The lesser of two evils argument is something I don't buy into either. I have a choice, so I choose not to vote when I'm not happy with any of the candidates.

At least vote 3rd party or against the establishment then. Let your vote show your displeasure with the current state of affairs. You might one of hundreds of thousands of votes, and it can seem like it doesn't matter, but remember that the 2000 and 2016 presidential elections were won by just a few thousand votes in key states

I'm a hardcore socialist, no American candidate will adequately represent my views. As far as I can tell, there will never be one in my lifetime, but I will support the least capitalist, least oligarchical candidate I can. If nothing else, my vote will show that a voter is dissatisfied with our insane libertarian economic, civic, and environmental policies

This whole thing started two years ago, he hadn't been feeling well and nobody could figure out why. Turns out he had a blood infection of some sort and it permanently damaged his kidneys (he's been on dialysis ever since) and he needed immediate open heart surgery. He was under for something like sixteen hours and they had to reconstruct a large portion of his heart. His doctor even told him he shouldn't have survived it (which gave him some pretty bad PTSD, turns out if you have anxiety after an operation like that guess what, you're admitted to the hospital every time because your chest hurts) but he did.

In the meantime my mom had a second bout of breast cancer last year and has heart failure and I don't think she's going to be OK living on her own if something were to happen.

I'm having an idea that I think is a bad one, but I'm not sure. When my fiance left, it was so sudden and we didn't even talk about what was happening for 5 minutes. No joke, the music I was listening in my headphones (yes I took them out) before she gave my ring back and subsequently left had only gone forward by one song

I want to kind of confront her, get a chance to get some closure over this thing. I feel I deserve that much, at least

I feel like it's a bad idea because I don't want us to get back together and this might be a result of our actually sitting and talking, but I need to get some of this poo poo out of my head. It's keeping me up at night

You are right: it probably is a bad idea. Closure will occur, but it may take time. Certainly no conversation stemming from a confrontation will provide you with the answers you need. You might be able to have a productive, mutual conversation in a neutral location, but probably not when feelings are raw.

Ok, it's good to know that my gut feeling about being a loving idiot is 100% accurate

I have strong opinions and like to argue, but I rarely get genuinely angry about anything. I'm a very easy going person in real life, despite what my posts might suggest. When I think about how cruel our break up was, I get this deep resentment that I don't know how to deal with because I don't normally get angry. Or even hold on to anger for more than a few hours. I was hoping that telling her how I felt would make the anger stop, but I'm clearly grasping at straws here

My friends are telling me that I need to talk to her about this, but I'm going to maintain radio silence for the time being. Maybe give it a couple months before I try to find out what the gently caress actually happened. Find some other way to get this festering mass of emotions out of my head

99% certain that I was there, along with the totally-coincidentally only minorities in the corresponding class groups, to show variations of "diversity" to clinical site and post-graduation employer department heads. But it went well anyway, and we got to ask and answer questions. I was sat front and center, right between the program director and campus president, and they asked me to give input a lot during the two hours.

I learned that a nursing program lives and dies by two things: its NCLEX first-time-pass rates, and the rate of employment during the first six months after graduation. I guess our program hosts these dinners/luncheons in order to give perspectives on those figures to hospitals or other potential employers in order to fight for clinical rotation availability (schools have to compete to convince hospitals to let us shadow as students) and to pump those post-grad numbers up. The hospital representatives were all from hospitals that traditionally don't hire as many of our graduate students compared to others, so it was basically a professional hobnob/advertisement. Ew.

Here's my drama today. Dr started me on some physio and muscle relaxants for my back a couple weeks back. Seem to be helping. I can even sleep now, more or less. Day or two after I started on the muscle relaxants, I noticed a rash start on my lower right back (basically right kidney area). Didn't think much of it as it wasn't terribly itchy, but rashes are unusual for me in general. Thought it was maybe a side effect of the medication or something so I didn't really think about it.

After a week it persisted, decided to make an appt to get it checked out as it changed color a bit, but did seem to get a bit smaller. Appt was this morning.

Show it to the doctor (early 30s dude, super nice cool guy), he kind of smiles at me and says
:science: Hey, you have chicken pox as a kid?
:) Think so. Pretty sure.
:science: Congrats. You have shingles!
:( Really? Are you sure it's not just a rash or side effect. It's not really even that itchy or bothers me much.
:science: Haha, yeah, I'm pretty sure. Consider yourself lucky. Bad news is that we need to catch it within about 3-4 days to do much about it, too late for anything now really. Good news is it hasn't bothered you much and it looks like it's going away. At 2 weeks it's pretty much run its course and will probably be mostly gone next week. Stay away from kids, but don't worry too much about it.
:( Thanks.
