really putting the “ooh” in “oo-mox”
i had a similar experience, and now i’m permanently disabled and require a mobility aid, and i’m not even 30 yet. the thing that saved me was getting a new PCP who actually believed me and got me in for testing— apparently my lumbar vertebrae look like a crushed pop can. so much of this could’ve been avoided if i had gotten treatment early. if you can, try and find a female doctor, one kind of younger, because in my experience, they’re the ones that will actually listen to you— especially if you’re a woman, or AFAB. if there’s a disability advocacy or support group in your area, or even online, hot them up. they’ll be able to let you know which doctors to avoid, at the very least. if you live in a rural or semi-rural area, you might even have to go into the bigger cities to find a decent one. most of all, you know your fucking body. you know your lived experience. don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking your pain isn’t real, or doesn’t matter. it’s scary and painful to try and find a decent medical provider, and it can feel like you’re stuck searching forever. but there is someone out there that’ll help you. please don’t give up looking.
i know a couple of people with health issues that make it so they can’t, so they use powder instead. Gold Bond or baby powder, usually. i think it also depends on how much you sweat.
because it’s easier to come after real people, since we don’t know all loopholes, can’t jerk them around indefinitely, have no individual power, can’t afford lawyers, and are all around an easier mark.
sometimes knocking yourself out when you have sleep issues/night terrors can just leave you trapped in the nightmare. 0/10 would not recommend. there’s also a non-soporific med for nightmares that can be prescribed, but its original purpose was a blood pressure med, so it can cause fainting and dizziness :/
cannot emphasize the importance of decent quality cleaning supplies enough. it’s a game changer.
mid price point rice cooker. not as much of a cool/fun answer as the rest, but it lets me meal prep for days. i don’t like cooking for just myself, but it’s so easy to use that it doesn’t feel like a waste. plus i always overcook my rice on the stove 😅
one of those lil lipstick-shaped pocket knives?
death penalty.
Behind the Bastards (weird/interesting historical shitheads; usually, they did one on Musk and the Submarine Guy)
The Dogg Zzone (if you read Cracked back in the day, two of the main writers, plus guests)
Stuff You Should Know (Stuff. You should know.)
The Dollop (More weird historical shitheads, and sometimes good stuff??)
My Brother, My Brother, and Me (because i’m a basic removed and love dick jokes)
Distractible (also because i’m a basic removed and love dick jokes)
because they’re supposed to make it up in tips. yeah, it’s the business’ fault, but if you’re going there and supporting the business through your purchases while knowing you’re supposed to tip, and then not tipping, you’re the asshole. don’t get me wrong, it’s unethical. but OP knows you’re supposed to tip and is trying to wrangle their way out of it. if you can’t afford to tip, just don’t go.
invisibility. i would just be invisible 20/7… only because it’d be rude to go up to a cashier or to the barber’s while invisible.
you absolutely are the asshole if you don’t tip. if you can’t afford to tip, then don’t eat out/just hit up fast food/go anywhere where people are paid a decent wage. most servers make under $5 an hour. if you’re not tipping, you’re directly exploiting them.
Munchlax, Drifblim, and Beedrill. and i, much like every disaffected child in the 2000’s, wanted Entei to be my dad.
as someone with IBS, cold/frozen liquids are the way to go… pun fully intended. it might be a bit difficult to keep things cool, but frozen sports drinks and the like are good for keeping you going. it’s really unhealthy, and i absolutely can’t recommend it, but it should work. you get a lot of your water intake from food, too, so if it’s not getting any of that, the water you ingest from liquids/frozen liquids is gonna get sucked up by your large intestine and, in theory, you’ll need the toilet less. good luck with, uh. your thing.
“nofapping Reddit” is the greatest way i’ve ever seen anyone describe the situation
you mean a subreddit made to bootlick a corporate entity is bootlicking a corporate entity? woah
i haven’t used Reddit since the big migration, and quit Xitter way before then. i still use YouTube a lot, but use NewPipe instead of any app or webpage. can’t stand Discord either way, but use it for a couple MMO guilds i’m in. it sucks that the shitposting scene on Masto isn’t as big as Xitter, or maybe i’m not looking in the right places. (i know jorts.horse has some good posts on their local, but i don’t wanna move from my instance.)
