This is generally my belief. There is no dichotomy. Life is full of gray areas. Also what is morally virtuous or superior to you may not be the case for others. Take religious differences, for example.

Thank you for this! Love stop-motion. This should keep me nicely occupied.

Thank you! Subscribed!

I have the Shokz OpenRun Pro. Well worth the money, no complaints. I wear them all the time at work (hazard issue to have in-ear earbuds). There’s a pause button on the side when I’m trying to give somebody my full attention, or I’ll just take them off and wear it around my neck. Lasts through a 16 hr shift.

Yeah I’m on Tildes and it does this! You get a 5 minute or so grace period. Nice quality of life feature.

Yes! I stopped caring about the edited mark. Why should everything be perfect at the first post? I edit for grammar all the time, fix my phrasing, edit for better flow, add things I forgot to mention, etc.

I don’t do turkey and cranberry sauce, porkchop with applesauce, paté with jam/chutneys… something about meat and fruit sauce. Well but I don’t like chicken and waffles either. Oh, and bacon donuts!

How bout something like onion jam and cheese?

I said the same about fruity beers, sours, lambics, (also found white wines too acidic) and now I like them lol. Sometimes taste changes when you get older.

Yeah I don’t really relate to the complaint because why does all your fun have to come from a single website? Does your online content have to be a one-stop shop? I just hop around Lemmy, Tildes, read sports news, maybe watch some cool videos on Youtube, etc etc. And when I’m bored with internet, I have other stuff IRL to do. Yeah I’m just not treating Lemmy like an endless scroll feed like Reddit or Instagram. I just check out what’s new (I might pop in a few times a day), participate if I want, and move on.

Right? Personally, I want people who come here to care. Not the masses.

Saves time from having to draw them on every day.

Cerave’s great for eczema!

I hate those questions and I do the same as you. Keeping lists. But for me, that’s probably a coping skill for ADHD. Anyway I don’t really have a single favorite anything. I have multiple favorites. More like flavors of the month lol. I dislike those questions because it makes me have to pick, as if it’s some consistent thing (it’s not) that I now get stuck with as some sort of assumption about my being.

So sweet. They’re gonna love it!

Go to the ER if you think it’s broken. These are some signs:

Pain directly on top of the bone (where there is no soft tissue)

Severe swelling or bruising on the top of the bone

Loss of sensation, numbness, tingling

A “cracking” sound at the time of the injury

The area looks lopsided or deformed

Can’t use your hand, can’t move it, can’t close your fist, can’t pick things up. Bad signs.

Edit: Oh, I read that wrong. I thought you wanted advice on your hand lol. I’ll just leave this up bc it’s useful.

Bc that’s just what girls do bro😂 It’s actually clever on her part. She basically found a way to ask you out without having to ask you out. Or “hang out,” if you prefer. It’s low risk, and basically no way of you rejecting her. She could always default to, ‘well I was just doing my own thing anyway’ lol.

I actually had my partner read this too, and we’re in agreement, so you’ve got both a male and female opinion here lol:

SHE asked for your number, SHE wanted to spend more time with you. Seems awfully convenient that she wasn’t able to do her work for whatever reason, and instead was content with just chit chatting. Also – hearts are flirty. Especially at work AND you just met the person.

We think she’s interested but you probably didn’t do enough during the hang out, and she didn’t want to embarrass herself, so she just downplayed it.

Our advice is to just ask her out. She seems more forward, so she probably appreciates confidence. “Hey I had fun talking! We should get dinner some time. Are you available?”

For me, it’s all about reading people. If they’re really hmming and hawing, I might ask “what’s the matter?” to get a read on their concerns. Remind them of the benefits, that these are MD orders, maybe it’s a medication that they shouldn’t just stop cold, maybe they wanna talk to the MD first, maybe they had a bad experience and want to take an alternative med instead (and we can make that happen!), etc. Some are straight up scared to refuse😅 So I might remind them hey it’s totally your right to not take it. Depends on the patient really. But some give a firm “no” and I don’t argue with that.

Now all of the above is assuming I have time, because sometimes it’s just too dang busy. Med pass is usually a 10, maybe 30 seconds max interaction. Keep it moving.

The staring and angry reactions don’t phase me. Maybe it did when I was new. But you develop a thick skin real quick doing this job.

At the end of the day, med pass must be witnessed or you risk false documentation. It ensures time accuracy in record-keeping too, as in you (and pharmacy, and all other providers) know the patient took it at this time and not an hour/hours later. There are all sorts of med interactions and domino effects to consider.

As far as the not trusting patients thing - that doesn’t just come from nowhere. Obviously it would make all our lives easier if we could just trust people! But you see all types of scenarios in healthcare, whether it happens to you or a coworker. One day you’ll chart medication was given, maybe cardiac meds. Come in later and find the pills under their pillow or something. Maybe the patient codes later that night. I mean who knows. Just protect your license and don’t do risky shit that gets you burned. Because all it takes is one bad day.

Nah totally hilarious and endearing!🤣
