Psychiatric Registered Nurse

Love memes and scifi/fantasy.

In my defense, not seeing any buildings bigger than a barn until you’re about ten, and not many more until 16 then going to NYC on a girl scout trip did almost cause a panic attack.

From Amazon/target ads? The sketchiest ads I click on are probably temu.

Oh my algorithm is FUCKED because I’m so insanely curious.

So first of all I’m always googling stuff from medical procedures to culture and liguistics. That’s part of how I found out that apparently black Americans will sometimes get a nose job to confirm better to western beauty standards.

Second of all, I will click on everything that I can’t identify, which often turn out to be kitchen implements or specialized hobby equipment. One time I clicked on some weird looking shoes, shortly followed by some bizarre looking amorphous plastic things which turned out to be special climbing shoes and screw-in footholds, respectively.

So anyway, that’s the story of how Google adsense thinks I’m an African American woman who hates her nose but is also extremely passionate about indoor climbing (none of this is even remotely true).

Also scribus can be extremely clunky if you need to make flyers inkscape may be easier.

Right like. I’m looking forward to AI to fill out the edges of things. I feel like an artist can make more and more beautiful art if they can focus wholeheartedly on a subject then just be like… “oh and put some grass over there. No a little shorter. A little less lush. Perf” or a video game designer can fine tune everything the main npcs say but then auto-generate the side npc responses except like “eeeeh. Make him a little removedier.” I think it could be a great tool for filling in gaps, but not a complete replacement for human writing, at least not for a looong looong time.

Honestly it’s just fascinating to me that incel culture has such a huge fixation on chins yet their messiah doesn’t even have one.

I’ve been following incel culture for a while now (and honestly mostly because so many try to kill themselves after being exposed to poison from men like this). And most of the time I just wind up roping any male staff member I can find (everybody from security to chaplains) to talk to these young men because I know I have no business womansplaining healthy masculinity to these young men.

But go ahead and get mad about one comment then read through my comment history for dirt like we’re still on reddit even though lemmy said it would be different.

So I work 12 but because I’m a night nurse a lot of the time it’s just being there and monitoring, then occasionally doing something if the monitoring indicates the need. And particularly in psychiatry, a lot of the monitoring is passive. Sure I’ll go personally check on people every few hours (the techs do 15 minute checks) but a lot of my monitoring is poking my head out of the nursing station to whisper-yell “WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT NOISE” or jumping up when the floorstaff move too fast (some of our security who know me well will actually frantically gesture at me to sit the fuck back down they’re just showing their buddy a meme they got excited about).

Honestly I’d settle for making sure the doctors hand off q12h. They often work 48 hour shifts with even more disastrous possibilities.

12s do make sense in Healthcare where every handoff is an opportunity to miss important information. For instance if you forget to mention all the specifics of all your patients injuries after a car wreck, the next nurse might not realize their sinuses are cracked and just go ahead and insert that nasogastric feeding tube into their brain.

3 handoffs a day instead of 2 is 1.5 as many chances to make an error like that.

That said, 2x12s a week instead of 3 sounds lovely.

How is his chin that small even WITH a beard? Is that the real reason incels idolize him? I know they’ve got lots of weird chin issues is he like their Helen Keller? Chinless success story?
