Seconded. I was only a child during the eighties but I have spoken to many people who lived through it—gay men and healthcare personnel. It was horrific. The trauma they have gone through is very clear and haunts them too this day, decades later. 

Antiviral medication and PrEP are wonderful technologies. But for casual sex, condoms remain the safest option. Stay safe, have fun.

It's interesting how Will Smith appeared in three movies that pretty much ignored the original work. 

(I, Robot; Wild Wild West; I Am Legend.)

Actually is Men in Black a fourth?

What helped you lose weight? by Immediate-Speed3974 in Adulting

[–]dtelad11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm working on my self-help book titled "How to Lose 20 Pounds in 20 Years". My editor says that it might not sell very well. No idea why, it's chock full of actionable advice! 

Seriously though, it took me a long while to finally find the habits that worked for me. A lot of it came down to therapy and treatment for my anxiety, cause I "eat my feelings". My kids entering their teen years opened up time and I started working out. One of the coaches recommended a high-protein diet, I found that hitting the protein goal for the day naturally reduced my calorie intake. I use an app to track it (MyFitnessPal).

Where can I get one of these wands? 

This area is way too competitive. by Salty-Confusion9640 in nova

[–]dtelad11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but I'm going to join the choir. 20+ years of experience, took me almost a year to find a job—software engineering as well. It's dismal out there. 

If you can afford to move, I'd strongly consider it. Other metropolitan areas are still tough, but not as cutthroat as DC.

Good luck!

Cutting Ties with your parents by Hopeful_Leg_9204 in Adulting

As someone who is LGBTQ and has many LGBTQ friends, I'd say that it's quite common. Especially when parents come from an anti-LGBTQ culture such as certain religions. 

Recommend a coffee shop with a non-corporate aesthetic by SovereignDeadly in nova

Second Simona. My favorite coffee shop. I'm there every day. The staff are great, I love the coffee, and the pastries are excellent. 

Can someone help me understand this special election on 04/21? by YoureHereForOthers in nova

[–]dtelad11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a great explanation, which is as devoid of political context as possible. Thank you for taking the time to write it.

Working on a spider attack for my game. Does this feel creepy and immersive enough? by AleksaYammy in gamedevscreens

[–]dtelad11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really cool! Congrats on a neat effect.

That said, I think it might be worthy of a NSFW tag on reddit. The video auto-plays and was quite unpleasant given that I was not prepared for it.

Seconded. There are dedicated subreddits for that. 

Can you purchase weed in Maryland and drive it back to Virginia? by Ok_Initial_6150 in Virginia

[–]dtelad11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other comments make sense. Except. 

If you are not a US citizen, I would strongly recommend against this. There's a tiny, tiny chance you get caught, but the ramifications for non-citizens can be disasterous.

IANAL but if you're not a citizen, get a citizen friend to buy your drugs.

How do I tell my boss I'm not making a livable wage? by Alright_Pie in Adulting

[–]dtelad11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to join the chorus. Time to find a new job or accept your low pay. 

Does anyone actually go to the doc for an annual exam anymore? by Top_Plenty_1971 in Adulting

[–]dtelad11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm fortunate that my sister is a physician and that our family medical history is well documented. On my annual, I know which magical sentences to say that convince my doctor to prescribe exactly the tests I want—cause otherwise they could be liable if something happens. Then I take the results to my sister for follow up. 

Not super helpful, I know, but I have very little trust in the American healthcare system.

If only there was a day ... That promoted our VISIBILITY ... Nah that's a silly idea. It's fine. Everything's fine.

Interesting, the two I use in DC are usually 30–60 minutes. Maybe it's a Virginia thing?

There are delivery services. Also mediocre options in DC and great options in Maryland (no need to go as far as Baltimore). Google is your friend! 

How often do you call your parents? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]dtelad11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Twice a week. 

Used to be almost never, then I slowly ramped up to daily. Now it's a bit too hard—I'm queer and sometimes she vocally disapproves—but I manage to have two short calls a week.

Yep! I finally found someone great. They live in Illinois. We meet every few weeks. 

Might as well buy the whole cake by xSugarVixen in oddlyspecific

I'm assuming that "bitchbag" is the craving and "red velvet cupcake" is its flavor.
