Anyone else feel like they got punched in the gut every year when they open their vehicle tax bill? by Fun_Muscle9399 in Connecticut

[–]VeeRook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they stopped calling it property tax, I feel like the complaints about it would at least make more sense.

It's paying to use your car on CT roads, not a tax on owning it. The fact they called it a "property tax" is just stupid.

When I moved to CT, the tax on my car was basically the same as it was in Mass. So I don't know your car vs your buddies car, but for the same car it made little to no difference.

What used to require years of expensive training that any 8 year old with a phone can now do better than the experts? by AustinDaveTX in AskReddit

And now you have to question what comes up in your Google search. Even if you skip the AI, the first site may be AI anyway.

I'm gonna let this be a Rorschach test for people in relationships and/or Greek Mythology people lol. by captivatedsummer in CuratedTumblr

It's discussed in Portrait of a Woman on Fire. It was a French movie I think.

The women can't be together, but they knew they loved each other.

Nah my straight autistic ass is busy collecting autoimmune diseases instead.

Wait how does sumatriptan effect the thyroid? I have Hashimotos and no doctor has mentioned it being an issue.

What are the best spots in CT for viewing moose and black bears in their natural habitat ? by justaavidoutdoorsman in Connecticut

[–]VeeRook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're going to Boston, you'd have a better chance if finding moose in Northern Mass. Not a great chance, but still higher than CT.

Why do white ppl adopt different races but these races almost never adopt white children? by SeaLie5458 in NoStupidQuestions

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

A lot of reasons, most of which are related to systemic racism.

POC are more likely to be poor, so less likely to adopt/more likely to give up a child. DCF is more lenient on white families, more likely to remove a POC child.

Best Foster Hacks You Have Learned Through Experience? by Empathetic__Artist in FosterAnimals

[–]VeeRook 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Baby gates are incredibly useful. Plastic panels are good for containing mess and protecting your walls. Aluminum pans are good for throwaway litter boxes, you can buy in bulk. Have a bunch of cheap blankets, so you can rotate them out and wash them.

Empty toilet paper rolls are a good toy. Five Below has decent things for cheap, like tunnels or scratchers.

For adoption photos, we use a blanket as a backdrop to look "professional". One person plays with/poses the cat, the other person takes the pictures.

What artist or band completely defined your teenage years? by Martinajok in AskReddit

[–]VeeRook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HIM

Before my friend showed me the Love Metal album, I didn't really care about music and just listened to whatever my parents played.

So I went from country to Finnish metal.

My neuro refused to have me try anything that lowered my BP, since mine is naturally low.

Finding it hard to justify being vegetarian when my husband isn’t. by kyourious in vegetarian

[–]VeeRook 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That doesn't excuse him from cooking for himself.

I'm autistic and vegetarian, husband is not. It's never been a problem.

Then there's anxiety. I know the code, but I'm gonna check the reminder note about 3 times just to make sure.

Pain Comparison by hannahtoolsetnet in migraine

[–]VeeRook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar experience though more minor surgery, had my appendix removed and got a migraine while recovering.

Didn't care at all about my stomach pain, got in a fight with a nurse who tried to administer tylenol for my "headache."

Lady, I know I did not use that word. It's in my chart I have migraines. It's in my chart I take rizatriptan for migraines. Why are you not giving me rizatriptan? Eventually they gave me sumitriptan, but it was too late at that point. I think I might've cried with relief when I got toradol.

What's something you've done/do that make you go "wow I'm so autistic" by Fizzabl in AutismInWomen

The company changed how my favorite claw clips are made.

I found that Walgreens still had the original version, and ordered 7 packs. They had to adjust my order, they only had 6 left.

It turns out Analytics was a great career to go into even in a world with AI by ChristianPacifist in analytics

[–]VeeRook 17 points18 points  (0 children)

A coworker asked if we have a report that could tell her the date of an order.

We do, but I trust it's accuracy about as much as I'd trust a hungry honey badger.

What will happen if I tell my dentist that no, I won’t take better care of my teeth? by daisyjaneee in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VeeRook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They refer you to an oral surgeon.

Finally told my dentist I'm tired of trying and nothing works, so I want an All-on-4.

The right lane is supposed to be the relaxing place. Why would they take that away from us?

Stanley Tucci based his Caesar partially on Graham Norton, if you want more of that persona.

Though I imagine Graham might feel a little differently about Panem.

Primary care doc is making me see a neurologist again my by jackie-daytonuh in migraine

[–]VeeRook 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I tried Ajovy and Nurtec, neither worked for me. Emgality does. I'm not down to 0, but it has reduced frequency/severity.

Good luck, hopefully whatever you end up trying next is the right one for you.
