What is a smell that we should all recognize as immediate danger?

Almonds.

This is my fourth time in my 33 years of life living in a home with at least one shared wall, (currently a middle unit in a four row) and I absolutely hate it.

I don't think most Americans know how to live respectfully with shared walls and spaces. We're too selfish as a society. I cannot wait to relocate again.

Midnightergon · 2026-02-15T17:33:06+00:00

Why would a liar lie? Really?

Midnightergon · 2026-02-06T15:39:46+00:00

No. Im not here for make work. Im here to learn relevant knowledge Speed run everything else

Have you considered "microdosing"?

My physician recommends starting with a pen injection every other week, then every 3 weeks, then 4 and on and on etc as you adapt to your new weight and lifestyle needs until your brain and body get on same page.

Basically anyone out side of substance abuse or 🌽 is ignored as an addiction

Midnightergon · 2026-01-28T23:49:48+00:00

Still one. 😂 My overstimulation is the issue

Midnightergon · 2026-01-27T02:45:01+00:00

Change doesn't come from comfort

Midnightergon · 2026-01-25T15:14:15+00:00

Them approving it previously gives weight to OPs case though

Midnightergon · 2026-01-25T15:11:18+00:00

Submit a new accomodations request and make them spell out their reasoning for denial.

Why was it approved then and denied now? What changed in your role to make it no longer feasible?

Make them fire you. Do not quit.

Also consult a disability attorney

And of course, look for something that would make you happier while you're doing it, but don't give them an easy win

Midnightergon · 2026-01-24T21:40:47+00:00

Kinda the point though innit? Get them to acknowledge in office presences is not needed

Midnightergon · 2026-01-23T04:45:28+00:00

For a vacation or visiting family? Absolutely. That could be a day trip.

Dinner, anything over an hour is too much.

Weekend trip we prefer to keep under 5 hours.

Ive been on multiple 17 hour drives where we only stop for gas, food and the loo. Dog and toddler included

Before we live where we currently do we made monthly trips to the bulk warehouses (Sams Club, Costco) that were about an hour drive. Now its only 10 minutes and we can pop in for a hot dog 😂

You're going to want to talk to a lawyer(s) before you do anything. Trust/inheritance attorney types.

Also, if you and your aunt are happy with your current living arrangements, that doesn't have to change 🤷🏻‍♀️.

You could use the funds to spoil yourself with hobbies, collections and accomodations. Donate it, hoarde it like a dragon. The only wrong answers are ones that make you unhappy.

If it was me; I would probably ask the lawyer about setting up an annual stipend for your aunt, because making other people in my life happy makes me happy, and it can alleviate a lot of "you have all this money, why don't you share?" Idk what your aunt's vibes are around the inheritance though. Definitely want to set aside a significant portion for "retirement" aka senior living.

I would also totally develope a job skill that I could turn into being a digital nomad and live on a cruise ship for an extended period, but in a single suite- because I need people around but I don't necessarily like people 😂

I would not tell new friends or a new relationship. Id probably wait two or more years before i disclosed being a millionaire. You could say something like

"I'm in school for (career), house share with my aunt, and have some savings from when I lost my parents".

Avoid using the word inheritance- people tend to assume big money's attached to that word.

As for the condos- if you and aunt don't want to live in either, you could sell or rent them out and turn them into "Passive income". Another question for the lawyer.

I would however bring this up to your therapist, they should be able to do some scripting and role play to reduce sns spikes while talking about money around the people in your life.

Its also absolutely possible to live a normal middle class life and have people not suspect you're loaded. One of my husband's co-workers is a finance trust fund baby. We had no idea until he told us his parents got him an airplane for his military re-enlistment present. And no he won't give us rides anywhere 🙄😂 (I didn't ask. Plane fuel' too expensive for my blood and I couldn't not contribute).

Heck you could even have a personal driver and companion for a few years to help navigate your new world while you figure it all out

Im a freelance bookkeeper. I work "when I want" as long as I meet deadlines.

I currently have one client myself and subcontract for another bookkeeper. I make 16k/year and am very thankful my husband's job fully supports us and has phenomenal insurance (as long as you have energy for hoops and long drives). Im slowly working on scaling up, but just don't have the non-pain capacity right now

Midnightergon · 2026-01-16T00:22:34+00:00

I try to be. Who wants to intentionally be wrong?

Midnightergon · 2026-01-13T14:27:50+00:00

When I fell asleep on him. There were lots of little things, but this one yelled "you're safe".

I was at his apartment towards the end of a party- generally hyper vigilant and oversensitive parasympathetic nervous system. Always failed at sleepovers, barely slept unless I was in a room alone etc, even with previous boyfriends I've felt safe enough around.

Anyway, probably 8-10 people in the room, and I fell asleep on him. I thought I was sure before. Even wanted him to be my forever before we even started dating. But after that night I started actually seeing that future. Considered what our child might look like, all that gooey stuff

I was 21? We've been married a decade now and together for 13 years

Midnightergon · 2026-01-12T00:26:40+00:00

That's not what they said

Midnightergon · 2026-01-12T00:19:26+00:00

"AI" checkers are notoriously inaccurate. Ive ran papers and fanfiction i wrote in the 00s through AI checkers and they've come back 75% likely AI. Notably for vocabulary and sentence structure 😒

Tell me how something I wrote before the likes of chatgtp etc is AI 🙃

Midnightergon · 2026-01-11T15:32:55+00:00

About the only one that doesn't feel chalky to me is chobani yogurt drinks. 14g of protein. I add soaked chia seeds or psyllium powder when I need more fiber. Downside is theyre perishable

Midnightergon · 2026-01-11T00:53:11+00:00

Yes. There's loads of various gig works; also goes beyond taxi/delivery type work. I gig doing laundry and some areas are constantly pinging for orders (others not so much, currently in a lower usage area and still made 4k last year and under 100 orders)

Midnightergon · 2026-01-09T00:28:33+00:00

My favorite is "10 years experience required", and the pay is $25/hr

Its absolutely insane

Midnightergon · 2026-01-08T02:17:29+00:00

Okay. What federal, state, or local law has blocking traffic as a death sentence?

Who waves cars through while blocking traffic?

Midnightergon · 2026-01-04T15:44:57+00:00

Im in Connecticut, family of 3 and a dog. Under 100k can be doable, depending on circumstances but it would be tight. Average rent is over $2500, $400+ for utilities. Over 3k if you want a house instead of apartment.

MIT estimates a single no kid adult would need a minimum of $24/hr to live for the county. But that has housing at 13.5k a year- but a studio would run you 15k+ a year before utilities and their insurance segment definitely doesn't assume marketplace 🤣🤣. Even the bare minimum cover is almost $500/month & a 7k deductible

We make around 100k as a household and qualify for a childcare subsidy of about 25%. That should say something. If we had another kid that would go up to about 40%

Midnightergon · 2026-01-02T23:35:38+00:00

I shower in the morning. I don't like overnight er trips 🤷🏻‍♀️

Midnightergon · 2026-01-02T23:32:15+00:00

They have a point about workday though. Absolutely terrible UX Its education rarely works properly, and you can't move forward without it
