Until then, join me in just reveling in the headline for a while.
Part of me’s right there with you; part of me fucking hates that. We keep seeing the justice system shake its fists at these fuckers, gets our hopes up that they’ll be held accountable, and then they almost never actually are. It just stagnates for a while until it’s left the public’s attention span, then fizzles.
That isn’t justice.
…fuck, my coffee habit by itself is probably responsible for a solid 0.01 *C global temperature increase.
Sorry all… I didn’t know.
US: “Right, right - we need representatives who actually have their own lives on the line, and will act according to their and our best inter–”
MAGA: “We’re going to kill trans people.”
US: “It’s not like they’re going to kill trans people - I think we got bigger short-term fish to fry: for example, there are still trans people left to kill. Let’s give extreme right-wing authoritarian theocracy a shot for now, we can worry about the climate later!” votes for more Nazis
Speaking as a tech, I don’t see it much on the job, but the vast majority of nurses in the workforce all went to school before this AI slop shit became a thing. It’s the recent and upcoming graduates you’ll need to be worried about - it’ll be a while before we really start to feel the burn as an entire profession, but it’s coming.
Nursing student here. Same shit.
…remember the hospital in Idiocracy? Yeah…
No worries at all. Typing is a shitty medium for this kind of conversation: tone is mostly lost. I’m guilty all the time of making posts that sound 10x angrier than I intended. …or angry at all: usually I’m bouncing somewhere between numb, depressed, or caffeine-induced mania. I’m not really ever mad or aggressive; but then I’ll re-read a post I made the day prior and realize it comes off as absolutely pissed which is pretty much never the intention at the time of posting.
I do tend to use profanity pretty casually… maybe it’s that?
But yeah, when in doubt, read an internet-stranger’s post in the voice of Eeyore. Sometimes the words alone just don’t do the trick.
I mean for sure it’s the entire country, with only depressingly slight variations in concentration one way or the other - but your image is about southerners specifically, so that’s what I addressed.
…and honestly, it scales up as high as you want to take it - for the most part, humans are just evil sacks of shit.
Eh… I live in the cousin-fuckingly-deep South. In a city, and I work in a hospital, so I think it’s pretty safe to say this is one of the more left leaning bubbles within a hundred miles. …and there are still a fuckton of Nazis here.
There are absolutely decent people trapped here, but we’re legit outnumbered. It isn’t just gerrymandering or some shitty system at fault: the majority of southerners are just fucking evil.
There’s always some thinly veiled excuse - “We don’t hate women, we just want to protect the babies!” “We don’t hate immigrants, we just want to protect our jobs!” “We don’t hate trans people, we just want to protect our bathrooms!” but when you hear them talk amongst themselves about those people it’s pretty clear they really do just hate them.
Most southerners are sincerely not good people.

You don’t have to say it twice…

How’s the demand for nurses? I’ll be finishing up nursing school in less than a year! :D
Or support staff? I’m a surgical tech now, and some of my coworkers (other techs, schedulers - bottom of the medical food chain, but still with specialty experience) feel trapped here by their lack of higher education.
He knows. His goal is to weaken the US - the things that fuck us the hardest are followed by a too-little-too-late backstep probably to feed his base some plausible deniability, but his actions are pretty clear to anyone who isn’t already either lying to themselves or delighting in the evil.
He is a domestic enemy of the US.
The pic, for those who don’t want to give them clicks:
It’s relative to the country - you expatriate from your country of origin, and become an immigrant to a new host country.
Expatriate and emigrate are more or less synonyms.
ex patriot
That’s what I became when the Nazis took over as a result of being overwhelming popular to US voters. Turns out it’s not just a handful of powerful fuckers taking advantage of the rest of us: ‘we the people’ are, for the most part, just evil.
Working in the OR, it’s a loooong night on call.
Dat paycheck tho…

Sweet potato fries are fucking amazing when they’re done right. Usually they’re overly mushy which I think is why they get so much hate, but they’re top tier when the cook knows what they’re doing.
“It’s like crowdsourcing, but with community and business supporting resources!”
…yeah monkes and all other mammals are fucked right along with us.
Maybe a few tardigrades will survive, and after a few billion more years of evolution they’ll grow up to be less of an asshole than humans did.
Yeah if you want to pitch socialism to people who don’t know what it is, just describe its parts as individual policies. Don’t actually use the word “socialism” - that makes the rednecks scurred >_>
But not all the way up!
