Thank you for pointing this out. I’ve been seeing shit posts from Russians and Chinese about how sloppy our military can look. No, they can march and they can dress up. And have you seen the Marines’ silent drill team? Talk about precision man.

The college degrees I earned in an attempt to get away from a soul sucking career: Nursing. First mistake was getting a fucking bachelors degree in nursing. That is not neccessary, because an associates degree would be sufficient. In fact, nursing needs to go back to more on the job training in an apprenticeship style program, hopefully run by a union rather than just the hospitals like in the old days. This requirement to have a bachelors degree in nursing that many jobs have is bullshit, and it’s just an excuse to get H1-B Filipina nurses (who work their asses off for less than US citizens) imported en masse. My next mistake was earning a degree in nursing informatics, which hasn’t done shit for me and now I find myself in a job I’m stuck in because I’ve been away from the bedside for so long. My third biggest mistake was earning a MBA in a further attempt to get the fuck away from nursing. Right now, MBA holders can’t get the jobs they would typically qualify for because the market is saturated. And maybe I could have done a dual MBA/MHA (master in health administration) degree in order to become one of the suits in a health system that makes the problems for nurses worse.
Now I don’t know what to do, and I want to die. I am seriously looking at switching over to become an electrician, specifically for low voltage. One of my previous jobs which was informatics related, I worked with those guys for a while. The worst thing they have to do is pull cable through tight spaces and up steep heights. Rest of the time they are using fine motor skills to connect smaller wires to the devices, and then programming them. I think I could hack it. The problem is, in the USA, things are getting politically and economically unstable, and a nursing license in another western country is more of a golden ticket out of this shithole of a country than any apprenticeship. If I had to flee at the drop of a hat, I would have to start an apprenticeship from the bottom again. At least nursing gives me a lifeline, even though the longer I remain a nurse, the more likely I am to want to kill myself. Even my therapist has noticed that, and has told me to leave.
I’m a simple person: Mustard, ketchup, and a decently made sausage. Maybe some onions.

0·6 months agoHaving lived in Colorado Springs, I beg to differ. Maybe a significant minority will defect but most military members have a lot of anger towards the world and want to kill anyone in their way.

0·6 months agoI will hurt every servicemember I spot if that’s the case. I used to live in Colorado Springs. If I were still there, then it’d be a turkey shoot, getting so many of those fuckers. They’re everywhere in the city. Now I have to travel to Monterey to get them. Or San Diego.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Should Lemmy consider potentially implementing a "Self-Harm and Suicide Concern" reporting feature similar to Reddit's?
1·7 months agoNever. Even any positive thing from Reddit should never be considered because its fucking Reddit!
I wouldn’t want to work in a prison as a nurse. Most nurses are psychopathic removed anyway, but prison nurses have the nazi dimension.
