For some reason Lady and the Tramp reminded my mother of The King and I. So I had to watch both in the same week for the first time, and it was a very weird experience lol
Edit: I just looked them up and they were made four years apart! I assumed the Disney movie was made in the 80s because I saw it in the 90s lol
I haven’t worked in retail for over a decade, but that was the biggest fight I kept having with district managers/corporate. They kept telling me to hire more associates for one shift a week, when I already had keyholders and associates who were begging for more hours.
Shit, sometimes I “called out sick” just to give them more hours without letting anyone else know ahead of time. That lack of financial security is not good for morale or productivity, and I hate that the bosses refuse to acknowledge that
Uhhh… that thing where people glue little strands of hair to their forehead in an arc
Do you mean styling baby hairs?
I make significantly less at 100% rating than I would if I had been able to stay in my career since I was medically separated or if I was able to do the same thing as a civilian (easily over 6 figures). It’s still much more than poverty level, but the $46k I’ll get this year just can not compete with what I could have had.
I know that much of the value in my benefits is free medical though, and that adds up fast when you suddenly have pronounced weakness in half your body and doctors can’t figure out why
When I was going through evaluation to start hormonal transition my primary care doc’s nurse asked me to explain what non-binary is, and when I figured it out. I explained the things I told the doctor who evaluated me, thinking that if it was good enough for her, it should be good enough for this nurse.
My nurse told me I just hate the patriarchy and that’s why I hate myself. Lol
My cats are fed in separate rooms for the same reason. I put a little collar activated flap on one door so the picky one could eat without my youngin sniping her food. He’s still trying to figure out how to get in that room, I’m a little surprised he hasn’t tried to brute force it yet lol
I never understood why anyone local drove through it. Tourists I can understand, but it’s a drive it once and “holy cow that was a bad idea” experience
Oh, yeah. I didn’t mean to imply that getting a job with a disability is easy or that employers actually follow laws. I was more trying to point out that a personality disorder is a disability, because most people won’t see it that way

My therapist told me that a diagnosis of a mental health disorder means you have a disability*. So if they choose not to hire you because of your ASPD diagnosis, in the US at least, that’s discrimination against a protected class. I have AvPD, and that was a concern for me too
*(although many disorders don’t always earn the label “disability” when a person is seeking benefits)
I’m 5’3 (160cm) and feel like I am invisible to trucks when I’m in a parking lot. It also feels like they’ve doubled their height (or more) over the last ten-15 years
High pH is basic btw. I’m assuming you meant low pH with the reference to soda
My acid reflux has nothing to do with acidic or basic foods, and everything to do with the ratio of fat I’ve eaten or how many alcoholic drinks I’ve had in an evening. Beer is about a hundred times less acidic than soda (for reference) and soda doesn’t set my reflux off
My point is that human bodies are weird and we react in weird ways to food. That’s why we have to trial foods
I like to wear them in places with fluorescent lighting, but some people really get uncomfortable with that. Sometimes I imagine they must be feeling the same thing I feel when I need to make eye contact during a long conversation
🎵I like my coffee black, just like my metal🎵
They’re not extremely similar to MSI, but you might like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (the band)
There’s an instance called literature.cafe that has a lot of writing related communities. I see writing prompts somewhat often while browsing all. It’s not the largest of instances, but it might be a good place to start
Voyager doesn’t have the ability to do this in the app, you will have to use a browser
