That’s hilarious, that you had to pretend you were dying of cancer for such extravagance to make sense in your life.

Unfortunately yes.

Haha whoops. I’m leaving it.

Is nothing scared.

Yeah but where can anyone make you go that you don’t have a floor?

I guess you could be tortured and held up in stress positions.

It’s a good practice because you always have one nearby. One of the few things no one can ever take from you.

I can feel it coming in the air tonight.

Very well. The other night was at a fall festival and they had some carnys pushing carts filled with toys and balloons, you know, plastic swords, plastic guns, snaps, stink bombs, and blow up guitars, etc., and they all had a bunch of flags for sale, including, at the very top, a bunch of made in China trump shit.

I saw one carney, who was black, and he did not have trump shit. So when it was time to let the kiddo pick a toy or something, I said he could buy from that carney. And I struck up a convo by offering that it was his lack of Trump shit that got him this sale; an important thing, I think, to tell retailers of this sort. We dapped it up for a second and he was looked at me like, “come the fuck on, obviously there’s no trump shit on my cart.” He said one of the other Carneys told him how much more money he could make, and how he asked the other guy back, “man, are you fucking stupid?” Nice guy.

The fight you’re looking for is one you need to have with yourself.

And it was also the day that the skeletons came to lifeeeee.

I think it’s the second option.

I also think that everyone should have just one internet account. And every website you sign up for or account you create or whatever has your real name publicly associated with it.

You could still post anonymously, but there would be no username associated with it. Just “Guest” or “Anonymous” or whatever. No linking back to your socials if you say a bunch of crazy shit online without using your actual identity.

What’s the problem for you with nursing ?

Is it job insecurity or is it travel?

My understanding is that traveling nurses make very good money. Obviously there’s more to life than money though.

I’m sure you don’t have to leave medicine to make good money and have a different working arrangement. There are all sorts of alternative non-nursing jobs for nurses. How do you see there’s administration, insurance, consulting, or even just continuing to search for the situation that you want.

The question is not would it be more beneficial, it’s what do you want to do? Do you want to be a nurse at all? Did you rush into it because a guidance counselor told you it’s a great career path?

I have two friends in cyber security and I could not tell you what they do but they both seem to make very good money without working very hard, but they’ve both also been computer nerds since the 90’s.

No for real. You can do a 2-second Google search and find a bunch of studies showing that humans can learn to do it very well within a 10-week course of 2 hours a day. But I know there is a video floating around of some students who managed to prove that even within just a few hours of training test subjects did remarkably better navigating a room using clicks whilst blindfolded then they did before the training and with no clickers. The research speaks for itself. You already have the skill in your brain and you’re using it all the time when you move around in the world, you just don’t consciously realize it. It’s why you have two years instead of like one big ear right in the middle. Your brain can discern the difference in sound from one ear to the other and use it to triangulate the source of the sound and sources of reverberation and echoes. I’ll see if I can dig up the video.

I can’t seem to find the video. It was some research college and the experiment was to see how quickly humans could adapt to echolocation after being blinded. So you took regular people and put them in a room about the size of gymnasium with a bunch of lines and marks on the floor, They had a bunch of generic shaped furniture like from Ikea that they would move around the room using the different marks for the different tests, and one of the tests was to just take a group of people and leave them in this dark room for like three hours, walking around bumping into everything, then they move all the furniture and bring the subjects back in, and the collisions with furniture drops way off. The camera angles from the study are shot from above and shows I believe groups of two trying to navigate. It may well have been the study that showed it took 10 weeks and my memory is just not correct, but I have a very specific takeaway that was just a few hours the results are not only measurable by stark.

Very definitely documented cases of blind people who are apparently masters of echo location, most use a hand clicker, their mouth to click, or taps with a cane.

Nah there are studies that show that if you go blind suddenly you will start to learn decent echolocation within a few hours, meaning in a room they’ve never been in they can use a clicker and not walk into things. You can already do it you just haven’t ever done it consciously. It’s your phone.

Hamas stops Gaza having elections.

The West Bank has no water? If they have money to fire a thousand rockets a month at Israel, why not spend some of that on the water infrastructure?

Most of the ones who make money at it work for themselves, solo or with partners.

You’d be driving an exploding car and wearing a shirt made of asbestos if it weren’t for personal injury lawyers. You’re welcome.

I like how you put that.
