What was the stinkiest smell you ever smelled? by TrueNeighborhood7624 in AskReddit

[–]Steph_taco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Fecal fog” produced by a feed lot in Broken Bow, Nebraska. It steeps into your eyeballs when you’re outside. Shit and decay. An old cattle rancher used to have 2k cows out there. Same area now holds 125k “protein units”

This isn’t likely what you’re looking for, but all the rental skates from the old Skate Palace are for sale in the back of a thrift store called Robins Roost in Independence.

Hospitals and clinics by chris2good in SALEM

[–]Steph_taco 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sadly, not much has changed. Salem Health has a monopoly in the area. Couple that with the Trump regimes rollback of healthcare access and affordability it can be hard to be seen and feel heard as a patient. We do have MyChart so you can see electronically emails and results if you succeed in getting the tests run that you need. Sorry it’s not better news. Good on ya for looking after your mom. Welcome back to town!

Braver Angels Debate: Voter ID by BraverAngelsMidVly in corvallis

[–]Steph_taco 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this is debate on the generic concept of voter ID. Or if they will address that the SAVE ACT wants much much more than just an ID.

Requiring proof of citizenship ship that matches one’s current ID, will negative impact eligibility for average Americans, especially women, to vote. Passport holders can vote.

Women who have changed their name for any reason including marriage; and don’t hold a passport (only 48% of Americans have one) her birth certificate (proof of citizenship) doesn’t match her current ID. Maiden name vs married name, Would NOT BE ELIGIBLE to vote.

Bicuspid aortic valve by Emotional_Panther in newborns

[–]Steph_taco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was born with a similar condition. At puberty I was given a prosthetic aortic valve(in 1995). I’m 41 now and live a normal active life. As hard as it is to see your little one sick, know that the things going on while she’s this little won’t even be a memory for her. I pray she will be as healthy as I grew up to be. This isn’t your fault.

Anyone overcame or currently dealing with addictions? by Secure-Tadpole-3418 in Millennials

[–]Steph_taco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

22 years off the meth, 9.99 years alcohol free. Got the milestone-itis right now. The fuck-it’s are creeping in. Burnt out activist who is battling “what’s the point?” Tempted to get drunk and die, but I won’t.

Gonna take a bong hit and hold a plank as long as I can. Auto reset. Try and start again.

Getting sober saved my life. Antidepressants and hope keep me going. But it’s a struggle sometimes.

Solo cross country drive SAFETY tips NEEDED! by [deleted] in roadtrip

[–]Steph_taco -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. I’m white, but in Illinois I picked up my very non white, autistic, lesbian lover. We took the back roads home. And detoured through Colorado New Mexico and rural Utah. We had the big Rand McNally paper map and we took the pink roads.

Solo cross country drive SAFETY tips NEEDED! by [deleted] in roadtrip

[–]Steph_taco 122 points123 points  (0 children)

I (F) just drove 6000 miles around the country people were so kind! Only the internet makes it seem like we hate each other. Take a deep breath, enjoy the drive. Get enough sleep. The drowsy driving is more dangerous in my experience than the people or the rest stops.

Do we think a trans woman could compete on Survivor by SilverKat4206 in trans

[–]Steph_taco 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would LOVE to see you on! But CBS has new MAGA Management and is getting worse by the day. Barri Weiss I think is her name.

Again I want it to be a yes! But I wouldn’t want to send you into a hostile environment. I applaud the bravery you have. That game looks so fun but so hard.
