18 people share behaviors that scream 'I'm not a good person.' Tag your enemies.

Most of us are often worried about being good people.

Remote file

Between all the different mediums we have to communicate with one another, it's getting harder to be consistently good. While there are the obvious things like: don't murder, don't steal and don't throw karaoke parties with all your musical theatre friends at 2 AM when your downstairs neighbors are trying to sleep (WE CAN HEAR YOU 3R), morality is a complicated issue that is never fully cut and dry.

When a recent Reddit user asked, "What screams "I'm not a good person" ? the internet was ready to share everything from their biggest pet peeves to their absolute, all bets are off deal breakers. Don't litter, guys.

1. Definitely, "undeadpirate528."

someone who goes out of their way to insult/criticize anyone or for the smallest mistake, or inconsistency.

Queue jumping. Those people cutting others off the line just because they think they should be first are spawns of tbe devil.

3. This is a big one, "Aggresiveeight."

Disrespectful of people’s personal property in their home

4. Yup, "Stormoto."

No awareness of their wrong doings and is non-trustworthy. Seems like a no-brainer.

5. Never stick someone else with the bill, "canarypalm."

Stealing stuff, lying to people, avoiding your responsibilities and sticking someone else with the bill

8. Definitely, "TheBlueWaxwing."

"I know this sounds manipulative and rude, but (manipulative statement)" shit like that

9. This is key, "bornfree254."

Never paying debts, even small ones. If you borrow money, even a dollar, with the promise to pay back, do so.

10. This is bullying, "penny-gadget."

Mocking people for liking unpopular but harmless things.

11. These people are monsters, "Fishwhocantswim."

My first job was in retail, and I used to think the worst bottom of the pile people were the kind of ppl who would take a shit load of clothes from hangars and try them on and just leave a heap on the floor in the change room.

12. Big red flag here, "wtfimbird."

Constantly telling people you are a good person.

13. Quit being a dick, "Meghanthefallen."

People who proudly state that they are assholes and have no intentions to change for anyone. The world doesn’t revolve around you, quit being a dick.

14. Sometimes it's better to not be honest, "QuasiQuintus."

Being a dick to everyone else, then trying to excuse that behavior by saying "I'm just brutally honest".

15. For real, "WeakRoll."

Littering.

If they're willing to be rude to someone in public, I can only imagine the kinds of stuff they say in private

17. Absolutely, "TenNinetythree."

Playing music audibly on public transport when others can hear.

18. Amen, "TheTige."

Punching down, i.e. treating those "below you" badly (be that at work, service workers, children, etc.) because you perceive yourself as higher status.


People noticed Nick Jonas’ Met Gala look was a ‘Little Finger’ vibe. Sophie Turner clapped back.

Last night at the Met Gala there were too many incredibly sparkly, sexy couples to count. In case you're unfamiliar, the Met Gala is a yearly party at the Metropolitan Museum of Art where Anna Wintour of Vogue judges who gets to be celebrity of the year based on what they're wearing. It's essentially a way for famous people to get together and remind each other how rich and good looking they are. But it looks so fun!

Standing out from the throngs of hotties was Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas.

Nick's brother, Joe Jonas recently got married in Vegas to "Game of Thrones" star Sophie Turner:

And the newlyweds truly crushed the game. Damn, Sansa, you're really having a moment right now. Own it.

However, some hardcore "Game of Thrones" fans started to notice that Nick's Met Gala look was suspiciously similar to a villain...

Nick must've noticed too, because he wasn't afraid to make fun of himself on Instagram:

And Sophie Turner clapped back like the true Sansa she is:

24 ridiculous behind-the-scenes Instagrams from celebs at the MET Gala. Relatable!

Every year, pictures from the Met Gala flood Getty and subsequently the entire rest of the internet with images of polished and poised celebrities dressed to the nines for the annual theme. While perusing the wildest Met Gala outfits is a beloved pasttime for many, whether its fueled by pettiness or admiring fandom, some of the most interesting images come from behind the scenes.

Remote file

As per usual, a handful of this year's Met Gala attendees took to Instagram to document their process of getting ready and fueled up. Naturally, their behind-the-scenes glimpses help further demistify the image of flawless people emerging onto the red carpet, and remind us that celebrities are human beings just like us. Except, unlike us, celebrities own a majority of the world's wealth and can funnel that wealth into fixing many of our problems, but I DIGRESS.

Regardless of how you personally feel about the red carpet spectacle of the Met Gala, it is tacitly fascinating to watch how the sausage is made. Particularly, when the sausage comes in the form of people wearing art installations on their bodies. So, without further adieu, here are 24 celebrity Instagram posts from Met Gala Monday.

We need to talk about Jaime Lannister's 'f*ckboy' move at the end of this week's 'Game of Thrones.'

0
0

The latest episode ofGame of Thrones, "The Last of the Starks," gave everyone whiplash.

Jaime Lannister and Ser Brienne of Tarth consummated their seasons-long "Pride and Prejudice" energy.

Of all the "ships" in the Seven Kingdoms, Jaime and Brienne has been the most obsession-worthy, hitting all those familiar rom-com beats. You know, Handsome Man meets Girl Who Doesn't Know She's Beautiful. They hate each other at first, but then Handsome Man becomes a better person just by knowing Girl Who Doesn't Know She's Beautiful and then she finally loses her virginity to him after defeating an army of ice zombies.

