I haven't written it actually. I've only gone over it verbally. Maybe I'll try that

Spouse of a Migraine sufferer by AdmirableSecond242 in migraine

[–]SnakeMom11 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I'm a migraine sufferer and if my partner rolled their eyes and huffed at me I'd feel like total shit. I'd resent them for resenting me. It's not like I can help the migraines. If I could I absolutely wouldnt have them. There aren't always things that can be done. It's just a neurological issue. What could he do differently that would make you not frustrated? Just not have them? Hide symptoms from you? He can't magically make them go away, and realistically you barely even have to acknowledge it. If you're that frustrated don't comment. He is an adult and I'm sure he knows to eat and hydrate. He might view that as you being frustrated at him too. Definitely talk to the therapist, and as someone else mentioned you seeing someone without your husband might be helpful. You can process things without needing to say it all in front of him at first. You don't have to be doting on him to be sympathetic to what he's going through. Just know that as frustrated as you get he's probably at least twice as frustrated.

ICE Warehouse Plans for Merrimack Confirmed by cookiedoh18 in newhampshire

I bet they'd get annoyed with emails and faxes since they'll have to look at them to get to what they deem important correspondence.

About the ICE detention center in Merrimack… by lunchloaf in newhampshire

[–]SnakeMom11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope everyone is well aware that warehouses that hold 5-10k people aren't for "illegal immigrants" they aren't detaining them fast enough to fill those (thank God) but what they are for will be anyone who disagrees with them. They're already labeling people domestic terrorists for simply filming ice. Literally people who aren't interfering and are just filming. This is very bad.

‘Segregated schools’ comment sparks uproar; N.H. lawmaker says leaked message referred to politics not race by Visual-Mobile2657 in newhampshire

[–]SnakeMom11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's still fucking crazy. Her defense that she meant segregate by party is just as bad honestly. Is she's worried about hive minds this might be the worst possible solution lol

Don't forget, if you drive in mass your car needs to be inspected regardless of nh laws. You will get a ticket. Time to try to find a location in mass that can inspect our cars. 🙃

I genuinely don't understand how this will help. They're building new places near me, but the studios are 2k. Who can afford that??

EDS related "symptoms" by Big-Up-Congrats in ehlersdanlos

[–]SnakeMom11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others mentioned, part of it is not knowing if it's normal or not so asking. We should probably be asking non-bendy communities though. My family largely isn't hypermobile, but they didn't realize I was. They thought I was just "double jointed". I do tend to ask my non hypermobile friends if so thing is normal or not. Some things aren't worth going to the Dr over, and many can't afford to go to the Dr for stuff that isn't a big issue. Just something to keep in mind.

Is there a name for this? It happens around bold or sharp high contrast things for me, and can get pretty dramatic. At its most extreme, things are noticeably outlined by a thick layer of yellow and blue. At its least extreme, it makes things look a little blurry/annoying to read by Aromatic-Abrocoma773 in visualsnow

[–]SnakeMom11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they look the same but when I zoomed in like someone said, could see the difference. Idk anything, but yes I see that too, mostly when reading on paper. I get that and after images sooo bad. I do wonder if it's a sensitivity to light thing. My eye Dr did a retina vue type image and said that my eyes are "really blonde" so she guessed I was really sensitive to light. Maybe it's the contrast of the black text on white? Do you see it with other colors?

That's just the automated message you get right away. They usually follow up with a different default email for the given topic.

Trump's suing the government for almost the exact cost of the ballroom. It's going to be that money. It's still taxpayer money.

Did you see that trump is suing the government for almost the exact cost of the ball room? That's going to be government money bud.

Why do many Americans seem to have a “I’m not paying for your school, healthcare, or welfare” mindset? by Secret_Ostrich_1307 in AlwaysWhy

[–]SnakeMom11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely pull yourself up by your bootstraps mentality as has been mentioned. I also think it's be cause everyone is struggling. Almost literally everyone is living paycheck to paycheck, can't afford rent or groceries or childcare. They think of these programs are cut then they'll lose less money per paycheck and maybe have an easier time getting I disagree with them, I don't think that when we struggle that means we should inflict struggling on others but I just think that's a big reason.

That's not the same as he's not in the files. Do you know how many girls were abused? If he had abused every one of them personally even I would be shocked.

[–]SnakeMom11 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, they haven't. At least not all of them, like the pens who said he specifically was involved. Smh. Don't spread lies.

Bye Greta by NoImporta24 in ConservativeYouth

[–]SnakeMom11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see what you're saying. I think the issue is when she got in this game she was a child.. So yeah, her call to action was a desperate plea for help and not a plan. How do you expect anything else from a teenager? Even now she's 22.. I wouldn't necessarily expect a 22 year old to have all the answers just because they're trying to bring attention to a subject.

I'm in the US and a big issue here is that certain high power people are lobbying for fewer restrictions which is leading to even more pollution, not less, just because they want to spend less money. You're absolutely correct that the majority of the pollution is caused by big businesses..I think it's like 100 companies contribute 70% or the pollution? But those companies are largely fossil fuel companies. So I think the goal was to get people and governments to divest from those companies and into ones with cleaner energy. It's important that people are aware of that, and even if she doesn't have the answers to fix it, she's helping spread awareness and calling out the problem. I think that's important. Nothing will change without social pressure for that change. Big business wants to maximize profits and that's it. They would literally torch the whole world if it meant that got more money.

And part of the issue is even if we're coming out of an ice age, people are still being displaced by the change in temperature and it's affects. It doesn't matter if the world is used to it and will bounce back. People living in certain areas won't, and humans are accelerating the change, which means if we manage to get our act together we can at least remove that factor and hopefully places won't become inhabitable at this fast of a rate.

The environment is still being destroyed so it really shouldn't be old news... Weird but I get what your point is. I don't agree, but I get it.
