Honestly from my experience with corporate healthcare the real problem is that every mission critical message is wrapped in ten layers of feelgood bullshit.

I worked at a place where when they introduced a text paging system with priority flags, the actual meanings and expectations of those priority flags was buried in 30 slides of "remember to be nice to your coworkers, ok kiddos?" then there was one SINGLE slide with, "a green fyi flag needs no answer but there is a read receipt, an orange urgent flag requires an answer within 30 minutes, and a red critical flag requires the resident to be on the unit within five minutes."

When someone asked me three months after taking that course if any of the flags meant anything I had to figure out which module it even was in because the title (as stated) had NOTHING to do with this single piece of important information the 30 slide presentation contained. Then I had to scroll through to almost the end (not the actual end though because that would have made even a little sense) and take a cropped screenshot of the slide to print out and COLOR IN MYSELF WITH HIGHLIGHTERS to make a peice of relevant wall signage to keep by the secretary desk.

Technology is evolving like DNA. 99% of these proteins do nothing except you can't actually take any of them out because they might do one thing sometimes maybe that will result in the baby not growing a foot or not being able to make insulin. So instead of clarifying things and cutting back we're just adding more alarms, more forms to fill out, more presentations to watch and more documentation to read and now that we can't keep up we're not reducing complexity at all in fact now we're making robots to help us get confused faster which means things can and "should" get more complicated which means we need more robots and-

I had a coworker ten years ago literally just stroke out at work. I get it, tbh.

That anyone actually deeply cares, or to put it more precisely that anyone can care about you more than you do. If you care about yourself less, it only lessens the amount anyone else can care about you.

If someone insists they care for you more than you can yourself, there is something deeply wrong with either their perception or their motives. They are using you to meet their own ends either directly or by feeling better about themselves. In both cases they will try to control you and you must escape them quickly.

Once you come to peace with that you either get a lot better or a lot worse very quickly and in either case at least the mental illness part will be over. I'm aware of it but I haven't really come to peace yet. I'll let you know how that goes. Maybe.

See? Interesting in the sense that just music could do that.

Humans anthropomorphize pretty much everything around us with varying levels of accuracy. I'm fairly certain that my dog and cat feel anger and love in a very similar way to the way I do. I'm pretty sure plants really don't, but they might a little bit more than a storm cloud. However you apply that to your spirituality or your perception of that of others is going to be a highly personal experience for you.

I mean I just strapped on crampons and walked a mile on the ice but like. I'm an inpatient RN. idk why y'all are doin all that. Tbh I'd rather the road be clear because there were points I had to walk on it because it was safer than the sidewalk.

I feel like you shouldn't have more than 1, maybe 2 properties you don't live in that are tax free and no corporations should ever own property; they should only be allowed to rent unless the business owner owns the property. So if you're super wealthy you can have like one maybe two and or one each vacation house / business location. And if you are renting out your second / third property, you have a LOT of competition just by design. Anything more than that should be legal, but get taxed at an exponential scale. Honestly if we left all assets where they are and just portioned all business assets to their owners then taxed like that they'd have to sell to not be taxed to death and it would all equalize pretty quickly. What counts as "one property" should be in terms of population over acreage in suburban and rural areas, and population over square footage in urban areas. HOAs should only exist as shared governance of buildings that are physically attached to each other.

OK not implying anything I'm just fascinated to know either way if psychoactive substances were involved because this could really go either way and be interesting to note.

It's also good as an estimate if you hugely widen what's taken as normal. 80 is just too damn high and 12 for an adult is just too damn low.

I have 4, one for each decade of life

  1. Stargate SG1
  2. Anatomy, Physiology, Psychology, and Sociology of Sex
  3. Violence prevention, deescalation, and management in inpatient psychiatry (which became my career)
  4. Western Esoteric spiritual practices including Tarot, Astrology, Tasseography, Palmistry, and the myriad religious beliefs that they syncretistically evolved from

It's also not hard to do casually without having to grovel. My nursing subspecialty is violence management and I frequently respond to things with,"thank you for reminding me, I'm going to go do that now!" and,"I hadn't realized that was your preference, thank you for letting me know!" or,"that's a good thing to point out I'm glad you're being an active participant in your care!" You don't even have to say you're wrong half the time you can also just regularly tell people they're right.

Star shaped wand with the ability to make contactless payments.

Apparently there are 3d prints with an insertable card slot but they appear large and tbh ugly imo. My thought is I could buy a $10 reloadable prepaid card and extract the chip then give her the #s in writing as a backup if the chip alone stops working? This way I could construct it out of balsa and stain it which would be classier. I could even maybe give it an interchangeable NFC chip if she wants smarthome control of some kind.

Question I came here to ask: Would the chip still function if removed from the card?

Edit: now appears the better plan would be to buy a separate chip and clone the card? Would I want to put the chip at the top or bottom of the handle for best results tapping the card?

Edit#2: Am circling back to dissolving a card in acetone.

...and like every single one of the moms is convinced they can outpace the curse half. But like half of the kids come out as straight axe murdering psychopaths. Like the mom wishes for the kid to be a math prodigy or whatever and they decide to lower the grocery bill by murdering all their siblings.

And there's one kid that doesn't come out murderous but he does keep setting shit on fire accidentally. He's horribly distressed because it's all completely accidental and no one believes him. Winds up in the hospital cuz he can't take it anymore. Finally turns out he just has to be in the water all the time. His mom wished for him to be an Olympic athlete and he came out an Olympic swimmer not even because it made him good at it but because he couldn't leave the water. The curse literally left his guilt in by design.

Also it turns out his mother was the only person to actually pass her trial. Like they all have to do something like not eat for a month and they all snuck in a cheat meal or whatever because somehow they thought the curse wouldn't "catch them" or something. Hers was literally to sit 100% alone in a 100% featureless concrete underground room in a chair for three days and not even touch the floor and she actually legit did it. Like she overdid it and accidentally did four days because there was no clock like she had to guess when she could come out and she wanted to be sure.

This fever dream is brought to you by me running out of clonidine. You're welcome.

You could run a local instance for a school or whatever and initially let the kids only talk to each other then slowly let them out to access a list of safe instances as they get older and learn more about internet safety. Might teach a healthier relationship with the internet.

It's the end of the second season. Idk if the decision to air an mpreg episode was made before or after the series cancelation decision but it's definitely A Decision either way. Whether you watch it or not I feel like more people should know it existed.

So I've really been enjoying a lot of cheap jewelry on my days off and I really liked these slip-on false nails (it's actually a really fun stim like putting bugles on your fingers and clickety clacking them and tapping them on things) but they keep popping off the metal tabs on the rings and sometimes they're a lil uncomfy so I was trying to find little foam discs to put on the underside of the nails over the metal tab part of the rings that they're superglued to for extra structure and comfort but I can't find any small and thin enough. These ones are kinda small enough but they're still about 2x too thick and all my attempts to trim / thin them have gone poorly. The diameter isn't an issue that's easy enough to trim down but I need thinner ones (and without glitter, a bunch of them are craft supplies with glitter which would be very messy and scratchy). Any thoughts? Here's some reference pics with what I have now and the thumb and pinky nails for scale.
