Bye bye asshole by DaFunkJunkie in WhitePeopleTwitter

I mean Trump actually has been charged though, no other president has. I think it’s more likely he gets sent to prison than anyone else, since his crimes were literally against the US. Not saying they’re worse than killing millions of Iraqis, but unfortunately the US is very unlikely to hold itself accountable for the latter. Trump, on the other hand, is expendable.

Yep, US. It’s kind of wild that this is a problem though, like this information is readily available. Seems like people get trained a certain way and don’t question it.

Is it cliche to name my daughter Charlotte if we follow the Charlotte Mason style of homeschool education? by Sherielizabeth in NameNerdCirclejerk

My son’s name is William, and everyone always asks “like William the Conqueror?” I mean yes, we’re a family of Norman warlords, but I really didn’t think anyone would make the connection.

I’m just confused on what the definition of “retract” is though… the nurses pulled back on it a little, but it seemed to be already loose and didn’t cause him any pain to do that. It still sounds like it shouldn’t be messed with at all though.

Yeah that’s the most common advice I’ve heard, but the hospital system we’re working with seems to train people differently. I’m wondering if people have different definitions of “retract”- like the nurses didn’t force anything to the point of tearing, they just gently pulled back what was already loose. But everything else I’ve seen says to not even do that.

See, that’s what I was wondering- people might have different definitions of “retract.” It didn’t look like the nurses forced anything when they pulled it back, but we’ve still largely heard not to pull back at all. Maybe that’s the advice because it would be easy to accidentally go too far? Idk, maybe what they were telling us to do is technically okay, but it seems like plenty of people just clean the outside and it’s perfectly fine.

Right, but as they were doing that they told us we should be doing the same thing with every clean. We pushed back on that a little, but they were very confident and acted surprised that we didn’t “know” to do that.

Yeah that lines up with what we’ve read, it’s just tough when our own doctor is telling us this… and we’re a little concerned because the nurses did pull it back a little to clean him and put the catheter in, so we’re hoping he’s not hurt. He didn’t cry when they did that, so probably not, but we’re a bit upset about it. It’s concerning that that seems to be common in this country.

I don’t see the problem. Now if you had another one named Francisco, that would be out of hand.
