The funniest part to me is he was only intrigued by her because he couldn't read her mind. He should have known by the emotionless glazed look that there was nothing going on up there to read.
@therealkingwack
It has some pitfalls though! Many professionals go on to think "well this worked for me" or "I went through the same and I was fine" or whatever. It's sometimes hard to separate our own experience from a patients.
@OnlineAlison
Yeah this one pisses me off. Like, "TikTok influencer says..." totally loses me. Anything she says is for followers. If you don't like matching with 50 year old men, change your match requirements to, like, 19-48 or something
@everywhereist
My dad does that all the time. Shit like "I just don't think Jennifer Lawrence is attractive without makeup" as if she's battering down his door for a date. It's pissed me off so much since I was little. Even my six year old self could see it was misogynistic in so many ways.
@girlziplocked
I realized after joining the Army then later becoming a nurse, that it's far easier to get jobs hurting or oppressing in this world that jobs helping. I'll be paying off student loans for years, it's not right.
@fireh9lly
The one that broke me was "it's exclusionary to have social events planned around meals, because I have food intolerances." People have been gathering around food since the dawn of humanity! Seems more like self-centeredness than wokeness
@ItsDanSheehan
Just started playing online games again after several years away and realized how peaceful it is to just mute assholes. I used to get so riled thinking I had to speak to them. Guess I realized assholes will always be, so just ignore them and don't listen.
@thebutterknife
I ran into this last night. Woman was upset we were discharging her mom who shattered her shoulder. It would have sounded unsympathetic to say "blame COVID, the hospital is at 110% capacity, and we can't keep her in our full ER."
@kaiteasley
Yeah, then all these basic people on dating sites say "must have a good relationship with your mom" and shit. Clearly they've lived sheltered lives to not realize all people who pushed a kid out are making cookies and showering their kids with love.
@notorious_MARS
That'd be a bad-ass premise for a spy movie! Queer, gender non-conforming, goes into a bathroom looking one way, let's the hair down, throws on some lipstick, turns coat inside out, and walks out a different person...
@NateIsBack2
Was at work (at a night club) and this OKCupid date wanted to meet up. We were going to a bar after work so I said meet me there. She showed up on coke, meth, and drunk. Was outrageous, got kicked out. Ppl kept saying "your girlfriend..." I'd just met her for the 1st time!
@LibyaLiberty
Just after I moved to Canada and there was a mass shooting incident here and the media refused to name the shooter, but instead focused on the victims and what the world lost. So refreshing to see. Some people embrace "if you can't be famous, be infamous."
@caitoz
I was in the British Army when Iraq and Afghanistan kicked off, and one of the main reasons I got out was I saw the blatant lies and how we were expected to eat it up, no questions. No one could even tell me why we were invading. It's only gotten worse since then.
@zozagoon
My friend works at a care home and has one right now. Four husbands all dead from mysterious circumstances. Who has four spouses die naturally? No one.
@TreasChest
Still boggles my mind that we're talking about a private army fighting a countries battles for it...Not even just guarding embassies and refineries, actually doing the brunt of the fighting. Doesn't speak well of the Russian military! Hope it's not the way of the future.
@eliwilsonpelton
I've never done a Zoom meeting, but I feel like I'd forget I was on with real people and respond with my watching tv/watching porn persona😬
@TadhgHickey
I used to be a pro-Israel right wing Evangelical Christian years ago. It became harder and harder to maintain that world view, I was going to fringe sources for my "news". I had that exact moment. Thought "what if they're not all wrong, what if it's me?" Everything changed then.
@HadiNasrallah
I'm quite impressed by that level of expertise! If most people saw a bomb sitting there they'd have no idea what to do with it to make it work on demand
@jzellis
Here in Canada some of the richest, most popular real estate, the Okanagan, is quickly becoming unliveable due to regular heat waves, droughts, forest fires, and now unseasonably early frosts have decimated the wine industry. Wonder how long before people start abandoning it?
@DNArigged
They don't want any safe spaces for young ppl to express themselves. They want all gay and trans people to live in fear again. Back to the "good old days" where ppl were forced into the closet.
