In addition to all the above, I found a weighed blanket really helped me. Make sure your room is very dark, pitch black. If it is not, upgrade your blinds or a sleep mask. I got one that’s simple and cotton and it works wonders.

Now its winter I also have a heated blanket.

Social workers are all recommended to have a personal therapist for themselves. And its possible for the personal therapist to also have social work degree

The Americans is the best show ive ever seen. Absolutely brilliant from the story to the acting.

My favorite show is also Haunting on Hill House. Its on Netflix. Perfect for Halloween if anyone is interested.

This or some kind of psychosis… Mental health, neurocognitive abnormalities scare the shit out of me. That its very possible it can happen to me.

Well I guess for me is wondering if this trend started because people thought it would be either functional or cool vs businesses being malicious and their aim was more surveillance tolerance?

People dont think its weird to have a camera on a laptop or phone anymore. Instead, people sometimes are now buying phones for the picture quality… And fridges with WiFi because the tech is cool or something.

Many influencers too in general.

The addition of microphones and cameras to things like phones, computers, watches and other technology is to normalize being surveiled as well as minimize other privacy violations. We now have fridges that have WiFi capabilities now and often in the presence of some sort of device with a camera due to phones.

Honestly, I was happy my parents were being cheap and bought me a manual for my first car. It made driving automatics later on so easy and they were right at least a few times. They told me there would be times where I may be stuck if I didn’t know how to drive a manual. I ended up driving a few friends home in their manual at a time there were no taxis or ridesharing in our area.

Like everyone said it becomes second nature, even if you’re learning automatic… You just have to manage your anxiety. The 3 people through out my life who I know absolutely should not be on the road took multiple physical driving tests on an automatic but are so anxious on the road, they were a danger to others. I’m hoping your description above is just because you’re a new driver, experiencing new driver things. I was that scared and not very good either when I started and also was uncertain of myself. I’m happy I stuck with it and it does become second nature if your anxiety is within normal limits. Best wishes on your driving adventures

USB hand warmers. I am very sensitive to the cold and its so nice to hold while walking around or keeping in your pockets

In 2013 I left a very toxic, abusive relationship (physically, emotionally, sexually).

I’m healthy now but its been a long journey to get here. I have definitely changed as have my life. Its a big milestone that I rarely have to think about now as its been so long. But the lingering effects of trauma went on for years before I considered myself “recovered”

Checks out. Looks like a good boy to me!!

I think a lot of smaller local news sites have that option too?? Sometimes when I click on a news article, there is a comment section below where people can throw their 2 cents.

App accessibility will be pending which news sites…

Also, yes, the Union rep that said you can get fired is wrong. Its super super super hard to fire people under Union. Even nurses that dont do their nursing interventions or watch Netflix day. Its truly wild what some Union nurses get away with. Pros and cons…

Nurse manager here. I’m really confused why you would need to lie? Especially if the PIP is “unenforceable”.

If you want to quit bedside just do it. Theres so many other fields of nursing out there. Honestly and genuinely speaking, you sound miserable :(

P.S. Peds pts may be compliant but overbearing parents with unrealistic expectations or peds deaths are not fun to deal with. Its not all rainbows… I would never touch nicu, PEDs, picu for that reason

Since your hobby is gaming have you tried LAN events? If there are some you can go to, even afford to fly to, you can make friends IRL and keep them when you go back home. You know you have one thing in common with your potential new friends!

Or join Discord groups! Join more social games like MMORPGs? I don’t game anymore but think of my gaming friends fondly as I got to know many over the years and find out things about them in and out of games :)

I still play both Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch.

This is me too. I oddly have like 3 cups of water every day and have been fine. No abnormal labs or anything. Only drink when I am thirsty. Only increases in hot weather or exercise.

I always wonder where and how these crazy sovcits are after all this time. October 2023 is quite a long time ago. Like I wonder if they’re homeless, if they ever got back on their feet after everything they do fails.

My heart desires to always be healthy, beating regularly without issues, failure, or undue stress

Thank you! I remember my local library had dvds. I don’t remember any BluRays. Will check it out!!
