@theanneh You remind me of a friend of mine who has a very grotesque style of writing :0 We're in a creative writing course and her first assignment involved burning down her main character's house and family.
-
@theanneh I have done so! (If you're interested in following each other for some good old fashioned peer pressure, I'm jlbesq on there) :p
-
@theanneh It's worth a shot, I guess. I just wanna write/create generally, not just for the sake of NaNo.
-
@theanneh I don't even have enough of an idea to wing. Like, I'm totally blank. :<

@theanneh "Uhh, yeah... sorry I cut open your kid and he both felt and was awake for all of it. My bad."

@theanneh Apparently the common belief was that their brain cells were unmyelinated, which basically meant nerve impulses weren't as effective. So they inferred that babies wouldn't have the nervous tissue necessary to feel pain from stuff like open surgery, which of course turned out to be rubbish upon further research and investigation.
-
@theanneh If we're talking gruesome, one little fun fact worth mentioning is that up until 1987 doctors didn't use anesthetics when operating on babies under the belief that young infants didn't feel pain.
-
@theanneh Yeah, ethics and all that jazz. But I think a field as fragile as medical treatment and hospitalization needs to handled with rigid care, so said regulations aren't unjustified.
-
@theanneh I guess that's in the nature of experimentation, right? Trying new things to figure out what works and what doesn't. I once read "The main difference between science and messing around is in science you write things down".
-
@theanneh Oh wow, that's really cool. It's interesting to think that very early transfusions used whole blood which meant it was unprocessed, but now they can separate components like RBCs, WBCs, plasma, etc.
-
@theanneh I guess I don't dislike the show by any stretch of the imagination, perhaps the best way to describe it is that I got a bit bored of it.
-
@theanneh That's pretty interesting. I've had a blood transfusion before, which is considerably more boring.
-
@theanneh Yeah, this is very much a conversation driven community. As a matter of fact, I'm not even into the show anymore, I just stick around for the people.
-
@theanneh I've been on this site for a little under 2 years now and confirm the regulars are all friendly people just looking to have a nice chat. Topics can vary too, we're a pony site by name but have covered a lot of bases in terms of conversation.

@theanneh All things considered your best bet is to talk about what you like in the main timeline, you can usually find someone with common interests.
