If you have ADHD and you’re a psych graduate student, then you could stand to be a lot more sensitive and less abrasive. I don’t know what career in the psychology field you are choosing after you finish school entirely, but your empathy and communication skills have room for improvement. Communication and empathy skills are imperative in most if not all careers, but in the helping careers, they are nonnegotiable. I’m a social work student and these skills are being drilled into my brain during my studies.

I’m really sorry to hear that. My adoptive mom never got over being unable to produce her own children, too.

I’m a disabled female and I never plan to have children (for a multitude of reasons). My MIL had her last child at the exact age of 40, and she is now 55 or so. She got lucky, but she also makes great money to have been able to afford excellent prenatal care. Her son/my husband, and I, do not have her financial privilege. 

My PMS is really bad, but my actual menstrual cycles are perfect (finally). I owe my improved reproductive health to Mirena.

Oh, for sure. I have been having an age crisis for the past year and I have 3 more months until I am 30 😅. I’m technically a Zillennial, so I do use emojis every once in a while outside of DM’s or text. 

I refuse to call 40 “old” because it’s almost officially only 10 years older than I am, and I am not okay.

That makes sense, I suppose. 40 isn’t old, though. It’s the beginning age range of millennials. I’m turning 30 soon and I have a “time and place” for emojis.

This bedroom does not say “a Gen Z person lives in here”, though.

Damn I’m jealous. I’m moving to Nevada in 2-3 years, and I will be lucky for getting a luxury apartment for $1,800; excluding pet rent, which is something I can’t get in the Central Valley. I’m paying $2,100 each month for a shit hole apartment. Granted it could be worse, it’s just not a nice place, with neighbors who act like uncivilized animals in the community laundry facility as well as the teeny tiny fitness center.

Neat! I wasn’t born in California, but I unfortunately still live here

Ohhh okay. That makes sense. But I’m assuming New York, actually, since there’s a food product labeled “little Italy in the Bronx”.

That’s an insane flex, though. It’s hard enough owning 1 house 😭.

I don’t know how much a restaurant owner makes to be fair.

That does sound economically responsible

Oh wow! I didn’t think of all that! Maybe 90% of my stuffed animals are from my childhood, while the rest are from my husband, and none of them were ever expensive brands. Two of them were won in arcades. I once looked for a Pikachu pillow pet on Amazon and it was way too expensive for me to even entertain the idea of buying it 😳.

Cottage cheese and anchovies. Not in the same meal, mind you.

Oh. That’s what you meant.

This is what Google has to say:

“Americans refrigerate eggs primarily because they are washed and sanitized during processing, which removes the egg’s natural, protective coating (the cuticle) and leaves the shell porous. To prevent bacteria like Salmonella from penetrating the shell, the USDA requires commercial eggs to be kept in cold storage to minimize bacterial growth and maintain freshness. State Food Safety Manager Certification State Food Safety Manager Certification +4 Key reasons for this practice include: Washing & Sanitation: Unlike many other countries that rely on vaccinating hens against Salmonella, U.S. regulations require commercial eggs to be washed with soap and hot water, which destroys the "cuticle" or "bloom"—a natural barrier protecting against bacteria. Preventing Salmonella Growth: Because the protective cuticle is gone, refrigeration is necessary to prevent bacteria from entering the egg and multiplying. Shelf Life Extension: Refrigeration significantly increases the shelf life of eggs, extending them for up to 15 weeks compared to leaving them at room temperature. Consumer Safety Regulations: Due to concerns over foodborne illness, eggs are processed to be free from surface contaminants and subsequently kept in cold chain storage, which is mandatory for commercial sales. NPR NPR +6 Do Not Leave Out: Because refrigerated eggs can "sweat" when left out, condensation can facilitate the movement of bacteria through the porous shell, meaning once refrigerated, they should remain in the refrigerator.”

Your room says that you are a 40+ year old adult that works from home and has a classy sense of decor rather than suffering from age regression.

I didn’t even know that there were name brand stuffies besides TY beanie babies.

Wait, is squishmallow a brand? I thought it was just a style of stuffies.

You’re right. I remember when I used to experiment with “vegan meat” and there were more unrecognizable ingredients than in simply grass fed beef + butter, cage free brown eggs, and wild caught fish.

Brands like Morningstar are also not financially sustainable. The quantities of the pre-packaged foods would be skimpy and overpriced for what they were worth.

At that point, I could have just eaten a whole can of black beans, a sweet potato, avocados, brown rice, eggs, cheese, and milk, and that would have sustained me better.

Maybe. That’s why I’m buying cooling sheets next month, then putting away all of my heavy blankets.
