The worst pizza topping is definitely
CastlevaniaNut18 replied to Remarkableriots's topic in The Shower
Pepperoni is my go to. I prefer it with some mushrooms, bell peppers and onions, but I'll eat it without the veggies. I dislike pineapple and olives on pizza. Love pineapple, just not on pizza. I wish I liked olives, but I can't. -
I Defy You to Name a more Deliciously Refreshing Fruit
CastlevaniaNut18 replied to skillzdadirecta's topic in The Shower
That's never done a thing for me and I love pineapple. Pineapple is definitely one of my favorites, but my problem is when I eat too much of it, it makes my mouth raw. Like nearly blisters it. So I can't eat it all the time. When I do, I just have to have a few pieces. -
Do you get dessert when eating out at a dine-in restaurant?
CastlevaniaNut18 replied to Bacon's topic in The Shower
Almost never. I’m usually pretty full from the main meal. Once in a blue moon, a dessert will really appeal to me and I’ll save some room for it. But it’s really rare. -
The Official Thread of Systemic Racism

I mean, I figured there was probably more to it, but still. Nothing about that situation justifies armed conflict. Fucking hell. -

The Official Thread of Systemic Racism
CastlevaniaNut18 replied to SuperSpreader's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
I prefer not to name half the people I work with as bigots. They’ll keep their jobs, at least initially, and my work life will be even more hell. My job is hard enough as it is without half my team against me. I think the appropriate first step is to let management know there’s a problem and it’s widespread. That way, some action can be taken so everyone knows the behavior isn’t appropriate. If it continues, then I can start naming names. But no need to make it harder right off the bat. -
The Official Thread of Systemic Racism

There's been a lot of racial tension at work lately. We've had two major incidents between coworkers in the last couple weeks. First, two travel nurses got put on administrative leave for allegedly making racially insensitive comments. It sounds like the worst of what was alleged wasn't true, so they were allowed to come back. I wasn't there that night, so I don't know what was really said. But both denied using the slurs they were accused of. This past weekend, there was a blow up where a nurse informed a patient's daughter(black) visiting hours were over and she'd have to leave. Daughter refused, started calling the nurse a racist, and recording. Security was called to escort her out and six Barney Fifes showed up, which was way overkill and both charge nurses were appalled and apologetic by that overshow of force. The daughter started screaming, claiming we were putting her life in danger, blah blah. While six guys was way overkill, I mean what I said about them being Barney Fifes. A couple of our officers and wannabe tough dudes, but the rest are pretty dopey. They carry no weapons, not even a taser. The daughter was most definitely in no physical danger. She claimed she had 27 minutes of video and she's going to the local news station to expose how racist the hospital is. While that was most certainly overblown and ridiculous(I'd dealt with this daughter when I'd admitted the patient a few nights before and she was definitely a piece of work), what happened after, wasn't great. The primary nurse involved was recounting a story about her daughter as a child saying the n-word and she used the actual word. In front of a black nurse. The black nurse proceeded to respond to a fucking group text from our boss from a week or so ago asking for help one night to inform a bunch of random coworkers that this nurse was racist, said that word, and she refused to work with racism and it was illegal. I was literally sitting at home at midnight, playing TLOU, when I get this text from a number I don't know. I don't know how dumb you have to be to respond to a prior group text with this allegation, but this girl is pretty fuckin' dumb. So now, we've got one nurse going to HR filing complaints of racism and we have another nurse going to HR to file a complaint of defamation of character. So, yeah, a lot of tension. But there's been a long time culture of insensitivity at my job for a while. I work with some really great nurses, but being fucking Arkansas, a lot of them have bigoted views. I've constantly heard racially insensitive statements, anti-Muslim rants, jokes and rude comments about LGBT people, etc. I think it's just finally coming to a head. Our manager is in a relationship with a woman, and when she came to our hospital, some people were making derogatory comments about her personal life, calling her a "lezzy come lately" because she was married to a man and had kids from that marriage. I've wrestled with saying something for a long time and after these recent incidents, I finally stepped up and expressed concerns, giving examples of the kind of behavior I'm talking about. Stuff like "I identify as a cat today, bring me a litterbox for my preferred bathroom." I hope something will be done. I know these peoples' minds aren't going to change after decades of holding shitty views and I didn't name names because I don't want to fuck with peoples' livelihoods, but maybe they need to keep their shitty views to themselves at work. -

I had to google the term "African American Ingenuity." I'd never heard of it. Probably because people just say the non-PC term. -
Nintendo Way late to the party but Golf Story is a blast
CastlevaniaNut18 replied to EternallDarkness's topic in The Spawn Point
It's cute, but I didn't stick with it. Maybe when I'm back in a golf mood, I'll continue. -