@davidcrosss
Up in Canada here, my brothers wife just had a baby, and he also gets 9 month paid paternity leave! That is how you make a country great, by supporting people so they can go on to be successful and pay more taxes later.
@ChelseaClinton
Canada has been testing around 10,000 people per day! Yet Americans still are believing the lie that universal healthcare has longer wait times and is less efficient.
@LexiAlex
It's a huge reality check to me, a White westerner, to see all the protesting and still the government does the exact opposite to the will of the people. Democracy truly is dead. All our countries are ruled by big money exclusively now
@brokeymcpoverty
Flirting. And realizing someone wants sex with me. They could be naked, fingering themselves, and I'll just think "I'm glad they're comfortable enough to do that in front of me. We must be good friends."
@abierkhatib
"No one will break us" as if they're under attack. They have such a victim complex! In their head they are the one bravely standing up to occupation and genocide. I can't wrap my head around how much of a bubble they must live in.
@jvn
Ugh, the Bernie bro's. Adopting every Republican conspiracy lie they can about the Democrats to paint their messiah as the only beacon of truth and justice. We don't need a other out of touch old man as President.
@dimitrilascaris
I'm so sick of Canada following whatever America leads like a beaten puppy. It'd be nice to have a real country, that isn't America's vassal.
@LibyaLiberty
I'm actually really broken by how many people don't care or refuse to see. Like it makes me not want to be in the world any more. How can I have a relationship with, say, my brother when he supports genocide?
@laurenduca
Those people that say "I only care about qualifications" are the ones that hold women to far higher standards than men, assuming an old white man is qualified while assuming a woman has no idea what she's doing until she does three times as much to prove herself.
@lauraolin
Gawd I love Prince. He was in his own world. Eddie Murphy's brother told an amazing story of getting owned by Prince at basketball. He didn't even get out of his Prince regalia!
@perlmutations
How they can be so dumb as to believe that one individual - with a long history of lying and cheating - is somehow right and the entire rest of the world is plotting against him, is unbelievable. Surely even the most deeply entrenched cult member sees through the lies eventually
@NOELreports
I gotta say, seeing the news from Bahkmut every day is a bit like watching Helms Deep in LOTR. Can't wait to see Ukraine take back their country.
@ellewasamistake
That came up just the other day, when a patient refused pregnancy meds because of "that med they gave pregnant women in the 60s" My mind immediately jumped to "children of thalidomide" but I didn't think they'd find it so funny
@ballerguy
Doesn't work over a certain age. I'm 38, so if someone I'm getting down with says she's a virgin I'm gonna slip out the back door when she's not looking so as to not end up married into a cult.
@jamesfactora
I lost a best friend because he kept posting ignorant shit about today's generation being stupidly concerned about the virus. I explained to him America is losing people faster than in WW2 and he got irate at being called out and broke off our friendship, after 25 years.
@clashreport
That's literally something Israeli soldiers did to Palestinians, it's well documented. Every accusation is a confession for these fascists.
@AssalRad
@NiallStanage
Why does anyone even go to these press conferences any more? Gotta put on clothes and leave the house to go get blatantly lied to every day...
@LexiAlex
Yeah people are too pacified both by desperation and distraction to ever rock the boat. And they're in constant fear of losing what little they have
@upholdreality
I grow more and more a supporter of China daily. Everything they say about western hypocrisy is true.
I don't even care if they're taking over my country any more, I welcome my new overlords. Better than the last overlords, anyway.
@GraffitiRadical
There seems to have been a sweet spot in time when filming their crimes actually mattered. Now you film them, they accuse you of being a commie and throw you in prison for exposing their crimes.
@PleaseBeGneiss
@DrakeGatsby
Turbotax, the one that waits right to the end, telling you the whole time it's "free" then hitting you with a fee if you want to file.
@FrankWaln
@AuntyCarpetWeed
I don't trust those things at all. They can just make it up! What are you going to do?
Half the time it seems an excuse for racists to be racist, saying "well I'm 10% African", or "I'm 1/10th Native, so I can say these things".
