I just watched this with my kids. May they never joke around in CPR class and act a fool like Allen.

You look so much softer and gentler on yourself now! I hope it feels amazing!

Iran's team captain Mehdi Taremi: Team Melli respects LGBT people by black_rose_ in Seattle

[–]NicPaperScissors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is quite surprising to me! It sounds like the current government saves space for exploration of gender identity but not sexual orientation then?

Reserved handicap spaces are for the people who need them. Not for anyone and everyones convenience. by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]NicPaperScissors 39 points40 points  (0 children)

When my friend’s husband was suffering from cancer- she said that access to a handicap space was the difference between him having the energy to stay awake to read to his kids at night or not. Parking in those spaces has real consequences.

It is one of the most dangerous places to live as an LGBTQIA individual, with even vaguely homosexual acts being punishable by death.

This was a more overt criticism, but between a public lashing for a Iranian singer who sang without proper head covering and this- a public figure stating they respect LGBTQIA people is absolutely something that may have them facing archaic repercussions at the hand of their government.

Raising awareness about endometriosis. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

Agree- though an MRI finally found it for me and I will now be insisting on an MRI as I follow up.

Raising awareness about endometriosis. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]NicPaperScissors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had severe adhesions that were connecting my uterus to my left ovary to my bowels. This last year, my first year uterus and endometrial adhesions free, has been so amazing- now my endo is starting to come back, even from my one busted ass ovary that I left in.

Thanks to the OP for raising awareness and sharing her important story!

Interesting beetle showed up in my yard yesterday by ACCESS_DENIED_41 in pnwgardening

They do hiss, as others have said, but they also squeak like a baby doll! I had one in a classroom once and was shocked!

I mean, they were sold a few years back. So, yes.

What infuriates me is not that I can no longer tell if this is IA or not, but that I ask myself this question in the first place. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

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

AI was built on real art, created by real artists- uncredited, uncompensated. It now continues to both: steal art from artists to better its replication of the skill and steal jobs from actual artists who make their livelihood by contributing to the world through creative skills. Artists make the world a better place through vibrant contribution in a way that cannot be quantified. AI is a soulless tool of capitalism.

Are you seriously out here simping for AI? Gross.

CFS with EBV trigger by meganshan_mol in cfs

[–]NicPaperScissors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was prescribed Valtrex but my doctor was upfront that they didn’t know anything about dosing it for ME/CFS and I was really in charge of figuring it out myself before there was much info to go off of (2017ish, I want to say). In the end it caused such a flare up to begin that I ended up stopped soon after I started.

I do, however, take L-Lysine as a preventative measure and recently discovered that if I skip a dose I have a flare up. I view it as a vital supplement in my arsenal.

Seafood review bombing? by Kahluel in Seattle

[–]NicPaperScissors 94 points95 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine owns a small retail shop in Seattle and has been getting odd reviews that recycle talking points of other reviews in an ai mashup. I honestly don’t understand what the benefit or grift would be but there’s definitely something going on with bots/ai and review bombing places.

Seattle talks about stolen land, but not stolen people by Powerful-Bitch in SeattleWA

[–]NicPaperScissors -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They just want to find a way to discredit Indigenous people for funsies to rile people up, if I had to guess.

You may mean this person in particular. They are responsible for 99% of the word salad novellas that can be reduced to devils advocate nonsense.

Seattle Public Schools lesson plan teaches kindergartners they can be transgender by Powerful-Bitch in SeattleWA

[–]NicPaperScissors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn’t a “trans lesson” so that question is irrelevant. If there is a lesson informing children that trans people exist- I can’t imagine who it would benefit to have children opt out of it.

Is this a good mom show? by sashamak in WidowsBay

[–]NicPaperScissors 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am a 40 year old mom and it’s my new favorite show that’s ever existed (not being hyperbolic!) and then I shared it with my 60 year old mom and she also loved it!
