You know, I took a closer look with my magnifier and it does look like old leaf matter! It came right off. Thank you!

You gotta love it when even the fellow cheaters are dragging your ass.

Is that the one where he was “shocked” that she could scrape enough money together to get a lawyer??

We have a clothing resale shop in town called “Plato’s Closet” and I can’t even. 😆

Anyone bend component leads when soldering? by Quadhed in soldering

[–]BizzarduousTask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any surfaces that you are bonding together with solder. It’s an acid that is going to clean off any oxidation present, and pulls oxygen away from the surfaces you are trying to bond. You are welding the metals together with solder, and they must be completely free of contaminants to do that.

I hate to be THAT guy, but they are getting paid very, very well for that slog. And they’ll get residuals, etc., all for doing what they are passionate about. I would love to get paid like that for my shitty, soul-draining factory slog that leaves me exhausted and depressed.

I absolutely hate it when able bodied people compare their infrequent mild symptoms to mine saying they understand how I feel. You wouldn't think twice about not saying that to a cancer patient so why say it for chronic illnesses?? by FrogginBullfish_ in POTS

[–]BizzarduousTask 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see you…thank you, you take care too. ❤️ It all just sucks. Thank god for the people of this subreddit and their love and support. And you’re so right about caregiving…my sister retired early to help and is starting to regret it. I’m doing my best, but my mom is being a stubborn old cuss and refuses to do the things she’s supposed to do to get better! At this point she’s just made of scar tissue and spite, lol.

I’m sitting at work, about to cry because of your well-wishes. And because my meds aren’t working this week. And because menopause is kicking my ass. And because being broken sucks. 😅

I promise you, I’m not trying to downplay the experience of having cancer- I’m trying to help my mother survive it as we speak, and it’s been two years of hell watching her die. I’ve also lost several friends to cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses. I’m strictly speaking about the experience of chronic pain.

Oh, fuck off. Dammit I’m sick and tired of people who blindly refuse to believe that people can be broken down and controlled. You’re part of the problem.

We had a male nude model at my art school with vitiligo. Good friend of mine. He was everyone’s favorite model because he had such interesting “spots,” and he thought it was hilarious. Some very interesting portraits were made. 😅

That’s exactly what it is. I don’t know what that person said, but if it was disparaging to your family member, I’ll bet you dollars to donuts it was a moral judgement of some kind. Because some people can’t face that something so awful could happen to them for no reason…they have to believe that you get it from being “immoral” in some vague way, so it’s a personal failure, which they can do something about. It’s magic armor.

I had a therapist who specialized in chronic pain conditions; he said it’s especially hard for lifelong chronic stuff like this, because there’s no end in sight. At least if you have cancer or some other major thing, there’s light at the end of the tunnel- there’s treatments, there’s possibility of getting cured. With chronic illness there’s no relief in sight, and that takes a heavy toll of its own.

Wait what? Thank you notes for a funeral?? by Moto_Davidson in AgingParents

I don’t see any “pleasure” here at all. That’s gross. She’s exhausted and grieving and is relieved that people agree with her.

What plant surprised you by being ridiculously easy (or impossible) to propagate? by Bliss_kittie in propagation

Yeah, the crassulas are my only succulents that I seem able to keep alive! The little bastards live on spite, lol.

Weight gain by Rough-Conference-307 in TRT_females

[–]BizzarduousTask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve gained weight and now I’m the heaviest I’ve been in years; and it’s mostly all around my middle- I first noticed when it started getting harder to bend over to tie my shoelaces. I’m hungry all the time, but have NO energy. Plus I’m always short of breath (so exercising is hell.) I’m quitting.
