How’s the demand for nurses? I’ll be finishing up nursing school in less than a year! :D

Or support staff? I’m a surgical tech now, and some of my coworkers (other techs, schedulers - bottom of the medical food chain, but still with specialty experience) feel trapped here by their lack of higher education.

I was smart once! OMW!!

He knows. His goal is to weaken the US - the things that fuck us the hardest are followed by a too-little-too-late backstep probably to feed his base some plausible deniability, but his actions are pretty clear to anyone who isn’t already either lying to themselves or delighting in the evil.

He is a domestic enemy of the US.

The pic, for those who don’t want to give them clicks:

It’s relative to the country - you expatriate from your country of origin, and become an immigrant to a new host country.

Expatriate and emigrate are more or less synonyms.

ex patriot

That’s what I became when the Nazis took over as a result of being overwhelming popular to US voters. Turns out it’s not just a handful of powerful fuckers taking advantage of the rest of us: ‘we the people’ are, for the most part, just evil.

Sweet potato fries are fucking amazing when they’re done right. Usually they’re overly mushy which I think is why they get so much hate, but they’re top tier when the cook knows what they’re doing.

“It’s like crowdsourcing, but with community and business supporting resources!”

…yeah monkes and all other mammals are fucked right along with us.

Maybe a few tardigrades will survive, and after a few billion more years of evolution they’ll grow up to be less of an asshole than humans did.

Yeah if you want to pitch socialism to people who don’t know what it is, just describe its parts as individual policies. Don’t actually use the word “socialism” - that makes the rednecks scurred >_>

Dang, you mean to tell me that animal refuse blended into mush and saturated with salt is bad for us?!

Honestly if I had the means and skills to survive that semi-comfortably, I’d be down for making that an annual tradition.

The last 6 months have been a long 4 years.

I don’t know how current this is anymore - this has been floating around the internet for at least a couple years, and I have no idea if it’s being updated, but here’s a list of surgeons who will actually respect a woman’s decision to receive a tubal ligation or hysterectomy:

Women who are ‘of childbareing age’ get a TON of pushback from the medical field for wanting to do this, even in the midst of conditions like endometriosis (chronic severe pain in/from the uterus) or even cancer (can fucking kill you).

Word of advice though: DO NOT get a tubal if the idea that it’s reversible is a determining factor. They can try to reverse it (reanastomosis), but there’s no guarantee it will be successful. Get it only if you’re okay with it being 100% permanent. Same goes to any testicle owners considering a vasectomy.

…I mean… one guy tried, but he’s dead now. The rest of us are either bitching into the void, or actively loving all the evil shit coming from this administration.

So, my money’s on we’ll just continue to bend over and take it.

Creating God - Avenged Sevenfold

…I think it’s actually about AI, but this is about as theistic as it gets on my personal playlist.

Shockingly prophetic for something from 2016 - as far as our usage goes, it nailed it.

Hadn’t considered this until just now, but the vast majority of surgical instruments are steel - especially German steel. I’m not involved in purchasing, but I wonder if / how much this is impacting the OR’s bottom line in US hospitals.

The Pokemon games on all of Nintendo’s handheld consoles emulate really cleanly on a smartphone.

I’m a sucker for the Gen 1 nostalgia every now and then.

Best way to play this these days? I have a disk from the early 2000s, but iirc the last time I tried to use it, it just prompted an update that led to a blizzard launcher… idr if it wanted me to buy a new digital copy or what, but I ultimately decided it was more work than it’s worth and gave up.

…these days I don’t think I even have a CD drive lol.

Private servers with boosted rates can scratch that itch while severely reducing the grind. Every couple years I’ll poke my head into one, level to endgame in like a week, do some raids, do some PVP, then completely forget it exists. Couple years later, rinse and repeat.
