I bought them recently and returned them after one night. The battery didn’t last even 2 hours and they kept disconnecting from my phone and turning off, but you can’t just turn them back on, you have to take them out of your ear and put them into the case to turn them back on. So many design flaws IMO.
For the last week, I’ve been the sickest I’ve ever been. Covid tests came back negative and as far as I know I haven’t had covid before, but I am miserable with all the symptoms you listed and I didn’t socializing at all.
I loved that she narrated the audio book, her accent is fantastic! I enjoyed her memoir. I don’t really remember how it ended, so maybe that part could have been tightened up. I mean, she is still so young, I wouldn’t expect her to have worked out a big overarching moral for her story yet. I hope she writes another as her career progresses.
This sounds like the schools don’t handle the payments for lunches. A third party does and as an electronic payment processor, they probably don’t provide a physical address where a check can be received.
Not sure if it’s really an accomplishment but I got out of a burnout that started in January. I’ve been in and out of burnout before but this time I set some personal boundaries and requested and received some accommodations from work. Now I feel better set up to maintain work-life balance.

Fair enough but if you have the means, NFCU has almost no cost. I get something small but like .4% interest on my checking account. Their credit card has no annual fee and I average $800 a year in cash back benefits from it. Other than buying paper checks, I’ve not paid them one penny for any services, a way better deal than I was getting at BofA.
I’m pretty adverse to fermented, pickled or spicy. Anything in the kimchi universe, big no thanks.
For me, it was What About Bob?
I think Minoxidil is the only thing proven to work. You can take it orally or apply it to the scalp via a serum or shampoo.
Because this is a forum where people share perspectives. If you don’t want to hear them then don’t read the comments.
I found this. Seems like idiosyncrasy applies to human behaviors while anomaly indicates an unexpected variance in a system.
That’s very noble of you, but in our capitalist systems, those who provide the most needed and valuable services are often paid the least. You may feel that telling someone to get better educated and moving somewhere cheaper will solve their problem, but then someone else will fill their past role. Our most expensive cities will always need janitors, line cooks, laborers, shelf stockers and many other roles that will never pay much. We can’t all be coders making 6 figures working remotely from bumbfuck nowhere. This doesn’t even take into account disabled people who can’t provide much or any value in the eyes of our system. You basically want to tell people to bootstrap, just in a gentler way.
No one makes that much money through work, it is through investments. Remove social security tax limits and beef up our nationalized retirement systems then tax investments to death. I don’t care if people are disincentivised from investing in businesses that don’t make any money. I know I’ll ruffle some feathers with this but I truly believe all space travel investments should be redirected to something that can make an immediate difference for those already on the planet, like healthcare or services for those effected by climate change.
My nail art is all gel. It doesn’t chip and does “dry” until I’m ready, which let’s you do really cool stuff like this 3D pizza nail I did.
I’m into nail art, Seinfeld and watching my cats destroy my house… and I usually enjoy them all at once.
Also grants wishes!
Awesome, thanks for sharing! I ordered my free replacement. Glad I got the 3 year warranty.
I had this same debate with myself earlier this year, after speaking with several therapists and a doctor that specializes in autism diagnoses, I decided the time and money to get diagnosed was not worth it.
For me, I considered how I was struggling and whether a therapist could help. I struggle with overstimulation, but a therapist can’t do much for that; I addressed it by getting noise cancelling headphones and wearing sunglasses inside. I struggle with burnout, but a therapist can’t do much for that; I had a frank discussion with my boss and we agreed to reduce my work hours and I started saying “no” to social events that would be too draining. I stim and hyperfocus but I don’t find those problematic. I’m extremely lucky that although I have poor social skills and no friends, I am not lonely and don’t feel like I need to make any adjustments to my personality to make friends, this might be one area where a therapist could help.
My point is that, autism is something where you can’t treat it overall, you can only treat the “symptoms”, so narrow down what is causing you stress and look for solutions. If an autism diagnosis requires meeting a threshold for 6 issues, but you only have 5, that doesn’t mean you can’t get help for those 5 things. A therapist may be able to help with that and if you want them to see you as autistic, just say you’re autistic. I doubt they’ll ask for any proof and if they push it just say you were a kid when you got diagnosed and you don’t have any paperwork. I’ll say that in my experience, the most important aspect of therapy is getting the right modality and this can be tough. It can be difficult to find providers that don’t just do CBT and sometimes they aren’t very good about discussing what you really need they’ll just do whatever they are trained to do. I found it really helpful to go to Psychology Today’s website and see all the different modalities that existed, then researching what each of them were and thinking about which may be best for me.
Try not to get hung up on the idea of getting that diagnosis. There’s a school of thought that diagnoses are a capitalist construct that aids a doctor in getting paid by giving them a billing code to submit to your insurance company.