Our happiness didn't even get to last a full episode, because upon hearing that Cersei's army had decimated Daenerys's, he tried to sneak off in the middle of the night and return to his sister-lover.

The move brought forth a lot of questions.

First of all, HOW DARE YOU?

Secondly, is Jaime returning to King's Landing to be with Cersei, or to kill her?

Jaime is the Kingslayer—he's slayed mad monarchs before in the name of saving innocents. Has all of his character development over the years lead up to this moment, or has the

The internet is firmly divided into two camps.

There's Team Jaime is A F*ckboy:

And Team Don't Give Up On Our Beautiful Boy Just Yet, even though he made a whole "I'm a bad man!" speech. Jaime might have been doing that thing where he lied to his lover for her protection.

Something that supports the Jaime Is Actually Good theory is the Valonqar prophecy.

In the books, a witch named Maggy the Frog (who was not a frog despite being named Maggy the Frog), prophesized that Cersei will be choked to death, by the "valonqar," which is High Valyrian for "little brother":

Cersei: Will the king and I have children?
Maggy: Oh, aye. Six-and-ten for him, and three for you. Gold shall be their crowns and gold their shrouds, she said. And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you.

Cersei has long thought that "valonqar" refers to Tyrion, and has tried to have him killed on multiple occasions.

What if—and I cannot emphasize this enough—the little brother is indeed Jaime, who emerged second from the womb?

The ending of "The Last of the Starks" could be setting us up for the fulfillment of the prophecy, and it would be nice to have at least one such theory fulfilled now that "Jon is Azor Ahai" appears to have been stabbed in the heart by Arya.

On the one hand, Jaime killing Cersei would rob Arya Stark of the honor of completing her list.

On the other, Jaime killing Cersei would be awesome, completing his arc and setting him and Brienne up for a Happily Ever After.

But remember what Ramsey Bolton said:

Good samaritans get revenge on racist woman who threatened to call ICE on a taco truck.

0

Welcome to the United States of Hell! America has a racist, colonial history, ICYMI. And to make matters worse, our racist president and his racist policies (with a little help from the internet) has contributed to a dramatic rise in viral stories of white people hurling racist abuse at POC and immigrants just trying to go about their own lives. If we had any doubt that this is what Trump meant by "Make America Great Again," we can now be sure.

But we can't just sit back and bitch and moan about the state of the world (as satisfying as that may be). As Americans with any shred of decency, it's our duty to come together to fight back. And what better way to fight racism than with TACOS????!!!!

Remote file

One of the latest stories of white-people-behaving-racistly to go viral featured a woman in Dallas, Texas, since dubbed "Taco Truck Tammy," who threatened to call ICE on two Latina women running a food truck in front of her home back in April. A video of the woman, since identified as Valerie Jacobs, was posted on YouTube by Claudia Lopez, one of the women running the Taco Truck, where it went viral.

Lopez says that she had a permit to sell tacos in the neighborhood, but that didn't stop Jacobs from aggressively approaching the truck, while filming on her phone, saying, "OK, baby girl, vamanos. I’ll call ICE." In response, one of the truck workers can be heard saying: "I’m not your baby girl," and then they add, "OK, call ICE. Call them. You can call them. Call them right now."

In response to the dehumanizing, racist incident, a local chapter of the League of United Latin Citizens organized the best kind of protest: a Taco party, complete with a mariachi band, on Jacobs's street. The event's organizer, Domingo Garcia, described the unconventional protest in a Facebook event as a "Mariachi & Tacos Party for Taco Truck Tammy." The description reads:

We are responding with a love for our culture, sharing our understanding of our history, our food and a respect for people who are out there every day trying to make a living or simply living their life

Tbqh this seems like the most fun and respectful, not to mention delicious, protest ever!

The Mariachi has arrived! #TacoTruckTammy FB Event: facebook.com/events/364869961035662/?ti=cl

Posted by Domingo Garcia LULAC National President on Sunday, April 14, 2019

Since the incident, things have not been going so well for Tams. In an attempt to save face, she told news outlets she's not racist, saying: "I wish I’d used my words better." She also added, humiliatingly, "I like tacos! Just not in my neighborhood!" But according to Garcia's Facebook event, Jacobs, unsurprisingly, "has a sordid past of many racist incidents."

Remote file

To make matters worse for her, a real estate agent that was selling her house dropped her, telling the Daily Mail: "The house is now terminated and we no longer represent her."

But please, don't feel bad for Tammy, because: 1) She's a racist. 2) She calls adult women she doesn't know "baby girl." 3) She had a taco truck in front of her house—IN FRONT OF HER HOUSE. This is the American dream, and she blew it. What an insult to taco lovers everywhere, and humanity at large.

Four words for you, Tammy:

20 hilarious tweets that prove avoiding ‘Game of Thrones’ spoilers is more brutal than the Battle of Winterfell.

Love it or hate it, right now Game of Thrones is the talk of the town, or more accurately, the talk of the entire world. While the hype has been as real as dragons for years, this season all of the emotions are amped up as the show crawls towards its ultimate finale. Who, everyone is wondering, will claim the throne in the end?!

