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

One of the medical clinic nurses at the state Psych hospital I worked at would give any patient a condom if they asked and not tell anyone. Like. It was known to administration and it was one of her official responsibilities to do so, but she would not reveal who she gave them to or keep any records. We would absolutely stop them if we caught them but you can't always catch people before they make a wholeass new person.

Men love BPD chicks because we'll be obsessed with them and could suck the paint off a trailer hitch but they act all shocked when they realize they need Steve Irwin level animal handling skill to not get their face chewed off and that they might just get speared to death anyway. My guy, do you want to live life on the edge or not?

It's my signifier since gender means so little to me.

NGL actually something I used while cataloging my notes on the influence of Christianity on western esoteric mystery traditions. I mostly just used it to organize and format things though. Most of the actual data came from outside sources. For instance it couldn't keep the translation correct when pulling up specific verses.

I say this to every coworker who asks why I have a car I rarely drive. It's honestly just less stressful to commute that way. Idgaf about the weirdos at the bus stop for the most part. 90% of them are high or drunk af passed out cleanly. Every once in a while I have to nudge them out of the way to sit but that's not usually an issue they just grunt and shift and they're usually too shitfaced to move in their sleep once they're out again. One is a lady who is always drunk af but awake and basically just uses the bus stop as a people watching spot and tells me neighborhood drama. There's a pair of northerners who are polite in a northerner way. There were a brother and sister who were sleeping there for a month but last I heard she found a job and I wished them luck and haven't seen them since. I've had a few really good philosophical conversations. One was a guy who had gotten his phone stolen and we chatted about the positive effects of increased mindfulness of the day to day and not being constantly observed and reachable by both your personal contacts and the faceless corporations. I got bothered by one guy but groundskeepers were hanging kinda close and the admins pass me on their way from their cars into the building I haven't seen him since so either the facility took care of it or the other inhabitants did. Sometimes I talk, sometimes I just eat my Bacon and biscuit from the cafeteria and drink some tea. I'm trying to listen my way through the Bible just to know what's in it. Right now I'm listening to the long long list of shit you're not allowed to do while living in an aggressive war tribe in tents the desert like shitting too close to camp or having sex that doesn't make more babies to keep fighting the other tribes. The cadence is weirdly chill almost seussian.

If it's a 2 lane per side road the best way to get them to pass you is to not break check them but just take your foot off the gas until they get frustrated enough to just go around but this contextually sounds like a single lane sitch which you are correct is dangerous.

In Psych we only have limits on the what.

This is what it's like being a psych nurse talking to an ICU nurse. It's the difference between

You put what WHERE???

and

The patient put what WHERE???

I'm CN on this one but interestingly hubs reports this choice:

yummy yummy pseudomonas...

cancer. It's literally cancer.

Legit have had paranoid patients making shivs or trying to start floods or fires and barricading their doors soap or lotion themselves up. The barricading isn't usually an issue because most places I've worked have had swingstop doors but extracting them without getting them or us hurt always fucking sucks. Usually someone who's spent time in the correctional system doing stuff like that with the soap or lotion but one dude was a combat veteran. That suuucked.

Oh yeah I thought I was a sure winner until I saw the fluffs.

Valerian root. It's GABA active. Smells like either manure or freshly rained on soil though depending on your nose in a similar way to how cilantro taste varies between people. It's what's in sleepytime extra.

tbh most psych units I've worked don't even do that kind of ED. We'll do BED in a pinch but anorexia nervosa or bulimia with significant weight loss is either stable enough to be managed outpatient or unstable enough that it needs either medical hospitalization or a specialized unit. I've worked one psych unit that could handle telemetry and they wouldn't have liked having to.

imma have to steal a cuff from peds to measure that bp

The Horus Guard's beak glistens!
