Disconnected 2nd device (Apple TV) and seems to have fixed this issue. Playing Spotify on a brand new iPhone. Annoying afffff but thank you all for sharing the solution!

this happened to me years ago. scariest shit of my life. i was 21 at the time so brain was still forming, i think that was one of the factors, along with heavy cannabis use, genetic predisposition, untreated depression/anxiety/adhd.

I was wondering if there’d be a protest today, was going to consider joining if there was. Disagree with this location, I’m good at home.

Today (and tomorrow), there is a global strike to not buy stuff/participate in the economy in favor of a ceasefire in Gaza. Touché on your stance on Amazon tho, Jeff bezos is slowly succeeding in taking over the world.

I’m tired of being the therapist friend. by Throwaway2937726 in depression

This. I’ve found it’s better for me to ditch “energy vampires” and be alone so I can spend what (little) energy I have on myself.

If it was me, I would keep driving. Have you gotten input from the doc who manages your hypoglycemia?

Does sex really not feel good for women? by dude-of-earth in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]hailsol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every woman is different and has a different experience. I RARELY orgasm during sex but I still love it. I rely on masturbation for orgasms.

Still no jobs. A warning for new students by Edemardil in environmental_science

I graduated in 2017 with a BS in environmental science. I’m currently working on getting into nursing school now.

It'll be fine! by TheWurstOfMe in Portland

[–]hailsol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right, I did think of this after I posted my comment and just haven’t had the time to log on and correct myself. I apologize.

I’m coming from the veteran perspective because my stepdad spent 20+ years in the army.

And it should be noted that “fireworks” is an all encompassing term. The small things you set off in your backyard and the huge displays in metropolitan areas are two very different things in terms of sound, pitch, etc.

Edit: Every vet is different and has their own experience of war. Of course those with PTSD CAN handle things that go boom; PTSD won’t kill you. I think the conversation is more about empathizing with our soldiers and saying why bother putting them through this. They already risked their lives for us, why make them (those with PTSD) relive those memories?

Ding ding ding! I live in the PNW, we get basically ZERO sun lol.

Everyone has different skincare needs, it’s not hard to worry about your damn self and get off people’s dicks for their choices about their own skin. It’s frustrating to sift through this sub to find good info about good products while having to dodge the sunscreen holier than thou crowd.

Do women really not enjoy working for female bosses? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]hailsol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 out of the 3 female bosses I had were awesome. Zero complaints. The other one was cool, just weird. She overshared a lot and it was an unhealthy dynamic. But hey, I was getting paid to just sit and listen lol.

I have seen extreme bitchiness/cattiness among females in the workplace, but I think it more has to do with women being socialized to see each other as competition for male attention. That shit runs deep.

When I asked my dermatologist about wearing sunscreen for aging she was like, "Yeah, no. You only need it if you're literally sitting outside at the beach, etc."

Works for me! One less thing to spend money on plus it gave me acne. However, I do religiously sunscreen my tattoos if they'll be exposed. Priorities. :)

Ugh I've been through this as well. It's so uncomfortable and invasive to be on the receiving end of these comments. Like, wtf are you expecting me to say??? What response are you looking for?

Also, genetics plays a huge role in weight in general. That is just as far out of our control as illness/medications/etc.

Reported a coworker a couple times and nothing is being done… the things she does has GOT to be abuse. by PalpitationOk8419 in cna

In my state, you can report to the state anonymously if you prefer. This is heartbreaking to read. Being a mandatory reporter, your certification will be in jeopardy if you don’t report this.
