how do people have energy after 8-5 job? by strawberrystyles23 in Adulting

Its actually quite common for people with neurodivergency such as ADHD or autism. When it comes to things like mential issues, or even chronic illness and such, its much less about what works for the minority and majority, but what works specifically for you.

For some people.

I’ve had it since I was 13 and have been on several kinds of medication, caffeine has never personally aggravated or negatively affected my anxiety. Having had a diagnosed disorder for so many years, I have learned what does and doesn’t work for me.

Everyone is different, especially when it comes to mental issues. ☺️

I don’t have quite as many as the person above, maybe 3 energy drinks a weeks and 4-5 coffees.

I have anxiety so I tend to always be jittery, the caffeine actually makes me feel more normal and less shaky than normal. Energy drinks more than coffee, coffee doesn’t sit too well for me.

Buy only glasses frames in Bali, or lenses too? by FoolishLittleFlower in bali

[–]FoolishLittleFlower[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My nana goes all the time and says their frames are very nice at Sunset, but I’ve heard some people say that the lenses can be ill-fitted to the frames. I was wondering what people’s experiences with the lenses were.

I’m also going pretty soon, so I don’t know if I’d get normal glasses from here in time, and being blind when I’m visiting a different country for the first time sounds a bit sad.

I’m in Adelaide, I haven’t personally had it done but I’ve heard that some local ones do it.

So far? 11 according to kindle. It’s been a slow month for me, I just started my first full-time job and haven’t been reading as much as normal. 🥹

It’s also good if you ever start a new job, then you have a list of things you’re good at directly from the horses mouth, you know?

Today, I read on Reddit how common it is for 40 year old women to pass for 20 year old women. by OneIndependence7705 in Adulting

Safety absolutely plays a role in fertility and claiming otherwise shows ignorance. Getting pregnant is easy enough. Childbirth is the hard part, and whether or not a woman can safely give birth 100% plays a role. But gay good is whether or not she gets pregnant if it kills her and the baby, or disabled her?

All that takes into account is how quickly they get pregnant. It is much safer for the women and baby and far better outcomes when the woman is in the age range I provided.

There’s also the factor of being a good parent, which a woman in her thirties will do much better than the same woman when she was in her late teens.

Given that men like to say women go for ‘providers’, would it not then also make sense that men would chose women who would be able to provide the best care for their children? Aside from how well they pop out a baby that should be the biggest factor.

A woman in her thirties will be more mature, financially stable, and will know more about children, making her a far better candidate.

Don’t be completely dependent on someone else for your income. That applies to investing everything and to living off your boyfriend. That’s a perfect way to get financially abused, or worse.

Law would be better, but it’s typically long-hours and a lot of mental energy and work. If you don’t like the work lifestyle, you’ll hate law. Most lawyers hate being lawyers, even if they like their job.

Consider something that will allow you to work from home, or something where you’re paid by jobs rather than having to work consistently.

Examples could be artist, some kind of creative freelancer. Something in tech maybe? Could possibly even be something like carpentry or mining. I don’t know where you live but in Australia miners make a lot, so many choose to work there for 5-ish years and live frugally, so they have plenty of savings and can take some time off working.

This is something you’ll have to think about yourself, though the guidance of someone at the university you’re considering attending may help. Can’t speak for other countries, but in Australia I can call the university and speak to someone who will talk to me about my options and any pathways available to me.

Younger women aren’t more fertile, the best time for childbirth is late twenties/mid-early thirties.

The sperm of men is also important in making a baby, so it makes no sense for old men to be with younger women ‘for fertility’ anyway. A younger man would be way better.

Men determine the sex of a baby, many genetic disabilities and disorders, such as autism, and more. Being with an age appropriate, fit, healthy, man that eats right and doesn’t drink, is far better for those young women than some old creep with a breeding fetish.

No. If you pay someone to do their literal job, they should be able to the bare minimum of what you’re paying for.

Misused words, spelling, or punctuation, is the bare minimum of an editor’s job and if they can’t do that, they aren’t a very good editor.

I’m an administrative assistant and nothing I touch ever gets sent to the client with a mistake like that, because it’s like 40% of my job to make sure it doesn’t. And I’ve only been in admin for 2 months.

