yeah I feel this way about a lot of things. I think on some level there does need to be people protecting public safety, stopping people from murdering each other (which they very much occasionally do) etc. Do the cops actually do that, do it well, and restrict people’s freedoms only in the minimal and exact ways they need to to do that? …eeeeeehhhh.

…and that’s how I converted to Gnosticism.

as @agertudici@sh.itjust.works somebody told me they recognized my rant about applying hospital socks to someone with chf but I think I deleted it in my last round of privacy deletions

but don’t spend the money. I forget how long they have to request it back. it’s called like unjust enrichment or something. basically accidentally paying someone too much is only a problem for poor people.

It was a fucking banger and a true classic of this millennium’s tween years you tasteless, joyless, spork sharpener.

addendum: the lil “discourse” below this comment is 🍫🍿🥤

I’m also fascinated by this I’ve literally never heard it before and I’m here for the tea / popcorn. 🍿

I too am fascinated by this assertion.

I think context is also important. At home I eat all kinds of things that have been all kinds of places for various amounts of time. I grew up eating fruit straight off the vine after a quick shine with my shirt (and nectar in the case of honeysuckle).

When I’m handling food for my patients I take no chances. Even the ones without specific immune disorders are under high bodily stress while being exposed to shit that’s basically been bred for resistance to antimicrobials. My husband has only had one hospital job but has been working in bulk production kitchens longer than my entire career in healthcare. If one item does go bad it can spread to the others pretty quickly. Another issue is that while I wash my hands plenty at home and also so compulsively at work that I have to use dimethicone lotion to keep my skin together, I can’t actually guarantee that my coworkers do. Wish I could, but I’m not pressing my ears to the bathroom door in the breakroom to do it. I know I washed my hands before touching the patients’ breakfasts but I’m too busy focusing on my own job to tell you for certain that anybody else did so yeah there really might be something growing on those trays an hour or two later.

So at home, no I don’t really care. But in high volume kitchens and institutional environments it’s important enough that my husband actually knows all the specific times and temperatures off the top of his head.

Ubuntu was really good when I was a kid. when I went to school like 10 years ago I had to have a windows computer for a while to run my school’s proprietary virtual clinical lab software and I was too busy studying and going to irl clinicals to worry about getting a dual boot running. I tried to go back once a few semesters in but it seemed really bloated compared to the Ubuntu I grew up with and I did mint for a bit but that computer kicked the bucket iirc and I didn’t have the time to set up another dual boot. Hubs is thinking we’re gonna have to switch soon and I’ve honestly been ready for a bit and think I’ll probably try mint again, but distrowatch says a lot of people are super into cachy so I was considering that. Will Probably still try mint first.

this is exactly why I converted to Gnosticism. Mainstream Christianity never sat well with me, atheists are pretentiously #intellectual, and agnosticism just wasn’t loud enough. Now I’m following in the footsteps of Jesus by vibing with the homeless dudes at the bus stop, whipping out a tarot deck when I need to be alone with my feelings, and drawing weird sacred geometry that makes people uncomfortable even though it’s shit they learned in middle school. 10/10 highly recommend.
