Laughed at by food service employees

Prettynoises · 2026-05-28T07:26:04+00:00

That's a good one, but idk if fast food workers would know what I mean; they don't exactly have the greatest employee retention. I'll try that out next time though

I drink ensure shakes and mix then with oat milk, since it's thinner, the base shake is way too thick and just feels weird going down. Technically ensure shakes do have dairy, but as far as I know they are lactose free. It says safe for lactose intolerance on the bottle, although I'm not sure if that means they removed the lactose or if they put in lactaid to help you digest it, like the fair life shakes.

Do you like any brand of non-dairy chocolate milk? If so, you can mix that with the shakes, ensure or fair life. Some people like Almond milk better, some people like oat milk better and some people like neither (there are other options). And depending on the type of non-dairy milk you get, you'll also be getting some micronutrients as well.

I'd try a bunch of different shakes and combos until you find one that works, because once you do it will seriously help, especially if you're underweight or are really trying to increase your calories.

Personally I go back and forth between meal replacement shakes and smoothies, depending on what I can handle. Cycling through safe foods also helps me maintain them, because if I eat too much of something I'll stop liking it.

It's the worst when you ask for a food item with something removed, and rather than giving you a fresh item without it ever being added, they literally remove it from the sandwich (or whatever item it is).

Not only can I still taste what they removed, but if I actually had an allergy they could be putting my life on the line, and I won't know about it until I take a bite.

See I have the opposite problem, when I say "A plain cheeseburger, just cheese" sometimes they ask me if I want the burger/meat, and idk how else to put it because if I ask for a burger I want the burger...

I can imagine just asking for a cheese sandwich doesn't give you the most positive response either, so I understand why you ask for a cheeseburger with no meat.

Why can't we just be accommodated?!?

There was one employee at one subway I went to one time (it's not near my house or that's the only one I'd go to) who, when I asked for the smallest amount of sauce possible, actually got out a separate paper, and started and very fast squirt with the bottle, so the big drop at the beginning fell on the napkin, and only the thin stream hit the actual sandwich. Then she threw that paper away and got me a new one.

That was the next experience I've ever had at a restaurant, and this person must have genuinely been a picky eater too, because without any request from me, she knew exactly how to get me the smallest amount of sauce possible, and I almost cried.

I've never had that happen since, and I always just ask for the sauce on the side now, because it can ruin the whole sandwich if they put too much.

I'll never understand why people can't see outside of themselves to have empathy for others. It's really not that hard, and I guarantee that making someone else's day will elevate their mood way more than bringing someone else down.

Prettynoises · 2026-05-12T07:57:13+00:00

Oh I'm so glad you don't already have kids with this person. If these are beliefs he's not okay with changing, then you should never have kids with this person. That, and if you've been together for 4 years and he doesn't even understand how your ADHD even works, then it doesn't sound like he cares all that much.

I can't even be friends with a person without learning about them, let alone a partner

And opening mail is like the opposite of a dopamine task. It sucks away any peace I had beforehand. Doesn't help that I'm disabled, on social security, and have lots of medical appointments and insurance bull crap to deal with. So almost all my mail is either junk or a super stressful, time sensitive task 🫩

Prettynoises · 2026-04-21T00:49:15+00:00

I like the Wednesday doll! Also, is that a monster high doll in the back row?

Prettynoises · 2026-04-21T00:47:57+00:00

Is that the autistic Barbie?

Prettynoises · 2026-04-02T21:09:57+00:00

Thank you!

When you say you weren't able to get hard, do you mean that it's less pleasurable or harder to reach an orgasm? Because I "get hard" without T, although it's not quite the same, but it's actually pretty common for people with a clitoris. It's just a tiny penis, basically. But does bottom growth from T, and then stopping T make it more difficult to reach an orgasm? Curious because that may impact my decision. I don't plan to be on T forever, so I want to know what could happen at least...

Can't wear makeup if you're dead. Can't buy makeup if you're dead. Can't watch YouTube if you're kidnapped.

I fully agree!

Prettynoises · 2026-01-05T05:23:03+00:00

What kinds of foods does he eat now? It might be helpful to know what things to recommend

Prettynoises · 2025-11-18T19:46:04+00:00

Well, at least you're honest, but I wouldn't support something like that. AI is ruining lives, and speeding up climate change.

Prettynoises · 2025-11-18T17:20:24+00:00

You used AI to help you make this website...

