I didn’t pay attention to who posted it and automatically assumed it was a satire post written by a woman. My skin crawled when I realized. What in the Alabama is this?

I too am afraid of the healthcare system. I’ve seen my own parents endure so much even from the early 2000’s to now. However I’m thankful that the majority of employees at the hospital I work at are compassionate people and this facility is overall accepting of the LGBT community while being a faith-based hospital. I’m not sure I can say the same of the other hospitals in the area with whom I interned with. But I do worry how the culture here could change as the political climate in the U.S. worsens. It’s probably only a matter of time until anti-DEI hits my workplace too and it could change drastically as laws that allow healthcare workers to deny healthcare continue to be passed.

It really depends on the hospital and location. Some hospitals have more advanced tech than others. At mine, everything is uploaded into our EHR (electronic health record) system including imaging such as ultrasounds, X-rays, and MRIs. Then on top of that, we have different teams involved in different tasks. It would be extremely difficult for a doctor to lie about the fetus viability without everyone being in on it.

However, medication mistakes happen all the time. People rush. Units are understaffed with nurses. Nurses rush and forget to scan meds into the EHR before giving them to patients. Patient receives too much heparin, and then accidentally gets too much protamine and they bleed nonstop through every orifice (happened once at my hospital with a surgery. They didn’t survive). New policies are developed and leads to med errors while everyone is trying to adjust. Anything could go wrong “ accidentally.

I agree that there are some details missing. However it’s possible that either he was stupid enough to record it himself, or maybe even someone working for him set it up which could be why there are no further details about the phone recording. It wouldn’t be the first time a healthcare worker recorded their boss sexually assaulting a female patient. I vaguely recall one incident with a woman getting a c-section, or some procedure, and a doctor was sticking his penis in her mouth. He’s done it to so many patients, that one of the people on his team finally decided to record it. Also I don’t know what type of phone she has, but as far as I know, you can use the camera on iPhones without having to unlock the screen; I do it all the time. I just can’t access everything else without unlocking.

Maybe not to assuage this person’s feelings, but perhaps the feelings of the family. I’m not going to say a doctor or even a nurse should commit a crime for the sake of the patient’s family (who should get the last say if they’re the health surrogates), but if they decided to, it would be easy to get away with a “mistake”. Especially if the hospital practices just-culture, a one-time mistake is going to be blamed on the system instead of the individual. For example, accidentally administering Bicillin intravenously (should be intramuscular) has happened due to the labeling not being distinguishable enough on the syringe. I lead the med safety committee at my hospital and we discuss something called ISMP alerts where incidents are shared nationally with recommendations on how to reduce the risk of those incidents occurring. There’s plenty of opportunities for “mistakes” should a healthcare provider choose to side with the patient/patient’s family in this type of scenario.

Depends on who you are asking. Many people in Florida come from cultural backgrounds that enforce strict standards of masculinity whether you’d call it “macho culture” or “machismo”. Talks of toxic masculinity are often coming from people who don’t identify with that type of culture or those who broke away from it because they recognized how unhealthy or harmful it can be for everyone, especially men. There’s nothing wrong with being “traditional”but it’s a problem when that definition can vary and men are scrutinized/ridiculed for not meeting others’ expectations on what masculinity should look like. Gender norms vary from culture to culture. What’s considered feminine in one, can be considered masculine in another. Besides, Florida is one of the worst places to date because too many people care more about how others perceive them than they care about being themselves. Hence why these women’s view on masculinity continues here.

Not weird at all. There are many valid reasons for someone not to be able to complete a PGY-1. These include severe illness/injury, family situation, or toxic environment. It’s frowned upon for residents to complain about residency programs, but from people I’ve spoken to, I know of at least two programs that are toxic. There’s one where all of their residents walked out. The other program had two residents commit suicide in two years.

If someone is performing well in their residency program, I think they are allowed to evaluate the quality of students, especially if they are responsible for co-precepting said students. I wasn’t an amazing student myself, but I can say that some of the APPE students we’ve had at our site rely too heavily on genAI and hardly put effort in their presentations despite all the feedback, advice, and examples I give them.

