after, because I feel like you'd just be walking around with wet shit in the cracks of your balloon knot and creating poop gnocchi.

So what's the deal? How are you guys using them?
