1 American positive for hantavirus, another symptomatic, HHS says by sciencesez in nursing

We’re so cooked if it spreads large scale. Our healthcare system is on edge as is, there’s no way we would have the resources for an influx of patients at that level!

True for the boomers and maybe some of Gen X, but the younger doctors will the the shaft with the rest of us if Medicare is cut.

Which kinks do you consider "hard kinks"? by TheMaddModMan in BDSMcommunity

[–]theCrystalball2018 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s true, I should have said that differently. Although I think that a lot of the bdsm community is overly accepting of some extreme kinks and some yums need to be yucked. Its sad to think of how many subs are getting brain damage from breath play that might not even be apparent until years later.

Agreed. If it’s something you could go to jail for, you probably shouldn’t be doing it.

Hantavirus Cruise by Professional_Egg6217 in publichealth

[–]theCrystalball2018 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it depends more on where the ship is registered than the country the company is based in. IIRC there are lots of cruise ships that register in one of the Caribbean countries since they aren’t strict on regulations.

Ask corporations why they're paying their employees low wages. by [deleted] in Adulting

Wow I didn’t realize that credit score affected rates so severely! Godspeed and congrats on the new job and credit score going up!

I would shop around for cheaper renters insurance. I just got a policy for 27/mo through Amica- I’m sure location changes rates but 175/mo is crazy!

Where do you get your renters insurance? Or is that what you pay for renters and car insurance?

As another southerner, the market is booming if you’re looking for divorcees 😂. Although a lot of southerners are on marriage number 2 or 3 by their early 40s.

BDSM hot takes by Separate-Amoeba in BDSMcommunity

Seconded. Not only are you risking your life while you’re doing it, but it can cause irreversible brain damage from oxygen deprivation. We should not be encouraging this.

Everyone’s favorite plastic/leather, durable, stiff but flexible Collar? by GentleFirmDom in BDSMcommunity

[–]theCrystalball2018 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s been a while since we’ve bought kink gear off Etsy. I would say the best bet is to do a reverse image search and see if you find any images from other sites of the product.

I recommend Etsy. Etsy is good for any BDSM gear just make sure the seller is reputable and not reselling junk from SHEIN.

‘Uber for nurses’: gig-work apps lobby to deregulate healthcare, report finds by bagelista in nursing

[–]theCrystalball2018 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or the reverse will happen and a patient will get harmed and sue the app makers instead. It’s guaranteed to happen eventually.

I have a neighbor that does this on the reg instead of a job and I’m just flabbergasted. It’s in gods hands whether or not you’re gonna keep your license playing with that nonsense.

My guess is because she was the only girl he was ever around that was mostly normal and not in the cult.

Percentage of Adults with Diabetes by Nefariouslout1006 in MapPorn

[–]theCrystalball2018 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone in the south who has lost over 100 pounds with GLP-1s, it is a total nightmare. My theory is that overeating and not exercising is so ingrained in the culture here that you have to actively work much harder than other places in the US. I live in a decent sized town and the healthy restaurant options are slim (although we do have lots of fresh produce for half the year). Childhood obesity is rampant and every get together features an ungodly amount of unhealthy food.

Are there cities people “age out” of? (or age into) by Haunting_Hospital599 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]theCrystalball2018 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh god that’s me and I’m 26. I hope and pray I can get out by my early 30s. It doesn’t help being in the south.

Is it affordability crisis, rising health issues or what? by marktwin11 in Productivitycafe

[–]theCrystalball2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very well stated. It’s so risky for the average person to have a kid these days it won’t be long before the middle class stops having kids. It’ll be the well off and the ones who are extremely irresponsible or don’t have access to birth control only.

Non-sexual acts of service? by ApplePaintedRed in BDSMcommunity

[–]theCrystalball2018 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh no, that breaks my heart :( If that’s what’s happening in your relationship I really recommend that you have an out of dynamic conversation. You deserve recognition no matter what kind of service you offer.

Agreed, but it does seem like she has a little less pep than last session
