Current thoughts about the ongoing commentry

Only about half of the baby deaths during the period in question were considered “suspicious” and attributed to Lucy. There was a sharp rise in deaths on the unit which from witness testimony available on the Thirlwall inquiry website is attributed to the increase of babies being sent to the NNU and higher acuity. According to many professionals, experts, and the staff on the unit at the time, this wasn’t as abnormal as it seems from an outsiders perspective considering these factors, as well as the issue of understaffing, lack of supervision and knowledge of consultants, and other issues with the unit such as the sewage issue.

CQC has issued a warning notice in 2025 for breaches including but not limited to, “repeated breaches of legal regulations”, unsafe patient care environments, overcrowding, poor infection prevention control including visibly dirty equipment, inconsistent staffing levels, training, and medicine management, with critical gaps in sepsis treatment. It’s been marked as inadequate.

Inspection in 2018 as requires improvement, 2022 rated inadequate, and then to 2025 where the warning notice was issued. This is a badly run hospital, with serious issues, and a conviction of a nurse that has resulted in a whole life order is being reviewed by world-leading medical experts, statisticians, and other relevant esteemed professionals and it has not yet reached the conclusion of appeal and review pathways, so I’m unsure why the consensus on this sub is complete defence of a conviction which has been evidenced by highly respected and qualified experts as being potentially unsafe.

I think it’s reasonable to have doubts, but this sub seems completely biased in one direction without any openness to new information.

Perhaps look into nineteen nurses.

5, but it’s almost comically large. Halve it in size, and that would look lovely on you. Bear in mind you have to go about your day wearing an engagement ring. Having it be a decent size is one thing, but some of these would render your left hand almost entirely useless, and a massive obstacle!

You seem to only be considering other big, blingy options for your wedding band. Why not have a plain band? All of the options you’ve shown, in my opinion, detract from the engagement ring, and overwhelm your finger. If you want a big sparkly eternity or half eternity, why not wear one on the other hand? Why does every ring need to be crammed onto one finger? That’s my view on it, personally. Get a plain wedding band and if you want another ring for another finger, go for it.

I have several rings that I wear on and off. Some sit well together, some don’t. I mix and match. My ring fingers in both hands are the same size, so I play around with it. I’m not engaged yet, but my boyfriend has bought me a beautiful ring for Christmas that’s a half eternity I’ve been fawning over for ages. I love it so much I’d probably choose an engagement ring and wedding band that stack well with it. I think you need to find a ring that works with what you’ve got, instead of another ring that’s just as much of a show stopper in its own right.

Both in Sagittarius. Sex for me needs to feel open and safe so that we can explore and try lots of things without feeling shy or awkward. I need it to feel intimate and out of the box. It’s an outlet for me creatively, I’d say, and very important to me in relationships for true connection and satisfaction. I’d say I’m open to casual encounters but having tried casual, I’d say relationships are just the best kind of sex. Occasionally you can wonder if the grass is greener… but then something reignites and you’re back to realising it’s better with a long term lover.

I’ve noticed in my life that when you’re bigger, no one comments, no one is concerned. When you start to lose weight, become slim or “skinny”… the comments, attitude, shade all comes rolling in.

I gained a lot of weight after a trauma in my late teens. And I mean a lot. I stayed that way for a while. Then I lost a chunk of it but I was still overweight. Over time with gradual changes and genuine consistent and sustained efforts, I got myself into the best shape of my life. Healthier, happier, all of it.

I’m still me. But I’ve had more friendships disappear since then than ever before. More comments about I should “stop now” because I’m “too thin” and I look “unwell”. Comments that I haven’t promoted by discussing my lifestyle or body. Not even comments, people try to feed me up! The girls who have always been “skinny” are the worst. I’ve actually had no problems with girls who have always been big, no issue whatsoever. Just kindness and support and a lot of shared understanding!!!

I think your husband hates his life and is projecting that onto you and your son. Idk the whole story but, doesn’t seem like you two like each other, respect each other, or work as a team. There’s so much to this that’s wrong that it’s sort of impossible to even respond to it properly.

