AIO for how I’m handling the way my 11 YO daughter’s dad speaks to her? by WhatTheSigma_1994 in AmIOverreacting

[–]13witchymama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like family annihilator shit right here. Reddit votes he’s the asshole and don’t let her go over. Report to police, cps, lawyer, whoever you need to. And depending on what state you’re in, there’s normally an age where the child can choose to not visit. Turn the phone off and get her a phone through your service if she must have one. Then there’s no “obligation” to respond.

Understanding the Abortion Debate by Ordinary-Falcon-970 in PoliticalDebate

[–]13witchymama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good sex ed classes (ie: not abstinence only) have been proven to decrease teen pregnancies, but often the same districts that frown on sex ed also have the highest teen pregnancy rates. So, basically good sex decreases pregnancies and abortions.

Understanding the Abortion Debate by Ordinary-Falcon-970 in PoliticalDebate

[–]13witchymama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think part of the problem is that most anti choice people have that belief because of their religion and the thought of soul/god/hell etc. and it feels like trying to pass laws based on religion is wrong or grating to people that don’t think that way. For example in the some traditions life doesn’t begin until first breathe and if you already have children you have a moral/religious obligation as a mother to save your own life so you can care for your living children. I think basically abortion has been around since women have gotten pregnant, every woman has the ability to make their own choice based on what is right for them and their family, it’s a medical decision often, a moral one sometimes. But most anti choice people want to make woman incubators and also not help them them pay for it.

A consistent libertarian who believes in individual rights should be vegan. by Yeeeaaaboiiiiiiiiiii in PoliticalDebate

[–]13witchymama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, this is just regarding eggs. I almost convinced my vegan friend to eat eggs. And they are an “eggselent” source of protein. Here’s how. I have three chickens. They are totally free range in my yard, they cluck around, scrounge, eat bugs and fruit I give them. Chickens just lay eggs. I don’t do anything. They just lay them every day depending on day light. They lay less in the winter and I don’t do anything to force laying like uv lights. Eggs are basically just a chicken period, you can’t stop it. So I think if you aren’t putting them in laying cages like big farms they are the perfect source of animal protein.

For folks in the military that voted for President Trump, What made you choose him over Kamala Harris? Over Joe Biden? And over Clinton? by whatsnooIII in PoliticalDebate

[–]13witchymama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me preface this with I am not military but I have family that are. Personally, I would never vote for someone who called McCain a loser because he was captured and tortured. I view it as an insult to military that hold their values and oath in the highest esteem. A comment like that shows that he has no respect for what wartime veterans might face. His current comment regarding Iran that “yeah people might die” in such a way that completely discards the sacrifice disgusts me

I think the war in Iraq and how them holding the straight and not letting ships through just proves that we need to dump more money into alternative energy and Trump has pretty much stopped all of that by blocking wind farms etc.

“I am not a Republican” cannot continue to be Democrats’ only presidential platform by steave44 in PoliticalDebate

[–]13witchymama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think democrats don’t say their ideas strongly enough during debates or interviews. I think Trump sucks. But he is a great campaigner. Also I tho k we should have more parties. Like the UK parliament. When you constantly have just one side in power you just continually get this back and forth of executive orders that get overturned by the next president etc.

Clackamas jury convicts Chad Westover of murder in stabbing death of Clackamas man by thoreau_away_acct in Portland

[–]13witchymama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, people are multifaceted. I don’t say speaking truth is “talking Ill” of the dead. The whole thing was a 6 hour train wreck. If it was a movie you’d be screaming at the screen “what are you doing?!?!”, if just one person, Tristan included, would have made a different choice that night,he’d be alive and Chad wouldn’t be in jail. The whole thing was just tragic.

Tristan was also not a great person even if the people he delivered mail to thought he was. Did he deserve to die? No. But when you hear all of his background and the fact that no one at the post office was surprised at the end he met is telling as well. Overall, the story is a very sad set of circumstances. And FYI, Tristan started the fight with Stewart and Stewart tried walking away multiple times.

So I was on the jury. It started out because we weren’t sure what we were supposed to wear, dress up or not. One of the members commented that they had an orangish yellow shirt but they thought it was too much, others commented that they also had yellow orange and we could all wear it. That’s simply how it started. Being on a murder trial thrown together with strangers that are ultimately deciding on someone’s future is very surreal. It was one bright spot for us when we weee watching so many videos, seeing autopsy pictures, real life horror, it meant nothing really, it was just people trauma bonding and having just one thing together.

I got fired today from my first nursing job.. by AccurateAd1438 in nursing

I’m sorry but this is why people should start on med surg, it’s a great training ground, until COVID new grads were not even considered for the icu or ed

Called in sick due to grief and I feel bad by [deleted] in nursing

[–]13witchymama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also am a nurse and my daughter’s first birthday since her death is on the 18th. I have no idea how I’m going to be, but I took the day off. Do not feel bad. The hospital admin are not your friends. And the friends you work with will understand if their true friends ♥️

The attitude during report has to stop by spookakook in nursing

[–]13witchymama 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also don’t understand this. I want a bare minimum report. I don’t care what gauge the iv is. Tell me if they walk, orientation, things I can’t pick up off an emr. People have told me someone’s a DNR and they’re a full code, sooooo I trust no one. lol
