If all cars were designed by computer with the sole purpose of being as aerodynamically perfect as possible, all cars would look the same.

This was an interesting read, but I’ve got stuff to do today, so I skipped the 90 minute video on their “outrageously ambitious mission”. Anyone care to summarize?

I agree that he waited too long, but simply ghosting on someone in a situation like this is a cruel, shitty thing to do.

I love eggs, but even fresh ones get cold and gross so fast. I feel bad for anyone naive/desperate enough to try one of these pathetic things.

A doctor! You compliment me, sir. My family would be so proud!
Nah, I’ve just been a patient a few times, and think that people should do the job that they’ve agreed to do, especially when lives are at stake. I agree with you completely.
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
Yeah, I am salty. Some nurses are antivaxxers, ffs. People look to them for their “expertise”, but nurses often have little or no medical education, and some don’t even accept proven medical science. I have no doubt that a few nurses have helped kill people, by reinforcing their bad decisions and ignorance.
If a nurse knows more about a patient than a doctor, then have a conversation with the doctor. Don’t just roll your eyes and let the doctor keep making decisions that aren’t helping the patient. A lot of hospital accidents because of poor communication. Don’t perpetuate the problem.
Yeah, the healthcare for profit system is fucked. That doesn’t address the core issue, though, which is a nurse giving themselves permission to ignore management/experts and do their job poorly.
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
Manager’s and a group of doctor’s POV: you are a nurse and it’s your job and duty to do that.
They’re completely right. If you disagree strongly enough, the only honorable thing you can do is quit. You are not making any kind of statement, or being “rebellious”, by insisting on doing a half-assed job. You’re simply being dishonest and providing inadequate care.
Nurses are overworked and spread too thin, but that’s not something your current behavior will fix, or even protest.
Plus, we know better than him what’s good for him.
They should. That’s their job, and what they went to school for. It is not a nurse’s place to override their decisions (except in emergencies, of course). That’s what you signed up for when you took the job. Hell, listening to your boss is a basic requirement of most jobs, healthcare or otherwise. That’s Employment 101.
Patients are often stubborn, ignorant, and it’s possible that several of them wouldn’t be in the hospital in the first place if they took their health seriously.
If you take someone’s autonomy so seriously that you’re willing to respect and tolerate their “bad choices”, that’s perfectly fine, but nursing is by no means the right job for you. It’s not the mindset that upsets me - it’s that you’re working in the worst, least compatible field possible. I hope you’re able to find something else soon.

For me, I don’t quite make him the good guy, but I do root for him (in the specific sense that I want to see him grow and become a better person). I understand what you’re concerned about, and it’s a good point.
- Comment on All in the Memery 11 months ago:
It’s funny/sad how many people take All in the Family at face value, and don’t realize the show runner was liberal as hell and trying to make a point.
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
Nah, “i always tried to blow the smoke away from the customers anyway” would be funny regardless of who was saying it. But I’m upvoting you regardless because I’m pretty sure you’re just messing with me.

This doesn’t strike me as mildly infuriating. It’s 100% funny! Extra points for the tats!

Maybe finding a differently designed table is the way to go. Perhaps someone makes one where the base is intended to be tucked under the box spring, for example.
Maybe attaching the table directly to your bed frame is the answer, rather than raising your bed.
Regardless, don’t restrict yourself to Amazon. Look at websites for medical supply companies. I would expect them to have more varied solutions.
- Comment on How Can I Make this Legless Bed Rise 2-inches? 1 year ago:
This isn’t a terrible idea like I initially thought. Permanently attach a heavy counterweight to the base of the overbed table and it’ll be more stable.
I’m hoping OP will be able to find an overbed table for situations where sliding the base under the bed isn’t possible. They can’t be the first person in the world with this problem.
- Comment on Ignorance is only really appreciated in retrospect. But the damage happens in the present. So how do we avoid the damage? 1 year ago:
The same way the world kept covid in check - by relying on others to be well informed, rational, responsible, and empathetic people.
Oh, wait - millions of people died because of wishful thinking, selfishness, disinformation, stupidity, and good old fashioned stubbornness. We’re fucked.
- Comment on Why do new sites embed tweets? 1 year ago:
Those are indeed good reasons, but there’s so much other content that doesn’t scale, like charts and graphs. If I was running a large media company, I’d rather use high-resolution screenshots than let the Muskrat alter the content of my stories.
Let him sue. I’d rather go to court than let that jackass undermine journalistic integrity.
