  Oooooh that’s why they tested me for that. They told me I was faking for drugs because I got a 140 something but I panicked and failed the left right thingy really badly and my MSE results suggested dementia (and I was like, 20). I did finally find a doctor who listened and I’ve been very functional on Strattera for many years now (which is ironic because it’s not even a stimulant / it’s functionally useless recreationally). I can’t even take simulants because I have too much anxiety.

  honestly the best posture advice I have ever gotten is to sit like I have a tail (you would have to tilt your hips forward and stick your butt out behind you to put the tail up behind you rather than curling your tailbone under such that you’d be sitting on the tail).

  I’m loving my perfectly resonant dumpster fire he’s curled up next to me right now!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Macaroni and cheese⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Time to start a social media controversy where we argue about whether it’s mac. or m.a.c… It’ll be the written version of the gif cicisbeo l controversy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I know they're the minority of users, but are they ever *not* on? (crosspost)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  fr though this is legitimately a significant factor in my suicidal ideation. People need to learn to stfu and stop clawing at everyone else’s mental health with their insufferable need to publicly prove that they’re personally flexible enough to gag on their own justice boner.

  Not up close and personal but it was enough.

  They actually care whether or not shit is sterile

  He talked to me and asked me out.

  …and then you got replaced by a lizard person and she never spoke to you again?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to meet girls at college⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I went on a date with a guy in college and he talked about how big various anime girls tits were the entire time. Insta-ghost.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zirconium⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not because we wanted to a lot of the time. Maybe because their kids wanted us to I guess. I’m a 30 year old DNR

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Priority seating indeed.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually in order (assuming the second is a person holding a child they themselves birthed): antepartum, prepartum, and peripartum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or you could go Buddhist and consider “good” sensations to also be suffering and making it your goal to escape from all of it entirely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black Holes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m just excited to see people having knock down drag-out fights about how scientifically accurate tumblr prose is on a comm that’s not my responsibly to moderate!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who knew genocide wasn't a winning strategy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Recently handed out a 7 day ban specifically for “uncreative trolling.” There’s actually one troll in particular I kinda like (won’t say who because they’ve successfully managed to make the discussion about whether or not they’re a troll part of the troll) but they’ve really made an art form of it and are impeccably polite to boot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Socially inept, introverted employees. How do you survive the workplace? Because I’m in dire need of some serious advice.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It used to be anyway, looks like it’s less now. That said, a bunch of stuff on this list is radiology stuff which you could pretty easily pivot to with a nursing degree anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Socially inept, introverted employees. How do you survive the workplace? Because I’m in dire need of some serious advice.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Could’ve picked a different trade with similar amount of schooling like welding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Socially inept, introverted employees. How do you survive the workplace? Because I’m in dire need of some serious advice.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From another nurse? Go work night shift rads. Everywhere I’ve worked that nurse works alone or with maybe a transport tech or two.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is kindness often viewed as a sign of naïveté?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It makes people feel better and more in control of themselves to think that their compassion fatigue is maturity instead of an injury that has been inflicted on them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there no universities/colleges that start in the afternoons?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or if it’s a complete program for a profession like nursing or medicine, you wake up when the professors damn well say you do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do we dream smaller now than we did decades ago?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  More of a cycle, I would argue. Part of the rise and fall of empires or whatever.

  “They used to sell gladiator sweat as a beauty treatment, they would sell it in souvenir pots.”

  “It’s the worst of me … I never do pay my bills. Have been so from a child!”)

  “Matters came to a head at a ball in honour of the Duke of Wellington when Byron publicly insulted Lady Caroline, who responded by breaking a wine glass and trying to slash her wrists.”

  TLDR; no we’ve pretty much always been unhinged.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Makes sense to me⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I read a book a while back that was called a “guide to mating” or something that was actually pretty decent and included some very objectively anthropological / sociological explanations of why if you’re ugly you better at least be a good person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨can't unsee it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Average in a way I wouldn’t normally have chosen if I hadn’t gotten over my weird hangups.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨can't unsee it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  (as an aside before I start this comment, me and my partner are both exceptionally blunt on all accounts)

  I’ve mentioned to my partner before that he’s not the kind of attractive I expected to wind up with, but that I’m pretty sure most of that is rooted in daddy issues, so it’s probably for the best.

  I’ve also told my partner that when he makes that very specific devious chuckle (that deep genuine one it’s hard to fake like when I send him a really good meme) sometimes I can feel my vagina make a little sploosh of goo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As an inpatient Psych nurse yeah the previous generations are, as a whole, wildly mentally ill, you just either made do or got locked up somewhere or other, and possibly also got beat, asphyxiated, or otherwise abused / neglected to death. This whole thing where we care about whether or not people with profound mental illness die is fairly new and yet somehow also rapidly fading. Not looking forward to what the Medicaid cuts are about to do to the modern mental health system. I’m just praying that it damages the insurance companies (in my state they get a cut of the funds for each Medicaid recipient by “being responsible” for “managing care”) but I’m not optimistic.

  Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who tells you differently is selling something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨some o y'all⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I read somewhere that there are accounts of people complaining that learning to write would reduce students ability to memorize things. It’s up there with old timey accounts of people complaining how the kids act these days and all the penises drawn on the walls of Pompeii on my list of ways humans hadn’t fundamentally changed in the past 100,000 years. Other examples include:

  • the amount of really freaky porn that’s in the Bible

  • some graffiti that was found in the rafters of an old Norse building that says something to the effect of “Olaf was here.”

  • Horrifyingly dangerous Historical beauty trends
