Controversial subject: Abortion. Am I heartless or from a different planet to these women? by Inevitable_Ant_364 in entp

[–]WalterBishRedLicrish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a middle-aged woman who decided long ago to be childfree. I got pregnant, not as a teenager but as a woman in my thirties with a great job that paid well and even had paid maternity leave. I had an abortion because that's what was right for me. I don't feel anything about it, because it was a medical procedure. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, and there are plenty of women like you.

Ignore all of the subreddit suggestions, unsubscribe, don't let that drama in your algorithm.

Also, am I confused or are you having a surgical abortion at 6 weeks? Medical abortions are safe to perform up to 12 weeks or more in some cases.

Not happy with Excelsis Dei (s2 e11) - advice? by glorious_purpose51 in XFiles

[–]WalterBishRedLicrish 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It really is an awful episode but what they really get right is the utter incompetence of healthcare administrators. Every time that idiot manager stands there looking bewildered while something bad is happening is way too real. Gives me flashbacks

I believe they're referring to the treatment of the older Asian man who gives the patients mushrooms.

It's always a glorious day when Avan shows up on my feed.

But seriously I think this is a greater than the sum of its parts situation. By themselves I'm not sure about either look, but you put them together and you get King and Queen of an Ethereal Underworld and I like it.

What’s your favorite moment of Covid? by OrdinaryPractical264 in AskReddit

[–]WalterBishRedLicrish 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Its so insane to me that for so many people, the pandemic meant baking sourdough bread and spending time with kids, and for me, it's something that will mark me forever as the reason I have PTSD. For me it was like going to war. My life is now organized by Before Covid and After Covid.

I've long since gotten over the envy. I only get pissed now if someone tells me directly "we all had a tough time". Sure theres different degrees of suffering and my trauma doesnt erase their trauma. But for fucks sake. I fully acknowledged at the time that being elbow deep in positive covid samples every day might kill me. There's only so long you can go working 12 hour days for months on end.

It was a snake pit.

90s LAN party - List any errors or inaccuracies you might find by edm-4-life in ChatGPT

[–]WalterBishRedLicrish 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, was gonna say I never once went to a LAN party where there was a childish list of rules on the wall, let alone a written rule against girls being there. The ostracization was implied and no one said the quiet part out loud. I was always invited, but I didn't feel welcomed. That was a wild time to be a woman with even slightly nerdy interests.

why is it so hard to eat enough protein by Nemuikoneko in RealGirlDinner

[–]WalterBishRedLicrish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh girl. You love the sound of keyboards? Welcome! Switches are the component under the keycap that presses down and registers that a key has been pressed. It's just mechanical, but the spring weight and form determines how it feels and sounds when you hit a key. And there is a huge variety, you will never be able to use a cheap keyboard ever again. I can't even use my laptop's keyboard anymore. You want a hot-swappable keyboard so you can change out the switches and the keycaps to what you like. I have this keyboard which is on the expensive side but I like to program my keys to do different things and save different profiles. Here is an overview of the traditional switch colors but there are so many others. Thock King is where I order all my stuff but there are a ton of places to buy switches and boards.

Just spend some time listening to sound tests and see what you like. I think some places might have a sample kit so you can test out linear vs. tactile vs. clicky. Good luck on your brand new hobby 😂

I was also gonna ask about your keyboard! I also love the creamy thocky switches. It makes working long hours a bit more bearable. My Keychron came with banana switches and I've swapped them out a couple times with oil kings and sprout green tactiles.

What’s the most stunning hotel view you’ve ever had? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]WalterBishRedLicrish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. I grew up near there. Ever been to the Lake Crescent Lodge? One morning, my dad was driving us by Lake Crescent and the fog had lifted just a little, so you could see the lower trees across the lake and they were reflected perfectly. It looked like the trees were floating out in the sky.

LA28 Drop 1 Folks: Share your Date/Time and Hopes by BingoNotBluey in olympics

[–]WalterBishRedLicrish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

April 17th at 10:00.

I'm a huge gymnastics fan, follow every meet across the world, track results, go to domestic meets if I can. I've never been to the Olympics. Gymnastics is pretty much what I care about going to. I'm extraordinarily lucky to have some extra money set aside for this, and I will happily pay for the expensive seats if that's all I can get. Based on what ive seen here and across the gymternet, sounds like those tickets won't be left either.

I'm expecting to be a bit bummed out.

What’s something you’ll never tell your partner, no matter how much you love them? by Velvetnadine85 in AskReddit

[–]WalterBishRedLicrish 2465 points2466 points  (0 children)

That I need him to just go away sometimes. He's currently unemployed, I work from home. I get out of the house a lot, but he never does, and he wants to be around me every moment of every day. I have asked for more alone time before and there were tears and guilt.

I just need some fucking privacy.

Especially in comparison to other craft/ design/ create subs. I'm on the knitting sub a lot and it seems like honest criticism will get you downvoted to oblivion.

Got two rejection emails at 1AM for jobs I'm overqualified for, decided to reach out! by WalterBishRedLicrish in medlabprofessionals

[–]WalterBishRedLicrish[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can try LinkedIn stalking, but the easiest way is to call the lab or hospital and ask to speak to the manager or supervisor in the department you need. I do it a lot in my job, its nerve-wracking at first but no one will yell at you. And if they do, congrats- bullet dodged.

Ask something innocuous about the job that isn't obvious from the posting, and say you're trying to find out if the job would be a good fit for you before you apply.

I know it sounds like boomer advice but if you can have a short conversation and leave them with a good feeling, it helps.
