My parents unironically told me they know he’s untrustworthy and hope his election results in dissolution of the government, general anarchy, and eventually the second coming of Christ. We no longer talk.

When I said ‘explicit interracial gangbang with facials’ I was not exaggerating.
- Comment on how could this happen😔 4 days ago:
Especially when they have the softcore in song of Solomon and the interracial gangbang in Ezekiel 23. And they’re not 100% explicit but Abraham tries to get Sarah to cuck him several times in Genesis, and there’s a couple incest scenes in Genesis as well. Honestly most of the positive aspect I’ve gotten out of the Bible is actually a fair amount of comfort in knowing that humans really have not changed. We’re just as depraved as we ever were.

I told hubs to just come hug me in bed for five minutes the other day (I’ve been working his glutes a bit too hard lately). 10/10 will request hugging in bed again.

This person is either at lost mildly psychotic or fucking with you. It’s wild that people are down here in the comments offering evidence when the entire concept is entirely absurd. This isn’t an age thing this is a “this person is unhinged, don’t interact.”

That level of conviction that you’re right about something can be pretty destructive regardless of who you are. Theory of evolution was a fear step forward but also somehow resulted in phrenology so. Assholes gonna asshole regardless.

- Comment on Rules for a gun fight 1 week ago:
As a psych nurse my rules for a gunfight are that the ER security checkpoint with the metal detector and x-ray bad scanner better have found and removed the gun by the time the patient arrives on my unit. One day they didn’t and I was VERY put out. Absolutely miffed. I wrote a very stern email in the morning.

- Comment on yeet 1 week ago:
Yeah it’s one of those "things that separate us from (most) animals. We can ask “what if” and simulate the probable result with a decent amount of accuracy completely internally. It’s a really cool feature if you know what to do with it, it’s just sometimes it runs some really weird simulations “just in case.”
- Comment on I don't understand how Trump gets away with all his senial BS. How come everyone is telling him to piss off or use the constitution to shut him the hell up? 2 weeks ago:
I had an old coworker who had given MAGA organizations her life’s savings. She was working well past her planned retirement and wound up getting a head injury. She shouldn’t have been put in the position to work high acuity psychiatry in her 70s. And to the day she retired she kept saying trump was going to reward her any day now. I hope those grifters rot in hell.

Most offenders I’ve interacted with have no specific attraction to children at all. They want to rape someone and children just happen to make ideal victims by being smaller and weaker and depending on age and upbringing may not even realize a crime had occurred or be able to advocate for themselves. Most of the offenders would have / often had also raped the elderly or disabled if given the chance. They would even attempt to prey on the smaller or weaker staff members if given the opportunity.
There were a few edge cases of profoundly psychotic / ID patients who genuinely just didn’t know any better but again it was rarely a specific attraction and more of an overall disinhibition, they would generally also have trespassing, petty theft, and property damage charges. Violent and sexual intrusive thoughts can be a part of some OCD presentations but they basically never offend and the thoughts usually go away when the underlying anxiety is treated with medication and behavioral therapy. I’m not saying attraction to children doesn’t exist, but when we’re taking about the actual issue of child sexual assault it’s just an unproductive line of discussion that relates very little to the actual core issues.
Now that said, we do have a huge issue as a society with allowing the high of righteous fury to interfere with victims actually receiving justice. Those accused have just as much of a right to due process as anyone accused of any other crime. Interfering with that right either creates massive overreach by the legal system or in individual cases damages evidence that would be used to fairly prosecute an offender. It also creates a social environment where people protect their offending loved ones out of fear for them, when they should feel secure in the knowledge that while they can’t stop living them, they can and will be safely separated from the rest of society for the rest of their natural life.

I mean it’s a shitty take and really doesn’t evidence good understanding of the topic (I used to work forensic psych and have met a LOT of pedophiles) but as far as shitty internet takes go it’s meh at most and wild to me that you went to the effort to dig that out from two weeks ago for this discussion.

Or physical therapy.
- Comment on Why in hospitals, is 'gun shot wound' appreciated as "GSW"- 3 weeks ago:
Easier to write. We spend 5 minutes talking about you at handoff (and I need to write down everything AS the other person is talking) then I have to write a mini essay about each person. Abbreviations are highly specific to specialty, but much easier. An example from my specialty might be:
BIBA GSW to LA (iso suspect DV but pt denies), also ligature marks to neck. WC placed, CT (-).
Which is to say
The ambulance brought them to the ED for a gunshot wound to the left arm. We’re pretty sure the spouse tried to shoot them and it looks like they tried to strangle them too, but they won’t admit it / is covering for them. The wound consult is in and they did a CT of their neck already, no severe injury noted.
…which is like three times as long.

Epigenetics does play a role in a way medications are starting to be able to address (basically there’s extra little hormones and stuff your DNA makes when recent generations have been stressed, so if the great depression hit your great grandma particularly hard your genes might still think you need to hang onto some extra fluff just in case). But yeah a lot of it is social stuff that just isn’t going anywhere like McDonald’s being the only place you can get calories at after job #1 and still be on time for job #2.
- Comment on Meetings 3 weeks ago:
Ours just repeatedly tell us not to give patients the remote and list off all the incidents that have happened in the past month related to people giving the patients the TV remote. I never have and never will but at this point I’m kind of surprised we haven’t had to get it back from endoscopy yet. I’ve been thinking about starting a rumor that we did for funsies.

Oh I actually took a course on integrative medicine and it was basically for when you can’t give more meds for an immediate comfort need like relief of pain, anxiety, or nausea. Like if they’ve got chemo and they can’t safely tolerate more compazine sometimes smelling mint reduces nausea for some reason. Like they’ve tried it with orange or whatever as a control in a sample group that’s unaware of the connection and it does actually do something for some reason. Weirdly that connection has been a known thing to nurses for a looong time it’s basically standard practice to put two masks on with some Vick’s between the two when cleaning up a particularly unpleasant puddle of bodily fluids.
- Comment on How open are you about yourself to others online in general? 4 weeks ago:
I had a BSN program where an ongoing assignment was blog posts although it was an option to set the privacy to your instructor / fellow students only. I think it was good practice in maintaining patient privacy while still expressing your lived experience for the purposes of self-care venting AND advocating for societal reform. Like yeah I’m not going to tell you enough details about the patients who have done some sketchy shit to us or had sketchy shit done to them, but I do think it’s important that the rest of you understand how things actually work / happen. Some things are entirely unavoidable, but there’s also a lot of things that should be unavoidable but currently aren’t due to some social ill.

From the perspective of not having a dog in this fight that is an unhinged level of fucks to give about this and in the context of this thread I love that for you.

Honestly I like the slow reveal that the Ellimist was also a massive dick. It’s like realizing the Vorlons aren’t actually “good.”
