Honestly, I think unfortunately gender/sex does play a factor, in addition to race. If this administration has taught us anything, is that there is that much hate within our country.

Also think of cultures where historically their culture doesnt value women. Even if there are people who immigrated here, some still may never vote for a woman. Some will decline because they are racist. While we are all Americans, we are deeply deeply divided ATM :(

This is without even factoring the candidates political platform in yet.

Is it worth watching? I’ve only seen the Netflix versions.

Awwq super cutie!!

I liked the first season. Unsure if I would like second season yet. Sort of stopped because I’m more engrossed with the Residence.

Audio book : First Lie Wins. Just an easy listen.

EBook: My Friends by Fredrik Backman. I already cried and I just started lol

Is there a picture of this Dr. Pepper :D?

Yes. Evelyn from Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Same here. I also like to use it to save time on things. My work has all my info and their policies anyways so i use it to make meeting minutes, make emails summarizing policies or announcements, finding mutual scheduling times, etc. I can do all these myself but its so much faster.

I only really use AI at work and keep my work off my personal devices.

Yes to AITA. You’ve made several posts like this, dont follow any suggestions presented, decline to change (does not matter if youre neurotypical or not), I think even took another position in nursing and still miserable. If you are this miserable, as hard as it may be, likely would be worth a career change.

Not me but my now husband at 27. I laid my head on his chest going to sleep and heard wheezing. I asked him if he always wheezed lol. He thought he was just out of shape and combined with really bad allergies. Respiratory conditions suck.

Would you recommend Metro 2033? I also know its a game?

My dogs use Earth Bath Oatmeal and Aloe and I like it

Thanks for the summary! Blocks for Babies wishlisted!!

Reading Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh. I’ve been really captivated by this novel, enjoy the characters, the world they built, and story so far. We will see how it ends.

Reading the other thread you cross-posted from and being a nurse myself, I agree with the other comments and answers found in the original thread.

You don’t have to like the answer but people generally are asking not to be prying but to be social with you and involving you to be inclusive, whether or not you are neurotypical. That is nice of your peers and honestly, practicing these behaviors for your patients too would help with your job. You are encountering individuals at their lowest: when they are most vulnerable, in pain, in discomfort, stressed, anxious, alone, etc. Part of the patient healing process is support and connection with their healthcare team, which would include you. Patients may do the same thing, ask you questions similar to those of your peers to get to know you or form a connection.

For your peers, you can disclose you are not neurotypical to increase understanding and let them know you are having issues with socialization but there should be some efforts to work with your team as well as with your patients. Healthcare especially in an acute setting as your answers so far has implied is a super social job and if not being social is your thing, there are other positions in healthcare that are not as social in nursing: utilization review, MDS RN, transfer center nurse, picc line vs wound care nurse just for specific tasks, etc.

They make their nests in trees too!! Amazing to see the roost!!

Its definitely on the rise here in CA and showing in our hospitals. It just started this week and seems unfortunately like the beginning of a wave. Fortunately like the article suggests less hospitalizations I think thanks to vaccines? Also, I anticipate less people home testing unfortunately due to less insurance covering tests…

World War Z is a book I didnt see on your list and its very commonly recommended. Very good with a full cast.

Besides the top answer of situational openers, sometimes people ask what you’re up to or what you’ve done. I would always keep in mind three things that I’ve done recently or even interesting observations I’ve had in last week or so.

I got my old school Pokémon fix out of this. $4 no brainer.
