agertudici,

thank you! sorry I’m just poor and trying to find a thought to count!

agertudici,

Well here’s my worst: I relapsed after having dropped my tolerance and the EMTs scraped me out of a ditch and took me to my job, although thank God I don’t work in the ED. Apparently I said something to the effect of “just let me die” which wound up getting me a babysitter (suicidaldrunksitter?) and wound up having to talk to a pgy-2 who very clearly (and nervously) recognized me. Fortunately my hospital is relatively with it on the evidence-based-practice even in behavioral health so he knew to wait until I was sober again to do a full assessment, because that would’ve been a whole week down the drain in grippy sock jail.

agertudici,

IME it comes back quickly if you ease back in but if you just go out to the bar and knock back 6 shots at once like you used to the EMTs very much will be scraping you out of a ditch. That’s how most experienced addicts OD, by not thinking about it and remembering to slow the fuck down with their dosing after holding together sobriety for a while.

agertudici,

I think polyamory is an immutable part of someone’s sexual orientation as much as the gender preference spectrum (homo/heterosexual) and the intensity/situationalness (ace/gray-ace/demi). I think some people just naturally see sex and intimate relationships as something they can do openly with multiple people and some people just don’t. I think it will become more acceptable for the people who see sex that way to find each other and express their love that way, the same as with all the other sexual relationships between consenting adults are becoming more acceptable. But the same way it would be silly to say we’ll all be homosexual eventually I don’t think we’ll all be poly someday either.

agertudici,

Addictions often stem from a lack of stimulating activities or connection to others. The recent retirement supports this, as he would have lost both at that time. So he needs to get into some hobby that’s less likely to leave him homeless, but that is gonna fill those needs. You gotta find him somewhere to go that’s outside the house that he can:

  1. mostly rest/vegetate
  2. occasionally get rewarded
  3. do either alone or with a trusted friend
  4. consume mind altering substances while vegetating (usually alcohol)

With all this in mind I now realize why there’s so many jokes about old dudes fishing. Do with that what you will.

But yeah. You should start some kind of multi generational hobby club for how to sit around and all be dudes together. There’s probably some younger men out there who missed that part during COVID too so like. And figure out some activity that’s not going to be horribly boring to the younger adults that won’t be horribly overstimulating to the older adults.

I’ve always thought the answer to the whole men’s mental health crisis we’re seeing today (I work in inpatient mental health) was getting men to connect better with each other in addition to women. A lot of guys say they weren’t taught to talk about their feelings which means not only are they losing a lot of opportunity for emotional validation, but they’re losing that validation from where it would matter most; the people most like them. I say this because a bunch of young male patients keep asking me for life advice and I’m like bruh we both know nothing I say is gonna make a lick of sense I wasn’t raised in that box.

agertudici,

Less restrictive environment so it takes us a second to get it reported. I wonder if lemmy has or could have a 30 day limit until you can interact with outside instances. Seems like a cool feature for federation in general. Would make it harder to make spam accounts.

agertudici,

Wait do you know about “Will You Help Me Repair My Door?” or the Lawsuit?

agertudici,

No I did it because the comment suggested it and it seemed like a cool idea. When someone programs a wholeass bot just to make it easy for me to be nice, I’m much obliged.

agertudici,

Not true! You also have to be significantly lucky. I’ve met plenty of egocentric psychopaths who are stuck in small-time hustles and utterly pissed about it.

B.C.'s health-care crisis: First look at massive markups by 'parasitic' staffing industry (bc.ctvnews.ca)

The contracts between the province’s health authorities and 16 for-profit companies detail massive markups for the provision of health-care workers – from nurses to X-ray technologists to occupational therapists – who are now propping up the faltering public system. Sources tell CTV News anywhere from a quarter to nearly...

agertudici,

Not as much as the residents actually. The longest I’ve ever had to work was 16 hours, but most jobs I’ve worked 12 is the max required in a row. Residents often work 24-72 hour shifts where they can be woken up by a page at any time.

What's the word or area of math for a subset within a larger set of paired objects are mixed in a rotated fashion and the number of moves it takes to match all the pairs in the total set partially dep (lemmy.ml)

I feel like this has to be a math/logic thing that has a name already and I wanna know what it’s called so I can look it up when I’m no longer extremely drunk....

agertudici,

MF having tias right the fuck up on the stage, lol. They’ve probably got him on anticoagulants since the first one but it probably doesn’t take a big clot to fit through his arteries at this point. I can’t imagine the amount of sclerosing and HTN is present in an excessively rich and exceedingly old white man. Wonder how much syphillis he’s caught from 14 year olds.

agertudici,

In my defense, not seeing any buildings bigger than a barn until you’re about ten, and not many more until 16 then going to NYC on a girl scout trip did almost cause a panic attack.

agertudici,

Oh my algorithm is FUCKED because I’m so insanely curious.

So first of all I’m always googling stuff from medical procedures to culture and liguistics. That’s part of how I found out that apparently black Americans will sometimes get a nose job to confirm better to western beauty standards.

Second of all, I will click on everything that I can’t identify, which often turn out to be kitchen implements or specialized hobby equipment. One time I clicked on some weird looking shoes, shortly followed by some bizarre looking amorphous plastic things which turned out to be special climbing shoes and screw-in footholds, respectively.

So anyway, that’s the story of how Google adsense thinks I’m an African American woman who hates her nose but is also extremely passionate about indoor climbing (none of this is even remotely true).

agertudici,

From Amazon/target ads? The sketchiest ads I click on are probably temu.

agertudici,

Right like. I’m looking forward to AI to fill out the edges of things. I feel like an artist can make more and more beautiful art if they can focus wholeheartedly on a subject then just be like… “oh and put some grass over there. No a little shorter. A little less lush. Perf” or a video game designer can fine tune everything the main npcs say but then auto-generate the side npc responses except like “eeeeh. Make him a little removedier.” I think it could be a great tool for filling in gaps, but not a complete replacement for human writing, at least not for a looong looong time.

agertudici,

So I work 12 but because I’m a night nurse a lot of the time it’s just being there and monitoring, then occasionally doing something if the monitoring indicates the need. And particularly in psychiatry, a lot of the monitoring is passive. Sure I’ll go personally check on people every few hours (the techs do 15 minute checks) but a lot of my monitoring is poking my head out of the nursing station to whisper-yell “WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT NOISE” or jumping up when the floorstaff move too fast (some of our security who know me well will actually frantically gesture at me to sit the fuck back down they’re just showing their buddy a meme they got excited about).

agertudici,

Also scribus can be extremely clunky if you need to make flyers inkscape may be easier.

agertudici,

12s do make sense in Healthcare where every handoff is an opportunity to miss important information. For instance if you forget to mention all the specifics of all your patients injuries after a car wreck, the next nurse might not realize their sinuses are cracked and just go ahead and insert that nasogastric feeding tube into their brain.

3 handoffs a day instead of 2 is 1.5 as many chances to make an error like that.

That said, 2x12s a week instead of 3 sounds lovely.

agertudici,

Honestly I’d settle for making sure the doctors hand off q12h. They often work 48 hour shifts with even more disastrous possibilities.

agertudici,

Honestly it’s just fascinating to me that incel culture has such a huge fixation on chins yet their messiah doesn’t even have one.

I’ve been following incel culture for a while now (and honestly mostly because so many try to kill themselves after being exposed to poison from men like this). And most of the time I just wind up roping any male staff member I can find (everybody from security to chaplains) to talk to these young men because I know I have no business womansplaining healthy masculinity to these young men.

But go ahead and get mad about one comment then read through my comment history for dirt like we’re still on reddit even though lemmy said it would be different.
