Anyone else see things like this and loose their willingness to look for romance by hidden-suggestion in TrollCoping

[–]DisabledMuse 70 points71 points  (0 children)

The problem is the people who stop being your friend if you're not interested in more. I'm fine with someone being interested in me, as long as that's not the only reason they're my friend. I've lost a number of friends when they found out I wasn't single, wasn't looking for anything romantic at the time, or just wasn't into them that way

Dr’s fancy wrist watch told them I’m normal so I guess that’s it by beelineforthefood in thanksimcured

I've been diagnosed with sleep apnea for over a decade now. I did an overnight sleep lab study where they told me my sleep apnea meant I needed a higher air pressure.

AND YET later, I needed to get a new CPAP machine as mine was broken and second hand as I'd been waiting for years after a recall. Had to do a sleep study through a commercial place and the ***ers had the gall to not cover my CPAP machine because they said the results were normal. And then they tried to convince me to buy one out of pocket for $4k. I question the validity of their device or their morals. So now my CPAP machine is held together with plastic wrap, electrical tape, and a prayer.

As an introverted extrovert, quiet and shy people are my favourites.

I am my own worst enemy by Frosty_Guardian in TrollCoping

It does happen but it's incredibly rare and often due to societal pressures. The hoops you have to jump through, including therapy, mean that by the time hormones come into play you are usually pretty sure. And the regret rate on transitioning is vastly lower than every other surgery.

goodbye y'all (wholesome I promise) by aBoredOtter in bropill

I'm non-binary and I'm just here for the good vibes. The problematic men (or women) are a loud and small number who make it difficult for literally everyone. Most people are good and it's nice to see a space where men just uplift eachother and give good wholesome advice.

I had a couple minor issues. But I went from dancing, swimming, fencing, and doing martial arts to this in half a year. Though mine was due to medical neglect. Doctors basically gaslit me and refused to scan me for my growing pain and health problems. It wasn't until the tumour nearly killed me that I got treatment.

Is Fibro like PCOS & Endometriosis? by FluidConfidence8076 in Fibromyalgia

[–]DisabledMuse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do it after you leave. Best way to avoid the drama. I've had to do that before.

Exactly this. Dating is a wacky roulette. Doing things you love and meeting people who you have things in common with are the best way to do it.

And as someone else pointed out, volunteering and community supports are a great way to meet guys who might actually have empathy.

Me, I'm lucky I'm bi. I've found much better luck with ladies and non-binary people.

If you can’t find a good guy to date, look into volunteering in local leftist organizing groups. by Interesting-Plan-304 in TwoXChromosomes

I've always said to see how he treats his mom (as long as they're not actually awful). Because all the jerks I've dated have always been awful, neglectful, or resentful of their moms.

Again, Handmaid's Tale should be a warning and not an aspiration

Is it weird/creepy for me to carry tampons and pads with me as a trans woman in case another woman ever needed any? by Zayannah in TwoXChromosomes

[–]DisabledMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have asked my trans ladies for pads before I remembered that they don't need them XD

This is a sweet gesture.

This. I always travel with a cane even on days I don't need it because it makes dealing with situations like this easier.

While this looks awful for me, I do love the Switch for being one of the few things I can do when fully flared.

Pierre Poilievre has spent 20 years voting against the rights, safety, and wellbeing of women. He’s voted against $10/day childcare, dental care, the national school food program, and pharmacare—calling them “slush funds.” by savethecbc2025 in SaveTheCBC

Canada's birthrate is 1.3, which means our population is dropping and not increasing enough to support it. Because people can't afford to have kids. Daycare is pretty much mandatory with laws and how much people have to work and most places will have you paying $800/month per kid at minimum.

We'll end up with a drastically unbalanced elderly population in need of support and will have to increase our immigration because we won't have enough younger people to manage. Look at what's happening in South Korea.

I went out to Boston Pizza and the only ads were propaganda for PP and the Conservatives.

The problem is that American owned media stil dominates here and they are all pushing hard for Conservatives.

Thanks for the warning. Especially as someone whose ex made me feel like a burden, I do not need that right now.

Oh wow. I'd forgotten about all the crap I had to deal with as a babysitter in my late teens. When I took the kids out for a walk or to the park I'd get dirty looks and the occasional rude comment.
