Everyone suddenly gets diagnosed with ADHD and gets prescribed stimulants.

Having worked 7 different jobs that all were in the same field made me have some backbone of standards that nobody else could have built without going through that, though. It's a blessing and a curse, so be warned. The things I picked up on that I never realized I would care so much about in the healthcare field is good office administration and Director of Care leadership. The morale is just as important as the pay rate.

While we're on this topic can we also please not have to walk to people in camp to talk to them? I just want to replace my party member quickly.

I had to be put under with local anaesthesia for a septoplasty and they said I couldn't take Vyvanse. I wasn't going to anyway, it increases your blood pressure. But still good that they tell you.

Oh I don't even know this economy and he's blaming me for some cult he started following called corporatism? Bro, you need rehab.

I'm very accustomed to trying to do this because I remember everyone I've wronged and think about things in my past a lot.

I've realized however that apologizing doesn't mean that the person you've wronged because of an instance they've wronged you before will ever change how they treat you. Even if you two were best friends. I had a very toxic friend in highschool who never owned up to something he did to me and I never really got over it. Instead of moving on I fought back, but looking back I can at least acknowledge he is a narcissist and never wanted me to be happy in the first place. I wronged him by letting my emotions take over, but he was oblivious to the pain he put me or anybody else through. It's that mantra that keeps me from wanting to fight him again even if it's been years and years. I want to get over it and I think I can with enough change in my life but God damn I never thought I'd feel that kind of rage.

You act like they have to pull it up with a number ID and don't already have every xkcd alphabetically, pneumonically and categorically sorted in their bookmarks.

I'm not gonna pretend like he's doing great things and all but I also have a strong suspicion he's got a reputation reversal PR team that controls every aspect of his social life and that's why he's always hanging out with the mega church pastors that wear their swimming trunks down to their ankles in public to show off their pelvic tans and have only positive news clips where he's praying for Africa and throwing wads of cash into subway station crowds. He's becoming the new Ellen.

It's my birthday today and I've already eaten 2 apple fritters and it's only 11am. I'm in this picture and I hate it.

I think he's on the spectrum as well, that combination plus his french Canadian accent makes some people dislike him.

I worked in a home where I knew this woman from when I was a small child, she was in my parents circle and therefore I played with her kids. She was a nurse her whole life. She had Parkinson's and Osteoporosis so she ended up in the nursing home early in her life. She wanted to go to a faith based one because of her culture, but she wasn't very religious. When she talked about MAID with the healthcare team there they kept telling her that she didn't want that and she would be missing out on so much of her life. She knew what she wanted and saw how slowly but surely her mobility was going down/the pain it caused. Last I heard they were looking into Sweden or one of those more progressive countries where they will take her, but if she's living in this specific home they will refuse to do that. I don't know any more details, but that sounds absolutely miserable.

I didn't know this because I generally tune out anything sponsor related either by sponsor block or just shut my brain off to it so that makes I guess a bit more sense with context. I think that in an instance like this not too many people will get that though. It still actually comes across as over the board because of the severe implications with Linus as a company shareholder, but this is Twitter so maybe I'm just over this kind of advertisement exposure.

Yesterday I went to this "fancy" Italian restaurant for my birthday with family and our waitress upon finding out it was my birthday said "oh, it's your birthday? Well, why don't you look happy about it?"

I was like... uh..... I am? Then shrugged it off because maybe I didn't understand the question, like maybe I misheard her. Then I brought it up to my wife at night and she was like "yeahhh.. I'm not sure why she said that". But like, if you say that to someone... that makes them feel more uncomfortable.. even if it's a joke. Like we were only sitting there for 5 minutes and hadn't even ordered yet and I hadn't eaten since 10 o'clock in the morning, so of course I'm going to be mildly irritated, but unhappy? Fuckin bitch...

I agree. The minimalism speaks louder than the accents AND fonts they change it to. The person in charge of that department must know when a good thing doesn't need too much of a change. Despite it being changed bi-annually, lol.

When I went to Tuscany there were places I visited with half day work hours and Sunday everything was closed. People just enjoyed life, not needing to shop, but just living. I crave a society like this.

A whole bag of Cheetos is still acceptable though. They put air where the calories are supposed to hide.
