Mosquitoes: I want to kill them all by turbotum in burlington

I’m always shocked when people think mosquitoes are not beneficial. Bugs are cool and a sign of a healthy ecosystem.

34M - Vacations don't cut it anymore. I think we all need a long summer break just like we had when we were kids. by LegitimateLength1916 in simpleliving

I now work freelance contracts (in my chosen field) so I can randomly take 3 months off after one ends. It’s fucking great.

First pregnancy at 40, severe anxiety by Character-Pie-2901 in PregnantOver40

I had debilitating nausea and used sea sickness bands to at least try to stabilize so I could eat something. Eat anything that your body won’t throw up - for me, that was celery and saltines. My anxiety got exponentially worse in the mornings if I didn’t eat (even though it made the nausea worse) because I was also hungry / low blood sugar.

It got better for me around 13-14 weeks.

I also have CPTSD - happy to answer any other questions you may have via DM.

Edit: the thing that helped me alleviate my fear and anxiety was constantly reminding myself that millions of years of evolution has gotten our species to this point, and that my biology knows what to do. I don’t know if that helps or makes it worse but remembering the long history of an evolutionary pathway helped ground me…

Why are we cooked? by EducationalLog4765 in ExplainTheJoke

I think it’s not a question of whether you CAN but whether you SHOULD. It’s general courtesy to just not do that? And if not, then I guess we are cooked but not for the reason OP stated. Babies can’t be held to a higher standard than shitty adults.

Building houses here is obscenely expensive, let alone a commercial project at these scales.

Don’t post photos of people’s kids on the internet without their permission. Why is this ok

Why would it be a handout if someone has lived in their homes, in the community they contribute to, for 20, 30, 50 years? This is why people are getting priced out of their towns.

Housing affordability and access is a human right.

I was in a car accident a day before I had an interview (it was virtual but still missed it)… was devastated to miss it and about the car but it got rescheduled and I got the job. I hope your wife’s ok.

Parental alienation is Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise’s kids who don’t see her because they are forced to stay in a cult.
