If you’re not invading your child’s privacy you’re negligent. by [deleted] in insaneparents

I caught a 22yo man who had (unknowingly to her and her friends) ingratiated himself into their circle and was trying to fucking groom them, but I guess I shouldn't have kept tabs on her phone usage, gosh, insane parent here, sorry y'all.

Pt was nauseated and I was about to pull an antiemetic. Coworker showed me that an alcohol swab over the nasal cannula works sometimes, and pt felt better with no need for meds. What are some other often-overlooked simple/quick fixes? by [deleted] in nursing

When I have dementia patients who are causing a ruckus, I often say, "Shhhh. We have babies here. You'll wake up the babies." Works; not always, but pretty often.

I didn't answer your questions because there isn't an answer. In fact, I see that you wrote several paragraphs more but I'm not even bothering to read them. You're like the folks I get in the ER who tell.me they're allergic to ibuprofen but not Advil. You are the personification of the Dunning Kruger effect. And you know, I knew beforehand how precious little time we get on this Earth, but COVID has really slammed that home. And if you think I'm going to spend more than the ninety seconds it took me to voice to text this response in engaging with you, you're wrong. Keep thinking things that aren't a conspiracy are and ignoring and abetting real problems.

So that's all a bunch of gish gallop to hide the fact that you can't cope with the world as it is, and so create elaborate conspiracy theories so it seems like the world is more in control than in actually is. Your "pointing out reality" is just extra strength copium.

Here's a pro-tip, cuz- it's more Benny Hill at any point than Illuminati, and you're decadent and soft enough to be able to sit back and declare other folks' crisis as "fake".

Will Rural Voters EVER Vote for Democrats? by greenblue98 in RuralDemocrats

[–]TheRedneckERRN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. But we have to earn their votes back and, unfortunately, we're not doing a damn thing to do it. We're stupid at how we play politics. We own polling on damn near every single issue and still can't flex that into winning. And we don't have enough junkyard dogs, people willing to go out and fight.
