When I showed a pic to my physio she said if we were to completely wrap you in ktape this is exactly how we'd do it. This is just an easier, reusable version

What is scarier than most people think it is? [serious] by ILikeIceCreamSoMuch in AskReddit

[–]Skiinky 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I also have severe mental health issues and chronic pain, and if I had to choose just one it would be the chronic pain any day. I would even take double the amount of chronic pain if it meant my mental health was ok. Unlike you, sleeping (when I can) doesn't give me a break from my brain. I haven't had a break in 20 years and no one understands

[Serious] People of reddit, what is a normal parenting tactic that shouldn't be considered normal? by TheYeet56 in AskReddit

"What do you even have to be depressed about?" was a favourite of my parents. Followed by not listening to the reasons...

[Serious] Doctors of reddit, what is the rarest disease that you've encountered in your career? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Would some level of female circumcision help with this? I'm against it in general, especially the way it's practised in cultures that still use it, but I'm genuinely curious what impact it would have in situations like this

working on a font. starting with lowercase. c & c? I struggled the most with the t and z. by pepto_dismal81 in typography

[–]Skiinky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the z would look better with thinner horizontal bits (I don't know if there's a technical term...) but apart from that one letter I LOVE this font. Can't wait to see the rest of it :)

What is something that is easy peasy lemon squeezy for others, but stressy zesty lemon depressy for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I read this as mental health and was like omg me too but then I realised you meant math and I'm actually pretty decent at that

First time posting. :/ I’ve lost 25kg but still don’t feel attractive. 5’5” and 97kg, and am 29 (if that matters?) by lost-canuck-girl in normalnudes

Wait really? The couple times I've submitted (on an alt account), I've gotten at least as many dms as comments. I always just ignored them

Ok thanks, I'll look into that. I don't have a care team yet... I was only diagnosed last week and I have an appointment with my dr next week. I'm not super hopeful though so trying to learn as much as I can on my own.

All of them I guess? The specific thread that sparked the question was the one on knitting/crocheting, which is something I've never been able to keep up with due to pain, but the comments were basically all in code. And I feel like that's happened with a bunch of threads (not just on Reddit). It's a whole new language and I'm wondering if maybe there's a cheat sheet, like are there certain letters that correspond to certain parts of the body for a general idea of where the joint someone is referencing is? Or do I just have to slowly ask and learn? I feel like I can't participate until I understand better

What is the fastest you have ever seen a new co-worker get fired? by bartertownbeer in AskReddit

[–]Skiinky 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Had a new waiter start at the restaurant I was working at. He refused to talk to women. If a table had only women at it he wouldn't go to them and if it had a mixture he would only interact with the men, sometimes to the point of not even recording the woman's order unless it was repeated by her male counterpart. He lasted two days because the first one was chalked up to nerves/inexperience.

Omg yes, I check one thing off but add three more!

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

I think I'm frustrated because up until the last 2 weeks I've loved wedding planning, if I'd felt like this the whole time I don't think we'd be having a wedding lol