Remote file

However, given the Sunday evening airtime, and the fact that people from across different time zones, work schedules, and levels of HBO access are tuning in, the issue of spoilers is a big one with Game of Thrones.

Remote file

There are tons of Game of Thrones fans who work, sleep, or care for children during the air time, and are forced to squeeze in catch up time later. With many shows that wouldn't be an issue, but when you combine the intricate fast moving plot points of Game of Thrones with the fact that it's perpetually trending on social media, avoiding spoilers quickly becomes a battle in itself.

Remote file

If this problem is relatable for you, take comfort in the fact that you are far from alone. There are others doing everything from muting key words to avoiding coworkers just so they can savor the final season of this show. These 20 tweets only scratch the surface of the GoT spoiler struggle.

Jessica Chastain rips 'Game of Thrones' for what Sansa said to The Hound.

0
0

Game of Thrones not only struggles with its lighting, but also with its writing of women.

Sunday's episode, "The Last of the Starks," gave us a trifecta of trope-y moments. To many, Daenerys's descent into "Mad Queen" feels sudden and lazy. Brienne bawling in the courtyard over Jaime was somewhat out-of-character.

Most distressingly, however, was when Sansa Stark appeared to express gratitude for her abusers.

At the post-battle, post-funeral victory feast, Sansa reunited with Sandor "The Hound" Clegane. It was their first conversation since the end of season two, back when The Hound was King Joffrey's security guard in King's Landing.

The Hound made a disgusting, glib comment about Sansa having been raped by Ramsay Bolton, who she was forced to marry thanks to Littlefinger.

Sansa refrained from punching The Hound in the face, even though he totally deserved it.

The Hound mentioned that none of it would have happened had Sansa accepted his offer to flee King's Landing with him in season two, but she said that she has no regrets.

"Without Littlefinger and Ramsay and the rest, I would have stayed a little bird all my life," she said.

Jessica Chastain, who stars opposite Sophie Turner herself in this summer's X-Men movie Dark Phoenix, objected to this take that being raped and abused was somehow a character-building exercise.

"Rape is not a tool to make a character stronger," Chastain tweeted. "A woman doesn’t need to be victimized in order to become a butterfly. The little bird was always a Phoenix. Her prevailing strength is solely because of her. And her alone."

It's not because of "Littlefinger and Ramsay and the rest" that Sansa is smart and strong—it's because of Sansa.

The post prompted a debate in the comments, as most things do.

Game of Thrones has long been criticized for its depictions of sexual assault. Showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss included scenes of rape that were intially written as consensual in the books, including one in which an on-the-road-to-redemption Jaime Lannister raped his sister-lover in the Sept next to their son's corpse. Khal Drago and Daenerys's relationship began violently, yet we're supposed to view them as true love. The Ringercalled the episode in which Ramsay rapes Sansa as the worst episode of all time.

"There's a case to be made for confronting the audience with Sansa's suffering by demonstrating the horrors of her wedding night at the hands of Ramsay Bolton," Alison Herman wrote. "That the final shot of 'Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken' frames that suffering in terms of Theon's relatively minuscule discomfort is inexcusable. For many fans, this was a deal breaker — and who could blame them?"

Imagine what this season could be if it had at least one female writer.

HBO responds after getting roasted for the coffee cup in 'Game of Thrones.' R.I.P., another character.

In case you aren't an eagle-eyed "Game of Thrones" viewer and consider "Game of Thrones" more like "Wine with Thrones on my Couch + Dragons Before I Pass Out Because It's a Sunday Night," there was a big anachronism in last week's episode. Hint: It was a coffee cup.

People were naturally pretty upset about the fact that they were suddenly ripped out of the fantasy world of realms and giants and zombies to be reminded that Daenerys Targaryen is actually just an actress who needs a hot beverage and not a metal mug full of prop wine.

The jokes immediately poured in:

So many, in fact, that it would be just be irresponsible for HBO not to address it. Luckily, they did:

People, were somewhat receptive to the apology.

Considering this season cost HBO more than ninety million dollars to make, you'd think someone on this crew would've noticed. Emilia? Nothing?

HBO has also reportedly removed the coffee cup from the scene for streaming service purposes. Classic, "Game of Thrones," just callously killing off all our favorite characters...RIP, tea.

Viral thread brilliantly breaks down why men are confused by women’s advances.

0
0

A recent Reddit post posed an age old question, one that still haunts the minds and hearts of men attracted to women everywhere: how do I know if she's into me?!

Remote file

Even in 2019, with a plethora of apps and progressive conversation around dating trends, heterosexual romance is still largely initiated by men. Because of this, when women make the move there are a lot of men left confused or unsure of what signals mean.

In an attempt to bridge the understanding gap, Reddit user Topvennie started a discussion with this timeless question:

"What are some signs that girls give to boys that they like them that are obvious to girls but totally not obvious to boys?"

The discussion quickly came to a climax when a top comment rolled in, laying out a super common reason men often seem dense when women are making moves.

shadowrangerfs laid it out:

"Ok ladies. It's not that men don't get the signals. It's that every woman's signals are different. He had the same thing done by a woman who WASN'T interested in him. One woman's flirting is another woman's "Just being friendly".

