Oh no. I held onto that as some semblance of good news for the corals😭

I don’t like reading a lot of the defeatist, angry, antisocial type comments on here, but I feel like if I start blocking that stuff (like a lot of the political comms, but it’s also everywhere…), it’s going to feel too quiet😭

Well for example, I read they’re harvesting coral samples so we can try to regrow the coral reefs in the future.

“You’re someone I look up to.”

My brother has said “you’re someone I’ve always looked up to” and I was taken aback. We’re an action vs. telling type of family, one that does not give compliments lightly. It was the sweetest thing to hear. Meanwhile he was the one I admired for having his shit together.

Yeah if they landed in jail and or did some heinous crime. But knowing me, I’d word it as “you disappointment me” instead. Like this is a moment in time and they can still change

Not with the intent to strike up a conversation, but rather to be helpful. Like I might take the initiative to help offer directions or translation, etc. Or I might notice someone hmming and hawing and say, “Get the steak. The quality here is excellent😉.” But it’s not like I’m expecting a conversation lol. Honestly I can do friendly conversations, but I find them a bit like work😅

It’s an old style name, short for Clifford or Clifton. Sounds direct and manly, not common today amongst young people. However, Cliff sounds cool! It is “classic,” like someone else said. It would be memorable to others for sure. :)

Thank you for this🙏

I vote the cavemen if they come as a group

Hmm, The General’s tough but he’s also short. I bet the emu would fuck him up with one kick!

I, a very normal lady -like I would not give out identifying info but you’d probably be surprised- reading this post like 👀. I am sure I’m not the only one lol. Some of us have strong ideals about healthier internet browsing and are giving the fediverse a try. We are out there!

Yeah there’s coconut water, coconut milk, and coconut cream. Totally different!

Take care of yourself before you care for others😅

I’ve been walking around a lot in the city so a relaxing spa day sounds nice right about now! :)

I just treat others how I want to be treated. Like I’d never say something I wouldn’t say to someone face to face, just because it’s the internet.

First commenters are always “new”😆

I think therapy is always a good option depending on the person. But answering for myself, no therapy needed. To echo another comment, I don’t really get upset by patient cases, it’s more the coworkers that get to me. It does take a certain type of person to work in the ED. Like you need to be a person of action, you can’t be sensitive, can’t get hung up on small details, just do what you can, no regrets. Some aren’t cut out for it, but they usually don’t last that long and end up transferring to another unit.

Idk how long she’s been working in the ED, but if it’s been years now then she’s probably fine🤞🏻lol. And IMO it’s pretty normal for healthcare workers in general to not like talking about work when off the clock. But if she’s ranting, then it’s nice to have a listener even if you can’t fully understand. ;)

Aww Muriel doesn’t belong here!❤️

I experience the soap taste, not with cilantro but with certain beers. There’s a local brewery I go to that makes a certain beer that tastes like soap for me, like the smell(?) / aftertaste of a wax candle. It happens every time. And when I order a different beer, it’s gone. It’s not the glass. Drives me crazy not knowing what the heck it is lol. A genetic quirk I guess. Always a light colored beer, never dark. My partner thinks it’s some of the yeast notes.

Thanks for the zoomed in perspective!
