Perfect example of typical hospital management these days. They don’t actually do the real work, sit around all day whilst bossing around the actual health care professionals. Don’t know the job so have no idea how to actually implement effective systems. Complete lack of empathy and compassion, all about money and “efficiency” without factoring in the human element. All whilst inexplicably being the ones in positions of power.

From my first watch, she has always gotten on my nerves. But upon rewatches, she has become unbearable. The way she talks is super annoying to me. She is verbose pretty much all the time and also whiny.

She is just in too many scenes, that have no purpose. Also causes too much trouble. They all keep letting her open doors and take calls which constantly causes issues. The constant stealing and greed also gets on my nerves.

The worst thing is that it’s all so repetitive. It’s the same thing every episode. I know she’s a fan favourite but I cannot fathom why. I can’t be the only one that thinks this.

I’ve noticed a lot over the years that many women who recognise how many of our behaviours are shaped by patriarchal standards, never seen to want to apply the same analysis to makeup. They always seem to be where they draw the line here. In my opinion it’s because it would be too personal and inconvenient to unpack their own behaviour and why they rely on makeup so much.

Even women that apparently hate choice feminism love to participate in it when it comes to critiquing makeup.

I think I audibly gasped when I saw this sub pop up on my home page. I never thought I’d see the day when a sub like this would be created. I’ve only ever found like a handful of people who shares my view of beauty culture and the makeup industry.

I wonder if anyone else’s OCD has them constantly scared as if something bad is going to happen. Most times for no reason at all. Much of my fear and anxiety manifests physically in my chest and abdomen.

I think that’s why one of my main themes surrounds fear of getting in trouble or doing something bad. But it’s just so hard to deal with all the time. Even when I should be relaxed, I’m constantly terrified of something but I don’t even typically know what.

Hello All!

I wanted to ask if anyone here is or has any insight on the trade mark attorney pathway. I have a law degree and a handful of years as an IP administrator and wondering if that puts me in a good position to apply for trainee trade mark attorney roles. I would consider the solicitor route but I am not keen on the SQE.

In the office I have a large curved monitor which is good and wondering if I should have the same for my wfh setup. I wanted to get everyone’s opinions and thoughts based on experience.

Also, any recommendations for affordable good quality monitors?

Just in case this reaches anyone new to fragrances or perfumery. SYNTHETIC DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN TOXIC!! WHETHER A FRAGRANCE IS NATURAL OR SYNTHETIC IS NOT WHAT DETERMINES ITS SAFETY!!

I know this topic has been addressed in this sub before. I just saw a few videos on Instagram with some influencers and accounts recommending their preferred non-toxic and safe home fragrances. Now I can’t speak for candles as I mostly work with diffusers and room sprays. However it’s really starting to annoy me.

One influencer said that synthetic materials are what made products “unsafe” and “toxic”. Another one said they use essential oils to fragrance their home and they are good because they are natural (as if essential oils are not often more allergenic than “synthetic” fragrance). It’s so apparent that they do not really know anything about fragrance and perfumery but it’s just part of this larger trend of people saying natural = good, synthetic = bad. And half the time, they are wrong about what if natural and what isn’t.

I want to try some fragrance ingredient suppliers for formulating home fragrances. Because of the amount of product needed to make them, I am looking for more affordable aroma chemicals and essential oils than I would buy for perfume. I wonder if anyone has tried mystic moments in the UK before. They seem to be quite cheap. I feel that some of their essential oils are labelled incorrectly as their CAS numbers are not right. But I wonder whether the aroma chemicals are any better.

I hate this trend of parents/parents to be planning, recording and posting gender reveal parties where one of the parents has a negative reaction to the reveal. I think the idea of gender disappointment is silly and should be unpacked in therapy, not normalised. This goes for both fathers AND mothers with these reactions. Worse, some of them even have their existing children there to watch their awful reactions. Then they get defensive when criticised as if THEY didn’t film and post that!

Recently found out about this sub and so happy it exists and sending love to all of you!