For every woman talking about how a guy missed the obvious signal, there is another woman talking about how her friendliness is mistaken for flirting. You laughed at his jokes because you are interested. Another woman laughed because it was a funny joke.

"Unless you are literally getting naked or grabbing his dick, I guarantee that your "obvious signal" has been done to him by a woman who wasn't interested in him."

Other men were quick to echo the sentiment, sharing that one woman's friendliness can be another woman's flirting style. Plus, a lot of creepy men assume any polite woman is interested, so that's a pitfall a lot of guys are actively trying to avoid.

theslyturtle tries to avoid assumptions, for this reason.

"I think the problem is that guys don’t want to misinterpret things so we just don’t interpret them at all. If we tried to figure it out, we’d drive ourselves crazy. We don’t want to come across as creeps and lose potential friends or make a friend-group weird."

N2nalin truly does NOT want to be "that guy."

"Yup. If there's anything that guys fear more than getting rejected, it's being "That Guy": the guy who misunderstood friendliness as flirting, tried to make a move and now everything has gotten awkward..."

OddyseeOfAbe also added that some women are more prone to physical touch, which can be confusing when it comes to signals.

"I completely agree. I remember meeting this girl at a party and we started chatting for a bit, having a laugh, and I remember her laughing at one of my jokes and touching my arm. I thought this was great she must be in to me. A couple of my friends come over and she did similar arm touches with them."

"I have heard girls before say that physical contact like that is a sign that they like a guy but for her it was just a part of who she was and how she interacted with people."

shadowrangerfs doubled down and said the best way to avoid this confusion is to just ask a guy out, which makes sense given this is usually what women also want from men.

"Every time this topic comes up on reddit, I post this same thing. I hope that one woman will read it and realize that maybe the guy that she's sending signals to has had the same thing done by women who weren't interested. Then she'll "man up" and just ask the guy out."

Louis CK asked his fans to consent to not leaking his material. Y'all know the internet responded.

0
0

The news story that revealed Louis CK's habit for repeated acts of misconduct that involved luring women into rooms under false pretenses, asking to jerk off in front of them, and then doing so no matter the response, sparked a debate about consent. Many saw the story as a clear indication that this man abused his power over women in the industry, and ignored matters of consent so that he could get off. Some thought that as long as you *ask* to take your member out, it's totes chill, even if you don't wait for a "yes." Not how consent works, but we live in an age where everyone's thoughts are shouted into the cyber abyss, and you can pull up a chair and scroll through all of the terrible things people have to say about a topic they know nothing about. I believe this era is called "Hell.

Anyway, after apologizing for his actions in a lengthy statement that mostly talked about how admired he is, Louis CK took a small break from comedy. But that teeny-tiny hiatus is over, and now he's back in full swing. As you may recall, his first attempts at a comeback made headlines. One of his sets that was recorded included jokes that made fun of Parkland survivors and transgender kids, and another set made light of the allegations made against him. The joke in the second recorded set said was, "I like to jerk off. And I don't like being alone." Cute.

Louis CK still likes the idea of jerking off in front of people, but apparently he doesn't like being recorded without his consent. A venue that has him headlining an upcoming show posted about a new consent policy, which requires attendees to lock their phones away in a YONDR pouch and forbids them from repeating his material.

Top Chef host and beloved comedy darling Padma Lakshmi was not having it. She wrote on Twitter: Oh! So now Louis CK cares about consent.

Other people had some THOUGHTS as well.

You know things are going great in your comedy career when the last thing you want is for people to be talking about your jokes.

13 teachers share the sneakiest way their students have cheated. Happy Teacher Appreciation Day!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Day!

Teachers are often criminally underappreciated, especially by their paychecks, so it's nice that there's at least one day when educators are trending on Twitter!

It's important to appreciate teachers for all the nonsense they have to deal with, like these clever and not-so-clever cheaters who put forth their effort in scheming rather than studying. A Reddit thread asked teachers for their stories, and here are the best ones.

1. alave with a different type of Snapple fact.

High school kids recreated a Snapple label where the nutrition panel on the back had all the answers, formulas, etc. only got caught because I’d never seen the flavor before and wanted to see how much sugar was in it.


2. itellteacherstories tells teacher stories, and Morse code is for real.

I was supervising a final chemistry exam along with another coworker. Not 15 minutes in, a hand slams down on a desk and I turn around expecting the worst, only to see my coworker angrily shouting at a pair of really frightened 10th graders whose desk he smashed. Amidst the shouting I caught the words, “Morse code”. The guy proceeded to take them to the office. I called a hallway supervisor to take over and ran after the group.

Apparently, the kids were silently tapping the answers amongst themselves in Morse code. Not even with their fingernails, just their fingertips. I never heard a thing, my coworker happened to catch “B” in Morse code or something. I honestly thought he finally went crazy solely because of his appearance, picture Robin Williams in Jumanji going WHAT YEAR IS IT. I’m 100% sure that if this coworker weren’t in the room, they’d have gotten away with it for sure.


3. Always read the fine print, Chaps_and_salsa.

I was grading a written assignment that had a 1000 word count minimum and one particular paper just felt really short to me despite word telling me it was roughly 1100 words long. On a hunch I hit CTRL-A and sure enough after the paper concluded there was a lot of white nonsense text on a white background.


4. sarahsuebob learned from the best.