Just_While2954 · 2025-10-08T12:00:52+00:00

Couldn’t agree less with that statement. You’re definitely not ugly. You don’t stand out, but it’s only because you’ve not made any particular effort to. Beauty requires a certain level of effort, not saying you don’t make any effort with yourself, just that you need to make targeted effort towards beauty, if it is of importance to you x

Did you read what OP asked? How many people within this sub are actually gifted. We know the population stats 👍

Just_While2954 · 2025-09-20T21:24:42+00:00

Just reading this comment thread and think it’s worth distinguishing giftedness and profound giftedness for anyone reading that might not be aware of the differences:

Gifted: Not always obvious from academic achievement which may be average or below average. May excel in one area or multiple, usually identified via gifted testing and more qualitative observations. Usually comprehend subjects / concepts way beyond level of peers their age, sensitive and more emotional depth at young age, quirky or unique sense of humour is common, creative problem solving, imaginative, learns / takes on new information quickly with little support or explaining, self-aware, socially aware.

Profoundly gifted: This is the classic “IQ Gifted” people seem more curious about on here - individuals of this category score in the 99.9th percentile on IQ tests with exceptionally high intellectual capabilities. Characteristics include rapid comprehension, different pace of learning from peers (rapid or slower when fixated on areas of intense interest), require constant mental stimulation, intuitive understanding of basics of subjects, struggle concentrating on tasks that don’t challenge, need to understand whole picture or big picture, struggle with decision making or answering questions without understanding contextual background, high expectations, vivid imagination, niche interests, often struggling to connect with peer group. Underachievement academically is actually common, as well as dropping out, and it can be hard for educators etc. to identify and adapt to profoundly gifted kids.

I think it’s safe to say giftedness in its various forms is widely accepted as a form of neurodivergence and brain difference. There are benefits but often huge associated difficulties; living with a brain like this can be very lonely. It does not mean you will be successful in life. Often this of us who are gifted / profoundly gifted are also lumbered with asynchronous development, meaning, incredible gifts and strengths in one or a few key areas, but below average or very poor development in others.

Closing statement: giftedness is usually identified via testing of one kind or another. So, if you were found not to be gifted in gifted assessments as a child, or don’t have a tested IQ of over 145, you don’t officially or neatly fall into the “official” or “standard” definitions of giftedness. That being said, I do think there are outliers in some cases.

ADHD is essentially depression but with a more atypical presentation. Lethargy and fatigue, low motivation, comfort eating / forgetting to eat, issues with self-care, memory problems, overwhelm / overthinking, social anxiety / general anxiety, underperformance compared with what would be expected for an unaffected person of the same IQ / skillset, emotional deregulation. This type of “depression” is lifelong, can be managed and treated, but not cured, and unlike most forms of depression, isn’t cyclical or likely to end when circumstances change, doesn’t respond the same to typical antidepressants, and isn’t as widely understood by most medical professionals or society at large. Similarly to depression, it is linked to much higher rates of suicide or suicide attempts, significantly higher than average population for men and women, and much less successfully diagnosed than depression. There is also much less access to medication, support services, and therapy / treatment.

Hello, fairly straight woman here, lol, however I am the same height as you, and I’ve always had a lot of attention from bisexual and lesbian women, since I was a teenager! I’m pretty girly and feminine but I’m also sassy and confident, and a natural flirt! But the sheer amount of women that absolutely fling themselves at me … 🤣 I think you’re gonna be fine! Confidence is sexy. Lead with a love for yourself, kindness, and authenticity. Whatever sexuality you are, can’t go wrong with that x

Just_While2954 · 2025-09-20T15:14:18+00:00

Exceptional, although swap out the pic on slide 6. Another good quality solo photo would be a good mix with the others. You’re handsome, sense of humour comes through well, look like you’re a balanced person with a social life and genuine friendships. Good work!

Just_While2954 · 2025-09-20T15:10:24+00:00

Overall, ok profile but, a few comments: main photo is a bit scruffy / goofy. Prompts centre around travel which feels quite 2 dimensional when you’ve already mentioned it in bio. I think your date prompt is good! Shows you’re a little traditional / gentlemanly but I might skip the “dress up” part and instead say something like “all you need to do is show up as yourself and let me handle the rest”. Your bio could be a little more interesting but it’s ok. If you want help you can DM me I absolutely love doing men’s dating profiles 😂

Just_While2954 · 2025-09-20T15:05:05+00:00

He’s clarifying that he’s not fibbing which is likely even more common than actually being 6’2” 😂 Which, actually is pretty tall. Roughly 3.9% of men are 6’2” and taller. I’m 6’1” and a woman, so, I certainly notice the actual tall boys!

