Easy peasy. Hit 'em with my girl failure, autistic rizz. Never misses.

Psychopath stalker activated by code phrase:

Helped me cope with anxiety, depression and being neurodivergent.

As someone who spends a lot of their time online interacting with furries/scalies, they are very cool people and I love them. 100% would recommend hanging around with them, over the last 8 years they've been nothing but nice to me. And yeah I love furry art style games, they're cute!

I remember being nervous meeting my new therapist, after my prior one of 10 years quit and went into equine therapy. We chatted superficially, and he seemed OK. I opened up a bit about my chronic depression I've had since my early teens. It wasn't easy to talk about.

He said he had a therapy that would help retrain the brain to cure itself of depression. But he said there was a diet you needed to follow to get good results. I was mildly interested, his work had had some positive results so far, I asked him what diet.

"No more vegetables. In fact your body needs nothing more than red meat! It provides everything you need."

I looked at him. "Wait, what's wrong with vegetables?"

"They're attacking your body. They release toxins. They don't want to be eaten."

Can you imagine how I felt, having just opened myself up to this man, exposing vulnerabilities I don't like to think about, only to find out that he was an enormous quack? How it was to be in a room with a man terrified plants were out to kill him, he'd done the research.

I left. I cancelled all my booked appointments. I stopped therapy for about a year.

Thankfully I've a new, better therapist. But the encounter has stuck with me.

OK so tell me how can something be bland but also annoying? The very definition of bland/boring is that it elicits no emotion. Lots and lots of characters are bland and boring, but not only would I not call any of those "annoying" because it makes no sense, Aloy undeniably gets singled out a lot more than them, too.

To use a recent example that comes to mind... The MC of Metaphor is bland and boring. That fairy side-kick is not that, but she's definitely annoying.

Pretty sure I was told in high school by a bunch of girls that I was boring and annoying 😑 😅

*sigh*

Look, objectively I can see Emma is the better character. HOWEVER, Jean is my favourite X-man. Little girl me was enamoured by her and the fact her name was almost the same as mine.

I've worked in nursing for over 10 years and in healthcare for nearly 15, and I've been called some interesting stuff (not all of it good). But definitely the strangest compliment I've ever received was from an old fella whom I just helped get ready for the day.

He said, "They should bottle your blood"

I looked up.

"Because it's so precious."

I didn't know how to process this one and just smiled and said thank you.

To this day I still think about that compliment and wonder if this old fella was secretly a vampire.

What's the strangest compliment you've ever received, Era?

A preface: due to the nature of my work I have to be vague about some things. Confidentiality is a right.

I've worked as a casual nurse now about 7 years, but I have about a year's worth of contract experience in a unit I'll dub the dementia ward. About 2 years ago I worked nights on the unit and it was really hard work. One of the hazards to the job was physical violence from patients.

It was on nights on this ward that I had my first experience of being punched in the head. It was...unpleasant. A culture grew up around the staff there that physical abuse was just part of the job, and I was often told "learn to dodge faster". It wasn't a malicious thing if was just resignation to a fact. Our patients had dementia, we can't blame them for the way they behave. We often took pride in that we were caring for the undesirables of nursing society, that we were caring for people that no one else cared about.

Anyway, when my contract was up I didn't renew it (I studied overseas). Now we've had huge movements in the hospital network in. My old hospital was closed and I'm working in a new hospital where some old wards have been shifted to. I've been here since November and unsurprisingly many of the staff here at this other hospital don't want to work in the dementia ward or don't have the experience. I slowly found myself working every single shift there. And the work environment somehow got worse. There were more patients in a bigger ward and they were more violent. Like, really bad. The usual attitude on the ward that we were caring for people that nobody else cared for started to sour. They are constantly understaffed and the moral felt low in the new staff members. The original staff members kind of just carried on.

It was 2 months into working exclusively on the dementia ward. I was getting tired. I asked if I could have a little break from there. I ended up with no work for a week. So I sucked up and continued.

