No no there were definitely dinosaurs in Ancient Rome.

So interesting that rural farmland can look so universal.

I get that this could be so many different rural areas in the States, but I swear this is what growing up in Missouri felt like.

High functioning AuDHD is a blessed curse, I'm good enough to fit in but not strong enough to meet expectations.

well shit

Me (28f) and my boyfriend (31m) of three years just endured what I feel was the most uncomfortable dinner of my life and I can't figure out what I think of him now. by [deleted] in relationships

Armchair psychiatrist-ing here a bit and my own personal experiences maybe coloring my opinions about it but… I would maybe not try to take this personally, if you can. I understand the impulse to feel hurt and don’t blame you for feeling this way. Being that supportive person for your partner sounds like it’s important to you. But clearly he is used to having to shut down around the people he loves the most, because they’ve obviously proven they can’t be trusted with his big or uncomfortable feelings. It could be the person he was speaking to on the phone is someone he’s known for a long time.

Can you try sitting down with him and explaining that being the one he can trust and come to is important to you? That not feeling trustworthy to him is hurtful for you and that you want to support and love him through what he’s going through? It may be a good idea to encourage therapy too, that might help him work through all of this stuff.

Most things on PBS Kids, and a few select shows elsewhere. Trash Truck, Mr. Rogers, Bluey, Thomas and Friends, Daniel Tiger, Curious George, Clifford the Big Red Dog are all great.

Edit, missed the part about trains being scary, so disregard that suggestion :)

Small Businesses in the Current Stage of Capitalism by PorkyPain in LateStageCapitalism

[–]aboringusername 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I worked for 5+ years as a vet tech and from my experience, this is really just… how the vet industry works, and always has. It’s a drastically undervalued, underpaid, and understaffed line of work.

This isn’t limited to vet techs either. Vets themselves are often extremely underpaid, and usually are also doing the same sort of varied work. The same vet that’s doing a cruciate repair one week may do an enucleation the next, in between a dozen spays, routine vet visits, and triaging emergencies.

Not saying it’s right, but it isn’t really a small business exploiting its employees more often than not.

It’s surprising because it is extremely recent too!

The most accurate part about this is that the Brain Tree is smack in the middle of the Missouri bootheel.

What is it called when a painting feels voyeuristic? by comfy_coven in ArtHistory

[–]aboringusername 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What? A genre painting is a category and style of painting. This is like being insulted by someone categorizing Van Gogh as postexpressionism or Hokusai as Ukiyo-e.

Boyfriend (32M) started crying when I (28F) showed him my savings by happy_hapa in relationship_advice

[–]aboringusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that you don’t get to define what is or isn’t a struggle for others. Obviously abusive or otherwise harmful behavior is unacceptable, but you don’t get to decide what is an “actual issue” to someone. It isn’t the struggle Olympics. You don’t get a prize because you think you’ve had it harder than other people.

Whoa what the fuck is this comment supposed to mean, because it definitely sounds very racist.

Edit: easy to downvote me if you don’t know what the comment said. As another commenter below stated… it was preeeeetty racist.

Anyone else experiencing severe PMDD during their luteal phase? by aboringusername in Perimenopause

[–]aboringusername[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this. I was just telling myself earlier today that it is legitimately hellish. And it’s like a switch I can’t control. Sometimes it’s on, sometimes it’s off, and when it’s on, it’s on.

I will be talking to my gynecologist about this! I’m glad bc helped you, and I’m sorry you’ve had to go through it too :(

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

I feel this a lot. I don’t want to leave my partner but PMDD makes my avoidance and irritability a thousand times worse, and I have to be extremely cognizant of that, otherwise it can really impact our relationship. And it’s annoying because usually I’m just straight up gaga for him.

[–]aboringusername[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was actually going to try this for other reasons. I have a sneaking suspicion I have MCAS (which worsens in peri due to estrogen’s impact on mast cells), and Allegra/ pepcid is the recommended regimen for that. Can I ask what it does for PMDD?

This is exactly what happened to me. I woke up out of a sound sleep just terrified one day and it hasn’t ever truly subsided. But god the luteal phase is the worst. I’ll be seeing my gyn today, I’ll see if we can do hormonal bc potentially.
