“We have learned nothing in twelve thousand years.”
― Pablo Picasso

That’s an almost perfect way to describe how it makes me feel — though that statement’s a little more profound than just ‘awesome’ lol

I’m absolutely going to check-out all the info you linked, and thank you. I just got off work this morning and will undoubtedly end up going through it… cause it’s still blowing my tiny little brain a bit someway. One of the coolest things I’ve learned in a while

Holy shit… that is incredible. Thank you for the insight! I never knew and am at a bit at a loss for words — just… awe

I’m a nurse working in a large hospital. I did ICU nursing for almost 8 years, and now I’m a “float pool” nurse… which means they send me to whatever unit needs help that shift (Except pediatrics. That’s not my gig, and our pediatrics has a separate Children’s Hospital anyway).

Every day is a new adventure. I might be working in one of the ICU’s (Neuro, Cardiac, Surgical, Medical), or I could be on any of the other floor units (Med-Surg and such). Currently on a Nephrology unit, cursing the fact that I scheduled myself to work the night that time rolls back an hour. So it’ll be a little over a 13 hour shift tonight :(

But it’s hard to say what a typical day looks like. Lots of charting, time management, monitoring, and critical thinking… as well as the physical aspect of patient care. It’s definitely interesting and I love it. But it can also be draining (physically, mentally, and emotionally), so ya gotta make sure to maintain your own balance too

Their head is, at least. The clawed feet can get rather… “scratchy” though

Mmmm… there’s nothing quite like warm, pumpkin pie

Their mom definitely got it… Slam! with the alley-oop!

I got the “Robert Sponge Rectangle Slacks” version from Spirit Halloween… but it doesn’t hold water when pissing myself :(

Never enough

Hey, congratulations! We just made nine years over here too

First I’ve heard of this. “Better to keep your mouth shut and seem stupid — rather than open it and remove all doubt”. Elon really is a massive dipshit

They’re still in use at most banks where I live. Most hospitals use them too; way faster than dumbwaiters

Damn, I haven’t thought about those in a long time

Ahh, completely forgot about that one

My Chemical Romance — the first two albums at least, wasn’t a fan of “Black Parade”

I kinda forgot about them, but same. “Frakenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy” got a lot of plays from me when I was in highschool

song called 5 what now?

Wait, which song are you referring to? For the life of me, I can’t remember

Russia is part of the Asian continent

I uhh… I do sometimes wear gloves when cooking at home. Mainly for handling raw meat (especially mixing ground beef and such; helps keep it from getting underneath my nails). I’m still washing my hands after taking the gloves off, but they’re much easier to wash when they’re not coated in fat and raw meat juices

How many people who drink alcohol can say that?

Thank you. When I was in my college days, I used to get bursts of horrible anxiety while tripping — wondering what the hell I would do if someone called me with an emergency. I got over that by realizing how many times I had been way too drunk, and would have been in the exact same predicament if someone called me with an emergency.

It helped me put a lot of perspective into it and not only stopped that anxious thought while tripping, but also created an awareness that helped me to enjoy (conscious-altering) recreations more safely

Question: I bought my phone unlocked several years ago. I have AT&T. But apparently, because I didn’t buy it from AT&T, my visual voicemail refuses to work

I’ve tried and given up several times to fix it, and it’s not a huge deal; I just miss being able to check my voicemail without calling it.

Do you happen to know anything about this? Every “fix” I’ve found has failed so far
