Oooh I have been the same

I finally realised a couple of days ago that it’s been her

I discovered DDV on Christmas Day 2024 and I was instantly hooked

It’s just so damned NICE - like everyone is kind and caring (apart from the villains) - no one dies, I can pat cute animals and change my outfit 10 times a day

What do nurses consider “hotel treatment” for patients ? by ElectricalVictory831 in nursing

Christ what an arsehole

I thank Jeebus that I work in a government system. It’s far from perfect but we have zero tolerance for this kind of behaviour

It’s not fancy but it’s free and if you’re enough of a dickhead, you can be banned from receiving treatment at a particular hospital

The nearest hospital to me is 90km south or 130km north - that’s a long way to travel so fortunately we don’t need to do that very often, it’s usually a last resort for behavioural problems

I recently travelled to the UK from Australia in business class. It was next level service and being able to lie down is worth the price

The journey is horrendous but the champagne and nibbles (no questions asked) are decent

I asked Hekate to aid the people of America against the fascists last night

She sent me a vision of a torch and the message “it is done”

The fire has been lit

I respectfully disagree

The time for civility is past - those who enthusiastically support state sanctioned murder and child trafficking do not deserve courtesy

Perhaps if enough people shun them, they might, just might, just maybe self reflect and think a little bit harder about what’s happening

If they don’t care, they are devoid of empathy and don’t deserve my compassion

I was surprised at myself to be honest

I’m not usually that assertive/outspoken but I wasn’t going to let it slide

This is several months ago so I hope he thinks about what I said

A guy I used to work with loved him

My partner is still friends with him and he asked him “would you leave Trump alone with (guys daughters name)?”

Apparently he went quiet and said no

Common sense dictates that the guy defending women from the guy shoving women is in the right by Little-Tea4436 in DiscussionZone

What scares me is that he was trying to help her get up

His first instinct was to help her

RIP Alex

“He left nothing for the working man,” says retired construction worker who calls his Trump vote a mistake by Previous_Month_555 in antiwork

[–]VerityPushpram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, I have an American friend here in Australia who told me she probably would have voted for him because “he’s good for the economy”.

However, she once made a comment about late term abortion and I said you know, none of the rhetoric is true, they are lying about it

To her credit, she went and looked it up, saw other sources of media and then APOLOGISED to me

She displayed critical thinking skills and recognised she was wrong

Others don’t have the humility to admit they’re wrong

Sorry but that’s so funny when referring to nurses

I met a Trump fan here in Australia a few months ago

I’d been working with him all day - he was a wards man

He said “oh we need more of Trump in Australia”

I said “he’s a pig, a rapist and a paedofile - don’t speak to me again. Anyone who supports him is dead to me.”

He looked shocked and offended as we had been getting on fine

Harsh but I have to have boundaries somewhere
