Speaking of complaints we have about the fediverse…

You linked to a post on sh.itjust.works, but I’m on slrpnk.net, so if I want to interact with it, I have hoops to jump through first.

You say no one can see it, but the tree octopus would totally eat it

Blue crabs do turn red when cooked, but red crabs are always red.

Gotta say, the biggest reason I’m not on Pixedfed is because I was told that I could migrate my instagram content, but the two instances I signed up for had that option disabled. I can’t seem to find an instance that tells you upfront if it’s allowed or not, and I’ve already wasted enough time on it.

I just have trust problems whenever somebody says a medical condition is 100% one thing and nothing else could ever cause or cure it. I’ve had too many doctors tell me that my GI problems are just anxiety and couldn’t possibly be a real thing. I’ve had doctors tell me that my GI problems are actually an eating disorder and I need more antidepressants. I’ve had doctors tell me that I should be happy about my GI problems because a lot of people struggle with losing weight.

So yeah, diet is a tricky subject for me right now, because all I want to do is eat a normal meal, and the main response I’ve gotten has been “have you tried eating normal meals?”

It is currently unknown whether dietary weight loss interventions can induce regression of carotid atherosclerosis.

I just did a quick search, maybe you have a better source I can refer to?

Edit: Specifically for the 100% claim, not saying diet doesn’t help.

And heart disease is 100% preventable through diet that is cheaper than the SAD.

I need a source on congenital heart disease not existing.

They want us to be poor and sick so we’re easier to control.

Because “totally preventable” is financially unaffordable for most of us. My insurance won’t help pay for vaccines unless I get them done during a PCP appointment, but those are scheduled months in advance. I normally go to my local pharmacy and pay $20 for a flu shot, but covid vaccines are like $100-300 without insurance.

I’ve had gastro problems for a few years now, but because insurance and bureaucracy, I JUST got a scope done yesterday and they found a bunch of ulcers in my intestines that I’ve just been living with, untreated, because there’s no option to speed things up without money. It COULD have been caught years ago, but getting prompt medical care is too bougie for me.

What’s with the Hewlett Packard Enterprises badging at the top?

When has art ever been objective?

They grew up getting their heads shoved into toilets, and are now eager to shove somebody else’s head into the toilet. I’m in my mid-30s, and I absolutely remember the teachers turning a blind eye to a bunch of kids ganging up on me with sticks in middle school, only to get detention for hitting them back with the book of arthurian legends I was trying to read.

We basically got taught that bullying is a good thing the strong do to the weak, and it fucked up multiple generations.

I’d fess up about it. You were acting irrationally, and it’s going to be better to hear the confession from you, and not learning about this because somebody on IG reached out to him. Because it was a livestream, you can’t really hide it anyways, there’s receipts.

This is honestly the sort of stuff that therapy is really good for, but I know therapy can be inaccessible, so no hate if it’s not something you can do.

A’ight, girl to girl advice here. I think you’re so afraid that your partner is going to turn into a replica of your ex that you’re willing to nuke the relationship first.

What you’ve said in your post doesn’t really have much to do with your bf. Your ex would compare you to other girls, but has your current bf done that? Your dad would fight with you instead of talking, but does your bf do that?

I just feel like I give so much of myself and my happiness, even faking it all the time, to not feel it in return.

Stop faking it. Worst-case scenerio, people assume you’re acting a certain way to manipulate them, and that’s not really wrong. They can’t read minds, so they don’t know you’re hiding insecurity, they just know you’re hiding something.

You also can’t give out fake and expect genuine in return. I’d be willing to bet that some of the friction you’re feeling is from people trying to fake it back. If you want to trust a partner that trusts you, you can’t have fake getting in the way.

This is how you get republicans wanting to use RATM on the campaign trail

Be the change you want to see

Honestly, sometimes I wonder how much of neurotypicality is just a myth. I don’t know many neurotypical people, and the ones I do know don’t have their shit together any more than I do.
