  • If you’re going to come at me with a link about Ukraine, please make sure it’s from a website that’s not run by this guy:

    Ben Aris: There’s a narrative in the mainstream media about, you know, “Stand with Ukraine and never report the negative stuff, only report the positive stuff.” But people I deal with, professional investors in particular, they’re interested in what’s actually going on because they’ve got money in the game in the form of investments and assets.

    I don’t think the negative stuff shouldn’t be reported but fuck him and his professional investor friends.

    BTW: Ben Aris has controlling interest in the company that owns the link you shared and got his start in journalism in Moscow.




  • You can make that much but in places they don’t. I worked as a radiology aide and an OR aide at a local hospital when I was in college, thought about pursuing nursing as both of my parents are nurses. Two years there and one year of pre nursing in college and I thought “why am I going into this career? I get treated like crap by those above me and the patients, I get no support from my supervisors, I come home every day tired and complaining about work, and the stuff I bitch about is stuff my dad says has been happening since the hospital opened in the 70s” I got a degree in history and now I work as a PM for a contracting company that specializes in historic preservation, making more than I ever would as a nurse and I go to work and go home everyday in a pretty good mood.

    If everyone working in the hospital wasn’t being treated like shit then I probably would be a nurse today but my time at the hospital was a huge eye opener.



  • The Devil Inside, I’m not a huge horror fan and possession/haunted house movies are my least favorite of the genre. I went because that’s what my date wanted to see. It was so boring I started to fall asleep and when it finally got a little more exciting, Spoilers it ended with a sudden car crash, cut to black, and then text popped up saying that if you want to know more, go to some bullshit website. What a waste of $40.
