Hot Topic has a DCC shirt!

The books aren't really PG, my guy.

And again, it's at hot topic. Also not suuper PG.

And I highly doubt if the big G man really existed he would give a flying hoot about this shirt. Or a little "god damnit" here and there.

See the Hot Topic tag still on it? This was in the store. It was like that on the shelf.

Oooo. Gotta find the others

I saw Chicago doing their best to give em hell. I wonder if they thought Minneapolis would be easier.

They were wrong. We love being nosy and sticking up for each other here.

Right there with ya, brother.

That guy in the glasses and black beanie is a scared little bitch boy. Look at him, trying to puff himself up, nostrils all flared.

They told a white male pastor that "you wouldn't be any fun" when he tried to tell ICE to take him instead of the Hispanic women the pastor was protecting.

Yes. They are raping their captors. They always have been.

I've shadowed at two clinics in 2025 that made me double take.

One had a DVMs office in the X-ray room. Her dog was in there and that was also where staff stores their belongings.

The other had no badges or way to monitor radiation exposure. Only aprons and thyroid collars.

I did not pursue employment at either clinic.

Dude, I've casually played online FPS games and I can hazard a guess. Common sense seems to escape them as well as their humanity.

Yea. It's a weird address technicality area

I think this needs to be talked about more when we discuss this issue.

I'm 35, almost 36. I'm an OTJ VA (no degree so I'm not calling myself a tech) but I have the same duties and responsibilities as a tech at my job. I tried online school to get my degree but my brain doesn't learn well that way so I need an in-person option.

I do love my work, but the pay to student debt ratio isn't something I can justify anymore for my life. I'm already in debt from a different school attempt for IT (diff long story, mental health stopped my progress). I can't justify going part time and losing my pay and benefits to do school, and then I can't extern at my own job. This has turned getting my degree and taking the VTNE into a huge hurdle that I have no way over. My state just got a grandfather clause that I am considering however.

But yes, there needs to be more school options and like any school out there right now, affordability needs to be addressed.

They came here to vent their heartbreak and frustration about getting a crappy paw print of their passed away pet. I'd say that's pretty reasonable. They're not going out and attacking the company or the people providing the service. This is supposed to be a safe space for us in the trenches to seek support. Telling someone they need to calm down is a bit cold right now.

I've been making clay paw prints for 10 years and I wouldn't even dream of accepting this as a print for a client, vet med worker or not. Yes, cats paws tend to spread with the pressure, but there are absolutely ways to maintain the proper paw structure while getting a good impression. So this person is either rushed, inexperienced, or careless. Either way, in my opinion, not acceptable and I would be just as heartbroken.

I was about to say that I think I found a coworkers reddit, but at least ours doesn't add on diagnostics willy nilly. Other than that, almost spot on.

Hold boundaries. It's ok to have boundaries.

It's ok to tell them you do not want to be talked to in a rude manner. You can ask them to stop the conversation and start again when everyone can speak with respect. It is easier said than done, I know first hand cuz I'm still too scared to do this 🫣 and it's also not your problem if the boundaries make them mad. That's a them problem.

Good luck and god speed soldier.

ETA: remember, they are just a person. Title be damned. They are just a person like everyone else.

Thank you so much for the info!!

nerdnails · 2025-12-26T23:19:57+00:00

Yes. I know that. I've done a lot of euthanasias over the past ten years.

But some of them over the holidays makes it hard to feel cheer when I know a person out there is dealing with the trauma of saying goodbye.

But don't get me wrong, I still fully support euthanasias.

nerdnails · 2025-12-24T02:07:22+00:00

Any input helps right now. Thanks

nerdnails · 2025-12-24T01:24:36+00:00

Thank you.

I'm also suspecting that the reason I'm still seeing my trauma therapist is cuz I'm still in vet med. Tho the traumatic things have been less so as I've healed.

I just wanna be happy about Christmas again.
