When I worked at a county hospital a not insubstantial number of nurses in the ER would mock rape victims if they were "too dramatic". It's pretty telling when the psych patients prefer the people who apply restraints to the nurses. :smith:

I'm a nurse and I don't like Elise's stories. Of course, I've never said that in the "patients making GBS threads everywhere" megathread because there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the stories other than colorful exaggeration and I don't want to be a dick just for no reason.

Speaking of, I'm going to repost this because of someone I recently saw that was injured and probably going to die because another driver was texting:

Huns posted:

I text while driving because I am a stupid gay baby. I cannot wait another 15 minutes to interact with my attention-surrogate machine because I am a thoroughly defective human being. I can't fathom why it is that anyone thinks it's a problem. I mean, I'm just driving around in a 3,000 pound battering ram with 80 pounds of explosive liquid on board. Part of me realizes that texting while driving is idiotic, yet the idea of "being told what to do" disgusts me. Therefore, I have to prove to the world (and myself, although I can't admit that part to myself) what an extraordinary human being I am. I'm going to take my attention off my rolling bomb and update my friend on something so incredibly trivial that no one in his or her right mind would put themselves or others in danger in order to communicate it in the most optically distracting way possible. You see, I literally can't perceive that it's dangerous to do that. I am such a self-absorbed twat that I find it totally cool to deprive myself and everyone around me of what little safety margin we have on the road because I can't stand not getting instant satisfaction from my shiny object. This is the decision I make every single time I get on the road.

In short, gently caress you. I'm an American, goddamnit. An American.

Nissans are marketed almost exclusively to subprime car buyers and are utter crap next to all their competition. They're the FCA of Japanese brands: dreary, shoddy plastic garbage with obsolescent engines, hateful transmissions, and suspension and chassis engineering that feels like every bushing is made of soft-serve. Altimas and Maximas are driven exclusively by people who can't afford a lovely BMW, but still want to weave through traffic and change lanes without signalling. If you're driving down a strip mall and suddenly feel a profound lash of depression, it's probably because there's a Nissan dealer nearby. They tried to built a front-wheel-drive LeMans car, missed the first three races, and managed to run exactly one (1) race with it before giving up. They turned the Pathfinder into a crossover to complement their crossover designed specifically for retirees (the Murano). Sitting in a Versa causes cancer and makes dogs commit suicide. Carlos Ghosn fired a superlaser and a million 300ZX TTs, R32 GT-Rs, and Sentra SE-Rs suddenly cried out and were then silenced, and now you can pay $1900 to put some Star Wars badges on your Rogue which helpfully comes with a helmet because they assume you're either a retard or ashamed to be driving it and want to hide your face. They looked at what happened to Mitsubishi since the 1990s and said "yes, I'll have some of that". What the gently caress are you even talking about.

Dude has some strong opinions about Nissan.

I can't quite remember the name, but there's a short story by Borges about an ancient city in which a random drawing is continuously used to reassign jobs and other roles in society. Everyone is proconsul at some point and a slave at some other point, their positions constantly being shook up in accordance with this Mesopotamian city's raffle.

I've been a scientist, language teacher, a market analyst and a bunch of service jobs and while my experience is broad and that's all great if I'd stuck with one of them I'd be on close to 100k, instead I'm pretty close to the poverty line. My friends who stuck with their boring lovely college degree careers make metric shitloads and while I'm not sure if I envy them or not, I am sure that if I hadn't been born middle class and white in a first world country I'd either be thankful for my boring job or homeless. Not sure where I'm going with this.

Actually it's called "The Lottery in Babylon" - La loteria en Babilonia, not La loteria de Babilonia. It's a small but crucial difference, given the story's implications.

When I graduated high school I moved out of state to a fairly well paying industrial job. I got bad social anxiety and depression so it wasn't exactly the best experience. I moved up there by myself, lived on my own, and didn't know anybody up there. I think if anyone else was given the opportunity of a clean slate with a well paying 9-5 job they would excel; not me though.

I don't got much experience talking to anyone, more specifically the ladies. I'm addicted to porn and I hate it. I often masturbate 6 times a day to any fetishes you can imagine. So since this was the first time I lived on my own, I decided to get a little frisky and buy a toy.

I bought this giant replica rear end/vagina replica of some porn star I can't remember and a couple starter dildos for the prostate off Adam and Eve.

Well the dildos came in first so I used them. I was feeling a little constipated earlier in the day but didn't think nothing of it. After reaching climax I took the dildo out, stood up and there was a small puddle of poo. Instead of cleaning it up I just slept on the opposite side of the bed for 4 months.

I was really excited when my rear end came in. I named her Susan. I had never used anything like it before, the pleasure was amazing. The first 6 times were great, but after a while she started to stink because I didn't clean her out.

I remember leaving one weekend to visit my family back home and when I came back it was like a horror scene. Fruit flies were everywhere, they were coming straight out of Susan's Anus. The stench of dried lube and rotten cum was too much....

I spent well into the triple digits on Susan though so I got one last round in. It was weird taking that shower and having to wash off dead fruit flies off my dick.

Anyway, that was about 8 years ago now. After a suicide attempt, I reached out and got the medical help I needed. I was hosed in the head back then. Took years of therapy and I still got PTSD from those months of my life but I think I'm getting better.

So the entire game everyone is crouching and moving around and then the dude finishes bullshitting and suddenly it's like a game of freeze tag where the entire server would just stop moving (even shooting) to type "Praise be" in order to not get banned. It was loving bizarre, and I stayed in it about 10 minutes to really soak in the absurdity of what was going on. Bonus: he would "randomly" choose quotes from "scripture" but it was almost entirely evangelical televangelist bullshit about hating gay people.
