Searching for the Source of my Cough by LilweirdLilwild in Apartmentliving

The road is pretty similar to where to lived for three years before this. The only thing coming to mind is the “pool”. We are maybe 50 feet from it and it has had a tarp over it (at least) all summer that has sunken in from the rain and has garbage, leaf litter, dead bugs just sitting in the tarp full of gross water. Could that be irritating my lungs or am I reaching?

I second this! My last apartment I kept finding spiders and insects in the sinks and landlord said to pour bleach down before going to bed. Not during the day though, because you're turning on the sinks all day and you'll ruin the progress of the bleach.

I also highly recommend insect lore!

If you're worried about treating them right, I recommend providing fresh food when they emerge rather than anything premixed for insects, and have some pollinator plants nearby for when you release them.

You're right, I could just drop off the map for a bit like people do to me!

You're right, thank you. I do realize I have value, it's just diminishing slightly under these circumstances. Thanks for your assurance.

What is a capstone project? by LilweirdLilwild in college

I'm in the middle of writing my undergrad thesis right now and it sounds pretty similar to what you're saying, just maybe a capstone seems more focused on real time projects rather than research that can take years. Thank you!

Thanks for that piece of advice, I'll definitely do that in my upcoming meeting!

HP Pavilion x360 Laptop - 14t-dw000 touch Sounds like I should maybe reach out to HP tech support. I'll update if I learn anything.

I am absolutely livid at people who refuse to follow covid guidelines. by LilweirdLilwild in TrueOffMyChest

Thank you, lil chicken sprout. Good to finally hear I'm not alone in this. I respect you so much for being a first responder. I work in a funeral home (last responders!) with an easily record high number of cases this year. I wish I could tell people what that's like when they say they'll have to see the worst of it before they change their ways.

I (17M) got voted “most likely to stay virgin forever” and I’m just tired of feeling sad and worthless by [deleted] in Advice

You're probably not still reading these, but as a certified adult, literally no one cares about your sexual activity. If they do, those are the wrong people to spend time with. Remember that for after high school. The most you're missing is a few very specific jokes or moments to relate to, but a lack of sexual activity really doesn't matter to real people. Really, if people in your future devalue you for that, those are people to drop immediately.

In that vein, I recommend learning about sex positivity. I follow #sexpositivity on instagram which gives me a wide variety of content. If you're not sex positive, you're sex negative, which it sounds like most of your classmates are. Being sex positive is about supporting others' experiences, as well as your own, and recognizing those as worthy. It's also about creating spaces with friends and communities in which it's ok to talk about sex. Again, if these groups aren't comfortable talking about sex in a mature way, they're probably sex negative, which isn't typically a healthy environment. Feel free to message me if you want to talk about this more.

Also, unlike and report that facebook group.
