Missing a slam-dunk headline
  • Not exactly. My ADHD has only one good use... I am amazing at dealing with worst case scenarios and in fact thrive in them. I will always find a way to do something, survive and enjoy it. I had more fun in Japan when I was broke after I lost my scholarship than I was before I did. I rode a busted old bike with flat tires everywhere, I found ways to scrounge for food, I survived odd of a bag of flour and snuck my mom into my dorm. I have no interest in normal day to day easy life. Put me in the wilderness and make me kill my food.

  • You know the one
  • I think it might make some people too uncomfortable. Definitely a quirky show, almost as quirky as Lexx.

  • POV my caretaker
  • Somewhat. 20% of them are female. My friend also has a few female oranges. She definitely is the sweetest kitty friend I have ever met. Her purr is so loud and she purrs for a long time. I sing her name into songs and she comes to cuddle. For some reason it needs to be sung. She has a very interesting story that I may tell one day lol. And thanks, am starting to feel better 😊.

  • Serious question time. Does anyone else have the issue of realizing they haven't had any good experiences with anyone of any public service occupation?
  • Well, at least in the US it is hard to find a good doctor. I've had so many doctors, one had my gallbladder taken out unnecessarily and cancelled all my other check ups that were meant to find out what was actually going on with my gastrointestinal issues. All I needed for my gallbladder was a diet change which they never told me. It was I decently good shape when they removed it. That same doctor wouldn't refer me to a psychiatrist to diagnose ADHD due to the fact that I had anxiety and didn't want me on stimulants despite the fact that treating ADHD would likely eliminate the anxiety problem in the first place. I had new doctor who told me to treat my chronic spine pain and surrounding muscle, neck, shoulder, head, and eye pain with ibuprophen and a freaking chiropractor. No referrals to actual specialists... it's likely due to a bulged disk from a previous neck injury that yet again had been left untreated. So I deal with tingling and numbness every so often as well as POTS now. The doctor after that prescribed me a fatal dose of prevalite the pharmacist warned me about and I was like yeah, no way I'm taking anywhere near that much. I still ended up having to stop because hw never warned me about all the bruising it would cause. This same doctor also told me that nobody needs to eat anything but meat because that's where all the nutrients where when I told him I've developed a strong intolerance for any kind of carbs, even whole grains and beans, even most fruit, as they make me seriously ill and trigger my IBSD... Instead of helping me figure out a way to have a more varied diet than green vegetables and animal products (can't make good pizza with just that)... he just said stick to my diet. Yes, eating that way erased my inflammation and saved my guts but who is gonna live that way? So I'm back to slowly dying. Thanks doc. Oh, and he also told me that my tachycardia could be due to the covid vaccine even though I had the symptoms way before I ever got it... 🙃 I've given up. Even my cardiologist wasted my money. He saw that my resting heart rate often was around 120-140 and was planning all of these tests to find out why, gives me a monitor to stick on me which cannot get wet or be sweated on for 2 weeks so clearly I can't work out or do anything that'll make me sweaty or cause me to need a full on shower AND put me on propranolol which of course lowered my resting heart rate and left it at that. He then blamed anxiety. Well now I'm on 20mg of lexapro and happily can't feel a thing in terms of anxiety or depression which is great but my heart rate is still at suicide levels when I'm doing something as mundane as dry my hair or cook.

    I just wanted a doctor who would take the time to listen to everything my body is telling me, do more tha a few blood tests, keep working on it until we figure out what all of this is and get me a diagnosis for one or multiple issues (autoimmune?) I'm dealing with. I just want to be able to function again and not be homebound worried that if I lose my wfh job I won't be able to work.

    So it's great when someone finds a good doctor, I'm glad. But many people experience what I have and I'm so tired at this point, I try to just keep going until my body finally gives out... or I can become a cyborg. I'd sell my remaining working body parts to be a cyborg.

  • Rule
  • I actually find body hair attractive on my boyfriend and find him to look really weird without it. I also find shaved genitals to be weird looking but genitals are weird looking anyway. But I'm also not sexually attracted to bodies anyway so he's allowed to have his body however he wants it. But I do enjoy running my hands through his long head hair and curly chest hair. I don't see body hair as masculine or femminine but I also don't see anything specifically masculine or femminine. Makeup, pants, dance styles, singing styles, manorisms etc... The only thing I identify myself and others as is me and you.

  • POV my caretaker
  • I kiss and hug her all day and night. She is my body guard and always comes to me when I sing her name. It has to be sung for some reason...

  • Oh, that sounds amazing.

    Why do US teachers have to ask parents to bring basic school supplies?
  • In italy we bought everything outselves including books. Teachers never paid for anything.

  • Putin is urging women to have as many as 8 children after so many Russians died in his war with Ukraine
  • It's not a problem. When us women have the resources to be able to educate ourselves in the realities of the bull shit that's been peddled to us, we stop being brood mares.

  • South Korea has jailed a man for using AI to create sexual images of children in a first for country's courts
  • Pedo isn't a sexual preference anymore than cannibal a dietary one...

  • South Korea has jailed a man for using AI to create sexual images of children in a first for country's courts
  • Jfc what's with these pedo apologists. If someone were a cannibal, would it be totally fine to just give them human flesh removed from surgeries or dead people? Maybe let him pay people to eat them and drink their blood? AI images are trained on actual CP and CP anyway should not be normalized. If someone has ideation of violence then the last thing you do is feed those ideations. Would you think a suicidal person should watch simulated suicide? Why would watching simulated acts of depraved violence because you enjoy them somehow prevent you from committing that act yourself? If you enjoy something that much then you are thinking about doing it yourself.

  • Reddit is dead. Long live the Fediverse.
  • Tankies aren't communists anyway. They're Russian trolls, CCP shills. Those are fascist dystopias. Just mention Ukraine being invaded and they go ballistic.

  • Lol lemmy has a Tankie problem but they're being drowned out. They get mad because they can't just own the libs I guess!

  • What would you do if Capitalism didn't curb your potential and force you to sell most of your time?
  • I get three days off a week and just got off of a 3 week long vacation and I slept a bunch lol. Played videogames. If I could never work again I'd just relax and enjoy food and entertainment.

  • Liftoff. Lemmy app. Do you like the way it works now?
  • It's available now. I got them confused. I have boost not liftoff.

  • So far I replaced eternity with it. Eternity kept crashing and the swipe sensitivity was horrible. I'm liking liftoff. Crossing fingers.

  • Do you believe in God?
  • I believe in me. You are all being perceived by me. And anything I cannot perceive is not in the realm of existence.
