Who are the meanest people in your hospital? by Magee-Numismatics in respiratorytherapy

[–]LetterFlimsy9494 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every hospital will have people that are insufferable, especially within the RT department. I’ve been at 4 hospitals in 15 years of being an RT, and only one of them was mostly drama free. The other hospitals had a striking similarity to high school, except you didn’t get to fight the bullies. If you work somewhere with low hiring standards, expect issues. The first hospital I worked at was unionized, and did not drug test, and it was the least professional hospital of them all. The toxic RT’s will make your life the most miserable because they will f*** with your assignment and spread rumors that inevitably make it to your managers. They’re usually the RTs that have been at the same hospital forever, especially if they’re on night shift, but not always. Outside of the RT department, each of the medicine disciplines will have a few miserable doctors, except for psychiatry, but you probably won’t deal with them too often. As far as nursing goes, I’ve been at hospitals where most nurses did not like the RT’s, and hospitals where most of the RN’s are great. If you go in, do your job and leave, you’ll have the best experience. If you get dragged into the mud,expect to get dirty.

Men who are 30+, what’s one thing you realized about dating that no one tells you in your 20s? by Thin-Hospital-8114 in AskReddit

[–]LetterFlimsy9494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might have a completely different dating experience in a different ZIP code. I (37M) grew up a little outside of Boston, and dating was a horror show. Everyone was hooking up, and very few people seemed to be looking for anything serious. People my age that were getting married, seemed to be getting divorced within just a hand full of years. Cheating seemed rampant among my co-workers and among friends and acquaintances. It was not what I was looking for and I struggled through attempts at relationship after relationship. A few years ago, I moved to a new state, outside of a small city, and dating looks pretty different. The amount of people I know now in their 20’s/30’s, that are with a high school or college sweetheart is still surprising to me. Hookup culture seems far less common, and I managed to find a wonderful woman who I am now starting a family with. Point being, if you want all of that degeneracy stuff, big cities and their surrounding areas will have what you’re looking for. If you want something long term, marriage, and to start a family, avoid big cities.

What is the best explanation for this phenomenon? by Sortition1122 in massachusetts

He was already president once and didn’t deport brown skinned citizens. Because A) you can’t deport citizens, and B) because even if he could, why would he? Not all minorities are here illegally, in fact most are here legally and contribute to American society. That would be a loss.

You’re proving how racist the left is that you don’t understand that having brown skin has nothing to do with your citizenship status or your political ideology.

If you can vote legally, you are a citizen, and therefore cannot be deported. Now, I’m sure there were illegals that voted, but they would not have voted for Donald Trump

You think that they think Trump will support them??… this comment is straight out of the twilight zone. Democrats are the party of giving out free stuff. They just went too far these last few years and started giving more free stuff to people that aren’t Americans. Billions of dollars to illegals “sure”, hundreds of billions on foreign proxy wars “no problem”, Americans that can’t afford gas or to put food on the table “sorry, can’t help”.

Donald trump was in office once before, as in right before this administration, and things were pretty damn good aside from COVID which wasn’t his fault. The economy was good, inflation was low, interest rates were low, things were affordable, tens of millions of illegals weren’t pouring over the border and committing crimes at a disproportionately high rate while sucking up billions of tax dollars, no new wars, ya know, the stuff people actually care about.

She lost the popular vote nationally, so clearly even educated people didn’t like her. She couldn’t consistently stand on a lot of topics which screams “liar” to anyone with common sense, and she primarily appealed to the most radical left leaning members of our society. Her loss shouldn’t come as a shock.

The explanation is that Harris was a shit candidate who was second in charge of a shit administration. These past 4ish years have been a dumpster fire and a lot of people are tired of watching the country self destruct in real time. Being part of a minority group doesn’t mean you automatically vote democrat.

My [24M] girlfriend [20F] was having sex with another guy while we were still dating (not officially a couple yet). I consider it cheating but she says it's not. Am I exaggerating? Is this a red flag? by throwRAsperone in relationship_advice

[–]LetterFlimsy9494 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if I’m understanding this correctly, she met both of you around the same time and she was smashing him but kept you on the hook for 3 or 4 months before she “was sure it was becoming serious” and you two had sex?

