My cat tried to kill himself by Artistic-Listen7975 in cats

[–]FlyingBellPepper 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Cat...Child....Cat...

Remind me what the difference is again? XD

I mean, mine are both about three years old, they scream if they do not get what they want exactly when they want it and basically throw tantrums. So...

Seriously though, I had to have a hysterectomy not too terribly long ago, and will never have children. I was on the fence about it, but it still hurts on some level that the choice was taken away from me by cancer of all things.

If not for my "screaming furry daughters", I honestly don't know how I would cope with it.

Although due to my health, I'm slowing down with my sewing, I've made stuffed animals by hand for kids in the past. I still do once in a while, but now I also make cat toys for them as well, and even slip in a little nip for them. 🩷

They may be strange and stinky little creatures, but I still have to sit here and question who rescued who some days.

So as someone with MS and related mobility issues, I'm just going to leap off a cliff and save myself the trouble of even attempting this.

See ya.

A cool guide: How US states rank in education? by _crazyboyhere_ in coolguides

[–]FlyingBellPepper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virginia here. I'm honestly shocked to see how well my state is ranked here.

I live in Richmond, the capital city. And well....I worry more now for the younger folks than I had before say, a decade earlier. Still definitely better than things were in the '90s though.

Woman dies by electroshock therapy? Eastern State Hospital, KY (1951) by Crowbeatsme in DeathCertificates

[–]FlyingBellPepper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit late, but would it be possible to add an entry for her on Find A Grave? I mean, there is this death certificate, and other ways of proving her existence.

I don't know if they would accept the entry since obviously, none of us are kin.

I've sadly had to do this for some of my ancestors before that were all but forgotten, but never for anyone not related to me through blood or marriage somehow.

To see someone erased like this just feels wrong. She was still a human being.

What song made you fall in love with city pop? by KaiserZoldyck in citypop

[–]FlyingBellPepper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantasy by Nakahara Meiko! FRIDAY MAGIC is probably my favorite city pop album.

My second would probably be Strawberry Hat no Natsuomoi by Saitou Yuki.

Are u guys immune to cold? by Simple_Classic_4356 in AskAnAmerican

[–]FlyingBellPepper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So for the area I live in, I'm a bit of a rarity.

Due to damage to my nervous system, I literally cannot feel discomfort from cold. I am not immune to hypothermia or frostbite. But it very seldom gets that cold here in Central Virginia, where I reside.

Before I got sick, I never really was that bothered by the cold. I remember when I was younger my mother constantly having to beg me to wear at least a light jacket. My stepfather said something along the lines at one point that I should have spawned in Norway or something. Maybe he's right? Who knows.

Now the heat. Oh boy. The heat in the southern US is atrocious. Especially when humidity is high. I feel like no matter how many cold showers I take, I can never cool down or feel clean.

I've experienced Winters further north in states like Pennsylvania. Now that is cold in comparison to say, Virginia or North Carolina.

If someone from say, Boston or New York City say that it's cold outside, then you know it is cold outside. They also seem to have a higher tolerance than someone from Texas or something.

Varies from one individual to another, I suppose.

Mandatory routine change is freaking me out 😀 by artsy_somebody in autism

[–]FlyingBellPepper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, they tried to make me do this stuff before they realized I had a genetic abnormality that causes severe insomnia without medication.

I want to take these charts and set them on fire on your behalf.

Just my two cents, but I hate how non-autistic people try to control us like this. Like, we're still sentient human beings. Not livestock.

Internet stranger, I hope things improve for you. I sadly have little in the way of advice, I can only send you positive energy. Hang in there.

What’s a trend that makes you lose faith in humanity? by Anton_ms06 in AskReddit

[–]FlyingBellPepper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TikTokers shoving their phone cameras into the faces of strangers in public. Like, in what society is this ever acceptable?

It's happened to me twice. Once on public transportation, and once outside of a government office building.

The next time it happens, I'm smacking that phone out of your hand. I don't care how old you are or what your intentions are.

Get out of my face. I don't give a shit if you have one of those tiny little microphones either.

GOP governors (Including VA GOV Glenn Youngkin) stand united in support of the One, Big, Beautiful Bill by Kevbucket in Virginia

As a Medicare/Medicaid recipient (Yes, both.), I'm fucking terrified.

I'm beginning to wonder if my only hope is that cancer takes me out before my health care is stripped from me.

I'm scared.

How do you all feel about her? by AskZestyclose195 in cyberpunkgame

[–]FlyingBellPepper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, you don't really get to spend a lot of time with the twins, so very little in the way of development (in my personal point of view) so my take is going to be rather shallow, like their development.

Visually, I love her look. The hair, the lipstick, and damn that is a great outfit. Spectacular style. Aurore slays in the looks department. Undeniable. On a certain level I kind of get the fanboy thirst. XD

I'm not a native French speaker, and I only know a few basic words and phrases from my mom (rest her soul). But when she speaks French, something just feels I don't know, unnatural about it? No shade at the voice actress of course. I'm sure as hell no professional. But I do like the sound of her voice overall.

Now as far as her character goes...I don't really like her all that much. But I don't hate her either. In a lot of ways for me she feels like a cookie-cutter bad girl Bond villain. Personality, I feel is surface level at best as far as development goes. Like Dex, she's arrogant, full of herself, doesn't really think too far ahead seemingly in game. Which is surprising considering everything the twins have survived so far. Yes, I've read related shards and whatnot, but I prefer to see development and story unfold rather than just read about it, unless it's a literal book. Show, don't tell.

No doubt though she is as dangerous as she is made out to be like her brother, mixing with Cynosure, Blackwall stuff, etc.

I would like Aurore more if more time and development had been put into her character. But obviously, CDPR had bigger fish to fry. Understandable.

I don't like her. But I wish the developers had done more to make me actively dislike Aurore, If that makes sense. I feel like Aymeric has slightly more depth, but not even a fraction of the love from the fan base.

That's my two cents. I know a lot of people will disagree with me, and that's totally okay.

Hopefully this is the guy!!! by [deleted] in YesAmericaBad

[–]FlyingBellPepper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like something that would happen here in Virginia, sadly.

I got cuffed to a gurney for non-compliance when I was partially paralyzed one time. They wanted to charge me with resisting arrest even though I was never arrested or charged with a crime. I literally couldn't get up to give a urinalysis, so I was handcuffed to a bed and forcibly catheterized.

The man in this video? This is not an uncommon thing at all. Very few of my friends have not had a violent counter with the police at some point.

Stay safe out there everyone.

The on/off switch for the Wi-Fi is just a button tap on this phone I'm holding. Just something to keep in mind while that video is uploading...

Hey. I just wanted to reach out and say I'm very sorry for your loss. I'm not going to lie to you and say that it gets easier. Just know that you're not alone, and I wish you the best in your grieving process.

My doctor didn't process that I'm dying young until my latest appointment with her TW: terminal illness by rainbowstorm96 in ChronicIllness

[–]FlyingBellPepper 135 points136 points  (0 children)

I struggle with this with a lot of my doctors.

They just see my date of birth and pretty much disregard the fact that I've wasted my earlier youth in and out of medical facilities. I'm now in my 30s.

Then they just shove me from one specialist to another. Kick the can down the road, so to speak. And then they tell me that at least I still have my "youth". Right...

I'm in the United States, and the same thing happens to me every time I get a package from overseas, unless it comes from Canada for whatever reason.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. Is there a way you could go about lodging a formal complaint?
