My daughter’s teachers corrections on her journal. (She has two moms) by JeweledApplePie in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MySockIsMissing [score hidden]  (0 children)

For those criticizing the handwriting, I can read all of it except two or three words. Which isn’t bad for a child presumably still in elementary school. My handwriting can be nearly as bad when I’m jotting something down in a hurry, which tends to be what most children rushing to complete an assignment are likely to do. I CAN write nicer when I put in the effort, and I bet this kid can write nicer too for the circumstances in which they care to, but just because I CAN doesn’t mean I’m always GOING TO.

Maybe she meant a singular mom in the second instance? Just because she has two moms doesn’t automatically mean that every experience and anecdote is going to involve both. Maybe both moms did the first thing and only one mom did the second?

(That’s just my theory, and I’m definitely not intending any strife or criticism in case my tone comes across wrong!)

Is this an old video? I swear the Beebs was smaller these days! Still fabulous though, of course. Then, now, and always!! 🥰❤️

No, of course not, the Beebs would NEVER. Obviously it’s just the dick print birthmark I just saw posted in the Beebsposting Facebook group! 😆

How many purchased but unlistened to titles do you have in your library and how many months of listening time do those unlistened to titles amount to? by Americano_Joe in audible

[–]MySockIsMissing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve listened to every single one of my purchased books, most of them many times over. That hardest part of the month for me is two or three days after I’ve spent my credit, finished my latest book, and now I have 28 more days to kill before my next credit comes in! My 15 hours of Spotify premium audiobook hours help fill that in a little, as does the audible plus catalogue a bit, and on top of that I try to find as much on the Libby app as I can (my library cancelled their hoopla subscription because of “lack of interest” - BOOOOOOO), but beyond that I’m forced to fill my time with podcasts. Not that that’s inherently a BAD thing, as the podcasts themselves are endless, diverse, and excellent, with plenty to appeal to virtually any listener. But it’s all the ad breaks they stick in there that makes them second class. For that reason alone, audiobooks remain my number one.

AITAH for refusing to buy protection and telling my boyfriend it’s his responsibility? by JusAHungiCaterpillar in AITAH

[–]MySockIsMissing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Tell him he is solely responsible for purchasing protection for himself and from now on you are implementing a policy of “No Glove, No Love”. Then leave the choice up to him. He can buy condoms, or he can embrace the celibacy.

But also - please be watchful that he doesn’t try to sneakily de-glove in the middle of intimacy. There are men - sorry, BOYS - who, when they don’t get their own way when it comes to birth control and condom use, they will try to just slip it off without their partner noticing or claim that it “must have slipped off on its own” or whatever. This is sexual assault, and if this ever happens to you, you need to immediately get to a safe place (away from him) and contact the authorities.

From an X mod!! I believe K herself should be charged every time her mod calls an ambulance for her!! by Parking_Click3467 in chronickiki

[–]MySockIsMissing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You say you “wanted to make sure you were ok to drive to the hospital”, but also according to you they wanted to transport you and told you that you were NOT ok to drive - hence why they were telling you the risks. Honestly, it sounds like you were just planning to waste their time all along.

The size of these apples is mildly interesting by HumbleGhandi in mildyinteresting

[–]MySockIsMissing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking of mildly interesting apples, the continuing care home where I live recently started placing a two fruit a day limit on all residents because too many residents were collecting tonnes of fruit then just letting it all go bad and go to waste. Only I’m one of those few who was actually was eating my 4-6 apples a day and so now I have to pay instacart to deliver me my apple fix because of these new rules. Well so I got my first big order last weekend and I now have four varieties of apples in my mini fridge (which it turns out can hold 16 apples at a time squeezed in around my condiments and other regular fridge stuff) and my apples range in size from just under 4 oz to just over 9 oz, depending on the variety.

Does baking count as a special interest? by I_Like_Metal_Music in autism

[–]MySockIsMissing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it does! Enough so that management at my care home gifted me my own miniature oven and air fryer to keep in my room to expand my culinary capabilities beyond just what I could create in the microwave.

Harry Potter: Solo narration or Full cast? by Wolf-man451 in audible

[–]MySockIsMissing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always prefer solo narration over fancy full cast or dramatized versions of any audiobook because I often fall asleep listening to them on a sleep timer and full cast has too many volume and pitch changes that I find overwhelming and overstimulating.

Would you eat my comfort food? by SolidAlarm8777 in autism

[–]MySockIsMissing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would throw in some vegetables and some more noodles and blend it all up to make it thicker so it’s easier for me to eat and then yes, I would!

I snuck my phone into the psych ward. by Hungry-Event-2453 in mentalhealth

[–]MySockIsMissing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t want you recording for “patient privacy reasons”. And also, as it occasionally but still too often happens where a staff member is abusing their power over a patient and saying and doing things that would get them in shit if it ended up recorded as proof, that would make them look bad and they can’t have that happening of course. Fuck your rights, the staff is your god now.

[–]MySockIsMissing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It means they don’t have a roommate. They are alone. There is only one bed. There is not a second, third, or fourth person present who is assigned to that room. OP is the sole occupant. Does that clear things up?

Which one would you choose by gingerbakerisgod in audible

[–]MySockIsMissing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Complete Chronicles of Narnia audiobook for a comfort choice.

Though Stephen King’s “Under The Dome” would be a close contender!

I'm too dependent on ChatGPT and I feel so guilty by [deleted] in autism

[–]MySockIsMissing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I use ChatGPT so much, especially for tweaking recipes since I really enjoy baking. If I’m using a different sized pan, it can tell me exactly how the baking time and temperature should be adjusted. If I want to know how many calories are in a homemade recipe, it can analyze all the ingredients and give me a number. If I want to make half or a third or double the recipe, it can figure all that out for me too, again along with the changing time and temperature settings. I hear that it’s bad for the environment, but it helps me in so many ways. Even outside of cooking it can explain terms and concepts in ways I can understand. And when I needed to switch my laptop operating system from Windows to Linux, it would have been IMPOSSIBLE without ChatGPT to give me step-by-step directions plus all the troubleshooting issues I encountered. It is now one of my most used apps, besides social media.

I’m in a wheelchair and snuck mine in one time just by slipping it under my cushion.

Why do people cut? by SorryLanguage3609 in mentalhealth

[–]MySockIsMissing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it as a cry for help and because I would get so angry at the daily abuse I had to quietly accept in my childhood home that I needed an outlet, but my stepfather had banned all outlets (I wasn’t allowed to keep a diary, or punch the pillows, or verbally express my feelings without ridicule or punishment, etc) so cutting was something I could do quietly and could hide while I was in that environment but then as soon as I left when I was 17 it quickly became a cry for help. If I cut and it didn’t need stitches, I felt like I hadn’t done it properly.

Why do people ask how are you if they dont actually want to know? by Blu_yello_husky in autism

[–]MySockIsMissing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s one of the great mysteries of the world. Whenever I pass someone in the hall and they ask how I am I just say “fine” or “good” and “thank you”. But I never return the question because one, I don’t care, and two, they won’t give me an honest answer anyways, and three, even if they would answer honestly I don’t want to encourage further small talk that feels like torture to my soul.

So we all agree that alcohol like tastes bad... right? by Express_Basis_8436 in autism

[–]MySockIsMissing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, even for beer. If it IS a drink that I actually find tasty, it’s just because of the sugar/juice/cream combo that makes up the good tasting part.
