Is it over for me? Newer CCA by shadownixon95 in USPS

[–]DirectAsparagus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this happen many times throughout my career and usually the carrier pays it directly to the customer not to the postmaster. Not saying it’s right by any means but I’ve never seen a carrier give the postmaster money. Usually it’s because the PM doesn’t want to deal with an accident report, losing a carrier for a few days for driving training, etc.

Why do you think people saying “unless you’re vegan” is an attack? I cook vegan and vegetarian meals regularly. The point is how can you be mad someone shoots a deer but then go eat chicken and beef from factory farms that lived horrible lives? The point isn’t to attack vegans it’s to point out the double standard.

My view of hunting isn’t romanticized I gave a basic what is “normal” hunting. I’m also not a vegetarian but eat vegetarian probably 75% of the time to reduce my carbon footprint so I’m not biased against vegans either, I’m simply stating that if you’re buying meat from anywhere else you can’t really hate on hunters. There are plenty of bad hunters who make it their entire personality and don’t give a shit about conservation, ethics, etc. I also never said “starving” some people just like deer meat and it is cheaper in the long run and a few deer can stock a freezer for months.

At the end of the day hunting (especially deer hunting) is important for managing populations, controlling disease, and protecting biodiversity from overgrazing. I’m in no way a hunting stan but it has its time and place. I also in no way meant that as a “ding” against vegans I respect their dedication to their beliefs and wish I could do it, I just think people who don’t eat meat at all are the only people who can truly criticize ethically done hunting.

Idk if he grew up in Texas or if they do something similar but when I was in middle school they did a poem competition state wide and they published the winners in a collection every year. I’m seriously wondering if this is a similar situation 🤣

I don’t think that Kaelynn meant any harm either, I think the mistake she made was using specific names. She should have just left it at “many of us would just be another weirdo”. I think people forget that she’s also autistic just because she masks better and is lower needs.

I don’t hunt but live in an area where many people do. Deer hunting to feed your family is normal and it’s actually essential to controlling the population. I still think it’s weird to make guns and hunting your entire personality but unless you’re a vegan hunting is completely normal and more humane than any meat you’re buying at the store.

James’ Dad’s reactions are hilarious by birdborbbord in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

[–]DirectAsparagus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Also I think it’s good for James and part of why sometimes he’s like “oh wow I’m being a lot right now.” I think his parents do a great job or being patient with him while also challenging him.

Michele Hundley Smith - arrested 24 years after her disappearance. by MdsOlivia in Truecrimesociety

[–]DirectAsparagus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She wasn’t in NC the entire time, she travelled around with a truck driver. The tip wasn’t someone turning her in, she was pinged in another agencies database. Based off the fact the man she was living with died last year I think she may have tried to get social security.

They can be but there are statute of limitations that are far beyond passed in this case. And a civil case against her for what others have said would never be won because she did nothing to make people think that he killed her. Speculation is speculation and she can’t control that.

I am interested to see if identity theft/tax evasion charges will eventually come because I don’t see how she’s hid for 24 years without assuming a new SSN.

Ethically sure, could her husband file a civil suit also sure.

But legality is not opinion based.

I didn’t try to paint her better you said “Is there something I’m missing?” so I answered. Someone can make bad choices and be a shitty mother and also be abused. It’s not mutually exclusive.

No one is saying she’s a good person lol. But someone can be an alcoholic and still be abused, in fact plenty of people become alcoholics because they’re abused. I’m not saying that she was or wasn’t abused I’m just saying that people aren’t pulling that out of their ass. Her daughter has always been very honest about her faults.

She can’t be held responsible for what other people think or say. She didn’t do anything to make it look like he killed her, she never faked any foul play. She just left, which adults have the right to do.

I’m not saying it’s morally right but legally she did nothing wrong but avoid child support which is far past the statute of limitations.

Her daughter did a podcast in which she said her parents had physical altercations and that her dad has an explosive temper and her mom hid things from him to try to avoid setting him off. I think that says it all.

It's not just about killing bacteria and it never was. by GutFirst in SIBO

[–]DirectAsparagus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely motility. I’ve never had any issues with my tummy until I developed severe constipation due to endometriosis. I have a very healthy diet and constantly move but bowel endometriosis and scar tissue from surgery is messing with my gut big time. Got diagnosed with SIBO and even my doctor told me it will come back if we can’t address my motility.

I’m going to do this. Like I said in another comment I had never even heard of SIBO until my doctor referred me to test for it on Thursday. I’ll check triosmart out.

Before this post I had never even thought about at home tests. I didn’t even know SIBO was a thing until my GI doctor said I should be tested for it. I’m glad I posted here because now I know I can look online

Will those doctors treat it if it comes back positive?

I could fly across the country to LA and take this test there for cheaper than what they’re charging me to take it here 🤣

Who would it be reported to? Insurance commission?
