I know this is no stupid questions, but that is absolutely a stupid question.

The interesting part and the reason I always remember the story is that when the doctors washed her guts, they found a dead tapeworm. The bleach killed it. And the hospital staff gave it back to her in a jar haha. What a souvenir.

Uhhhh, doesn’t the digestive system break down and slough off in tapeworm like pieces? I remember the BtB episode on those crazy Church of Bleach fuckers, and that was one of the symptoms the children had after their parents forced them to drink small amounts of bleach over a time. Here’s an ABC article that comments that they claim it kills parasites, so I’m not convinced it was an actual tapeworm…

Sure, though it isn’t super exciting. The assistant store manager, Lucio (fuck you Lucio, you fucking piece of shit) was an illegal immigrant who managed to fake his way through the verification steps, and INS showed up one day and vanned him while I was away going to college.

I wasn’t sad to see that fucker go, because he had a number of Mexican kids that he let do whatever they wanted, including Edgar who sexually harassed multiple girls out of the store and Lucio wouldn’t do shit because “why would I fire him when we’re already losing one employee”. Never mind that wed already lost 4 girls at that point and one of them was pregnant at the time. I’m honestly surprised he and I never came to blows because I didn’t hide that I fucking hate him.

My manager didn’t honor the employee discount after I was gone, either.

They never do. I had a manager try that shit on me when I was working food service, and I turned it around on him and made him get one of his toadies to clean it up after talking a bunch about “not being trained for biohazard cleanup” and “OSHA regs” which got him to back down, and I told all my coworkers the same so they’d tell him to fuck off too.

Still wish I could have been there when the feds showed up and escorted him out of the building.

Oh fuck yes. Only problem is remembering to add/update events. And with three adhd af people working off of a shared calendar… Well, I’m just surprised we don’t double book more often.

See, this is where shit like Amdroid comes in handy. Among the challenge (dismiss your alarm) options, they have NFC and QR/barcode as options. So you can force yourself to not be lazy by creating a tag, barcode or QR code that lives next to the thing you need to do by having to scan your verification to be able to shut your phone up.

I don’t really have much advice on making you accountable to yourself, but the little things like this help force you to adult and not fuck up as much. Only thing that worked for me was to give myself a ton of anxiety so that overcoming my laziness/forgetfulness to prevent me from feeling the crippling anxiety from not getting shit done. 2/10, don’t recommend.

If you’re on Android, I
Amdroid is great. Combination alarm clock/countdown timer, let’s you save many different countdowns/alarms with names and alerting styles.

I use it all the time to make sure I don’t forget shit. Washer and dryer each have a countdown for the length they run, along with dishwasher for the same reason.

I also use LifeUp to gamify my task list to help ensure I (generally) remember to do my daily/weekly tasks.

Timers fucking everywhere my dude. If it weren’t for timers (on my phone, my watch, work/personal computers, etc) I’d forget to do all kinds of shit.

Having gone through your journey about a year ago (complete with coming from Feit lights and plugs), I don’t think you’re going to find an integration that lets you control them (but if you do, please let me know!)

I use a lot of aquaria sensors (water/temp/presence), sengeled bulbs and outlets, and I think third reality is who makes my motion detectors. I’ve got my office, living room, kitchen/dining room and basement all hooked up with motion or presence activated lights, most of which have scenes that control what light is what color when. Definitely worth investing in equipment that hooks into HA natively, you can hack a lot of stuff together, but it’s so much nicer when things just work.

I ended up going with a zigbee coordinator from Tubes ZB, as it was one of the better recommended ones, but you can go with a cheaper option if it fits your use case. I needed a network coordinator since my HA is virtual and wanted flexibility in where my stuff lives.

I too have dreams of lots of pictures

2016 was my year, and that election pretty much slapped me in the face for doing so.

Until the fascist part stops being fascists, I feel morally obligated to vote for the same party for the continued benefit (and rights) of the LGBT+ members of my family.

Unfortunately she’s got insomnia right now, so it’s extra special.

Thank you for the well wishes! She’s about 3 weeks out and is not happy about being limited now that she’s hit that fun part where people hurt themselves lol.

the parent can always give the baby to the foster care system once it’s born, so their obligation would be limited to 9 months total.

That argument entirely overlooks the physical and mental changes that accompany pregnancy that persist well after the baby is delivered. Forcing the child bearing person to give up 9 months of their life for something they don’t want or won’t keep is awful alone, but the possible complications and life long issue that can come with it should make it unreasonable to force someone to go through that unwillingly.

As you surmises, this is about power and punishment, not rights. Rights are just a convenient smokescreen for the autocratic control of women.

I can guess how maddening that is for you. One of my partners is recovering from a bilateral reduction, and she was lucky enough to be allergic to the pain meds, so she had to deal with her whole body itching for a few days before she just stopped taking them.

Hope the itching stops, you may be able to take Benadryl or something for the itching to make it more tolerable.

How do those compare to fiberglass blankets? I do firecupping and appreciate having the protection of the blanket, but don’t want to worry about shards making my partners itchy. But I’ll deal with the itch if it means no fire worries…

I’ve got both a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket, and I’ve only ever needed the blanket so far. $26 for a 5’ square fiberglass blanket that did the trick immediately the first time it was needed.

If it’s a real extinguisher, can’t you just have it recharged and reuse it?

Yes, as stated below that includes property taxes and insurance, things that this person likely isn’t thinking about and isn’t figuring into their monthly payment. I hope I’m wrong, but I’ve watched friends crash and burn doing something similar.