I’m a high school teacher, but this story is about my own high school math teacher playing us and “cheating.”

It was an honors algebra/geometry class, and it was well known that Mr D re-used the same questions every year, just changed the numbers. He made a big deal about making sure we all gave our exam papers back to him after we had looked at our scores and gone over everything together to prevent cheating for the next year.

Well, of course, some of my classmates got their hands on a complete set of tests from the previous year. Soon, everyone had a set. Before each exam, we would sit together and make sure we knew how to solve every problem on that test so we could do it on the real exam with different numbers.

Years later, when I became a teacher myself, I saw Mr D at a funeral. I confessed to him that this is what we used to do. He smirked and said “Who do you think leaked the test packet to get you to study?” Mr D had figured out that kids won’t study if the teacher suggests it, but if they think they’re getting away with something, they totally will, so he managed to get a test packet out and circulating as contraband. Blew my mind.


5. All students were teachers once, like BjornBeetleBorg.

Kid wrote the answers to a history test tiny on a piece of paper and rolled it into a clear blue pen only visible from maybe a foot away. only caught him because he wasn’t playing it cool trying to read be pen. also it tipped me off because I did that once in high school.


6. aabbccbb with the dumbest of the dumb.

One guy photocopied an article out of National Geographic, complete with the magazine headings and page numbers, and turned it in as his own work.

Oh, no, wait. That was the dumbest.


7. Tatem1961 isn't a teacher but this is just too funny.

In my college English class in Japan a professor had an "open anything that isn't connected to the internet" test. One student brought an American.


8. goodie23 will follow you into the bathroom.

We had to supervise when a student went to the bathroom during end of school exams and if they used a stall I was meant to check it while they washed their hands. Someone had to be the cause of that rule.


9. Kindergarteners cheat too, according to hmboo.

I taught kindergarten (I teach another grade now), and between 5-6 is a really interesting age. There’s a cognitive development that occurs between 5-7 where children become much more aware of the perspective of others, and therefore learn how to deceive their peers.

I could always tell when a student was a little ahead of the curve when they would cheat during games or activities. I caught one student during a math game deal out all of the low number cards to his peer while he kept all of the high number cards. He kept winning every single round. I walked around the classroom and stopped to watch these two students. The student who was dealt the low cards had no awareness that he had been dealt a shitty hand and was happily playing while the other student won every round and was cheering.

I had to stop the game to scold the student who was cheating, but in the back of my head I was just impressed that he was smart enough to cheat.


10. kindcrow knows about decoy phones.

I used to have students leave their phones at the front of the room, so they couldn't cheat. Twice I caught students with second phones. So dumb because they used their second phones to go to the course site and I could see who was on the course site--there was even a record of the exact time and exactly what resources they looked at. Both claimed it was a misunderstanding.


11. Blair_Bubbles knows the nail art trends.

My friend is a teacher of high school age students for math class. One girl had these reallllly long nails and would stare at them for quite some time....

Turns out, she printed out all the math formulas and stuck them under her long nails so she could quick reference them for the test.


12. 8nijda8 has been there, done that.

I have to remind my middle school students that I used to be one myself so I know what I’m looking for.

However, one girl I tutor told me that she sits next to the coat rack in her classroom and she puts answers in a coat pocket and she’s able to see it. She also writes everything she doesn’t know on her palm in pink ink so it’s easier to wipe off in an emergency.


13. daydreamer5000 is cool with loopholes..

Not cheating per say, but I was a substitute teacher a year or so ago. The instructions left for me stated that no one is allowed to have their cell phones to listen to music. So when 3rd period rolled around I told the class what they were doing for the day and let them know I had instructions not to let them have their phones to listen to music. One student raises their hand, I answer and ask "what's up"? He just kinda smiles and asked, "what if we have a Walkman"? I looked at him and was like what?

These 10 work-related horror stories from nurses prove that they are literal heroes.

0
0

Nurses have one of the toughest jobs out there, and in honor of Nurse Appreciation Week, we would like to acknowledge that. We literally would not be here without nurses and the work that they do. They keep us alive, even -- and especially -- when things get messy. As you can imagine, the things you witness as a nurse aren't always pretty. Humans have a lot of bodily fluids and complications that nurses have the pleasure of dealing with. In short, nursing requires a big heart and a big stomach.

So, just how intense can things get during a shift? The answer(s) to this can be found in a Reddit thread, where TheToonLunk asked nurses to share their worst work-related stories. Here are ten of wildest tales.

1. SillyBonsai

Had a nice older gentleman patient who was tachycardic, but all his labs were normal. He seemed like he took fairly good care of himself, was a little disheveled but he dressed nice and had nice shoes. We initially couldn't find anything wrong with him, but he had a peculiar odor to him that seasoned nurses would get suspicious of. I asked him if he had any infections on his body that he knew of, and he said "no", but I wanted to do a thorough check, so we took off all his clothes, and he was fine, until I got down to his feet.

He was wearing an old pair of socks, and as I peeled them down, literally the skin around his foot came off with the sock. I was essentially degloving his foot. It was so vile, I couldn't even get down more than a couple inches. It was raw flesh under those socks. The wound odor was so strong, I knew then that his feet were the source. He probably hadn't changed his socks in several months. He ended up being admitted and given lots of antibiotics and wound care.

