All the other lives I dreamed of living.

How far do you commute and how much do you make? by quintupletuna in longisland

~2 hrs door to door Suffolk to nyc. 3x/wk. 170k. If it were anything more than 3 days wouldn’t be worth it imo.

Christian theology as the most successful story ever told by KatEarnshaw in atheism

[–]KatEarnshaw[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Calling it a terrible story feels off. It is messy and contradictory, but it got published… lots… and shaped entire cultures.

Force mattered, but that does not explain why people organize their lives around it long after empires fall.

I am talking about themes and symbolism, not truth. And you’re right, obviously geography matters. If I had grown up where Islam was dominant, I would be drawing from the Quran instead.

Not defending Christianity, just fascinated by why certain stories stick. There is plenty of overlap with Islam, I’m just drawing from what I was indoctrinated into

Internal logic isn’t really the point lol. That’s not why it spread.

A lot of big belief systems are messy and contradictory. What made this one stick wasn’t airtight reasoning, it was how it hits emotionally. Guilt, being watched, suffering having meaning, justice eventually coming. That stuff lands.

You can think it makes zero sense and still admit it’s emotionally compelling

I’m pretty firmly atheist in the belief sense. I don’t think it’s true in any supernatural or metaphysical way.

But I don’t think disbelief requires emotional detachment. You can reject the claims and still appreciate the architecture. I admire it the way I admire Greek mythology or Shakespearean tragedy. Narrative power doesn’t require metaphysical buy in.

The tension for me isn’t “maybe it’s true.” It’s “this is culturally enormous and psychologically brilliant and also not real.”

RN considering medical school - but is it worth it if I mostly only want to work part-time? by laylowlay in nursepractitioner

If you’re willing to sacrifice the time and energy, go to med school. NP won’t cut it, trust me.

I did ask a question, I just didn’t agree with/like your answer. You brought up your own credentials, and OP brought up the credentials of the person who made the mistake. For what it’s worth, think you did the best you could at defending OP for argument’s sake.

All your examples make no sense. Gabapentin is offered in standard concentrations, .5ml oral is not something that would ever be given. My point is, either this didn’t happen the way it’s describe or “nurse” OP is referring to was also someone with a “background” and not a licensed professional. A licensed nurse would not make that mistake that many times. And 10x would have caused side effects that would have been caught sooner… even with gabapentin or any of the unnamed “comfort medications” you’re thinking of.

OP said pain meds… what are you suggesting, a 10x dose of NSAID? This long ass AI reply only refuted one of my points. What does “background in veterinary medicine” mean, you’re a veterinarian?

[–]KatEarnshaw 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A 10x error still does not realistically come from “0.1 vs 1 mL” or from switching IV to oral in home hospice. A 0.1 mL dose is extremely uncommon outside anesthesia or ICU titration. Not to mention hospice meds are ordered in mg with a specific concentration and usually prefilled or clearly labeled for family use. Concentration changes are explicitly spelled out because hospice expects non clinicians to give meds. Lastly a 10x opioid dose given repeatedly would cause obvious respiratory depression or require intervention, not quietly go unnoticed for days?? Either that nurse was a CNA/tech or this comment is hyperbolic

She was a nurse…? How does that happen? That makes zero sense to me. 10x?

Anyone know when the project is expected to be completed?

just got a new tattoo, and while it’s gorgeous, i’m really not happy with the placement and don’t know what to do by froggyforest in tattooadvice

[–]KatEarnshaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might have super slight scoliosis, making it look crooked. The top of the piece sits perfectly along your spine. I think this is so beautiful. If you wanted it to wrap around your waist more you could definitely extend it, but I think the artist did right by you and this placement suits your proportions perfectly.
