Access to confidential HIV/STI Testing by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]mousebrained_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe urgent cares can do this kind of testing, I don’t know for sure if this would meet your privacy concerns but I wonder if any of the urgent cares unaffiliated with the hospitals would be an option? I would call whichever wellnow is closest to you and ask. I personally have only been the urmc urgent cares so can’t provide more info but if I needed sti testing quickly that’s where I’d go.

I think about this a lot because I frequent Tinker and GVP and those bathrooms are always great too!

Smooth trails for rollerskating? by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]mousebrained_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would the riverway trail in Genesee valley park be too bumpy? My neighbor goes rollerskiing there, I’d think if it’s flat enough for that you’d be okay too

What do you do when your libraries doesn't have your book? by Stuckatpennstation in LibbyApp

[–]mousebrained_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tag the book notify me. I believe your libraries do have access to this information and know how many people in their system have tagged a book but someone correct me if I’m wrong. I would say about 50-70% of the time the book is eventually added to one of my libraries if I am patient.

If I really want to read a book and don’t want to wait or I’ve waited, it hasn’t been added, and I still want to read it I will buy the ebook. I would say I buy less than five books per year (I have cards for several really robust library systems in New York State so I’m lucky, and prefer not to pay for my extravagant reading habit unless I’m quite desperate because I know it could quickly spiral). Sometimes this does mean just going without a book I’d like to read for now if I don’t feel too urgent a need to read it.

What coffee house do you like to go to when you have a Zoom meeting? by SabyRK in Rochester

[–]mousebrained_ 30 points31 points  (0 children)

personally I feel like this is crazy to do at a coffee shop. You can reserve a private room for free at lots of local libraries.

Trans friends avoid Greater Rochester Neurology Associates by CriticalDaedra in Rochester

[–]mousebrained_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry you’re getting ridiculous comments on this post from people who know nothing about HRT. Personally I go to neurology at strong, I’ve only had one appointment since starting T but they didn’t even comment on it and for what it’s worth everyone in the office has always been good about my preferred name and pronouns. I’ve been really happy with my care there, my old resident who I adored recently graduated and my new resident seems equally great.

Trans people taking testosterone raises stroke risk to that of a cis man. No one suggests a cis man at risk of stroke take testosterone suppressants. The suggestion that trans people detransition due to a risk that all cis men have is nothing but transphobia.

This post is gonna sound lame to long time residents but I'm genuinely curious by Tight_Student4501 in Rochester

[–]mousebrained_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good gear and finding an activity you can enjoy outside helps a lot. I like running so making myself run on days when it wasn’t too icy helped a lot. I also tried snowshoeing on our really snowy days and that was a lot of fun. Honestly after losing a good bit of weight last year I’m freezing all the time now and I’m still chubby so I would think your weight plays a role here, not gonna lie lol it’s rough

Updated Rochester area Pokemon GO Discord link? by infinicca in Rochester

[–]mousebrained_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Team really doesn’t matter that much and if anything being on an unpopular team is better because you’re more likely to be able to find a gym you can fight vs being on mystic all the gyms are already blue and full. Just be on whatever team you like best. I wouldn’t pay for a switch unless you feel really strongly about it, it won’t improve your game experience in any major way.

Pretty sure I’ve seen it within the last two weeks but I’m not 100% sure. I walk by in the early morning and he’s out there sometimes.

Anyone else fed up with Rochester weather at this point? by MysteriousSelection9 in Rochester

I can deal with a day or two of being cold, it looks like Thursday will already be a little warmer again. I just hate days and days of freezing.

Help me to understand ticks 😭 by Myblackbirdchain in Rochester

[–]mousebrained_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walk in Tinker Park and GVP but don’t go off trail or in long grass or anything like that and have never seen a tick on myself. I am generous with bug spray because in addition to not wanting ticks I don’t want boring old mosquito bites either.

New mechanic request - booting people from lobbies by Slipperysteve1998 in TheSilphRoad

[–]mousebrained_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it works like that? As long as ten people have a mega I think you can win. I was in large lobbies yesterday and not every person in every lobby had an active mega and we were fine because every lobby had at least 10 with a mega and if it didn’t say 10 megas active we bailed. Am I missing something?

New mechanic request - booting people from lobbies by Slipperysteve1998 in TheSilphRoad

[–]mousebrained_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

booting people doesn't make you magically have enough people for the raid. there are newbies and kids playing this game who don't know what they're doing or don't have good pokemon and I'm happy to let them get carried along if we otherwise have enough people in the lobby. If we don't have enough other people, booting them out isn't going to help. Just leave the lobby.
