I hate it with every fiber of my being.

It looks like a mime hitchhiking and curb stomping at the same time, which is cool in theory - but not in practice.

So...absurdly long shifts lol. Thanks. Def get on that CT business. I thought schooling would be longer but apparently not.

12 hour nights from 7pm-7am

but shift diff is nice plus I only work 3 nights a week so I get long stretches off. Sometimes I work Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday night then I'm off until the next Thursday to work Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night.

I fail to understand why so many people in healthcare LIKE long shifts - coming from having worked in retail, trades, and labor jobs. Like we'd be so happy if we worked 8 hours. Yet in healthcare people FIGHT to work 10-12 hour shifts. There was a huuuuge fuss from my coworkers trying to get my boss to rework the entire department to get 10 hour shifts. Worst idea ever. Like the labor movement fought to eliminate long shifts -- and now we're fighting FOR them? seem so regressive.

It's different than something like racism, for example, because we're not all asking for understanding and help in assisting everybody becoming white

non-whites can be racist to you know since you want us to be less ignorant.

Do you need the definition of what an "example" is?

I am liberal, and I support empathy and all minority groups.

But I am kind of annoyed by CW, and I do believe that humor is meant to challenge - which often times leads to offense. All good art should challenge. If humor wasn't offensive in any way we'd be stuck with everything being Ellen Degeneres or the Youtube/Family Guy generation's referential humor. It'd be bad.

Seriously - liking bacon and ham on pizza just shouts that you probably wear boxers, have stinky and hairy balls, watch action movies, make fun of people in skinny jeans, and listen to cock rock. You're not even a fuckboy or a basic bro - you're just a boring, normie dude who's insecure and has to overcompensate by eating tons of extra protein to feel more masc.

I do, too.
I loved maxing stats in Dragon Warrior Monsters 1-2 soooo much.

Gremlins is the quintessential Christmas horror movie. It takes place at Christmastime, Gizmo himself is a Christmas gift, one of the victims is dressed up like Santa, and the girl from Fast Times talking about why she doesn't celebrate is certainly enough to seal the deal.

Tell your friend it's a Christmas movie and they're dead wrong, dead as a dad dressed as Santa stuck in a chimney wrong, if they think it's not.

Agreed on everything you said, but it's not the quintessential Christmas horror movie at all. That honor belongs to either Silent Night Deadly Night or Black Christmas.

Still one of my favorites.



Another favorite.

There used to also be a terrible Juggalo rapper who friended my best friend on Myspace -- but most of his "best" bad music isn't able to be found online anymore. Also loved this hilariously bad song by the band Church of Hate -- but I can't find that particular song again.

People who type "a 100" or "100s".

Like, 100 is read as "one hundred", not just "hundred".

I never thought of that. It's like putting emphasis on the 1. Come on, Karen! You don't need to brag -- you can't have fewer hundreds than 1, unless you've got 0!

I hate when people don't return shopping carts to corrals.

I hate when people disrespect cats.

Just saying

It's not being challenged? Sharps shouldn't be in the garbage period -- and my moral i posted still stands

Naan is okay but seriously like the worst Indian starch. Uttapam, dosa, poori, vadas, and idli are all better

I just think not creating messes for others, and not trashing another humans property or living space is just basic human decency and decorum.

It doesn't matter if you're in healthcare, service, retail -- whether you're a customer, patient, patron, or guest. The context doesn't matter

No! That's blatant disrespect of public space. That's as bad as shitting on public restroom floors in my eyes

I use the gown. And i am aware of what/ where I'm pushing. At the very least, though, people could make sure gown straps aren't hanging out of the garbage or gloves weren't on the floor. They don't even do that.

Also, as you said, that's not proper disposal of needles. Should you not shove down garbage in public, either -- since you run the risk of strangers germs or drug needles or glass or whatever?

Do you also use public garbage cans when they're full? Let your empty coffee cup fall out and onto the concrete?

It's just basic decency

You peel off a gown - there's air. It's relatively large. You have gloves on. If it's droplet you could also have a mask between the gown, your gloves, and your hand. You're using the gown and mask to push it down. Maybe not even as far as it'll go -- just far enough so you're not a disrespectful schmuck

Don't defend blatant disrespect for patients.

If i were a patient and a nurse slopped that shit off like they do -- i'd tell them excuse-fucking-me and stop them in their tracks and tell them to put their garbage in the can. I'd do the same with a doctor, too

You realize when you take off the gown it's not compact? There's some air there. Maybe a basketball is an exaggeration - but it's definitely not as small as a needle

The fuck is wrong with self checkouts? Better than getting stuck in the standard line behind people who look like theyre shopping for the entire year lol

Self checkouts take away jobs -- and people take forever. Sensor doesn't calculate the weight right? Red light! Someone puts their pop into their cart? Red light! Can't find x item's plu? Let me sit here ten minutes trying to find it! This register doesn't take cash? Whoops! Gotta do a different register. Let me play with my kid instead of scanning items -- or text between scanning.