Then I found myself doing one to one care for a man who was especially violent. I was alone in the room with him and he attacked me. I hit the emergency bell and a minute or so passed and no one had come. I started to panic and I pushed the guy heavily and he fell on the bed. I ran out the room and saw someone was finally coming. I was so angry. Not about the violence but that when I needed help no one came. The response I got was that they were either not on the floor or they heard the bell and thought that a patient had hit it by accident (it happens a lot on that ward). And then I got the old adage, "learn to dodge faster" and I lost it.

A panic attack later and I told management I wasn't going back. Not for a long time. They've been better about giving me work but I haven't got as much as I used to. And now today, only 2 weeks after I said no to the dementia ward I get asked to go there again. It feels so hard, sometimes, to set boundaries on what I can and can't do. But just the thought of going back made me nervous and I knew I had to say no. It just feel like it's so hard sometimes. I wanted work, I needed it. But I don't want to be hit any more.

No one from that ward has rung up to check on me. It's not surprising but it's just so sad. What are we nurses supposed to do about a culture where violence is expected? Where money and funding is the deciding factor on whether a guard will be present or not and not the certain threat of physical harm?

I'm honestly considering finding a different job in a completely different field. But might be impossible and health care is all I know.

Tl;dr a patient tried to strangle me and staff think it's part of the job.

And here we go

Been following this a bit today. There is already a strong online push about the shooter being trans

There is a push of that with every single shooting over like the last 5 years. Not something that needs to be entertained here at all.

Pawtucket shooter’s gender identity tied to past family disputes, court records show

At a late-night news conference, Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said Dorgan also went by the name “Roberta,” and court documents show his gender identity played a role in multiple family disputes over recent years.

In early 2020, Dorgan went to the North Providence Police Department and reported he had recently undergone gender-reassignment surgery and that his father-in-law wanted him out of their North Providence home because of it.

Around the same time, Dorgan’s then-wife Rhonda Dorgan filed for divorce. Under grounds for divorce, Rhonda initially wrote, “gender reassignment surgery, narcissistic + personality disorder traits.” Those reasons were then crossed out and replaced with “irreconcilable differences which have caused the immediate breakdown of the marriage.”

shooter not only trans, but MAGA as well. sad situation, but reetards will keep on pretending like the modern trans ideology (take up arms folx!) they incessantly parrot isn't a gateway to violence. they love to criticize white males for any and everything, but not this???

The trans shooter stuff is going to keep happening because those shooters are often mentally ill and trans people are also often mentally ill. You got a venn diagram that inevitably overlaps. 

Meanwhile trans activists don't really want to acknowledge that mental issues are more common in their group than in others because that might lead to some awkward questions

why has it seemingly only kicked into what could be called a pattern in recent years, though?

[Cheers]

Trans people don’t want to admit just reassigning genders fixes everything. That many of them need years of various types of therapy.

[filler]

turns out affirm culture + experimental drugs and mutilation surgeries don't cure you from feeling like shit 


they've been selling this dream that going trans will save your life and how it's the thing to obtain that will fix you. then when it doesn't there's going to either be self-harm, or worse. ultimately it's a continuation of the already unhealthy lifestyle just about all of these new trans types have been living.


I remember watching an interview with a mental healthcare professional who had been working with kids that were struggling with gender dysphoria and he said they were finding that mostly the kids have internalized homophobia. autism and being online too much seems to push that into "I must be trans!"

I think it's also a matter of the more effeminate boys/men, gay and bisexual also. mix it with some autism and they'll go the easy route of being trans over facing what's really going on. being effeminate, gay or bisexual as a man doesn't get you instant affirmation and have people reluctant to call you out on having degenerate behavior. being trans does. suddenly all your weird autistic and effeminate behaviors are entirely acceptable. 


I've solved this one, boys. pack it up 

[benji]

why has it seemingly only kicked into what could be called a pattern in recent years, though?

Simple probability meets rapidly rising population trend.

For example, assume just for the ease of calculation that 1% of the mentally ill are going to do a shooting and 1% of trans people are this level of mentally ill, that's a probability of .01% for the entire trans population. So if the trans population jumps like this you get a corresponding jump in shootings:
1. 10,000 -> 1 shooting
2. 100,000 -> 10 shootings
3. 1 million -> 100 shootings
4. 100 million -> 10,000 shootings (of the original 10,000 people?)

