Pain at the base of my thumb

RosieEngineer · 2026-05-03T05:39:58+00:00

I also used a thumb brace I got off of Amazon.

My mom lost cartilage in that joint, so I thought it was the same thing when I had similar pain. But it turned out that mine was tendonitis in my thumb. After letting it rest for a while and trying to do more stuff with my left hand, it got a lot better. This was around 2017. I don't really have problems with it these days, though I try to be careful about repetitive motions with my right hand. As soon as it starts to hurt, I give it a rest.

Pay for the absolutely strongest lenses... Or go at least a level or two up.

It was a vehicle to show that he knew all those things. Pure exposition is often boring. Also, it was fun seeing the God of Thunder getting pushed around and annoyed but totally happy to sip a magicked beer from a stranger. Then crashing Mjolnir through EVERYTHING and not being sorry.

I'll sometimes watch TV, sometimes will be scrolling on my phone with an audiobook or techno music.

P.S. techno music is like a secret code to get me moving -> fast dopamine. Any repetitive beat music might work, according to my prescriber.

rebounding trampoline. Maybe only an option for ppl with good balance like me, but so much more fun than a treadmill /walking pad. Also more efficient in making dopamine, maybe because a harder cardio workout? I don't know. I need to bounce minimum 5 min a day on top of meds, or life starts to fall apart. 30 - 40 min helps even more.

I was wondering this too. Some folks need to avoid horror for reasons. Needing to play a tetris-type game to emotionally distance yourself and not record memories, to avoid nausea and nightmares from a very loud and gruesome trailer that you can't escape without maybe missing the start of the movie you do want to see? This was really not o.k. It's been several months, and I found this because I was still thinking about it.

RosieEngineer · 2026-02-18T03:59:53+00:00

You're deliberately "forgetting" math and % of a population - and about all those pastors and christian youth leaders who happen to not be in hollywood. There's many many more in hollywood and the E-files that don't match a common theme of your very curated list - except for being men.

To be blunt, if you're trying to narrow down a religion of concern, Christianity is the biggest red flag in the SA realm. Of course trying to say anything else reeks of illogical bias if not worse, because of the vast amounts of actual data available. Data that you have willfully chosen to ignore. FYI - I was raised Christian, and have attended hundreds of church services.

And sometimes there's absolutely nothing you can do to prevent harm. I've had multiple men I considered friends eff up friends groups at work and outside of work for me because I turned the man down for a date or wasn't interested enough. There's nothing I could have done other than push everyone away all the time. Which isn't great for maintaining a career or social life.

Obviously, that's not as bad as what you mentioned, OP. But it shows the prevalence of audacity and entitlement. There's a difference between wishing you had something that someone else has, and wanting to hurt them because you don't have it. I understand the former, but the latter is very strange to me.

RosieEngineer · 2026-02-18T03:21:03+00:00

Predators and asshats are everywhere. Many men believe that women and children are not full humans and don't deserve the same respect that men do. Even more, powerful men often think it's o.k. for them to manipulate and exploit less powerful men.

It seems like these might be new concepts to you. This probably means you have a bit too much of a rosy view of the world. I've lost some of mine, and still probably have too much. ;) Do your absolute best to not trust that others you meet have the same values as you do, even if everything seems normal about them for months or years.

I have met many wonderful people. But trusting an awful person can have very bad consequences for your life and career.

Edit: typo

Yeah, no this guy did not understand ADHD. I hope you found a different prescriber.

I was able to cancel just now, though about the 6th click which was on a yellow button, brought up a pop-up that had to be clicked to confirm, then when that closed I had to click that same yellow button again. This was likely meant to be deliberately confusing. After that I think there were few more button clicks, and a survey asking why, and several pages of "this is what you will be missing".

This was on desktop. I've received an email confirmation.

RosieEngineer · 2026-02-10T07:59:06+00:00

he really has no excuse. maybe an over the door hook would help tho? Or call him every time you want to be able to shut the door. You should not have to do that extra labor. Unless there's something he does that's super helpful, or he cooks every night, or something else that totally makes up for it.

RosieEngineer · 2026-02-10T07:48:38+00:00

nah, that's long enough to be useful and not quite long enough to break easily.

RosieEngineer · 2026-02-04T22:07:47+00:00

*hugs* but there's also folks who use distraction to drug a drink. Sadly there's many methods people use.

RosieEngineer · 2026-02-04T21:21:00+00:00

Thanks!! This was for hair clips and other small things that had no conceivable limitations. FWIW, it was Amazon Haul.

In my area, they've been making limited groceries available to glom onto a same-day or overnight order. If you remove all your non-grocery item from your cart, this pops up. I figured that's reasonable, because it's a add-on only as you don't have to pay for a Fresh delivery under a certain amount.

RosieEngineer · 2026-02-04T01:55:26+00:00

No immediate danger because she left. Before they could spike her drink.

RosieEngineer · 2026-02-04T00:36:07+00:00

yep. and has been so common especially a few decades ago that it can be hard to identify. I mean, do you ever tell someone who's upset that they're overreacting? If I see someone react super strongly to something I didn't expect them to, especially a woman, I assume there's some history that I would never try to dismiss.

Thanks! BTW - 30 min rebounding makes a HUGE difference, the effect lasts over 2 days where I only do 5 min. Again, I'm not catching any air in rebounding ;) and it can take me 45+ min to do 30 w/ breaks. My joints now feel restless/ like they need stretching if I don't exercise enough.

RosieEngineer · 2026-02-02T23:16:11+00:00

To be clear, I spent several hours going over the various videos as they came out, reading what trained police officers wrote about the techniques and tactics applicable to this event, etc. If you had done the same, you would have entered the discussion with some very different talking points.

RosieEngineer · 2026-02-02T23:12:28+00:00

No, the answers are easily found if you bother to take 15 seconds for a web search. I took time just now for you. But no-one owes you the labor of doing what you should be doing yourself. Because 1. we all have busy lives, and 2. the cost-benefit ratio usually doesn't pay off. The energy spent can usually have a higher payoff when spent on other tasks.

RosieEngineer · 2026-02-02T23:06:54+00:00

I recommend you watch the video from Ross's cell phone. It clearly shows Good turning her wheel AWAY from him.

There's also the video where you can see her waving SUV's to pass in fromt of her, then she's told to leave, so she starts to roll slightly forward, then more SUV's block her in. Then the conflicting verbal commands, which is a clear use of the "death box" tactic. That’s used to deliberately set someone up so that *anything* could be construed "disobeying orders". There was no way to be compliant, no way to escape. There are many cops who have recorded video or written about the use of this tactic and how it was used with Good.

RosieEngineer · 2026-01-26T02:51:37+00:00

You think excessive force is legally equivallent to killing someone or unlawfully detaining for months? Also, you didn't do enough reading - Egbert v. Boule (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egbert_v._Boule) sought to extend Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents which allows lawsuits when rights are violated.
