I’ve spent a little over a year as a professional human guinea pig, earning $100k+/year through Phase I trials.

I’ve been poked, scanned, and quarantined for science.

Ask about the side effects, pay, or boredom!

Looking for remote friendly jobs, does anyone know any local employers currently hiring? P/T or F/T. Sound!

Anywhere sells this locally?

It’s new car time and going all in on electric but not a single one of the Derry dealerships have any sort of decent stock of EVs. Looking at some popular choices like the Skoda Enyaq or Hyundai Ioniq5 and haven’t seen one in Derry in weeks of looking. Nearest place with a decent stock is Dungannon.

Yes I know I can drive to Belfast or whatever to test drive but between work and wains it’s difficult enough, let me rant! Just found it curious

Creating this as an anonymous safe space to talk about what's been happening at work. Too much change has made it a shite place to work.

Has anyone else had issues with Boots reordering your prescription despite ticking and signing the reorder every time you collect?

In the past 5 months, I've been left without meds four times (for a few days at a time) because they have failed to reorder. Is this common? They're the only pharmacy with a supplier for my medication, so I've no option to change.

This is something that gets under my skin..

The high rate of suicides here has led to some people calling for higher railings along the Foyle bridge.

This annoys me for two reasons. One is that it assumes that people who are desperate enough to jump the bridge, wouldn’t have the brains to find another method. As if it was the more comfortable option anyway.

The second, is that it signals to everyone - local and visiting, that we as a population can’t be trusted to not spontaneously choose to end our own lives.

As much as every suicide is a tragedy, can people honestly say that if the rail was higher that people would still be with us?

It’s like responding to an obesity crisis by reinforcing the floorboards…

It’s patronising and it’s embarrassing. We all have to be viewed as irresponsible children because our mental health services are on the floor.

The better suggestion would be for everyone to check up on their families and neighbours regularly and campaign for better services.

Reminds me of seeing parents mollycoddling their ‘too old for that’ child in the park - treating their child as incapable and the child believing them in return.

We don’t need this crap.

Anyone able to look after a wee pug this weekend? Fri to sun

Planning to visit with my mom, we have fallen in love with Derry after watching Derry Girls.

Just want to ensure the environment will be welcoming, TIA.

As the title says, where did you use to rent a suit?

It's for a teen for a formal.

Is anyone worried about hantavirus becoming the next pandemic ? Does anyone else share this concern ?

I'm looking for a fish supper but I'm sick of my usual place, any recommendations?

Edit: went for collon hi bad idea wasn't the best at all definitely going for Donaghys next 🥲

I can’t tell anyone or ask for help. I know a lot of people in the city suffer from mh. How do I shake this. I can’t feel anything, happy, sad, angry or anything in-between and I won’t do anything to myself because I have my son to look after. Honestly, it feels like it would be easy to close my eyes and go to the “other room”. I feel like am walking around dead. How do I shake this without telling family/friends or services, they’ll think I’ve lost my mind. It kind of feels like I’ve lost my soul not my mind. It feels like there’s nothing to live for but I have to stay to make sure my son has something to live for. Please don’t say my son is something to live for because I’m tired I just need to shake this feeling as fast as possible honestly it’s been going on a while like functional freeze but the last few days it’s gotten far far worse :/