The population was simply too small before now to have enough potential shooters, especially because the actual probability is far far lower than in my example. It'd be like if you looked at the number of fatal car accidents in, say, 1900 and every tenth year after. There wouldn't be comparatively any in 1900 and even 1910. But over 1915-1920 each year would add more cars to the road than in every year before 1915 combined.

This is also why the perceived out-of-control-trend of shootings increasing is deceptive: there's more Americans than ever. (With greater mobility than ever.)

FACT CHECK: She didn't say she'd defend her kids specifically.

[Snoopy]

Grouping trans in with the ree/bluesky loonies is unfair. I don't like recommending trans stuff on here because I know ree are watching but it's important to try and bring some balance

If only there was some indication that doing the exact inverse of all other psychological treatment in combination with chasing "miracle cures" and apocalyptic rhetoric would have poorer results than well-established practices.

Had to block quite a few people on Bluesky (who frequent Era) that were incredibly dismissive of articles from women detailing the misogynistic tropes that Kojima still trades in present in DS2. Allies only when its most convenient for them...

The article he linked

https://www.avclub.com/the-women-of-death-stranding-2-are-stuck-in-a-sad-cycle

But again, in Death Stranding, women—and, again, it’s only and specifically women, not trans men, not non-binary people who have ovaries—are inherently associated with the idea of the womb. Associating women primarily with motherhood and, specifically, with having a womb is a keystone of biological essentialism and, by extension, gender essentialism as an ideological stance.

Someone mad that pregnancy is associated with women and that pregnancy has more importance after an apocalypse

Just fucking mentally ill people

Have there not been a number of trans/cross dressing serial killers over the last few decades though?

Maybe they've just changed how their psychopathy is manifesting?

[kaleidoscopium]

Higher rates of mental illness in that community, hug box syndrome, “egg culture”, bunch of things make them predisposed to attract lunatics. And then the violent rhetoric used the past 4-5 years has amped them up further, so not surprising to see more trans shooters popping up. 

Them trying to sweep it under the rug is more disappointing, should be a time to reflect and consider if they’re the ones exacerbating the issue but… nope

[Daffy Duck]

Yeah it’s always the same with them, usual suspects saying they must take up arms and then they go all shocked Pikachu when one of the fringe loonies takes up arms and kills a bunch of people, you need to fucking own that shit you cunts not wash your hands of them and say they just MAGA scum.

Maybe if the scientific community was even allowed to ask the question as to the dangers of removing one’s reproductive organs and pumping themselves full of synthetic hormones and if these interventions might have some negative unintended impacts on ones mental health we could have an objective conversation about this. 

Too bad that is literally Nazi behavior and true progressives shut up and listen.

Source of this? Because I read the dude was shitting on Sorbo and Alex Jones at twitter, from a mainstream source.

[Boredfrom]

Here we go:

The account follows, reposts and replies to a host of conservative accounts, including Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky, former GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and far-right podcaster Nick Fuentes. Dorgan appears in multiple posts to approve of the efforts of Massie and Greene in pushing for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

However, in an X reply to conservative actor Kevin Sorbo, who made an anti-transgender remark about Democrat Representative Sarah McBride of Delaware, the Dorgano account replies, "keep bashing us. but do not wonder why we Go BERSERK."

In the same X thread, Alex Jones, who called McBride "creepy," Dorgan appears to reply, "stfu Alex dont be so butt hurtt over somebody different. then wonder why trans ppl go fkn BERSERK."

Eh, the dude literally had a SS style tattoo and seemed to be a Nick Fuentes fan. 

If I had to guess I'd say Narcissist who figured out the Trans Identity would make him immune from a lot of criticism that comes with being a narcissist.

But the sort of person who tries to annihilate their family, embraces a completely different identity which led to being estranged from their family, and proudly claims to have had their penis and scrotum inverted probably isn't going to have very stable politics.

[Boredfrom]

I heard the SS tattoo was photoshopped and I don’t see mainstream media mentioning in casual search. Being a Nick Fuentes fan is more telling.  

Both sides immediately go for misinformation overdrive.
