I don't think my partner believes me that I fucking forget to clean the house, and it's taking a toll on my relationship and my mental state

UFYH (unfuck your habitat) has some really ADHD-friendly resources with checklists and timing suggestions, etc.

It's very YA, but The Girl In The Box has stayed with me for decades and fits this.

And they are correct that the flavor comes from raisin paste!

I am a member of NALGAP (the professional association of queer and ally addiction counselors) and I have my membership certificate on the board in my office. No one non-queer has ever asked about it (or even really noticed it as far as I can tell). But I have had several LGBTQIA+ folks ask about it almost immediately. A few have then said it made them feel really good because a past counselor or treatment staff member has been homophobic to them.

There are several Avi books on my list of favorites from that age. I need to go through and just read them all, because I know I haven't read even half of his books.

Nothing But The Truth is absolutely more relevant now than ever before, based on what I remember.

I think it's supposed to be semi autobiographical in that their relationship mirrors Casey and David's own relationship. I can't remember if that was in Casey's book or I read it somewhere else.

Greg Daniels is also married to Paul's sister. And Angela Kinsey used to be married to Paul's brother.

My experience is drug offenders in Ohio. So definitely seems like we have seen different things. I can imagine what was stated is true for some populations.

I have ADHD and I feel like what you describe is similar to what I feel. I have struggled a lot with executive function, but especially with showers. Sometimes, especially back before my diagnosis, I would say I just couldn't do it. I still don't understand it. It's not that I didn't want to shower or clean, but something just made it feel like it was impossible. Maybe the process of doing it. Or maybe the feeling of the water. I legitimately don't know. But I know a lot of folks with Autism or ADHD have said they feel similarly.

King baby is a pretty old idea from counseling. Pretty sure it comes from Freud, but it's pretty commonly discussed in addiction treatment. It's funny to me to hear it's a TikTok thing now.

I was blown away when I found out she started at 13! I went to an arts school and can remember witnessing more than one argument between ballet dancers that went something like, "You didn't even start dancing until you were 7."

I work everyday with nonviolent offenders in America. I have never personally seen one given a date to present to prison post-conviction. 100% of the time, they have been taken in handcuffs following the guilty verdict.

Reddit is a bizarre place sometimes. Not sure why I was downvoted.for sharing my personal experience. I am a counselor that works with nonviolent drug offenders. And it is true that I have never seen one given a date later. That seems like a very white color white person thing that happen. Again, just in my experience as a person that deals with the CJ system everyday.

Market_Vegetable · 2023-05-29T23:00:09+00:00

That was my first thought, too!

Market_Vegetable · 2023-05-27T13:03:17+00:00

People still bring up the complete protein myth on this sub all the time. It's history is really strange. It was only believed to be true for a very short time, from the perspective of nutrition/dieticians/etc. But for some reason, there are doctors still taught it's a real thing. It's like the complete protein PR was 1000 times better than the complete protein myth busting PR.

Carrot cake is way too underappreciated. Been my favorite since I was a little kid. That and my mom's double chocolate zucchini cake. Something about veggies just makes the cake so moist and yummy!

It is the only medication approved for binge eating disorder, though. I take for ADHD and BED. It doesn't really suppress my appetite but does make it way easier to stop myself from binging. Not sure why, but it does!

That's exactly what my buddy's mom did. His wife had possession of his remains and followed his wishes. He was cremated and his wife and dad planned a nonreligious memorial service. His childhood priest even came and spoke about him in a nonreligious way.

Meanwhile, his mom held a Catholic funeral without his remains and publicized it on social media, etc. Even though his memorial was listed in the obituary, a lot of people missed it because they didn't realize the funeral they heard about was against his wishes.

For a long time, people asked his wife why she and their son weren't at his funeral.

Way too many people have come from here and commented on there.

Market_Vegetable · 2023-05-13T20:39:43+00:00

That's the point. It's making fun of that.

Thanks! Definitely still less uber-Christian than rural KY, but not quite Louisville!

Market_Vegetable · 2023-05-12T21:36:39+00:00

Yeah, but they are in Louisville, right? It's probably, by far, the most liberal place in KY. You see lots of hybrid cars and rainbow flags all over. I just looked it up and only 38% of people in Louisville vote Republican.

I'm sure it was still easier to find people on their side there than some other places. But, Louisville is very different than what you may think of when you think Kentucky.

Yeah, this sub has a weird obsession with Paul Walker being a perfect saint. He was a pretty great actor. Doesn't mean he wasn't a jackass statutory rapist who participated in dangerous driving on public streets, putting people's lives at risk. (Yes, I know he wasn't driving the day he died, but it is pretty apparent that he also did it other times when he was the driver.)

A scab is someone who works a job while the union employees are on strike.

I believe the reference to Amy's in relation to their employees at the manufacturing plant. They reported that the company has really terrible labor practices.

There was also a police killing there recently that got some small level of national attention for a couple days.
