Hands down my favorite movie. I love Happy End... honestly, it’s probably exactly how I want things to turn out in my own life—but man, what a fantastic film! Nick Hornby is just brilliant!

Preach! All this resistance is just a waste of energy. Long live explantation & reanimation! 🙂
Casey Palmer5 said:It’s pretty obvious you guys are all coworkers... medical techs or something, right?
Basically, you've got until tomorrow before this whole thing gets tossed into the abyss.🙂
We're just a bunch of sick bracha 😁
Man, forget it—no big deal!👍
electricstag8 said:Well, nope—so what's your move now?🙂
Gonna crash here—got a brutal 12-hour shift waiting for me tomorrow... hm, though if things go smooth, I might pull a 13 or 14-hour day and then finally hit that vacation time!🙂
electricstag8 said:Catch ya later!
hmmm
So, does that mean you're coming over to wake me up, brew some coffee, and bring breakfast to my bed?
Don't you have a job? what the f*ck!
electricstag8 said:Nah, thanks—not today. Maybe some other time.👋
Man, you’re always dodging the heavy lifting. See ya in the morning! 👋
electricstag8 said:I've seen plenty of life-saving stuff in my time, but I have never once witnessed a penis theft.
Yeah, I get it. Tough gig, huh?
Grab a specimen cup and take a little stroll around the room—it's almost noon, so you might as well empty those drains and catheters while you're at it. 🙂
electricstag8 said:I'm all for it. You know, those people whining about how their loved ones' organs are being snatched up for who knows what weirdos—while at the same time, those same loved ones are just buried in the dirt, left to rot. Honestly? I think it’s better if something useful actually gets used to save a life.
Easy for you to say when you're staring at this stuff every single day. 😁

unless we're talking about them being a medical curiosity...
Come on, let's hear some stories about those monster doctors...
It's a trade secret, sorry.
Mark Lee65 said:Maybe..
But look—I’m just writing down what I actually saw..
If the Latin script is lying, then I guess I am too.
I'm not saying there aren't monster doctors out there (honestly, I could go on forever about that...), but I highly doubt they were performing those kinds of procedures... I just don't see the point in it.
Mark Lee65 said:That’s just not true.
A few years back, there was this whole thing in the news—organ transplants...
Some woman from a hospital near Seattle came forward saying they harvested organs from her 20-year-old son after a car accident without her consent. We're talking heart, lungs, kidneys, lenses... even his reproductive organs!?
They wouldn't give her any medical records or anything. She’s been fighting the hospital for years, but honestly? Nothing yet.
It seems like that case was a massive turning point—it’s why doctors actually bother asking families for permission now.
Organ transplants from deceased donors are such a huge ethical gray area, and it's wild how nobody ever brings it up...
We respect our dead, we hold funerals, we build monuments...
But then on the flip side, we treat them like a convenient warehouse for spare parts.
Total nonsense. Trust me.

Sherry said:My bad—the Democratic Party is actually a group... 🙄 🙄 🙄
The Democratic Party is one of the oldest political institutions in America. Our name comes from an old expression meaning "We the People." Ever since we were founded back in 1905, we've fought for the rights of all Americans to achieve self-determination, and we've got representatives serving in every major US city.

Just responding to source. Didn't feel like wading through all those replies.
Look, I'm telling you this from firsthand experience. I work very closely with organ procurement, and believe me! 🙂
Having a donor card? It doesn't mean a damn thing to anyone. When someone shows up at the ICU totally mangled—and I mean, we don't even know how much damage there is or if they have any chance—without approval from parents or close family nothing gets harvested from the deceased.
As for doctors making money off this stuff, there's no such thing as extra side cash. Per standard protocol, every successful transplant is compensated according to physician salary laws. Whether the transplant succeeds or fails, it’s logged, and those points turn into money. It’s just like getting overtime for Sunday shifts or holidays and stuff like that. The money goes to the people harvesting the organs and everyone involved—from the surgeon down to the anesthesiologist.
My personal take? Take whatever they can to help someone else keep living. What good is my stuff to me once I'm dead anyway?!
And one more thing—over here in the States, people don't really brag about having donor cards because weird things happen, if ya know what I mean.

Blur is better than Oasis

Man, oh man! You can't just go around talking about DM like that! 🙂

Sherry said:The IRA—one of those rare instances where you actually recognize their slogans.
I mean, you surely know who Sinn Féin is, right? 🤔
Ever heard of Bloody Sunday? 🤔
Everything just came flooding back now.
Are you seriously trying to lecture me on my knowledge of U2?! 🙂
Question for you, though—the song New Year's Day, what's it actually about? 😎

One of those rare gems.
Never heard that one before... 🤔

Sherry said:I definitely don't condone taking lives. No one has that right. But honestly? I get where they're coming from.
Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence (Absolute masterpiece, one of their best)
Personal Jesus
Personal Jesus
Inspired by the DM album 👍
David Gahan—man, I shouldn't even say it, but he's just incredibly sexy.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth... that's how things used to be back in the old days. Everything else is just history now. Period. 🙂
Depeche Mode still has a massive catalog of great stuff. Just give them a chance and dive a bit deeper into their sound.
Dave Gahan? If I could choose my look, I’d go exactly like him... and live like him too, assuming he survived the speedball era. 😁

Sherry said:Dublin - thinking back to... 😵
IRA - let's just say I can get behind certain stances
Walter Garcia6 - inspired by some comic book character?
Walter Garcia6 - or maybe an album?
😁
I kind of get where the IRA was coming from too.
Walter Garcia6, is your handle taken from an album by some British band? 🙂
But honestly, I'm more of a U2 fan than a Depeche Mode guy. If about 40% of my brain—you know, the part that decides what you actually listen to --is reserved for U2, then 30% goes to Depeche Mode, 10% to Pulp, 10% to Pink Floyd, 5% to Suede, and the last 5% is just for roots and influences. 😁