I am bi and have accepted that a long time ago. I would really love people’s insight about how the deal with their clash in faith and sexuality. I feel like a fake or an imposter due to the two identities. In my heart I feel that differences in sexuality are natural, normal and should be celebrated & welcomed!

I find it almost impossible to reconcile both identities and I am trying to understand how to move forward. As we all know, sexuality isn’t a choice. But worship and practice of a faith are arguably so. Does it follow that I have to stop being part of my faith?

I accidentally lightly scraped an unattended parked car. I stopped, but I had nothing to write with, so I went home to get a pen and paper so I could leave my details. When I came back a short time later, the car had already gone.

I'm worried this could look like I drove off, even though I intended to return. The other car also had some existing damage, and I'm concerned it might be assumed I caused all of it.

What should I do now? If I can't identify the owner, should I report the incident to the police? Do I need to notify my insurer? Has anyone dealt with something similar?

Also, if I genuinely intended to leave my details but the car had gone by the time I got back, could this still lead to a criminal record or arrest?

Would anyone be interested in an anti posting children online subreddit? Focused on highlighting and discussing the unethical practice of parents publicly posting their children’s identities, health info, personal moments and lives in general with online strangers. I can’t seem to find any.

The sub would be looking at the issue as a whole rather than on individual families. Although case studies and examples would be discussed. I’m surprised there isn’t already a large sub for this.

I recently started a role in the legal sector after having only a handful of years of experience in the field. The workplace and team seem nice but the pay is only marginally higher than my previous role. It is still really low. I thought I would be able to handle that for a few more years but this salary will not be sustainable for long as personal circumstances have changed.

Would leaving during probation, or shortly after passing probation, be seen as a red flag by employers in the legal sector or more generally?

I am also not sure whether to avoid applying for vacancies with my current employer while I am still in this role, or whether that is somewhat normal.

I think I may be finally ready to seriously consider becoming estranged from my parent, which means being estranged from my whole family including extended. As I am from an African country, there is a massive emphasis on family and community. Therefore, it would be very hard to go NC with parent without doing so for siblings and extended family.

I have very seriously entertained the idea for years but thought deep down I would never go through with it. I used to daydream about it as escapism but it’s now starting to look like an option for me. How has anyone from the same background navigated this?

I don’t want any insensitive answers about just doing it and not caring. It will be the hardest thing I would ever have to do in my life if I go for it. And there’s no middle ground with this parent. I have tried for a long time and I feel I am coming to the end of my rope.

I started seeing someone after years of no physical interactions and recently kissed them. I peel my lips and skin around mouth a lot due to anxiety and it leads to cracked, bleeding and sore lips. A few days after I freaked out and started wondering whether you could get HIV from kissing with blood or cuts on lips. One of my OCD themes centre around a fear of getting HIV.

How do you guys deal with having physical relationships when you have contamination OCD? I’m already planning on getting a blood test to check after the relevant period has passed.

Sorry if this is a silly post.

I chew the skin on around and inside my mouth and lips a lot causing bleeding and small patches of pink raw skin. If I made out with someone who also had cuts in their mouth and blood, is it possible to get HIV this way? There may have been bleeding when it occurred. Assuming that person was HIV positive, do I need to get PEP or do something here?

I know you cannot get it from kissing but why about kissing with bleeding lips and mouth.

Very niche and I’m not sure of anyone else has experienced this. I have had medication prescribed by my physicians to help with panic attacks or heightened anxiety/OCD. Things like benzodiazepines and sedatives.

They can be helpful but a few times, I have found that when I have taken these, I get certain obsessions randomly enter my mind. As in certain random “what if” situations. The issue here is, when I’m on these sedatives, my mind is much less able to tell what is realistic from what is fantastical.

So I could get a random intrusive thought telling me I have done a particular thing and I get severely anxious and spiral about said thing. For example, intrusive thought “what if you messaged something inappropriate to someone”. When the effects of the mediation wear off, it’s either I realise how ridiculous the obsession was or my nervous system actually starts to believe it and treat it as a threat.