@yedoye_
I think about this all the time. I applied to private security jobs out of the military and wonder if I'd have been a henchman to some rich guy. Like, getting rid of the dead homeless he hunted or whatever, thinking "well the benefits are great". So glad I went a different way
@theafroaussie
@AssalRad
Israel keeps responding like an abusive husband, "look what you made me do to you". "If you'd just do what I say I wouldn't have to hurt you".
@TomJack20176306
That is verifiably untrue. American unemployment is at an all-time high, minorities are being attacked, murdered, and losing rights daily, and the economy and America's standing in the world are in shambles. All of that, and the huge death rate from Covid, are all Trumps fault.
@CTVNews
@ctv_shannon
Definitely not ok for anyone to push their religious beliefs on someone else, even if they do it under the guise of being an organization. If they want to provide healthcare in Canada, they should follow the laws.
@Rocket__Mac
@dannylegend10
@HowThingsWork_
Not really an issue. Most jobs like this offer a wage, and if you can do the job, you get the wage. Most of the wage gap is things like CEO and stock broker. Jobs really anyone can do, but there's this old bro code to it that keeps women out.
@abbygov
Then jack up your insurance cost as soon as you have to use it even once. I got rear ended at a red light by a drunk driver, the other guys insurance paid 100%, and the criminals still used it as an excuse to double my insurance. It's like the mob.
@LibyaLiberty
There were just a bunch posted around the University of Victoria up here in Canada as well. It's definitely due to Trump. He's enabled all the racists to crawl out from under their rocks and feel entitled to be racist again.
@JohnDiesattheEn
Why is it the only movie stuff I want to do is the sad stuff, like get yelled at by the chief and have to hand in my badge and gun, or sit in a trailer on a beach remembering my lost love, and swearing revenge...There's got to be something psychological there.
@ChelseaClinton
@HillaryClinton
I'm still scared what horrible things the donald will do with a month. Probably legalize rich people hunting poor people for sport or something.
@lebcommie
Worse, many I served with are rabidly racist now in order to defend (accidentally) killing civilians in Iraq & Afghanistan. They can't see them as people with equal right to life, or the weight of that will crash down on them.
@Goss30Goss
They actually have jumbled the facts so much in their heads that Trump apparently is the most patriotic, pro-military President ever, and it was actually Obama that constantly disrespected the military...You think their colour plays a part in that perception?
@GeneralGoth
@bimbomarxist
What's really frustrating is I've been poor my whole life, esp in school. Now am making good money as a nurse, more than my dad ever made supporting a family of 3, and I can't afford a shoebox to live in. Something very wrong with that system.
@realrobdurden
Pro-Israel can't run out of money, they'll just take it from American taxes meant to be spent on education or bridge repair or clean water...
@The_Rae_Girl
Unfortunately many have made big money in the oil patch without having to grow as people since high school. As a result they seem stunted in that mentality
@MistressSnowPhD
I have a few teacher friends and it makes me see my childhood in a whole new light. We used to think anyone over 30 was boring...Turns out we just didn't know how to really live! Sounds like you've figured that out😄
Wow,
#AngelinaJolie
has become one kick-ass director! Her movie about Bosnia was incredibly powerful, and now I just watched one called "First they killed my father" about a little girls experience under the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. It was incredibly done and so emotional.
@vivafalastin
Yeah when they compartmentalize it and accuse us of being "single issue voters" for caring...Like, it's not just another issue like whether to tax more to fix potholes. It's supporting ethnic cleansing! Yeah it's the main issue for me.
@ClintSmithIII
@rabiasquared
I'm absolutely disgusted that America has such a broken system that murderous war criminals can get off free because a tyrant wants them to. The entire justice system is a joke.
@SMohyeddin
I've been looking everywhere for a chance to deploy there as an ER nurses, but so far haven't found any organizations that can use an English only speaker
@YEVGEN1YA
Have you heard of the AESHA project in Vancouver? It’s a longitudinal research project where public health dr’s, nurses, social workers, etc interview and follow sex workers, and the info they gain is used to write laws, policy, etc. It’s all word of mouth to get volunteers...