The memory of pulling down his socks will haunt me forever.

2. Thpfkt

Lady with sores and foul smelling discharge coming from her vagina. We spent days trying to figure out what had happened, labs sent, no infections, swabs clear.. it was an enigma.

Until I caught her douching her vagina with bleach. She thought that’s how you kept it clean.

Sex education is important guys!

3. S10thRN

Tough to choose honestly. A couple years ago I took care of a long haul trucker who developed a wound on the underside of his ballsack. The vibration of the truck seat wore away at his scrotum, and he developed an infected ulcer. As you can imagine, this makes for a very fragile situation. One day we were helping him out of bed when his scrotum ruptured wide open, pus splattered everywhere, and his testicles flopped out. A bad day for all involved.

4. dimladiar

My best friend is an RN and her favorite story is about a super nice lady in her late 30s who came in because of a labial abscess. Basically she got an ingrown hair from shaving, which got infected and resulted in most (if not all...I can't remember) of her labia needing to be removed.

But why stop there, right?!

Turns out, the tissue just did. not. want. to. heal. She was in the hospital for nearly a month while they continued to i&d farther and farther up this poor woman's abdomen until she basically had no flesh from the belly button down to her lady bits. It did finally start to heal but holy fuck, man.

5. Dude_RN

Things I’ve helped remove from grown men’s penis: LEGO lightsaber, baby carrot, plastic spoon, small circular magnets, purple crayon, golf pencil. And I’ve only been in emergency medicine for 6 years.

6. sundermunich

Idk about worst but I'm at work right now and a few hours ago I asked a patient for a urine sample and was punched in the throat. Thankfully it's gotten better since then.

7. Laboucane

hopeless romantic

my mother in law is a nurse and every year around christmas there is a man who comes in with a candle stuck up his bum that progressively gets bigger. last year she compared the candle to the size of a pickle jar

8. zombie_goast

Too many to choose from, so I'll just go with a recent one. Was doing wound care on a diabetic man who took 0 care of himself. It was a foot ulcer with necrotic tissue and gangrene, awesome. As I was pulling the old dressing off, i felt a subtle crunch. I looked and saw that yep, the dressing pulled one of the mans necrotic toes completely off with it. The hell of it is? He just sighed and said "not again". Turns out just a few months ago, his OTHER foor was at that level of ulceration, and one of THOSE toes came off when he went to put shoes on...how he failed to notice the smell and severity (although tbh he was morbidly obese and couldn't even see his feet) is a mystery.

9. kalieldriel

A 13 year old boy once ejaculated on my arm in front of his grandmother.

He was in the ER for a boil near the base of his penis. Went to do wound care, didn't even touch the penis itself, barely had started and then SPLOOGE.

ALL OVER MY FUCKING ARM.

10. herbalcamille

My father worked in ER at the beginning of his nursing career, and he said one of the hardest things he had experienced was a young man who shot himself in the face, but he was still alive. All that was left was the back of his neck/bottom part of his skull. The man died a short time later, but could you imagine seeing something like that? God bless nurses, they truly deal with so much.

Video of Piers Morgan experiencing pain of simulated childbirth on air will brighten your day.

0
0

Piers Morgan, one of the world's highest paid trolls, is known for his entitled old white dude opinions on everything from men showing affection to their children (bad!) to the need for a "men's march." This human parasite especially loves to come after high-profile female celebrities, like Sophie Turner for the crime of talking openly about her mental health. He even criticized Ariana Grande for how she reacted to surviving the Manchester bombing. It's almost like this crusty bag of bigotry is threatened by strong women.

Remote file

During a recent segment on Good Morning Britain, while discussing the birth of the Royal Baby and Prince Harry's reaction, the hosts discuss the totally relevant question of whether men, too, "suffer" during childbirth. Morgan, of course, claims that they do.

He then got a dose of the physical pain women go through, and it may just change his tune. On air, Morgan was hooked up to a labor simulator, aka a "TENS machine" (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), run by a “torturer” (dream job!) who increased the intensity as Morgan writhed, screamed, and eventually begged him to stop (after only five minutes!!!!). Of course, no simulator can come close to the actual experience of pushing a human out of your body after cooking it for NINE MONTHS; and labor generally lasts WAY longer than five minutes. But nonetheless, based on Morgan's reaction, he did experience at least a fraction of what women go through on the reg. And it looks PAINFUL. If watching Piers Morgan scream in agony doesn't make your day, IDK what will! Enjoy:

That did look painful as all hell. Let's give it up for the real heroes: women who give birth. And also women who have to co-host a TV show with this sexist gas-bag every day. Not sure which is worse tbh.

Hilary Duff kept it 100 about why she quit breastfeeding and moms are here for it.

When she's not acting her heart out on Younger, Hilary Duff stays busy as a mother to 7-year-old Luca and 6-month-old Banks.

From the very start of her leap into motherhood, Duff has kept it super honest with her followers about the struggles and learning curves that come along with raising two small humans and holding down a demanding job.

A post shared by Hilary Duff (@hilaryduff) on

Just last year she opened up about how her body has changed since pregnancy, and encouraged other mothers (and women in general) to embrace their body for what it does, rather than disparage it based on photoshopped standards.