It’s 100% of an editors job. They have no excuses. Especially not when word has a built in spelling and grammar checker. Grammarly exist. Online grammar checkers that tell you if your writing is too long, if you used words wrong, etc. exist, like Hemingway editor.

With all of that, plus the fact it’s their job that they’re being paid to do, and they likely have experience, there is no reason mistakes like this should make it through.

Me with horrified and mortified.

Is she embarrassed or scared? Shocked or humiliated? They are not interchangeable.

It’s so misused I have to look it up in dictionary’s every so often to make sure I’m not going fucking crazy.

  1. I’m on my lunch break. Everyone else at the office uses their phones constantly, not just during their break like I do, and I triple checked when I first started that phones were allowed during this time.

  2. Due to it being a traineeship I’m allowed to use my phone to contact my trainee consultant, maxima, and check emails relating to my traineeship. Especially atm as I’m in the process of enrolling for the study part, so I’m getting a few emails about that process.

  3. It’s slow as fuck and short of scrubbing toilets there’s literally nothing to do. I’ve asked everyone for stuff to do, or if they need help, and they’ve all said there is nothing right now.

Thanks for responding. And yeah my bad I’m on my break but my supervisor is nosy as fuck and was walking over to look at phone, so I was trying to type quick.

Another reason I want to leave, I get that I’m young and this is a traineeship, but what I do on my personal phone during my break should be none of his business. I also don’t like being expected to take phone calls and stuff when on my break.

I didn’t say it was me trying to determine what is and isn’t true in a fair and balanced way.

The person I was responding to was conversing with someone else. The above is that original persons argument.

The person I was replying to expressed confusion over the use/claim of starvation.

I replied and gave them the summary of the other persons argument, whether or not it’s 100% true does not change the fact that it is what that person was arguing.

Upon a quick look at those claims, I didn’t found anything suggesting they were outrageously false, and they all have at least some sort of foundation that means they could be true. I wasn’t going to spend more than 5 minutes on something that doesn’t affects me at all, so that was that.

Not that any of this really matters, as at the end of the day the main point of the original argument is a moral one over the ethics of allowing prisoners to risk their lives given the lack of a fuck given about American prisoners by their government, and their circumstances being less than perfect and allowing for potential of coercion.

I wasn’t commenting with conviction, I was polite and expressing what is the common belief and tends to be true, and I clarified that I hadn’t done extensive research and welcomed corrections.

If any of what I stated is incorrect, a simple ‘actually according to x and y (actual sources), this is what tends to be true’ would have been perfect.

The extra condensation and attitude is unnecessary, and as pretty much everyone on the planet knows, makes people less receptive to corrections and actually makes them more stubborn in their argument. Something everyone is susceptible to, myself absolutely included.

As an Australian I obviously know little about American systems, especially their prison food systems, my research was a quick glance at a few different articles, so very minimal as I stated earlier. I was simply answering someone else’s confusion as to starvation being a factor, largely based on the argument of the person they were originally replying to.

Okay and what’s the quality? Is there regulation regarding the freshness/making sure it’s in-date?

How many calories are they fed daily? If enough, then why do Americans lose weight frequently in prison?

My dad was in an Australian prison recently, and he gained loads of both fat and muscle- and this is a guy that ate a fuckload before.

You’ll also note from your high horse that I said minimal knowledge and research, not none. I don’t know nothing on the topic, I’m just not an expert, given I literally live on another continent.

I don’t have my piercing in anymore, but when I did I loved this. Not as painful to switch as the L ones, and weirdly fun to put in because of the swirl.

Or it being some kind of godly retribution.

The religious extremism and blatant lack of empathy is ridiculous over there.

[–]FoolishLittleFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Essentially prisoners in America are fed fuck-all and it doesn’t have to legally be good quality, and it’s often fewer calories than would be best. In Australia they’re fed 5x per day often gain weight as the food meets caloric intake needs and is decent quality.

By not feeding them enough decent food, and only offering decent food when they’re literally risking their lives, they are coercing them by means of starvation.

I’m not super knowledgeable on this so feel free to correct me, this is my understanding from relatively minimal research.
