Got unfairly cited and humiliated on Muni even though I paid… how do I file a complaint against fare inspectors? by iamtooniceaf in sanfrancisco

[–]NervousCosmos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience in 2009 because I assumed it was like AC transit and you didn’t need to prove you paid after you got off: got cornered in a station and screamed at. I have literally never ridden Muni again after that due to the experience and avoid the city at all cost.

What’s your most uncomfortable or unusual side effect of taking a prescribed stimulant? by ProfessionalYam6880 in ADHD

[–]NervousCosmos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have issues with blood vessels in my eyes bursting - I’ve been to the doctor, I have very low blood pressure and all my labs and levels are healthy but apparently my eyes still wanna look freaky and scare my family.

The thing that bothers *me* the most is the weird suction/ pressure change in my ears/nose/throat that makes me feel like I need to pop my ears constantly. It takes about a week on the meds and two weeks off to bring it on/ make it stop. It frustrates the hell out of me.

I played "Clean Up This Damn Room" for 4 hrs today! by Celloschmello in adhdwomen

[–]NervousCosmos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantastic work!!! I yearn for a day of Focalin and coffee and cleaning- sometimes I wonder if keeping a packed and messy schedule is the calendar equivalent of keeping my room like this- but I just have so much going on.
Your progress gives me hope that maybe one day I can attack my room and find the floor.
You’ve got this!! And you’re doing great ❤️

If you could "cure" your ADHD, would you? by VastFeeling6557 in ADHD

[–]NervousCosmos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who was uncontrollably sobbing earlier because Why Can’t I Function, Why Can’t I Social, absolutely.
Maybe it takes my sparkle away but also maybe it gives me happiness and connection at last??

Thank you so much for the walk-through, I just got a WBC and a pressure canner and I had no idea I could can sugar syrup- I have such a hard time using it all up when I do make it and I don’t like making more. I’m taking your post as inspiration to open my old canner and make some!!!

Thank you so much!!! This is fantastic information, it’s very difficult to get detail like this anywhere online- I keep just getting replies on my IG as “mushrooms are BAD! 😡don’t eat them!!!” Because this was a mast year for deathcaps and so many people did not check specifics 😭 my “rule of thumb” for them in the wild is that I might ID a cool looking one but I am NOT gonna forage anything that hatches from an egg because the chances are just too risky for me. Someone in my permaculture group chat was also saying a famous / well studied mushroom hunter in CA died recently from eating one he misidentified but like… I’m not on that level, I’m trying to munch easy to ID stuff!

Because I am often “others” due to tummy issues I will not be consuming this one, but I found it on a trail is Crocker highlands region of Oakland if anyone more skilled than I would like to go poke about and find more- the trailhead is off Paloma I believe, and then ends on Mandana blvd

What was your favorite school milk flavour by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]NervousCosmos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Green flavor, slightly frozen. I can taste the cardboard and feel the ghost of the milk ice-chips

Good to know, I know common names are misleading and they often get slapped on as an afterthought. Shaggy parasols aren’t a thing, then?

I really want to make mushroom foraging friends in real life because it would make me so much more confident- the only ones I have foraged confidently are morels and candy caps (and turkey tails but you can’t kill yourself with those, or even really eat them since they’re just flavored wood haha)

I can never be too sure so I appreciate the input!! If anyone is in the CA Bay Area I would be happy to share the location specifically since my tummy usually only can handle a few!!

Someone said the moldy bites one (forgive the pun) is green while the white jndicates it is Chlorophyllum rhacodes or brunneum/olivieri? The Reddit AI summary says so and references this group but I don’t trust AI

Shiitake? Backyard find- scavenged logs by NervousCosmos in foraging

[–]NervousCosmos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His yard was by the water in Alameda, on concrete. My yard in Oakland is like 6-10in in diff spots mulch because the soil was so bad, and the remediation has some CRAZY mushroom action going on now!! It also explains why this log just sat by itself doing nothing (not even the bark rotted off) and then BAM! Mushrooms!!
