- Comment on Should I donate sperm? 5 days ago:
fwiw my understanding was “if people are willing to go black/grey market for it it must be lucrative and/or a thing people greatly need!” and my answer to THAT question is:
it is very lucrative for the clinic. You’ll get some pocket change, similar to the cut a hooker gets from her pimp. Now, they are doing an important service to you and the client in terms of keeping you out of child support but also out of the child’s life without the consent of the parents (until 16-18, as you said). They’re also attending to some sexual health and genetic concerns. But they’re almost definitely not providing enough benefit to justify their cut. Fertility medicine is very lucrative as I understand.

Was watching Fionna and Cake and really getting the feels from Simon Petrikov. Like what if I did just like. Go be mentally ill again. Being a normie with a job isn’t working out great. You know what was great? Hot shower / cold beer. Gonna try therapy one more time but like. Ugh. Please do not bother me with platitudes unless you’ve got $100 to send me monthly to put towards my rent.

If this is based on your own word frequency you probably need therapy.

Idk I can picture a jagged 2x4 giving me a Phineas Gage style impromptu lobotomy just fine.
- Comment on Anon is given an ultimatum 6 days ago:
I’d rather them just have safe places to sleep than clog up the psych ward. I wanna provide a safe comfy playpen for people so manic / psychotic they don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground then release them safely back into the world to continue a fulfilling existence once they come out of it. Instead we have a rotating roster of homeless people trying to figure out the right thing to say to prolong their stay as much as possible then literally threatening to kill me when they have to follow the rules meant to keep the manic / psychotic people safe from themselves.
- Comment on It's not that bad quit whining 1 week ago:
Yeah this very much depends on the actual specific number. I work inpatient so I don’t blink at 155 systolic because we’re gonna take it again in 12h and honestly these days the hospitalist says current evidence supports not even treating emergently until 170. 140s to me is a GP/PCP’s problem 3 months from now and 130s they’ll probably just tell the person to eat less salt. There’s also the possibility that the doctor just figured she wouldn’t take anything anyway based on this person’s description.
- Comment on It's time 1 week ago:
Had a recovered benadryl addict the other day (wanna say it was for SI) who was surprised I knew about the hat man. The only reason my coworkers know is my interest in hallucinations unique to a specific hallucinogen. And then my coworkers know because I mention it when it comes up.
- Comment on The local supermarket takes protein bar protection. Anyway does anyone know how to open these cases ? 1 week ago:
🤣 I do it to keep weight on so what puzzles me is people who drink protein drinks to lose weight. My diet plan is pretty simple (it’s just a basic hierarchy of choices):
- eat the option with the most fiber
- that being equal, eat the option with the most protein
- THAT being equal, eat the thing with the highest polyunsaturated fat
- after that, eat the thing that tastes best and has the least uncomplicated carbohydrates
- eat the thing with the least trans fat
I usually don’t even get past #2 and very rarely past 3.

- Comment on Are doctor's of presidents still bound by HIPPA even if they see a major decline that would massively effect the country? Or can they tell the truth? And can they lie if under pressure from one? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah every healthcare job I’ve had has required a physical where the most intensive item is one squat + stand back up but also includes basic push/pull against the examiner, a vision test that includes a check for color vision, and of course drug testing and fingerprinting.
- Comment on Anon is a paramedic 2 weeks ago:
Or “PDW” when I’ve got 2 minutes to write down your life story before moving on to the next patient in handoff. It’s not uncommon for me to scribble down something to the effect of:
“PDW w/o plan iso ++life stress” (passive death wish without plan in the setting of multiple life stressors)
…multiple times per assignment. Like out of a six-patient assignment for the night I’ll probably write that at least twice.
If it’s only one specific stressor or I’m not too pressed for time I may specify. Common specific stressors include:
- homeless (most common)
- job loss
- SO/mom/dad/sis/bro/pet/fam died (usually only one buuut)
- charges
- SUD (substance use disorder)
- chronic ill.
…but yeah people be checking into the psych ward for passive death wishes that all the time. 9/10 times the stressor is homelessness and realistically they’re exaggerating a little for 3 hots and a cot but I probably would too tbh and I also really don’t wanna live in a world where we gotta question the validity of somebody’s expressed suicidal ideation.
- Comment on Can a person who is representing his or herself still play the insanity defense or EED defense? 2 weeks ago:
When I worked forensic psych pretty much everybody who wanted to plead insanity was trying to weasel out of something horrible (time spent institutionalized NGRI is almost always waaay longer than an equivalent prison sentence so it’s only worth it if you’re going away for life anyway).
The people who were legit psychotic would just keep defending the psychosis as reality in increasingly bizarre ways. They’d demand to represent themselves because the court appointed lawyer kept trying to talk them into accepting treatment but noooo, they needed to make a public statement about the gay bar being full of alien pedos.

- Comment on Is there an "Avoid Amazon" community for people who want to support smaller online retailers? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah but I’ve got ideas I have more to contribute with like my biggest project on fedi is !DIYMentalHealth@lemmy.dbzer0.com which is an effort to create a slightly more structured mental health support space that gives people specific tools and education to get by when they can’t afford a professional.
The biggest thing holding me back right now is that I think the space would really benefit from a bot. I tend to be kind of flaky and lose focus and I have all the posts written but often forget to actually post them once a week. I think if I could do that plus an automatic weekly check in thread I might be able to kickstart some better engagement.
- Comment on Is there an "Avoid Amazon" community for people who want to support smaller online retailers? 3 weeks ago:
I tried to make one literally called not-Amazon but pretty much everybody had an opinion on how I was doing it wrong and I just didn’t have enough emotional bandwidth to deal with it. Would be happy to be a secondary mod if somebody else has the energy to deal with those people.
- Comment on Colby Light 3 weeks ago:
my patented charcuterie lunch box:
- jerky
- cubed Colby Jack cheese
- mixed nuts (I like cashews and almonds but you could probably do something cheaper like peanuts)
- dried fruit (I like cranberries and apricots but again you might find something else is cheaper)
- ritz or similar store brand crackers stored separately from the other items.
I buy the ingredients in bulk and pack them in small Tupperwares. they’re great to graze with at work.

- Comment on Break the conditioning, maximize your horsepower. 4 weeks ago:
OK it was what I expected.
TLDR; the “horse” part of this wasn’t the problem other than that it’s easier to purchase an unhinged quantity at a veterinary supply store. If he was reconstituting to the proper strength (being sober would have helped with that) the electrolytes themselves wouldn’t have been an issue (and honestly are actually beneficial when imbibing).
I figured it had to be, iirc from reading veterinary metabolic panel normal ranges most of us placental mammals have roughly the same electrolyte balances. Afaik it goes back to whether you have a common ancestor only before or also after leaving the ocean and that your balance is reflective of the ocean’s balance at that time.
- Comment on Anon watches redditors talk about bodycount 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I was gonna mention the menstrual cup thing. The fact that they perceive the vagina as a purely receptive sleeve also suggests that they’re also never had a woman orgasm on their dick. Hubs reports varying perceptibility between different episodes but that the muscular contraction is often robust.