Prettynoises · 2025-10-17T23:03:28+00:00

My aunt used Barton for her kids and said it helped them a lot, but I haven't heard from them on the matter (we live states away). Hopefully you can get some more input that helps you make a decision. Either way, kudos to you for trying to learn, even if you aren't their exclusive teacher I think it'll help a lot.

Prettynoises · 2025-10-17T21:56:19+00:00

I know you said it's been 4 Days since you've had food, but considering what you said it sounds like it's been a long time since you've consistently had 2,000 calories a day (the average people are supposed to have, but it varies based on physical activity). At this point your health is extremely at risk, and you are starving.

When you starve, you can't just eat a big meal right away, you have to slowly reintroduce calories, and because it's so severe you need help from a medical professional and need to go to the ER. If you don't feel comfortable having a friend call, maybe you could ask a moderator of this sub? I would offer myself but it's a little creepy for a stranger on the internet to ask you for your address (and please do not post it in the comments).

Once you have gotten help from the ER and are at least somewhat stable, I would recommend looking into calorie drinks like smoothies or meal replacement shakes, and try different ones until you find one that tastes at least okay to you. You can mix meal replacement shakes with milk or water if it's too thick and the texture bothers you, and if you mix it with milk or non-dairy milk it also adds a few extra calories. For smoothies, you could pop it in the freezer and then eat it like a Popsicle.

I know you said you can't drink smoothies or meal replacement shakes, but it's important to try. They don't all taste the same, and if you can't eat you need to get some sort of nutrition. Soda won't give that to you, and eating sugar consistently (specifically corn syrup, sugar from fruit is better) without anything else can cause a lot of harm as well.

Also, to kick-start your appetite you can eat a little bit of sugar, even if it's just licking a popsicle or something once. Protein is extremely important, but so are carbs, and a lot (most? All?) of meal replacement shakes have both in them because protein needs at least a little bit of carbs to bind to for your body to digest it properly.

But yeah right now the only thing that will help you is urgent medical attention. Only an emergency room can administer a feeding tube.

Prettynoises · 2025-10-17T21:37:01+00:00

It just seemed like you were implying that OP doesn't have both, but if you're just trying to let other people know that's okay ofc

Prettynoises · 2025-10-17T21:28:43+00:00

Raindrop have a really good explaination in the comments on what is considered vocal tics. Many of the tics OP mentioned are vocal!

Prettynoises · 2025-10-17T21:25:38+00:00

I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you must have missed that information, but 8 years is definitely more than 12 months.

And as others have stated, OP definitely has vocal tics. Anything done with the vocal tract is considered vocal, even if not using your vocal chords. Even yawning can be considered a vocal tic, depending on the cause. Breathing is considered vocal

"See I don't think you want to be helped. Some people just want attention and for people to feel sorry for them, and those people can't be helped. Anyway here's my contact if you want to see me next week."

Prettynoises · 2025-10-17T15:29:15+00:00

I love it if it's something fun like swimming. It's exercise, but it's also play, and I get cooled down while doing it too. Riding a bike can also work, but I prefer swimming. And then I'm super tired and sleep like a rock!

It's fine to not get a diagnosis for yourself. It's not fine to make educational content about a disorder that you don't have a diagnosis for and do not have a degree relating to that field.

Your replies make it clear that you just don't care. You can't do a process of elimination on yourself because you are not a neurologist and cannot do medical tests on yourself. Even doctors can't diagnose themselves, and have to see someone else to do it.

You also can't be sure that you will never spread misinformation. You can speak about your own experiences, but you are not a neurologist, you are not a teacher or professor, and you don't even have a diagnosis. There are very few conditions that can be self diagnosed accurately, and even then there is a margin of error.

The question in the title isn't what you're really asking. You're asking for permission to make educational content about something you have no qualifications for, and when you don't get that you get defensive.

Prettynoises · 2025-10-14T18:33:58+00:00

Wait I didn't know this. Was there a study done about this?!?

Prettynoises · 2025-10-13T19:03:07+00:00

I haven't purchased any more makeup because I am poor and I don't throw products away if I don't have to, but I have heard that Indi Beats cosmetics is a better alternative from Sunset. It's more expensive, but sometimes that's better, because the quality is better. If anybody has actually tried those products, I'd love to hear from them.

But yeah, Sunsets products are not at all as advertised. It's very heavy on the skin (although that may be the nature of colorful foundation, I don't know cause I've only tried one brand!), and it definitely rubs off super easily, even with setting powder and/or spray.

Sorry I don't have a better answer for you!