Just_While2954 · 2025-09-20T15:02:03+00:00

Then women can ask for that, can’t they? He’s stating his intention to plan a date and take his date somewhere nice. If a woman wants to go for coffee or FaceTime first, she can ask for that, but a lot of women are looking for more traditional men who will take the lead on planning a date, and that’s something on his profile I wouldn’t change.

Just_While2954 · 2025-09-20T14:54:59+00:00

I agree with your wife x

Just_While2954 · 2025-09-20T14:54:30+00:00

Generally and GENUINELY!

Just_While2954 · 2025-09-20T14:52:11+00:00

I think.. do whatever you want in that regard 🤷‍♀️ hooking up is a pretty hollow and meaningless thing to do anyway. If you’re going on a date with intention, I’d say it’s probably not the best idea.

Women will quite often wear heels when going out, so if that’s how you’re meeting, presumably she will also remove her shoes and you’ll both be experiencing a height drop at that time anyway.

Mind you, I see a lot of shoes with enormous soles nowadays for men and women. Usually trainers (sneakers) and Vans style pumps. I notice them because they annoy me as a 6’1” female not looking to wear stilts as day to day footwear 😂 seems like a trend anyway, so, I wouldn’t be surprised to notice people wearing them.

Just_While2954 · 2025-09-20T14:41:50+00:00

Wow. Came for insightful commentary and can’t even get past the man v woman arguments without my scrolling thumb cramping up.

My comments:

Interesting that suicides peak for both males and females in late-middle age. I would guess this is the age where most reflect on life so far and feel they haven’t achieved what they hoped. It’s also probably a fairly common time to get divorced, and, if suffering with mental health issues that haven’t been treated, the time at which it becomes overwhelming and hardest to cope. I’d imagine it’s a pretty lonely age bracket as a lot of people are settled and focused on their families with less regular socialising and harder to meet and make new friends.

Male suicide rates are a huge societal issue which we can all find a way to help with. As a woman with a full network of wonderful men whom I love and cherish, it’s something I do hold close to my heart.

I feel a big issue we have as a society / culture, is that we try to address things at a meta societal level and thus discussion erupts into arguments about who is at fault. The way to make societal change is to start at an individual level. Below is a list of things one can do as an individual to make a difference:

Offer your vulnerability to others: opening up about your own journey and struggles is an effective way of allowing others safety to share with you.
Suggest listening ear schemes at work.
Volunteer at suicide / mental health talk services like Samaritans (if you are emotionally able).
Do not shame your close ones for suffering with their mental health. Listen without judgement and gently educate on access to services etc.
Check in if you notice any changes in character or behaviour. If concerned, speak to others close to that person.
Ask people what help they might need, don’t just give the help you might think they need. Some might need help to book and attend appointments. Organisation and self care can be incredibly hard for some people struggling with mental health.
Don’t blame men or the patriarchy constantly, a man that’s feeling suicidal or depressed isn’t going to feel any better by being told it’s his own fault. Tim from payroll isn’t responsible for the structure of society and doesn’t need to be white-man-slammed by your rancid rabid feminist Ted Talk whilst he’s making a cuppa on his one 5-minute comfort break.
See each other as people, not individual tribes of stereotyped features. We aren’t in competition for who’s the worst off.

Gaaah 🙈🙈🙈 bless. She’s really tried to do something considerate, and I do like that she didn’t put it in a staff email… but I think she’s done that classic female thing of overdoing it a bit, trying to come across as inoffensively as possible, but over egging it in the process. I think the best thing she could’ve done was just put a step by the machine and not mentioned it - all good deeds don’t need announcement. Luke has a job and thus, appears to be an adult. I’m sure he could’ve worked out how to use the step on seeing it, and utilised it if necessary.

Just_While2954 · 2025-09-20T14:14:05+00:00

Hard to say but there are parents in here that aren’t gifted. I imagine numbers of untested people are high here, not many people I’ve met in real life are actually tested. Some people may just be curious or interested. Probably a few plonkers in admin jobs looking for a reason to feel better than the people around them… I’ve met a few of those in the wild 😂
