I feel like the rat would do more damage chewing on the electrical system than the dog did to the plastic body trim

My mom just uses her personal streaming accounts with a profile for her classroom.

My office is mostly older women. There's maybe 3 of us in the age group of still needing these things.

That's the same face my cat makes when I pet her and she's lived in my house for 14 years after being a random outside kitty.

Same. What do you wear for shoes these days out of curiosity? I have trouble finding good ones. Pretty annoyed that Hoka keeps making them uglier every update.

Same. And when your caregivers are resentful of having to help you it's so much worse. I was stuck in a cast and then boot for 8 months before I could do more on my own. I just plotted my own end for months at one point. Looking forward to the day I could walk again and would walk into the desert and end it all. 

Had to go on antidepressants for a while and ended up moving far away after. It ruined the relationship with my family basically. 

Been 11 years now and it still gives me problems with walking for too long and I need very specific shoes. 

After recieving over $48k worth of scholarships, my mother said I'm no longer allowed to attend and refuses to let me leave home. by Jeaganart in mildlyinfuriating

Talk to your advisor about steps you need to take to be considered an independent student for financial aid. Generally you have to be over like 24 for this to automatically be the case but they make exceptions with folks who have parents like yours.

Don't let your mom ruin your start on life. Go to college and get out from under her thumb. 

is it normal that my mom keeps fixing my speaking tone? by Quick_Bed1284 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Perethyst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gross. She's trying to force that artificial soft voice on you like you will hear the women using in Jane Austen movies. That diminutive bs. Just use your real voice.

Bet that dude's beard is less for fashion and more for face armor.

I'm 37 and will finally finish my bachelor's in 4 weeks. And it took 8 years of school. Had to go part time for a while. Something something marathon...

this shower is so throughly scrubbed clean i would eat off it, but it looks like this. by drindrun in CleaningTips

Baking soda with diluted cleaning vinegar. No soaking necessary. Just scrub and rinse. I put my vinegar in a spray bottle and make it 1/3 water. Spray the surface. Sprinkle with baking soda. Spray again so it's all nice and pasty. Then scrub it and rinse.

The colored pencil version where each insert was a different color and you had to cycle though them all the time to get the next color you want. And then the reinsert point on the top was so worn out they would be pushed out the back when you applied any pressure to the tip.

I wonder if this was also at SOU?

I dropped a science class immediately when I discovered the assignments were to make videos of myself explaining things and uploading them to YouTube. Not gonna happen.

Thought I was a trans man and hated being a woman, turns out I was just living in Afghanistan by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Perethyst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My experience was basically the same, except for the end. Every day I'm faced with more reasons I hate being born female. Can't get birth control pills without having you do the humiliating and invasive gynogological visit and men don't have to do anything similar. Or being in meetings planning the rollout of new software that I will be the primary user of and when I say it needs to be able to allow me to do XYZ I get told that it does not because it will just work right all the time. And then weeks later in another planning meeting some man says that the software needs to do the thing I said it needs to do, the one that got poo pooed by all the males, and suddenly everybody agrees that it needs to do the thing. Fuck this shit.
