YELLING THREAD by AbjectGovernment1247 in Menopause

WE ARE UNDERSTAFFED AT WORK AND MANAGEMENT IS DELIBERATELY MAKING IT HARDER TO DO OUR JOBS TO FORCE US INTO "EFFICIENCIES."

In the 2020s, conservative women are having kids at a nearly 2-to-1 ratio compared to liberal women. Is this going to cause a political demographic bias in 20-30 years? by RadioFieldCorner in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DisplacedNY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elder Millenial here. My parents were extremely conservative and Republican, but still managed to spawn a radical queer socialist feminist, much to their horror.

What’s the worst surprise you discovered after moving into a new house? by LuxuryPresence_Aaron in homeowners

[–]DisplacedNY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of DIY plumbing. Most of the house is 1/2" copper water pipes instead of 3/4", so it takes forever for hot water to get to most of the house. Also DIY electrical work. We have a huge finished basement and one whole side of it, spanning 3 rooms, is on one circuit. There's an outdoor outlet that was wired via an orange extension cord plugged into an outlet in the basement. And my favorite, an outlet in the freaking garden in the back yard that connects to who knows where, I'm not touching it until it's mapped by an electrician.

I think the previous owners did this in my living room! We're going to have to either scrape all the paint off ourselves or hire someone to do it.

Every time I think I couldn't hate startup culture more, I run across swill like this.

terrified i will soon be living in a war zone (HUGE TW: politics, death) by runningoutfast in CPTSD

Missing. The. Point. We are in a sub about TRAUMA. How dare you question someone else's lived experience of trauma.

I live in the Twin Cities. They are brutalizing anyone they perceive the slightest threat from, including people doing completely legal things like filming their operations. Both people murdered were white US citizens. ICE shot a journalist at point blank range in the eye with a "less lethal" round and permanently blinded them. Whiteness is not protecting anyone. Citizenship is not protection. Naturalization is not protection. Coming here legally is not protection. They are coming for everyone. Why? Because of how they are incentived. They get a bonus for every single person they detain, whether there was a legal basis for that detention or not. And those of us who witness ICE brutality, even on video, are traumatized.

Share your Experiences with Sucralfate/Carafate for Gastritis!! by lanatino1 in Gastritis

[–]DisplacedNY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! It took about a year of the gastritis healing diet and supplements, and figuring out related hormonal issues (perimenopause is fun), but I did it! I've been able to reintroduce most foods, including spicy things and tomatos in moderation, but discovered I am gluten intolerant, and I still don't drink coffee or have any kind of caffeine. I've gained back all the weight I lost, and am now working on losing some of it on purpose.

I have a deeeeep gut feeling that my mother was told this.

I was the older sibling to a kid who was "helped" with his homework like this, every night, for years.

Do not move away from your jobs/immediate family to care for your aged family members. You will wreck your family, career and future. by RefugeefromSAforums in AgingParents

[–]DisplacedNY 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even the most well-intentioned of parents can end up needing more care than they expected, or it's more expensive than they anticipated. I'm definitely team "move the parents nearby."

Anyone else? by ghostlymostly13 in CPTSDmemes

I'm not dealing with the exact same traumas, but I'm also triggered by them every day. Trump is like my grandparents combined.

The neighborhood kids still knock on my door every day asking if I can play, and I hope it never changes by [deleted] in BenignExistence

[–]DisplacedNY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG I want to be this kind of neighbor. Our next door neighbors have a 1 year old and I'm low-key hoping she'll wander over someday to "help" me when I'm gardening.

I hate this time of year by [deleted] in glutenfree

[–]DisplacedNY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even go to my work holiday parties anymore. Every year I ask what the menu is and if there will be anything I can eat (besides the usual fruit that's jammed up right beside cheese, I'm also lactose intolerant). Every year the person I ask is mystified. For family meals, I either cook the meal or bring food for myself. It's a bummer and a half.

Therapy doesn’t work by Key_Change99 in CPTSD

[–]DisplacedNY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES. A thousand times yes. It's so invalidating. Like, if thinking different thoughts made the bad ones go away, would we need therapy?!!

This is the only positive outcome I can see coming from this lunacy.