Now, in a recent post, she opened up about her difficulties breastfeeding Banks, and why she had to eventually stop.

View this post on Instagram

THIS ONE’S FOR THE LADIES Just a few thoughts that I wanted to share on Breast-feeding. Last week was my last week nursing Banks (my six month old) I am a working mom of two. My goal was to get my little girl to six months and then decide if I (and her of course) wanted to keep going. Let me tell you. Pumping at work sucks. I had zero down time and am usually pumping in a hair and make up trailer while four hands work to get me ready for the next scene with lots of other people around. Even if I had the luxury to be in my own room, it’s not even considered a “break” because you have to sit upright for the milk to flow into the bottles! Plus you are having your damn nipples tugged at by an aggressive machine that makes an annoying sound, that echoes through your head day and night (I swear that machine and I had many conversations at midnight and 3 am)! Ttttthen having to find someplace to sterilize bottles and keep your milk cold (ok I’m done with that rant lol)! Anyway, I didn’t know this because with Luca I didn’t work until he was about nine months old, so I didn’t pump very often. Your milk supply drastically drops when you stop feeding as often and lose the actual contact and connection with your baby (😞). So I was eating all the feunugreek goats butt blessed thistle fennel cookies/drops/shakes/pills I could get my hands on! It was maddening. (Does fenugreek make anyone else smell like maple syrup and rubber gloves?...not chill) With all of this complaining, I want to say I enjoyed (almost) every moment of feeding my daughter. Felt so lucky to be so close to her and give her that start. I know many women are not able to and for that I am sympathetic and very grateful that I could. For six wonderful months. But I needed a break. I was going to break. With the stress of a dropping milk supply and a baby that was getting bored or not caring about nursing when I was available to. I was sad and frustrated and feeling like a failure all of the time. When really I’m a bad ass rock star. Moms get high on feeling like superwoman...because we are! Doing too much, because we can!

She started her post by shouting out all the ladies, and sharing how hard it can be to pump at work:

"THIS ONE’S FOR THE LADIES Just a few thoughts that I wanted to share on Breast-feeding. Last week was my last week nursing Banks (my six month old). I am a working mom of two.

She gets what she wants 🍓

A post shared by Hilary Duff (@hilaryduff) on

She then went on to describe how pumping took up her few minutes of breathing on set, and she often had to pump while in hair and makeup.

"I had zero down time and am usually pumping in a hair and make up trailer while four hands work to get me ready for the next scene with lots of other people around. Even if I had the luxury to be in my own room, it’s not even considered a “break” because you have to sit upright for the milk to flow into the bottles! Plus you are having your damn nipples tugged at by an aggressive machine that makes an annoying sound, that echoes through your head day and night (I swear that machine and I had many conversations at midnight and 3 am)!"

She contined by talking about how her milk supply drastically dropped when she strated pumping, which posed another issue.

"Ttttthen having to find someplace to sterilize bottles and keep your milk cold (ok I’m done with that rant lol)! Anyway, I didn’t know this because with Luca I didn’t work until he was about nine months old, so I didn’t pump very often.

(Does fenugreek make anyone else smell like maple syrup and rubber gloves?...not chill) With all of this complaining, I want to say I enjoyed (almost) every moment of feeding my daughter."

Duff shared that when her milk supply started dropping, and pumping became a time-eating struggle in the middle of work, she felt it was time to throw in the towel.

"Felt so lucky to be so close to her and give her that start. I know many women are not able to and for that I am sympathetic and very grateful that I could. For six wonderful months. But I needed a break. I was going to break. With the stress of a dropping milk supply and a baby that was getting bored or not caring about nursing when I was available to.

BFFs

A post shared by Hilary Duff (@hilaryduff) on

She then added comments about how far women push themselves all the time, particularly when they become moms, and how hard it can be to not beat yourself up for not magically doing more.

"We are strong as hell over-achievers. I am amazed at all that we can do in one single day! That goes for myself, my mom friends, my mom, or my sister! I’m talking to you too mom, I don’t know who’s reading this. I wanted to share this because deciding to stop BFing was so emotional and hard. I thought about it ALL day everyday. It was a constant loop in my head. Weighing the pros and cons. And half of the time I wasn’t making any sense. It was about me, and not Banks at that point. I cried many times and felt so depressed while weening. I wasn’t myself at all. Something scary was hovering over my brain and my heart...the part of me that I know is smart and rational. The lows felt horrible."

On top of all of those feelings of guilt and frustration, Duff also noted the legitimate oxytocin withdrawals that started when she stopped breastfeeding.

"I was missing good time with my baby. But I was really missing that natural oxytocin high. Those chemicals are powerful hormones and no joke. I am happy to say that I haven’t fed or pumped in three days and it’s crazy how fast you can come out on the other side. I feel fine and happy and relieved and silly that I even stressed on it so hard."

A post shared by Hilary Duff (@hilaryduff) on

Duff wrapped up her post by celebrating the fact that Banks has quickly adjusted, and encouraged other moms to give themselves some credit.

"Banks is thriving and I get even more time with her and daddy gets to do more feeds! And mommy gets a tiny bit more sleep! Whether you are pre or postpartum. Or just a busy mom, You are a 🦸‍ everyday for all that you do. Always putting yourself last and running a mile a minute...while carrying all of the bags lol. Love you all and hope this helps anyone struggling!
See you nursing bras✌🏻 until next time!"

