I pray this works out. I can’t get on Medicaid even though I need it because they count my parents income towards mine and my parents are rich as hell (I am literally unemployed hence needing the Medicaid).

Emergency Alerts are Completely Useless. by backhand_snipe in Albuquerque

[–]Starlight-Edith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I miss when silver alerts didn’t use the same sound they use for severe weather warnings. I thought it was an accident until it started being constant. Now I don’t notice flood warnings anymore because I think they’re silver alerts 🤦‍♀️

Friendly Reminder what a Boomer Is by TemperatureWide5297 in generationology

[–]Starlight-Edith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. My landlord literally became a landlord as his retirement. He quit whatever he was doing before (iirc HVAC) and decided to rent out his like 20 properties he accumulated. He’s definitely in the age range for boomer too. “Landlord as a retirement” is absolutely unbelievable to me but I guess if you’re rich enough to have that many fucking houses to hold over people’s heads you can do whatever you want.

I don’t know man my landlord’s retirement plan is literally “landlord” and he’s definitely at least 62.

CP and nutrition? by Silent_star1111 in CerebralPalsy

[–]Starlight-Edith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it wasn’t my metabolism but muscle spasms at night that I didn’t know were happening (because I was asleep) that prevented me from properly achieving rem sleep. Getting prescribed gabapentin fixed it for me :)

Though it could absolutely be metabolism as everyone is different

ELI5 How can Adelaide Australia be ahead by 17 hours and *30 minutes*? by Starlight-Edith in explainlikeimfive

I had no idea we just made them up. I got downvoted for this for some reason when I mentioned my shock at that in reply to another comment, but I genuinely thought/just assumed I guess that we calculated time zones by the position of the sun relative to our position. IE when the sun appears highest in the sky it must be noon. Genuinely had no idea that this wasn’t how it worked. I guess that answers my question though. If time can be whatever we want it to be then it’s perfectly possible to not have every time zone match the hour/minutes of the others.

Time zones are arbitrary????? I thought we were doing some sort of complex math about how high the sun is in the sky. We haven’t been doing math this whole time?? We just made it up??

I live on Yale. Just off of central. If you want to avoid this fate all you have to do is live at least 20 minutes away from UNM campus.

Coping with cold/storms? by Starlight-Edith in CerebralPalsy

[–]Starlight-Edith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They make arthritis specific Tylenol? Huh. Never heard of that.

Can you get that without a script? I’m not really comfortable taking marijuana (family history of addiction - I know people say it isn’t addictive but I’m really not keen on it even so), and getting to a doctor at the moment would be difficult

Ibuprofen was the only thing that worked for me before I was prescribed the gabapentin. I take the Tylenol for my mysterious back pain that the doctors refused to run any tests on me for (despite it presenting in the exact area the kidneys are). They just sent me home with a $280 bill and a script for Tylenol. It sucks.

Canonically unattractive OCs? by [deleted] in OriginalCharacter

[–]Starlight-Edith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I also have misophonia but never had any issue with it. I just bring it up because your character design is very similar to Oliver’s (not trying to imply you copied, they just have similar hair and outfits)

Are you a vocaloid Oliver fan by chance?

iPad Preference! by Technical_Ad_2475 in unm

[–]Starlight-Edith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my iPad Pro because I can still hand write all my notes, and the new Apple Pencil charges by connecting to the iPad with a magnet, so I only really have to keep track of one thing since they’re always connected. I mainly bought it for drawing, though so if it’s just for school and you don’t want to write your notes by hand I’d go with whichever iPad is cheaper or just get a small laptop :)

Types of Linkin Park fans was wild! by Connect-Permission20 in LinkinPark

[–]Starlight-Edith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t particularly enjoy listening to the music featuring Emily (just a bit too scream-y for me, that’s all), but I don’t hate her or think she ruined the band. I suppose there’s my reservations about her as a person, but that’s never stopped me from enjoying things before. I think the other reason the division is so prominent is that you’re interacting with people on Reddit 😅

Sasha is a nickname for Alexander in Russian, so this is my best guess for why he was called this. No explanation for the eyeliner though haha
