It’s whatever as long as the women aren’t too young. Like I’ve seen sleazy stuff in SEA and old dudes dating 18-early 20s year olds is fucked up. I don’t care if it’s legal and consented to. Their brains aren’t even fully developed at that age.

Raiders say Ravens have backed out of blockbuster trade for star pass rusher Maxx Crosby

Yeah the Ravens are looking very shady. I’m thinking they got buyer’s remorse. We’ll see if the Bears’ or Cowboys’ offers still stand.

Ravens Hire Jesse Minter as Head Coach

Jump

MelonYellow @lemmy.ca 3mo ago

Nice! I was waiting to see who the Ravens would hire because it seemed Ravens and Raiders were both looking at the same HC candidates. That still leaves us Kubiak or Webb. I’d be happy with either.

It’s interesting too that Mike McDaniel has yet to put pen to paper with the Chargers. 👀

A new California law requires a working fridge in all apartments. LA landlords fought it

Jump

MelonYellow @lemmy.ca 4mo ago

Guess they’ll just factor that into the price of the appts now. And what about all the people who already bought a fridge? Guess we’ll have a surplus of fridges for sale lol

People who have been to psych wards before, how was it?

Assuming this is for commitment to a locked facility:

Bring some clothes without strings, shoes (again, no strings allowed so you might want to consider slides or slippers), no belts, no scarves. I recommend slides since they double as shower shoes. Valuables, electronics, anything considered a hazard to have on the unit will be confiscated. Includes dangly jewelry, large rings. And in general, consider that there are many patients up and about, some very sick and confused - don’t bring anything you’d be devastated if it got stolen or damaged. Don’t bring food/drinks, cigarettes, lighters, drugs -foodstuffs bc they can’t be verified or stored for hygienic reasons.

No smoking, but they’ll have nicorette gums or patches.

Small amounts of toiletries brought from home may be allowed at their discretion.

You might be allowed to use your smartphone for a short time under supervision (no smartphones for privacy reasons). There should be shared computer, phone, headphones use.

Since you won’t have your phone, DO have important phone numbers written on a piece of paper if you don’t have them memorized.

Expect a non-invasive skin check with a nurse during intake.

SIGN the information release form for family and friends you want involved in your care. Without your permission, they will be turned away.

Ask when the visiting hours are. You can have people bring you food and sometimes order food delivery (check with the staff).

If another patient is bothering you, maybe you’ve got a problematic roommate -let a staff know. They can maybe find a different arrangement.

Shower early or late. Higher chance of having the shared bathroom to yourself.

Stay on the normal sleep schedule and don’t stay up too late. First of all, they track how you’re sleeping. Second, it really sucks to sleep through your daily check-in with the psychiatrist (who basically controls how long you’re staying).

Staff are required to do frequent 24hr safety rounds on everyone, so this means at night too.

There should be recreational time outside to get some fresh air. Some group activities that are optional but encouraged to attend.

But yes, the days are boring! These places are geared for medications and getting you out of a crisis situation - not so much therapy. Recommend bringing reading/writing materials. Daily journaling is a nice idea. Remember no spiral bound because the spirals are sharp.

Man dies of rabies after kidney transplant from donor who saved kitten from skunk

Jump

MelonYellow @lemmy.ca 5mo ago

That’s fucking crazy. I didn’t even know that was possible. I didn’t realize rabies goes through your organs, I thought it just goes to your brain. How incredibly unlucky. RIP.

I could understand the individual components but all together like that, idk

Edit: oh oops. I thought that light gray pillow peeking out was some kind of neck roll for neck support. Lol. This must be for shark week sex.

How can I explain that my last workplace was in a cult without seeming unprofessional?

Jump

MelonYellow @lemmy.ca 5mo ago

Maybe for small time employers, but I feel like big companies don’t care because there’s too many applicants. As in, between two equal candidates, they’ll take the one that sounds “unproblematic.”

Three French teens drown in freak car crash in swimming pool

Jump

MelonYellow @lemmy.ca 5mo ago

Well those kids were uniquely screwed. But I figure in a sinking car scenario, the best bet is to immediately roll down the windows. Even better to have manual windows so there’s no risk of automatic windows failing. I have that drilled into my brain, for let’s say I’m driving a car rental and by some freak accident fall off a cliff edge. Fuck waiting for the pressure to equalize, by then who knows how deep I’d be and I don’t trust how long I could hold my breath for.Roll. Down. The. Windows!
