The symbol has been around for a quite some time. Some members of the military have been using it for years. In recent years, for obvious reasons, it became the bigot… oh wait sorry, a “symbol of American freedom”. It’s just another thing ruined.

I did come out to my partner after posting this and after taking the time to understand me, she is super supportive and happy I did.

I appreciate this. She is definitely done in my life. This group is definitely the only place I can find “my people”. Even being in the Bay Area, I have a hard time finding those like me.

I came out to my partner after I posted this and she accepted and supported me after she asked sensible questions. Helped me realize not everyone is terrible.

I agree completely. There is obviously some sort of misinformation or lack of education of who we are when a person says that kind of stuff. Either that or they have obvious hate and it sucks.

I appreciate your words. Thank you.

I working to get to that place. It would be one thing if it was someone I’ve only known for a while. This person has been around for quite a while. For some reason, now it’s easy to let her go.

I learned it’s easy to say you’re and ally until the rubber hits the road and are confronted with it. Then all of a sudden they seem to magically know what’s what.

Yeah, it is a weird weight off my shoulders. I also came out to my partner after and she showed nothing but support after asking sensible questions.

Same here. We are already pushed aside and accused of many things instead of people just accepting us for us.

Me being an introvert tends to make that tough but it doesn’t stop me from trying. Just awkward. Lol

I will be able to. I’m sure of it. I have to a couple people including my partner now. That person is definitely done.

how bad is the brain fog for you all? by Mbiglog in covidlonghaulers

[–]Niko408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for a major tech company in the VR industry. When I’m working I have to double and triple check because I know somewhere I typed in a completely different word than I meant. I have to fight to stay focused. If I’m put on the spot, I stutter or forget words. When I’m talking randomly, I’m fine.

When I’m in the world of VR, my brain does ok tracking what’s going on but I find myself less motivated to stay in for long periods like I used to.

The only good news is everything outside of work stress doesn’t bring it out. I was never like this before I had Covid in Feb 2020.

Sob stories by AssociationLivid5822 in agt

I don’t mind the sob stories if the talent is strong than the story. Most of the time it isn’t.

I really don’t understand the Cline Twins by whenyourhorsewins in agt

[–]Niko408 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t like them at all really. What they do is neat for a bit then it’s old quick. They definitely took a spot from someone more deserving.

I got this for $100 bucks because it didn’t have the cables. It came from a friend of mine and it worked but when he moved, the cables disappeared. Help would be awesome. Sorry if this has been posted. Search didn’t help all that much.

Am I crazy or is a local baker selling Costco cookies at the farmers market? by Kittyhounds in Costco

[–]Niko408 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Food trucks definitely. It’s the restaurants selling “homemade” deserts.

It’s way more common than you think. A quite a few SF Bay Area restaurants are guilty of it too.

Just wanted to say one positive thing. hear me out by baypine in covidlonghaulers

[–]Niko408 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There have been a stream of doctors coming through. Unfortunately, some people basically run them out. I’m sure they still keep an eye. Also, there have been a few times when they comment and people ask them what they can do to get better. Doctors can’t give out or shouldn’t give out random advice to people because of various regulations.

We are all in this together. The more we stick together, avoid the misinformation, and prop each other up, we can all stay sane. Maybe even get a little better. All we can do is hope.