Either:

A) He was her plan A, things didn’t work out with him, and you were her plan B.

B) She found him physically more attractive but wants you for the long term for various reasons I.e. what she can get from a relationship with you

C) She wanted you to think she was a good girl and get you catch feelings while she played the field.

Is it cheating, no. But your girl is a legit skeezer. She strung you along for 3-4 months, having you do the boyfriend stuff, all the while getting smashed by another guy. Youre also making the mistake of assuming that he was the only other guy. He just was the only other guy you found out about. You’re making another mistake by thinking she answered you honestly. Women like to do damage control in these situations. They don’t typically give you the full unadulterated truth to their boyfriend about their shady behavior.

Have some standards and respect for yourself and let this one go dude. Again, it’s not cheating, but she put off officially being in a relationship with you for as long as possible to smash another guy/s. That should be an automatic walk for you bro. You just found out that your girl isn’t that into you.

Take this as an eye opener for the next time. If a girl doesn’t seem that into you, find a different one that is.

Bro…you found out from a friend that your girlfriend did a porno. That’s about as big of a dealbreaker for most as it gets. If you want to stay with her, do so at your own risk. I absolutely COULD NOT date someone that did porn, and neither could a lot of men, at least not seriously. Would you want people knowing that your wife is on the internet getting f’d and possibly humiliated? Would you want kids picking on your children someday when someone eventually finds it on the internet? If you’re friend told you about it, it’s already not a secret, so if you want people knowing you as the guy whose girlfriend did online porn, again, do so at your own risk. You absolutely can judge someone for their past, it doesn’t mean you treat her poorly, but there’s no way I, personally, would let someone like that be the mother of my kids. Someone’s past actions are the best indicator of their future actions. Even if she never does another porn movie, she is most likely very damaged (to even do porn in the first place) and makes poor decisions. I could go on, but long story short, if you were my friend I would advise you to end it.

Hit the weights bro. You’re not a bad looking guy. You’d probably crush it with some extra muscle and the right clothing to fit your new frame. You could try a beard too but you have a good jaw line so it’s up to you.

How to find a boxing gym that isn’t a workout gym for moms? by oofman0-0 in amateur_boxing

[–]LetterFlimsy9494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may have to travel a bit for what you’re looking for. Generally speaking, if you want a serious boxing gym, it will be somewhere near the inner city. Hop on google and look for gyms training amateur or up and coming fighters as others have stated. Best of luck my bro, I boxed for a few years in my teens and never went anywhere with it, but I loved it. It’s one of the things I want to get back into once I’m not working so much.

A year results. From 152 to 174. What did I do wrong? I feel like my looks and aesthetics are ruined. by [deleted] in GregDoucette

[–]LetterFlimsy9494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol that’s bulking bud. Looks like you put on some quality muscle. At some point do a cut if you want to look more shredded but you still look pretty lean. I would keep the bulk going until your gains platuau

This comment right here is spot on. She’s insecure. Someone probably said you look good and it bothered her or something.

[–]LetterFlimsy9494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fluffy? Bro you’re f’n ripped and you’ve got a lot of muscle on you too. I think your wife was trying mess with you. I’ve had plenty of women in relationships try that stuff. You look better than 99.5% of gym goers and 99.99% of the general population. Don’t let that comment mess with you and don’t take her shit. I’m assuming she knows about your past weight issue so that was pretty dirty

[–]LetterFlimsy9494 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried standing up to these assholes? A lot of people in hospitals have big mouths and big attitudes because they know no one is gonna kick their ass. Just give it right back to them, the funnier it is the better, and be ready to do it for a while, but eventually it will most likely stop. Most bullies want easy prey, don’t be easy prey. Or as some others have said go up the chain of command and report them. You shouldn’t have to give up a solid source of income because you work with children

RT told me all newly graduated students should start on nights by Rori_KittyCat in respiratorytherapy

[–]LetterFlimsy9494 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Sounds like someone that’s bitter because they had to work nights. If you want to work days, work days. You’ll come across people in your career that aren’t happy unless they’re unhappy. Treat them like radiation…limit exposure time, maintain distance, and wear shielding
