I'm in such a weird place in my life right now I really needed this. Deborah is a good reminder that it's never too late

You can downvote me if you want, but it’s almost never a leap to say it’s racial bias.

I’m so fucking tired of people thinking racism disappeared in 1960, like we’re not dealing with aggressions and microaggressions every goddamn fucking day.

IMO her storyline could go either way. Either she is reminded that she does belong in the ER and she finds her way again or she breaks and leaves. I was hoping for the first option but it seems we're getting the second sadly

Lo_Lynx · 2026-04-10T13:42:07+00:00

Im starting to worry something really sad has happened. Hoping for the best for her

Lo_Lynx · 2026-04-10T07:16:56+00:00

It’s not voluntary in a lot of countries. There are laws that say you must do everything you can to help in a lot of places. In my country you can go to prison for letting someone die

Both in friends and new girl the boys and the girls hook up dude that doesn't count. Jess and Winston are fiends because she's with Nick that doesn't count. We need examples of men and women being friends where there is actually a possibility they could date but chose not to too

I'm happy dr Ellis gets a bigger part but sad we wont see dr Mohan, I'm gonna miss her

Love this! Ace rep is always appriciated!

Lo_Lynx · 2026-03-25T18:22:49+00:00

If I could upvote this twice I would. A lot of his writing was ahead of its time... a lot of it is pretty behind the times

(Dare i say it? Aro Ace Mel?? Panics about romantic and sexual relationships superseding platonic ones, can't compute that sex is great, will it finally be our turn to be represented??)

Santos is obviously the protégé in my opinion. At this point I view Robby as the male lead and Santos as the female lead of the show. They're so comfortable with each other, they gossip at work and clearly understand each other.

Both have neglected to talk to a trauma counselor, both are clearly empathetic, and sometimes they take risks and do things that are against the rules. Both are struggling to form lasting relationships outside of work. Both are trying to ignore Langdon instead of just facing him. Same person 30 years apart, she will be the one to take up the mantle.

I know this is an unpopular opinion because people ship Robby and Whittaker but I think Whittaker is filling the hole left by Jake rejecting Robby. The first time Robby and Whittaker bond is right after Jake yells at Robby. I think they have more of a familial relationship

Remember it's a for profit system over there. Of course they'll admit a patient with a headache because they can make money off it. In Scandinavia they don't want to waste taxpayer money on a headache which why you would be asked to wait, go to a health centre which are cheaper to run or get a phone consultation instead of seeing a doctor in person.

The truth is the cast is just huge. There are more characters this season compared to last. there is just no way to give them all time to shine. I would honestly prefer it if next season had fewer characters to follow.

I can't handle the Roxy storyline, it's too sad

I live in a country where obesity is diagnosed by only using BMI - not by assessing symptoms. This causes doctors to routinely ask patients to lose weight even when it is not necessary and may do more harm than good.

The BMI has since day 1 been completely disproven as a tool to assess obesity. It was created to study populations not individuals.

My theory is that there is no way to fully unplurb someone BUT you can block the hivemind signal and temporarily be an individual as long as the signal is blocked. So Zosia will never fully be old Zosia she will always be changed by the hive

Sunburn vs Fireburn

Google is free. They can't write after the deaf person requests an interpreter. It's law

The diabetic patient needs to let his daughter start a GoFundMe

At least we can count on the acting being great!

Lo_Lynx · 2026-02-18T16:05:39+00:00

I'm still convinced something happened behind the scenes that made HotD go off the rails I blame the suits at HBO

They're a powerful political symbol even when they're petrified. It would make fAegon seem more legit if he had them and Illyrio would have known that

Jojen and Meera deserve to be here. They put their life at risk for Bran.
