  • The only jobs I’ve ever had were teaching and nursing, both paid by the country I live in, not some private entity. I don’t even own a car or a TV, nor do I live in the US for that matter.

    Get your head out of your ass and realise there’s more to life than fucking money. I was born poor and will die poor, but I don’t give a shit because I at least know I helped some people along the way.

    Jfc, the bubble some live in. You should be ashamed of yourself, but I guess you’re not even capable of that, are ya?






  • That’s the good parent award right there. You should be proud of yourself, it isn’t always easy. My own son is a bit younger but we have the same thing going, building computers together and whatnot.

    Meanwhile I haven’t spoken to my violent alcoholic excuse for a father in almost a decade. If I manage to outlive that asshole I’m going to his funeral solely to tell everyone exactly what a piece of shit he was.










  • I’ve been a nurse for over a decade and I disagree strongly. Way too many of the doctors I’ve had to do with both outside and inside my work have been overworked, arrogant or simply too jaded to do their work properly.

    There have been exceptions, of course. I survived both surgeries, after all. Maybe I could have avoided having to learn how to walk again if someone had listened a bit earlier. Maybe not.

    But yes, we get into this line of work to help people initially, at least generally, I’ll give you that.


  • I’ll concede that there’s a difference between physical and psychological diagnoses, but I’ll stand by the main point I was trying to convey, which in this case is that simply blindly following whatever a doctor says can go very wrong.

    At the very least there’s always a good reason to get a second opinion if there’s even a little bit of doubt. Obviously there’s also the difference between a lifelong psychological issue and an acute medical emergency.

    I simply felt that OP was giving really bad advice and I’m fairly sure he’s got no medical training whatsoever, while I’ve been a nurse for over a decade. Maybe I’m wrong and he’s a doctor, but I highly doubt it.


  • It’s probable that it’s way less than that, and that’s not factoring in whatever it’ll cost to unfuck everything he’s done. Not that that’s likely to happen anytime soon.

    Also not counting in the brain-drain that is already happening.

    I hope it’ll be better for all you normal human beings in the US at some point in the future, I really do, but fuck me if this shit isn’t scary all the way on the side of the Atlantic, and that’s coming from someone living right next door to Russia. I’m way more scared of what’ll happen when the US goes full 4th Reich.

    I guess one could argue you’re already there to be fair, but I still hope it went too far too fast and a backlash is incoming.
