Honestly at this point I just gave up and made this as a comm + wiki on db0. I can't distribute the videos embedded for people with poor internet (like in rural areas) but I've got a discussion comm with it too now:

I think I read somewhere that there are accounts of people complaining that learning to write would reduce students ability to memorize things. It's up there with old timey accounts of people complaining how the kids act these days and all the penises drawn on the walls of Pompeii on my list of ways humans hadn't fundamentally changed in the past 100,000 years. Other examples include:

• the amount of really freaky porn that's in the Bible

• some graffiti that was found in the rafters of an old Norse building that says something to the effect of "Olaf was here."

• Horrifyingly dangerous Historical beauty trends

When you get your shit together at the absolute last second...

One of the medical clinic nurses at the state Psych hospital I worked at would give any patient a condom if they asked and not tell anyone. Like. It was known to administration and it was one of her official responsibilities to do so, but she would not reveal who she gave them to or keep any records. We would absolutely stop them if we caught them but you can't always catch people before they make a wholeass new person.

Men love BPD chicks because we'll be obsessed with them and could suck the paint off a trailer hitch but they act all shocked when they realize they need Steve Irwin level animal handling skill to not get their face chewed off and that they might just get speared to death anyway. My guy, do you want to live life on the edge or not?

I actually do really really struggle in an N95. I dream of my only work PPE being my panic badge and occasionally some gloves.

My old unit was a COVID-psych unit for a bit except it's like. Illegal. to isolate people on a Psych unit for extended periods (with good reason). So you can't just tell them they have to stay in their rooms, you have to let them use the dayrooms. So we were just out in the unit in full ppe for 12 hours straight.

And then we started getting sicker COVID patients so I was trying to get this guy who had been wheezing for hours breathing properly before I gave him a bunch of sedatives at bedtime so I went to prop him up to breathe better except we don't have motorized beds in Psych we just have box beds. So I was carrying like 40lb of blanket rolls to his room to jam under the head of his mattress which I had to haul up into the air with him on it to get the rolls under it. And I'm doing this in full head to toe plastic bag gown with a face shield and an 95 plus a paper mask so that I can keep reusing the n95

and the doctor hasn't had time to call me back about getting him another inhaler and I'm swimming in my sweat under the plastic gown and I can barely see through the fog on the face shield (because n95s do let air EXIT around the edges of the mask). And then the dude just has a stroke anyway.

He lived, actually. The stroke team fixed him. They kept asking if I'd given any sedatives that might be affecting their assessment. Super proud that I got to say no it's the only time I've ever seen an RRT nurse impressed with me.

It's my signifier since gender means so little to me.

third dimension

NGL actually something I used while cataloging my notes on the influence of Christianity on western esoteric mystery traditions. I mostly just used it to organize and format things though. Most of the actual data came from outside sources. For instance it couldn't keep the translation correct when pulling up specific verses.

I say this to every coworker who asks why I have a car I rarely drive. It's honestly just less stressful to commute that way. Idgaf about the weirdos at the bus stop for the most part. 90% of them are high or drunk af passed out cleanly. Every once in a while I have to nudge them out of the way to sit but that's not usually an issue they just grunt and shift and they're usually too shitfaced to move in their sleep once they're out again. One is a lady who is always drunk af but awake and basically just uses the bus stop as a people watching spot and tells me neighborhood drama. There's a pair of northerners who are polite in a northerner way. There were a brother and sister who were sleeping there for a month but last I heard she found a job and I wished them luck and haven't seen them since. I've had a few really good philosophical conversations. One was a guy who had gotten his phone stolen and we chatted about the positive effects of increased mindfulness of the day to day and not being constantly observed and reachable by both your personal contacts and the faceless corporations. I got bothered by one guy but groundskeepers were hanging kinda close and the admins pass me on their way from their cars into the building I haven't seen him since so either the facility took care of it or the other inhabitants did. Sometimes I talk, sometimes I just eat my Bacon and biscuit from the cafeteria and drink some tea. I'm trying to listen my way through the Bible just to know what's in it. Right now I'm listening to the long long list of shit you're not allowed to do while living in an aggressive war tribe in tents the desert like shitting too close to camp or having sex that doesn't make more babies to keep fighting the other tribes. The cadence is weirdly chill almost seussian.

If it's a 2 lane per side road the best way to get them to pass you is to not break check them but just take your foot off the gas until they get frustrated enough to just go around but this contextually sounds like a single lane sitch which you are correct is dangerous.
