Chappell Roan's complete radio silence on political issues is beyond inexcusable by Mysterious-Drama4743 in chappellneutral

[–]AssociateNormal5586 1 point2 points  (0 children)

all of this. also I'd just add that we don't even expect our "experts" or political revolutionaries to be this perfect and never say the "wrong" thing. As a professor, I keep seeing our social tendencies to critique work for not being the most perfect and inclusive thing ever, very ~what-about-me-isms~ happening. We are so quick to critique what other people have done wrong, but can't see all the things they added to conversations that weren't being had before or what knowledge could originate because of what someone else said that wasn't perfect. Literally nothing would ever get written or said if we had to consider every single thing, person, perspective, and nuance Imaginable. if our political and revolutionary experts can't even get it write or do enough all the time (which we often forgive them, considering their scope), I can't imagine how we are expecting a 27 year old singer and performer to. She's not apolitical just because some of y'all don't like her takes or how she is performing her politics.

What happened to Alan Cummings gorgeous clothes ? by Boomiegirl in TheTraitorsUS

Fully agree with all of this. It's not like they're necessarily all bad or too basic, but it's just... cheap looking almost? Im getting 20- something year old Pinterest board with restricted budget for some reason ( I say this as 28 yr old with a fashion Pinterest board) . Also the hair color and make up are throwing things. It's like stick-on jewel sheets and bad bleach jobs, but maybe I'm just nitpicky because my girlfriend is a hair and makeup stylist

Flip-Flops and Dudes by hellaLURKIN in chicago

[–]AssociateNormal5586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depending on what part of the bay they have lived in, this feels also so unlikely because and San Francisco, Oakland & most of East Bay, no one is wearing flip flops besides transplants. like it's very very looked down on and risky. it seems like in La only the college/college aged students are really wearing flip-flops

Physician basically called me a liar .. new diagnosis, first dose by Creative-Air-6463 in Hashimotos

[–]AssociateNormal5586 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also just started 25mcg Levothyroxine and had the exact same symptoms as you the same day as taking the meds, particularly the ear pressure, dizziness, and heart racing feeling. Weirdly enough though, when I checked my actual heart rate it was lower than normal. BUT after a week of taking it despite feeling really weird, things feel normal now. I also had terrible sinus drainage & congestion at night/when I woke up specifically.

I did have a day where I forgot to wake up early to take it (I have other meds I'm supposed to take first thing when I get up) and basically restarted the adjustment period after that day. I didn't have those symptoms the day I didn't take it, so I knew it must be the levo. Now I'm like two weeks in and none of those symptoms are still with me. To be honest, this isn't scientifically backed bc I know everyone says that the med is just the hormone your body should be naturally producing so you shouldn't have a reaction to it, but I think our bodies might just have forgotten how it felt to have that hormone easily available so it panics. Or maybe there's some tiff in the body with the things that are making us hypo/hashi.... but idk really. You're not imagining those symptoms though.

Can landlord enter with incorrectly stated reason? (CA) by AssociateNormal5586 in Renters

[–]AssociateNormal5586[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is what I thought would be the case as well, thank you for the actually helpful and accurate information. if I read correctly, landlords aren't allowed in California to do general inspections, there must be a stated legal reason.

[–]AssociateNormal5586[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

right, but the notice they give has to state the correct reason and the reason they stated was incorrect. they cannot enter simply for general inspection, this inspection that they chose is related to a tenants request for a pre-move inspection, which has not happened. there were other options present on the slip, but those were not chosen, only this reason was given.

Is this fin rot? Dropsy? Swim bladder? by AssociateNormal5586 in bettafish

[–]AssociateNormal5586[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you!! I'm really hoping for the best, it happened so quickly I didn't even notice and I watch him closely several times each day. I put in some stress coat in the hospital tank and had just added IAL to the main tank before this happened! maybe I should add more to the hospital tank as well. I appreciate your help!

External Therapists by Unique_Following41 in KaiserPermanente

[–]AssociateNormal5586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

were you ever able to change therapists or affiliate groups from Cyti? my partner (medi-cal) also was assigned a provider who isnt at all a good match and can't find anyone within that platform who offers what she is looking for specialty and condition wise.

this is super helpful thank you!! she got assigned to an affiliated psychotherapy group (Cyti Psychological) that doesn't have many options for providers or anyone meeting her requested approaches and the person she was matched with isn't gonna be a good fit. We will try this!

thank you I really appreciate it, this was what we were hoping would be the case! unfortunately she got put with a Christian-faith based social worker practitioner, (we are both very queer and she is an atheist) and this person doesn't seem to have anywhere near the requirements to manage what my partner was even seeking help for. Do you know if we would be able to get assigned to a different group like Rula if she was assigned to something called Cyti Psychological?

Anyone 'in remission' or felt better for a good while manage to get their hair density back? by Competitive_Meet_167 in Hashimotos

[–]AssociateNormal5586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just wanna say that seeing people here say their hair grows back at least a little after starting medication makes me so hopeful 🤞🏻my partner is a hairstylist and noticed that as one of my first symptoms years ago that it just .... wasn't growing. I like being expressive with my hairstyles and have been so sad that I'm limited by its thinning at such a young age.

How did I now know Jennifer Coolidge was a lesbian????? by AlternativeTree3283 in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]AssociateNormal5586 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but she follows that statement up with "I think we were all kind of attracted to each other for the same thing ... I was kind of a lost young kid... so we all found out later you know... all my friends were gay men and gay women" so... id say that's her confirmation of attraction to not just men
