• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨should I go back to my old job now that several people, some of them more knowledgeable than me have told me they don't understand my decision to quit it?⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  i’m not a medical professional but i spent months in multiple hospital rooms providing care for a parent. they had dementia and needed more care than the staff could provide. I was often there round the clock. I saw a small sliver of what nurses go through.

  i can tell you that good nurses are extremely valuable. i won’t say rare but … yeah, they’re rare. the good they do for patients and the families that really need them can’t be measured in money. but it should be. they’re worth way more than the salary they get.

  from the perspective of other caregivers/medical professionals, yeah it’s a shame they and those families you would’ve helped have lost you. but that’s not your fault and it’s not your responsibility. you owe yourself health above anyone else.

  so yeah. they’re right that it’s “a shame”. but the shame isn’t yours, it’s the systems for undervaluing your worth by so much that they don’t pay you enough or give you enough time to recuperate and heal from the tremendously traumatic job that I know nursing can be.

  as a caregiver who was asked by multiple nurses if I had medical training after watching me with my family member, good for you. I’m also sorry for those families that missed out on you but I’m so happy you’ve found a way to support yourself and be well.

  bless you for everything you’ve done and fly high in whatever you choose to do next. take care of yourself.

  it seems like a huuuuge stretch to call either of those “furry art”.

  this poisonous trash needs to be removed from existence. the difference is this should be quietly burned in private, not as a public spectacle.

  so yeah, burn it. quietly. then it won’t be legitimizing anything

  Did it become any less miserable?

  I hated Discovery. Didn’t make it through season 1. Thanks for so clearly explaining why. AND convincing me not to bother with Picard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American tourists visiting the EU, what do you think of it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Poorer? No. Richer? Also no. Cheaper? Some things, like housing and wine. Other things, same or more expensive (such as electronics) Healthcare was at least as good but easier to get into.

  I was constantly surprised just how normal/at home I felt. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

  what you call “liberalism”, i call “libertarianism” and they’re very different.

  that realtor did you dirty. “I looked around and it was fine”?? please don’t use them even again. that’s sketchy and dishonest. no reputable realtor without something to hide would say that.

  get the inspection. and when it’s time to sell, get another one.

  This isn’t lack of ability, it’s on purpose. I have had this type explain how clever they are for parking like this to keep other drivers from dinging their truck

  I’ve had good luck with www.onesimcard.com

  The only catch is it is a VOIP number. Receiving verification texts is spotty. I have two banks, one can send the number automated texts but the other cannot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  nah, good ban. calling women “females” is creepy, non humanizing and weird. like you’re referring to an animal in a zoo or something. you complaining about it here seems pretty snowflakey

  I really like your comparison to Tasha Yar. Hemmer was easily one of my favorite characters. At least his death was in service to the crew, whereas Tasha’s was senseless.
