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).

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

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).

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

How is his chin that small even WITH a beard? Is that the real reason incels idolize him? I know they've got lots of weird chin issues is he like their Helen Keller? Chinless success story?

I'm a nurse and we were taught to educate patients at the fifth grade level as well. Believe it or not, the sex ed level is even lower! The average American seems to struggle with such topics as "it's bad to touch or be touched when the person being touched doesn't like it" and "don't put random household objects in your butthole."

Basically, whatever you were using done fucked your brain.

Think about what used to make you happy before whatever you were using. Think about it. Did you like Sports? Did you like Music? Did you like writing? ANYTHING. What did you used to love?

I'll bet you can get through withdrawal easy. That's just two days twitching and sweating. Withdrawing is EASY once you've done it enough.

But what're you gonna do after? How are you gonna cope with the next SIX OR MORE MONTHS of ANHEDONIA??? How are you gonna cope with the fact that for months at a time nothing you used to love will bring you joy without the substance you've been abusing?

Let's talk about PAWS, ok?

My fiance says he's never heard of this and I can't tell you I know where it came from but I take my shoes off and carry them or leave them outside the boundary when I know I'm waking over dead people! We're supposed to respect dead people and you respect people by taking off your shoes when you enter their home! You should take your shoes off when walking where dead people live(are)???

Am I just insane???

What is a "Safety Plan?"

  • It is a plan that YOU create for YOURSELF (and which only needs to be accessible to you.)
  • It is a plan that addresses (and hopefully decreases) behaviors that:
    • You don’t like doing or feel bad after doing
    • Decrease your ability to connect with others
  • Examples:
    • Self-injurious behaviors
    • Substance abuse
    • Binge-Eating
    • Gambling
  • This plan may not continue working if you do not
    • Seek treatment for a known mental-health issue
    • Do not use the activities more often when you are calm than when you are distressed (THINK PAVLOV, a calming activity must continue being associated with a feeling of calm more often than distress to continue calming you).

What does a safety plan include?

  • 3x ACTIVITIES to do instead of the behavior that disrupts your life
    • Listen to a specific song that calms you
    • Take a hot bath
    • Do a craft you love
    • Do a sensory activity you love like playing with clay or paint
    • Play with a pet that loves you
  • 3x PEOPLE to contact who will always pick up the phone for you (as many backups as possible to avoid strain on any one person)
    • A partner?
    • A close friend?
    • Family?
    • A mentor?
    • Another associate from your socio-cultural or religious background?
  • 3x Public SERVICES to Access in Case of Emergency
    • Your specific mental health provider such as a therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist
    • Local Mental Health Board
    • Local Service for a specialty or minority background such as LGBTQ, POC, or Veteran.
    • National Mental health hotlines
    • National Specialty hotlines for the LGBTQ, POC, or veterans.
  • OPTIONAL for people whose home is not a safe place, where can you GO to feel safe?
    • The library
    • A public commons like a statue or fountain
    • A national or state park area
    • A church or other charitable organization’s property
    • A friend or acquaintance’s property

If you DO come in contact with the involuntary mental health system, can you answer these questions? (You likely can't create these answers ahead of time so just write them out and leave blank spots for them)

  • What behavior OF MINE did the mental health system concern themselves with? They usually worry about
    • Real or perceived threats to self
    • Real or perceived threats to others
    • PROFOUND inability to provide for one’s own safety (think naked in below-freezing temperatures or wandering into interstate traffic)
  • What part of that behavior did I MYSELF have control over?
  • What will I PERSONALLY do to prevent this problem behavior from occurring in the future?
    • Did I have a previous safety plan either formally or informally?
    • What safety plan could I develop to address this specific behavior?
    • How could I modify my safety plan to address this specific behavior?

Examples of places to keep a safety plan:

  • fridge
  • wallet
  • phone home screen

HELP! THERE'S A THING I DON'T HAVE 3 OPTIONS FOR!

  • Well I reckon you know where to focus your recovery now, don't you? Start with the first listed option you don't have enough items for and find some things/people.
