    Sure, that's literally their job. And they usually interact with the patient once during their stay. I'm talking the hands on caregivers on the floor who interact with their patients every shift.

    So nurses started it? Thanks-a-fuckin-lot, nurses! Leaving off the 's has created one of the most annoying phrases ever to pass the lips of humans.

    They probably picked it up from the patients years ago and it stuck because it is oddly less offensive than being wrong.

    Oh no, there's one group of people who started this shit, and many, MANY, MANY other bastardizations of this once-proud language, and it's NOT nurses.

    EDIT:
    I remember this one time about 10+ years ago, I had to go by my ex-wife's workplace (a strip club) for some reason, and when I refused to pay the door fee to get in because I was there to see her, she got called to the front, where she introduced me as her baby daddy.
    It REALLY pissed me off. At least I tell people that she's my ex-wife.

    Shane Smith bit off way more than he could chew. They expanded well past their concepts ability to sustain a steady flow of quality content. Dudes drinking cum shots, tranny meth dealer carnival queens, they just couldnt handle the big time.

    Few things make me immediately think less of a person than hearing them say the phrase "my baby daddy." @dixiebandit69 I know you know the EXACT demographic I'm talking about who is guilty for 90% of this. Call them your child's father. Your ex-husband. Your former partner. Whatever. Stop it with this ghetto shit. It's not "the way we talk." It's fucking stupid is what it is, and demeaning, and ignorant.

    Interesting. I heard a bunch of online crap about how it was some sort of illegal smuggling ring and the dude was some competing cartel enforcer sending a message, so would be back in Mexico, never to be seen again.

    It almost seemed plausible.

    I didn't think he was cartel or anything, but I did think he'd just run across the border and disappear.

    Guys I don't think the "solution to guns is guns" thing is working.

    If you're referring to today's tragedy in Allen, TX... the Allen Premium Outlets is owned by a company named Simon Property Group, which has designated all of it's properties as gun free zones. The law abiding shoppers didn't have weapons to fight back, so one could equally argue that whole "Gun Free Zone" thing isn't working either.

    There was an armed cop at the mall who responded immediately, and it still left enough time for the shooter to hit more than a dozen people, killing 8 of them.

    The cop was only there because he was responding to another call, it was a very lucky fluke.

    Point is that even when we get the lucky fluke and "win," we still lose. We simply cannot outduel shooters immediately, everywhere, all at once. Any solution that does not prevent the first shot from being fired in the first place is doomed to be an inadequate solution.

    Then what is the solution? Tell the law abiding that we can't have guns? We saw today that doesn't work. These mass shootings are a very modern problem and they continue to happen at a more and more frequent pace despite much tighter restrictions on gun ownership. Perhaps we should be looking at what has changed in the past 20-30 years that have caused this escalation.

    We absolutely should be, but then perhaps we’d have to admit what a diseased, rotten apple this country and society has become. Rotten to the core.

    Easier to blame the inanimate object though, so we’ll keep doing that.
