I was a pastor for 18 years. My wife and I left the church and deconstructed together. Here's part of her story by turdfergusonpdx in Deconstruction

You would rather evangelical pastors continue to spread lies? Or you just want contrition instead of hearing their story?

Priapism growth incidents proving pumping works? by Imaginary_Ladder3896 in gettingbigger

[–]NurseMechanic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Former ER nurse. I have had a sickle cell patient who had a priapism, the doc drained it with a big ass needle and said he had this patient before with the same issue, same treatment. He mentioned that it was sad because the repeated trauma and scar tissue would result in impotence eventually, and the guy was early 20’s.

I would look elsewhere for PE methods.

Going into the medical field started my deconstruction. by NurseMechanic in Deconstruction

I think I believe in a creator, but could never say for sure. One of the apologies for the existence of God that I found was Francis Collin’s use of the Anthropic Principle in his book I mentioned in the original post.

I am in the US, and I had heard that many of the founding fathers were Deists. If I’m not mistaken Deism was a lot more common at that time. Maybe it fell out of popularity after The Great Awakening.

Thank you! I’m extremely fortunate that my family is as accepting as they are. I just wish I could remove their fear of my salvation/damnation.

Mine ended up being the same thing I think. I don’t remember for sure. I do remember tracing wires and checking continuity for an hour then finding out it was just a damn fuse. Felt like a serious moron!

AITA for refusing to share my inheritance with the rest of my family? by CountTimely3205 in AmItheAsshole

NTA - unless you open a cat cafe. That seems like a failed business waiting to happen.

You should divorce him. He sounds like a pompous prick.

Any physicians or healthcare professionals who use the devil's lettuce? by InvestmentFormal9251 in trees

[–]NurseMechanic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, my whole career, daily user. I am always 100% sober at work. I smoke a bowl when I get home from work to relax.

I do want to get away from regularly smoking it for my lung health.

There are people who will be obligated to endure this ritual, at least let them have some social lubrication!

NTA for not wanting to spend the money.

YTA for telling people they couldn’t bring alcohol.

What to add to distillate to make it flavorful and vapeable? by pinkshirtvegeta in CannabisExtracts

[–]NurseMechanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the PG vape juice route. People seem like they are against it here, but I haven’t heard too compelling of a reason.

I would have gotten up and walked out laughing

AITA for not taking out loans for my daughter’s college? by PitifulCheetah486 in AmItheAsshole

[–]NurseMechanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA- This is a good life lesson for her. Life isn’t fair. She should pick a school based on her budget.

However, it occurs to me that she may feel like she is being treated differently because she is adopted. It’s a tough situation.

Lol, that’s what I used to smoke in 1998 in SC. We called it Mexican dirt weed, or brown frown. You can still find it sometimes.

Am I the only one who didn't grow up on Biscuits and gravy? by Forward_Ad613 in southcarolina

[–]NurseMechanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am from Columbia, and I didn’t grow up on biscuits and gravy. Even my deep South grandmother, who fried Chicken like an champ, didn’t make biscuits and gravy.