The solution are Express lanes. They were the solution before and still are.

The first two points are the only valid ones here.

Regarding taking away jobs, surely you've noticed how self-checkouts have only started to become common in response to (successful) demands for higher pay and benefits getting out of control? Self-checkouts don't have to be paid a minimum wage that's ridiculously excessive for the actual job they're doing, or be given a whole bunch of work-related benefits.

In regards to people taking forever, the counterargument there is the fact that you can generally fit more self-checkouts in the same amount of space as you could of regular checkouts, which balances this out. If the average shopper needs twice as long on a self-service, but there's four times as many checkouts, the result is still a 50% reduction in waiting time.

The rest of your post is generally taking worst-case scenarios and describing them as if they're an everyday occurance.

My examples ARE everyday occurences.

You don't think a needle could pierce through gloves and gowns?

.... Really?

First off -- shouldn't needles be in a sharps container or be disposed of in a different way? Second of all - you're bundling the gown into something the size of like a basket ball and you're just pushing it down slightly - at least enough so that there aren't straps hanging out of the edge of the can. You're not slamma-a-jamming it and pushing it down like Streets of Rage.

rikasa posted...

Well, I don't like being ignored. It's a bit of a trigger. Very hypocritical since I ignore other people constantly though.

In what context? like friends or family not returning calls, or coworkers not listening? any of those?

_Lyonidias posted...

Im a nurse and I also kinda dislike when people leave gowns and such hanging out of bins. Unpleasant to look at, though not always crucial.

I think, like I said, it's disrespectful to the patient.
But it happens SO often. Depending on what shift I do -- I can visit dozens of patient rooms in a day, and it's like 99% of the time I need to shove down the gowns.
I had a coworker who's in nursing school right now tell me that they teach them not to -- because there could be needles or something? But unless there's fucking Excalibur chilling in the garbage can -- I don't see how a huge bundle of gown, while you're still wearing gloves, is going to be penetrated by a rogue needle.

It really pisses me off when foodstuffs get contaminated with other foodstuffs. Crumbs in spreads (or other spreads in spreads) is one that's far too common.

Also, I can't stand imperfectly-cleaned dishes / cookware. To the point where it's pretty much a rule here that no one but me washes dishes (unless they're being washed to be used right away afterwards, in which case I don't give a shit because it'll be back in the dirty pile for me to wash, rather than going in with the actually-clean stuff). My gf is pretty happy with that rule (understandably), but we've had guests who really can't get something that simple - that doesn't even require any effort on their part - through their heads... >_>

I agree about the dishes/cookware. I'm usually busy/tired nowadays and don't clean to my own standard, since I usually rush through and sometimes catch imperfections myself -- but this is exactly why I refuse to use a dish washer.

My driving record is terrible. I couldn't be a delivery driver for anything.
I used the delivery driver comment because I know so many people who think they don't need to tip the pizza guy -- which is NOT true.

DEKMStephens posted...

People pronouncing niche as if it contains a T

Lol. That's a good one and I'm guilty.

I hate when I'm in an office, work space, or clerical setting and there are pen marks or bits of tape still on tables/desks. I think it looks incredibly trashy, unkempt, and unprofessional.

I hate when I'm at grocery stores and they make no effort at merchandising, eg. Meijer, Costco, etc. Like literally just plopping boxes down in produce and hardly even rotating anything. I want to shop at a grocery store/market -- not a warehouse. Again - trashy and unprofessional.

I hate self checkouts and people who fervently defend them.

I hate it when people talk too much during board gaming and then take forever on their turns. You should be spending others peoples' turns anticipating yours and planning ahead.

It bothers me so much when nurses and doctors don't push down their gowns in the garbage cans of patient rooms. They literally let gloves and gowns hang out of the garbage or fall on the floor. If a patient is staying at the hospital for an extended period of time - then that room is basically their HOME for the time being. You don't go to someone else's house and just throw crap at their garbage can and hope it gets in.

I also hate when people don't close the supply/contact closets outside of patient rooms. Same idea. It's like leaving a cabinet open in a house and looks super trashy.

I hate when people are shopping and people decide not to buy items and just throw them anywhere. I used to work in grocery retail and people would put raw meat on veggies, ice cream in beverage fridges, bacon on top of checkout lane gum boxes, etc. It's sooo trashy and disrespectful to the workers, and it wastes product in the examples I gave. Blatant egocentrism.

I cannot stand people driving through parking spots. There are lines to direct traffic for a reason. I've almost gotten in accidents because I'm pulling out and suddenly sportsmom SUV comes flying through like 10 rows of parking spots and I almost hit her.

I hate busy traffic intersections and when people go in the middle of the intersection waiting for it to turn red or block the intersection in any way -- especially when it does not allow perpendicular traffic to move once they're allowed. So selfish.

