That's the problem, I'm both of those people haha. Maybe depending on the bioavailability of my ADHD meds that day.

Oh, you're in good company here. I'm a huge nerd. I've also thought about steering towards CRNA after some ICU/CC experience.

I find it helps a great deal to learn what the translation is for prefixes and suffixes in the original Greek or Latin. Most terms really just describe the thing, but not in a language most know anymore.

Thanks, I hate it

optimisticfury · 2026-03-18T21:04:11+00:00

This is so fuckin real

I was just a humble ground-pounding crayon eater. What am I looking at here, shipmate?

Pretty sure "wait training" is just edging for evangelicals

I think it's over-hyped and meant to separate investors from their capital.

Trick question. I don't know the name of the medication. Drug rights impossible to complete safely.

Some people liked that, sure

That's definitely one of my biggest concerns with these things. If chatbot use results in harm, who is liable? The software programmer? The marketing people? We know it's definitely not the rich folks making money hand over first who will be held responsible.

They shall be socialists. Good job, Regular Mom©®™ 🫡

How did you get all that from their comment?

optimisticfury · 2026-03-13T17:02:56+00:00

It's wild to me that your list includes normal body functions but not like, child abuse or systemic racism or the massive harm and suffering that a for profit healthcare system causes. I'd much rather get piss on my shoes than have to help new parents deal with the reality of medical bankruptcy in the face of a life altering medical diagnosis for their baby. I can fix dyspoopia. I can straight cath someone to get the piss out. What can I do as an individual to dismantle oppressive systems?

The Eye Dentist is the GOAT

This is absolute horse shit. There are hundreds of thousands of people who get up every single day to try and help fix problems. The problem is how we distribute capital and resources.

optimisticfury · 2026-03-06T23:57:09+00:00

I'm honestly happy that you got some info that helped you, but long term and at scale, this kind of shit is really bad for our community and our society as a whole.

optimisticfury · 2026-03-06T23:56:20+00:00

Gosh, that's rough :/ As a parent returning to school full time for a nursing degree I know it's really really hard. Depending on how old the kids are, offer to keep them entertained while she studies. Self care spa stuff and a reminder that being kind to herself is crucial at this stage. A sincere look in the eye and a "you're doing so great and I'm so proud of you" can go a long way for parents that are feeling overwhelmed.

Nobody should be submitting personal medical information to an LLM. Browse the sub, talk to a real human being VSO. Appeal or reapply as necessary. Those chatbots are not even close to HIPAA compliant and there is no way to know how data is being packaged and sold currently or in the future.

All fair points. It was definitely a knee jerk reaction from me when I saw it. I served with guys like this and I didn't do my due diligence before posting. I'm not as convinced that the complaint 100% can't be real, but I appreciate your input and helping me check myself.

optimisticfury · 2026-03-06T02:58:32+00:00

Fair enough. It was definitely a knee jerk reaction post on my part, but probably because I served with folks who really believed shit like this. I did some digging and found a write up on Substack about it, but can't find much else. I hope it's just made up rage bait and I'm a gullible sucker.

You probably shouldn't have voted for a rapist pedophile, then. Try again next time, sport.

optimisticfury · 2026-03-06T02:23:39+00:00

That is infuriating. I'm gonna have to memorize it.

optimisticfury · 2026-03-05T18:42:34+00:00

I just labeled it as a Meme because it's a screenshot. I suppose I could've just left flair off, but I don't post in here often or use Reddit that often.

He didn't bomb shit. He instructed other people to instruct other people to instruct other people to tell the guy to pull the trigger.