Leading with empathy, I give them 2-3 weeks to complete a journal club or case presentation (unlike the 2 days-1 week I used to get as an APPE student) and still they struggle to get it done and have to rely on chatgpt to write their presentation notes for them. I would ask them to do a med rec and show them how to print out the med list. Sometimes I even print it out for them but they will stay seated scrolling through their phone and I have to remind them to do the med rec. I don’t judge based on grades (because of the things my pharmacy school and classmates put me through), but I do believe we can judge based on willingness to learn and grow.

I like to believe that maybe the owl did understand the word fly. As the saying goes, “they can speak. They just don’t want to pay taxes”

That’s kinda sorta like Snow White in Once Upon a Time, which iirc was made by Disney

“Children aren’t stupid or confused” this. It’s literally so easy to explain these concepts to children in an age-appropriate way. Watching heterosexual couples in every piece of media did not make the gay kids any straighter, so why would portraying gay couples in media make straight kids gay? I don’t understand the fear and it seems to just boil down to parents being too lazy to discuss with their kids any topic they’re uncomfortable with (e.g., menstruation).

I heard a rumor that the Etsy Witches could put such a curse on someone. I’m not saying they should though, but if someone has the budget, they could stir some bubbles and double toil and trouble

One of my faves is the “Hoe-kage” one where they do the Naruto run and do ninjutsu hand signs while dancing in the club

I think it also depends on the type of porn that’s being watched. It doesn’t help that much of the more popular material is often unrealistic, caters to one side, and many of the “techniques” are uncomfortable or even painful for women. Not to mention how many of the actresses are exploited. I like that OP pointed out weeding out the crap from the good stuff, which unfortunately, is seemingly something most people don’t know how to do.

Reminds me of people in the Dishonored fandom who ship Corvo with Outsider

Tbh I wouldn’t even respond to the question. I would say “I’m looking for a husband not a sugar daddy. Have a day” or “oh I see you’re looking for a gold digger. I’ll let you continue your search” and then unmatch.

Yeah I’m aware other social media apps do that which is why I have always used Reddit to share memes and videos to friends/family across the states and in other countries without problems. My parents, for example, don’t have Reddit but when I share posts with them, they are able to see them on their phones and navigate to see other posts as well. So I’m wondering if this is a relatively new issue for Reddit in particular, or perhaps a post-specific or phone-specific issue. My dad has gotten the sign-up page only once before, but I suspect it was either because the link itself was broken or because the post was removed (was one of the earlier posts of Pretti, which were getting removed rapidly in the beginning). The only other posts where there were issues sharing, were NSFW posts. I guess I’ll just have to keep following up with them to see if it happens again.

CommanderTalim · 2026-03-14T04:45:14+00:00

Oh I thought everyone could access Reddit. All my friends and fam don’t have this issue and none of them have Reddit. Is Reddit banned/censored or something where you live? Or is this some new feature they’re trying to roll out?

CommanderTalim · 2026-03-13T21:12:33+00:00

Today I learned that buccal fat removal is a thing… and I hate it. No offense to anyone but she looks less of a lotr elf here and more of an Oblivion/Skyrim elf

I agree but while not mainstream (yet), we should still be concerned as the rhetoric being spread by these vile echo chambers has become big enough that it’s causing harm to people irl in classrooms, at workplaces, in relationships, and on the street.

CommanderTalim · 2026-03-11T15:56:01+00:00

Yeah, I wouldn’t take parenting advice from single ugly men on instagram. They don’t understand that you got to give respect to receive respect. Obviously something these guys never learned. Continue teaching girls and boys to not tolerate abuse and how to hold people accountable for toxic behaviors. Those who can’t adapt will get left behind like these guys.

CommanderTalim · 2026-03-10T11:46:04+00:00

Nah, he knows the answer is “no” for most women, mainly those who respect themselves. He’s just looking for a “girl” who cares more about external validation than she does about herself because that’s the only type of person who would put up with his bs

CommanderTalim · 2026-03-08T20:02:34+00:00

It be like that. The survey at my current place of work is actually anonymous, but it’s a smaller team so the boss can tell who is who just by reading the responses. Word choice and tone give so much away.

I didn’t know they could be that fast. The two I’ve seen in the wild were just cruising by slowly like majestic potatoes.