On the topic of traffic again - I also hate when people turn too sharp and go over the line. Like just because someone's not there right NOW doesn't mean you can just turn lazily and go where you would've hit someone. Learn to color in the fucking lines.

I hate when I'm a passenger and people try and make left turns onto busy roads without a light. Just turn right, turn left further ahead and turn around! Why are you risking my life and wasting time just because you're stubborn.

I hate bad tippers. I hate people who don't tip delivery drivers especially.

everyone needs like 80 grams of protein a day so I say protein shakes.

I thought 50 was the recommended amount.

I should know this, lol. But I believe it's around 1 g PRO per 1 kg of body weight for a normally active adult. So yeah, it's much closer to 50 than 80

Depends on from where.
I would never eat fries from McDonalds, and some frozen varieties used at cheaper restaurants are bland af.

Does everybody like oranges?
I know lots of people have mild allergies to apples/pears, and I know some people hate bananas. I think oranges may be the most innocuous fruit? Maybe watermelon?

bone in meat is the absolute best. it's more flavourful and less dry than boneless

I actually hate bacon

do you like the smell of bacon while being cooked?

I know it has more flavor. But I don't think it's worth the effort and the cartilage in your teeth. Like I said - the taste to effort ratio doesn't add up - similar to fresh pomegranates.

Do people actually dislike cheese? I'd imagine very few.

Someone on my discord server does but IIRC she's lactose intolerant?

Sunburst posted...

Not just honey roasted peanuts, but peanuts in general unless u r allergic.

I hate plain peanuts. I like a lot of nuts but just plain old peanuts are bleh unless they're boiled or prepared in some other way.

Depending - there are forms of dairy that are lower in lactose, and there are always the pills/lactose free products to help people with lactose intolerance.
I can get if you have a bad intolerance, or if you have a milk protein allergy -- then yeah, cheese would be unpleasant. But this girl legitimately doesn't "miss" having cheese?
Every single vegan I've ever known has agreed cheese is the hardest animal product to give up.

Fried chicken is a huge waste of time and effort. Anything with bones, really. The taste to effort ratio is poor in fried chicken. I'd much, much, much, much rather have fried fish.

i agree but it's still decent, just vastly inferior to tenders, nuggets, and boneless wings imo

I'd agree. Boneless wings are good. BUT -- I'd still rather just have some perch or walleye. Even cod.
If I'm having chicken fried in any way - I think it's best with corn starch in Americanized Chinese food.

Bacon is not good. There are very, very few instances where it actually makes anything better, eg. baked potato/pierogi pizza.

Ferrero Rocher are also just meh. Milk chocolate in general is meh.

The others I agree.

Of course - but society is incredibly narrow-minded when it comes to this topic.

So yes, TC, I am suggesting your ignorance and ire is more toxic (albeit not as violent) than a racist, sexist, homophobe, etc.
You're worse in a way.

Shut up fatty. Take care of yourself for once instead of begging for acceptance

I'm not "begging for acceptance." Acceptance from whom? I'm in a relationship, I've never had problems finding sex, and I'm not treated any differently by anybody based on my appearance.

I work in dietetics. It's kind of my field. So of course I'd like people to actually be educated and decent human beings when talking about anything regarding nutrition. I don't think counseling overweight people is like coaching a high school football team. sorry.

rikasa posted...

Alternatively you can eat whatever you want as long as you don't surpass your BMR fucked up I know

this only works for maintaining weight BTW, if a fat person does it they'll still be fat.

While partially true - there's a lot more to health than just weight. Otherwise the keto diet would actually be a good concept.

So yes, TC, I am suggesting your ignorance and ire is more toxic (albeit not as violent) than a racist, sexist, homophobe, etc.
You're worse in a way.

See - hating the overweight is also different than other sorts of bigotry because nobody is arguing that it isn't ideal to be a healthy weight. We're only asking that people have empathy, understanding, and the least bit of fucking education.

It's different than something like racism, for example, because we're not all asking for understanding and help in assisting everybody becoming white. Which means that in an ideal situation we can actually change a person's mind if they're a racist. This form of bigotry exhibited by TC won't be changed -- only brushed under the rug. If he doesn't struggle with weight issues personally, doesn't understand soft sciences, is a wholly unempathetic and terrible human being, etc. the best we can do is hope he just keeps his bigotry to himself.

I'm going to go ahead and say this is the single most toxic opinion and mindset a human being can have.

See - other forms of bigotry are usually steeped in ignorance and fear. The irrational hatred of the overweight and absolute ignorance in regards to the obesity epidemic is steeped in more than ignorance and fear -- it's steeped in pride, unwarranted self assurance, and a profound level of ignorance that can disregard both the hard and soft sciences. It's ignoring culture, psychology, sociology, biology, etc. It's an insane level of ignorance unparalleled -- in many, many different areas.
