  • All the alcoholism in both sides of my family, and I’m fretting about my liver, when I’m taking less than the recommended dose of a prescribed medication that could change my life if I could take more.

    And I’m on a COPD inhaler and I’ve never touched any death sticks at all.

    Life isn’t fair, I 100% feel you.

    I also literally felt you when they put me on amitriptyline and that gave me hbp and they kept trying to act like it wasn’t that big a deal- that with all my other health problems, my blood pressure would start getting off, and I’d have stress, yadda yadda.

    It really does feel physically horrible, especially the headaches and sleep issues.

    My biggest advice is to never be afraid about a second- or third or fourth opinion with your health, and be gentle but persistent with your goals.

    Its the art of pushing without breaking.

    Now, this is the experience for me and some unhealthy overachievers, so take the following with a grain of salt:

    A lot of times people with underlying health issues actually function their whole lives by pushing until they crash, but hide their crash, and just assume everyone else hides the meltdowns/16-hour sleeps/weekly puke sessions/etc too.

    If that happens to describe you, then you’re going to need to get comfortable with giving just 25% effort in a lot of things until you can safely figure out how to actually not hurt yourself.

    I’m serious.

    Step out of your skin, and treat yourself as you would your precious little sibling or something. Dote on yourself.

    Aaand I’ve typed too much. It gets my own stuff going. But good luck.



  • My dog responds to swear words by doing the kinds stuff you see emotional support dogs do in videos- press on your chest, give you kisses, nuzzle your face, etc.

    Except she’s small, blind, and a bit… intense, so she kinda launches into you if you’re sitting, with some intense affection.

    IDK why. I guess we don’t swear very often, ao when we do, its special, and we swear with enough gusto for her to think we’re very, very upset.

    Oh, I meant IRL.
    The worst was when I got treated like I was stupid for not just assuming that someone with atypical facial features had some kind of mental disability.
    I mean, it was apparent that they did once I began talking to them, but like Hell am I just going to assume that based on someone’s looks.

    I haven’t interacted with Christians around here.

    Or just… these but oreos.

    The trick for these cookies is sour cream, and the flavor for oreos comes from black cocoa.

    Your post is deliciously dangerous.

    And also detrimental to my search history because autocorrect decided to “help” when I was looking up black “cocoa” and I am decidedly nonsexual asexual.

    I just had to reset my phone. And now I remember ehy I had that feature turned off.

    Only if the raisins are treated with great care. Otherwise, they’re bitter, sour or tough as heck, and the cookie is better just as Oat.

    Oat Cookies are underrated, and you 100% know they’re home made.

    Add a touch of Cinnamon and you blow some people’s minds


  • Can we instead encourage people to post receipts with real game boxes and cartridges to enforce the idea that there are absolutely legitimate reasons to use emulators?

    Pokemon in particular is the most emulatable series out there, between romhacks, randomizers, and upscalers on the 3D games.

    There are definitely pirates, of course, but I feel like the public at large isn’t aware enough of the fact that emulation is often a good thing.
