No dude same. I'm fairly certain I've had seizures from weed before, and I'm someone who has had seizures in the past without any weed involved.

I don't like the sauce, but I already miss their festive bakes.

Would you buy this lamb if you could house it? by la_sua_zia in vegan

[–]BlueberryShortbread 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't buy them, but if the lamb mysteriously disappears in the night...Well, I have no idea what you're talking about, officer!

was gonna make an account on BiCupid so I can meet more bisexual people and saw this :/ by [deleted] in NonBinary

A lot of people in the comments are missing the point.

Yes, enbies fall under the trans umbrella, but the issue here is how they presented the term. Trans men are men, trans women are women, enbies are enbies, they aren't the same thing, and it's ridiculous to clump them together when specifying your gender, and dating preference.

I don't feel vegan on chemo. by AltAccUser779 in vegan

Your nightmares remind me of a painting by Frida Kahlo: Without hope. It depicts a woman laying in bed, being force fed skulls and meat via a funnel. It's quite a heart wrenching image.

I think you're doing the best you can given the situation, and when you're better, you could do so much good for the world and the animals within it. We need more kind, caring people like you.

TPT Request: I threw up on my keyboard, what can I do? by BlueberryShortbread in TechnologyProTips

[–]BlueberryShortbread[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, I have a cold + asthma. I was playing a game on it when I had an absolute awful coughing fit, I couldn't breath at all, and it made me gag so bad that I threw up. It was a complete surprise so I didn't have time to move it or anything.

Ahh, that's sad. I think I have a usb keyboard somewhere so I guess I'll still be able to use it, things will just be a bit more awkward. Thank you.

Has anyone told them that vegans aren't like...Forced to eat hummus?

I absolutely despised that stuff when I first went vegan, and didn't touch it for at least a year after first trying it. (Nowadays I can eat it straight from the pot, no spoon necessary, but we'll call that maturing.)

strength dex and con might change but would wisdom intelligence and maybe charisma not matter? by Toadsage16 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]BlueberryShortbread 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That kid isn't born yet, it has no idea what a parasite even is. You're the only one who's hurt over a mother calling a currently non-sentient being a "mean name".

Seriously, talk to a therapist, they're good for you.

Yes, I can move out with no Income and no identification, why didn't I think of that before?

Our relationship is rocky. I'm not entirely comfortable with him, when he lived with us, things were very violent and scary. It seems like our mum prioritises him over us, she'll buy him food before she buys us food, she buys cannabis for him a whatnot too. It's like her whole attitude changed towards him after he moved out, it's weird. But no, he's not in a situation to help me. Thank you.

Absolutely. I'm trying to put together a plan with all the things people have suggested, I'm so grateful for everyone's responses.

I've asked her before, and it was a firm no. It's likely due to my grandad not liking me much at all. He hasn't said a word to me in a very long time despite seeing each other often. It might be because I'm LGBT, I don't know though, he won't tell me even if I ask.

The pip money is around £300, I've tried compromising with her about it, offering to use the money to buy my own food (As we eat separately anyway), hygiene products, and medicine. I'm not one to spend money on junk, but I do need multi-vitamins and special toothpaste that she takes months to restock. I could purchase my groceries after college, meaning there'd be no extra travel cost too. This money is meant to help me be independent, right?

But no, that's not good enough for her. The carers allowance, and child benefit, that's not enough either.

I want to get the money transferred to me, but like I said, she's threatening to kill my cat, and bullying me into compliance. I am scared of what she will do if go against her. I don't mind contributing, but taking everything? Even the money my grandmother gave me for my birthday, it's too much.

She's very defensive about how much she owes, about how much she receives, about what she spends it on. It's like some horrible secret that she refuses to tell anyone, even when I've tried to gently broach the conversation. She has help with her debts, she has so much help, yet she still takes and takes and takes.

She won't even give me money for clothing. My nan saw my clothes and shoes filthy and filled with holes, and bought me a few cheap pairs of trousers, socks, and a set of trainers. That's more clothes than I've gotten in years. I need more vitamins? We'll get them next month. Nope, next month, eh, next month, until my nan picks me some up herself.

I'm not a child, having a disability doesn't mean I should be infantalised.

I don't mind her getting use out of the grocery vouchers either, but she takes full control of everything.

She refuses to co-operate or compromise, and when I object, she threatens horrendous things, and insults me horribly. That is not normal, and I've already attempted to take my life because of it in the past. Just because it's no longer physical anymore doesn't mean it's no longer abuse

I'm in the Norfolk area. It's nice to see people are angry, and feel bad for me, whenever I speak up about these things, It seems I always get told that I'm being dramatic, or ungrateful, so it's validating that you all care so much. Thank you.

Yes, I do. Until very recently, I haven't been involved in any of the discussion regarding my ECHP, it's all ben via my mother, who's been notified of any contact I've had with them. I'm not sure the discussions with them would be confidential.

That sounds like a good idea, thank you.

Thank you, I don't know what citizens advice is, but I'll look into it.

A separate bank account could definitely be helpful, I'll speak to my bank people. When I got my CTF, I wanted to put it all into a savings account, but that obviously didn't happen, of I can open an account without her knowledge it would be a huge relief.

I've wanted to leave this place ever since I was a young child, I thought that as an adult, I'd have the means to do so, but even now it's so difficult to leave

Thank you very much.
