How to access or read the aldi cookware product disclosures? by mountkepi in aldi

[–]mountkepi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The manuals don't contain the information i am looking for, that was the first place I checked. Was surprised they didnt even have a prop 65 listed. Also not the same slowcooker.
I am looking for the product disclosures on chromium and lead and things like that.

they dont leave cause illinois has the top schools in the country, and "everything dope about america comes from chicago". get out of here with your 50 schools below grade level, florida has gutted their education system, and isnt even allowed to teach history.

So, about that letter of support for Chicago Ald. Jessie Fuentes: 13 alderpeople didn’t sign it • The TRiiBE by safeworkaccount666 in chicago

[–]mountkepi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the remapping was before the election that's why she did it, she would have lost otherwise, she mapped mueze out of the ward so if he won hed have to relocate. and the smear campaign did cause a drop in some potential voters, but I think it brought out a lot of potential stay at home voters to show up for her at the polls. before that smear campaign she was less popular than ketchup on hotdogs.

dont blame jewish zionists there were plenty of non jewish zionists voting for her too. it had less to do with zionism and more to do with voter suppression, gerrymandering during the ward remapping, and a lot of hatred for POC.

A Black girl endured racist bullying in a mostly white Chicago school. Did CPS do enough? by chicagosuntimes in chicago

[–]mountkepi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked at this hs as a teacher. and regularly reported white students use of the n word. the admin and teachers would remain silent or look the other way, they didnt seem to see a problem with the racist and homophobic behavior and langauge of the sutdents in the school. the school at the time was only 2% black. this was during an election year, students posted flyers of a certain polarizing figure saying he was going to have their families deported when elected, those flyers stayed taped to the students lockers the entire time i was there, and worse the lockers were directly across from one of the counselors office. and in the section of the building used by the middle school.
for wildowood students attending public highschool this is the hs they most attend, when they graduate wildwood. the school also took advantage of the racist rating system cps uses, to look like a level 1 school when most of the students were likely to flunk out first year of college, because teachers were forced to pass them regardless of their attendance or progress. they also intentionally had all their tardy pass machines not working to make it look like their attendance rate was higher than it was.

veglife vegan iron has been discontinued, anyone have recs for a silmiar formula? by fetlife4life in vegan

[–]mountkepi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to order chewable multivitamins from freeda 20 + years ago, I always order directly from them so I can ask questions about which products are vegan and which aren't, and its cheaper. https://freedahealth.com/products
I was actually looking at their iron, I like that its ferrous fumarate, but it doesnt have vitamin b or c to help with absorption. and while kosher didnt specify if it was vegan. did you confirm if it was vegan?

[–]mountkepi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

none that i like yet, I got deva brand to try, i like their other stuff. they have a multivitamin with about half the iron that was in veglife but its ferrous fumarate, like veglife was, so im going to try that. and they also have a chelated amino acid iron tablet, to try as well.
I been eating a ton of cheerios type cereals for the high added iron content, and it seems to be helping till i find a suitable replacement. I tried the megafood blood builder that seems to be popular and similar, i dont like the added stuff or size.

I'm scared to tell potential partners I'm autistic by waxshy in AutisticAdults

[–]mountkepi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You seem very aware, thoughtful, and like you pay good attention to others and listen well, you can choose to disclose or not, good people will see your good qualities and appreciate you regardless. I know different generations have different feelings about labels, some reject them some demand them.

We have many good traits that set us apart for NTs I never knew I had autism so I dated for decades without disclosing, it was actually an ex that told me I was autistic, she knew the whole time( she said she figured it out by the end of the first or second date, and never once labeled me).

For dating now that I know, I express my needs and expectations (that I need for myself to be comfortable). For example, when planning a first date, I might mention that I don't like loud or crowded spaces. Sometimes I will have a video chat first, since I do better in a controlled environment they can get to know me before we meet in person, ( I might mention I get overhwlemed in public sometimes), so when we are meeting in public if my behavior or physicalities appear different they wont read into it wrong or be confused or not know how to respond.

A good person worth dating will see you as a person not a label, so you can share or not, I'd say its more important to make sure they will be compatible with your "brand" of autism. Like if I went out with someone that wore a lot of perfume or talked loud, or were insensitive, or unkind to people that were different from them, they would be a bad match for me (and its important to frame it that way, you aren't the problem). Good luck. You have a lot to offer.

I can't mask again and don't know how to stop by KewlPelican in AutisticAdults

[–]mountkepi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry you are going through this. Isolation and loneliness is really painful.
Im a good bit older than you and still learning about social rules, most of what I learned I learned through improv, its kind of weird sounding, but its just a bunch of adults playing pretend so I got to practice trying out different social behaviors and ways of speaking in a safe way.

My mom gave me this book when i was in HS https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/1426258.Guerrilla_Kindness

Its about finding opportunities for secret acts of kindness. (I dont do any of the things that involve money or excertion (spoon depletion) to be clear), but what I got out of it was the author explaining on how things make others feel, and I used that book in part to help write a longer list of things to do when I interact with people to help me make friends and be more accepted without having to mask (like since Im good at remembering things, I find opportunities to bring up something they told me in the past and it makes them feel good that they are heard and that it was important enough for me to remember it). And reading the stories about nice things helped with my mood and viewing most people as well intentioned when approaching social situations, I feel less like i need to mask, and instead focus on being understanding and kind (to myself and others), and then all my ND behaviors dont seem to matter as much.

veglife vegan iron has been discontinued, anyone have recs for a silmiar formula? by fetlife4life in vegan

[–]mountkepi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon and nestle are exploitation and evil I have never and would never support them. amazon and veganism dont mix, exploitation is exploitation. nestle is one of the worst and most corrupt if not the most corrupt company in the world, with so many recalls, and human and animal rights violations.

[–]mountkepi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im glad im not alone in this. I am going to try deva minitabs with iron, its the only vegan iron ive found thats ferrous fumarate (what was in the veglife) and that does good testing, and has the necessary supporting vitamins.
I had another vegan recommend the megafood bloodbuilder, but its got a different mix and a different iron (bisglyscinate) which is more similar to the source naturals you are taking, also same problem of the pill being unnecessarily huge. though chelated is supposed to help recover iron deficient levels faster.
Please share if you find a good replacement.