Trump is branded 'Billion Dollar Loser' after damning financial report. His response only made it worse.

0

Donald Trump is having A Day.

The "failing" New York Timesposted a comprehensive report on Trump's tax information from 1985 to 1994, and it revealed over $1 billion dollars in business losses.

To paraphrase Justin Timberlake in The Social Network: You know what's cooler than losing a million dollars? Losing a BILLION dollars.

"The numbers show that in 1985, Mr. Trump reported losses of $46.1 million from his core businesses — largely casinos, hotels and retail space in apartment buildings," the Times reports. "They continued to lose money every year, totaling $1.17 billion in losses for the decade."

His losses were so steep, that he didn't have to pay income taxes for eight whole years.

This is like Arya Stark stabbing the myth of a "self-made billionaire" right in the heart, as the Times detailed a decade of bad business decisions, as well as decadent living.

Despite making bad business decisions, Trump's standard of living never decreased because he still got an allowance from his dad:

Mr. Trump was able to lose all that money without facing the usual consequences — such as a steep drop in his standard of living — in part because most of it belonged to others, to the banks and bond investors who had supplied the cash to fuel his acquisitions. And as The Times’s earlier investigation showed, Mr. Trump secretly leaned on his father’s wealth to continue living like a winner and to stage a comeback.

The Daily News called Trump the "biggest loser," which must kill as it is words that he actually understands.

The non-MAGA hat/Russian bot half of Twitter had fun with this report, branding Trump the #BillionDollarLoser.

The big brain genius, in his infinite wisdom, took to Twitter to argue that he is not a bad businessman, but rather recorded massive business losses on purpose so he wouldn't have to pay taxes...a cute "sport" also known as "tax fraud."

In case you are unfamiliar, tax fraud is illegal.

That's right...the president is admitting to tax fraud to own the libs. Suck it, nerds!!!

The joke is on us. The president isn't a bad businessman, but rather, an excellent criminal.

Meanwhile, Trump is using the office of the presidency to redefine the formula for calculating poverty in hopes of kicking millions of people off of food assistance programs.

Hopefully they all have rich dads.

17 reactions to comedian flipping off #BlackLivesMatter activists that are funnier than his special.

Maybe you've heard of Nick Di Paolo and maybe you haven't. Either way, you've probably seen people roasting him online over the past couple of days. So, who is he? Nick Di Paolo is a comedian and television actor with a new comedy special called, "A Breath of Fresh Air." According to the poster for the special, this supposed rejuvenating experience is brought to us by Nick Di Paulo flipping off a photo-shopped crowd of young, diverse activists. The man who has tucked his blue button down into his blue jeans is here to spout off some fresh, hot takes that will *checks notes* offend minorities? A never before seen phenomena.

Remote file

The comedian promoted his new album online, letting people know they could watch it for free on YouTube (another innovative idea).

And it didn't take long for the roast to begin.

Comedian Sachi Ezura pointed out something important and horrifying about the poster. One of the men that Di Paolo had edited into his poster is Muhiyidin Moye, an activist who was shot and killed.

And apparently Di Paolo was not aware that the person he had copy and pasted into his promo ad was a slain #BlackLivesMatter activist. Looks like he didn't do any research on this one. Shocking.

Then, people roasted him for this extra layer of ignorance.

In case you're wondering what the special is like, these reactions sum it up quite nicely.

Thanks for the breath of fresh air, Nick. This was fun.

Florist shuts down entitled bridezilla after being asked to do 80 hours of free work.

0
0

The idea of getting paid in "exposure" is not only deeply offensive to whoever is providing a skill or service, but it's also just not how money works. Even people at the beginning of their career need to feed themselves and pay rent, so the euphemism of asking for free labor in exchange for "exposure" truly never makes sense.

Remote file

Deep down, I believe even the people peddling the notion of unpaid labor for exposure know that it's BS, and that's why they don't get directly honest and ask for volunteer work.

Remote file

A recent Imgur post exposed the worst of the worst, a bride who tried to manipulate a professional florist into doing 80 hours of unpaid labor in exchange for "nice photos" of the arrangements.

Remote file

The exchange started off relatively normal, the bride sent a photo of her desired style of arrangement, and asked the florist if it looked doable.

However, the exchange quickly got dicey when the florist responded with her rates, as any professional would do in this situation.

The bride-to-be was quick to ask why the wedding flowers would cost so much, a question she could have easily answered with basic research. Nonetheless, the florist was patient and kind and laid out the hours of work required to complete a wedding's worth of flowers.

With absolutely no shame in her heart, the bride-to-be responded by admitting she hoped the florist would do the work for free, in exchange for nice photos and exposure.

The bride-to-be even had the nerve to claim she imagined the florist "could spare the time" to help them out. Keeping it incredibly professional, despite the bridezilla's demands, the florist then realized this was a hopeless case, and exited herself out of the equation.

Perhaps the most frustrating part of this whole interaction is the knowledge that this woman will invariably send the same demands to other florists until she finds someone who will lower their rates or a newcomer looking for experience who will bend to her will. Working freelance in creative fields is an endless practice in standing up for yourself and the professional skills you've built.
