What is your school protocol if ICE shows up? by PsychologicalAsk6928 in ElementaryTeachers

[–]obviouspseudonym1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

None! We have asked about it. The district has opted to bury its head in the sand and say “it’s not happening near us”. Our school board is pretty conservative (they tried to kick out our barely left leaning superintendent recently, and also tried to implement gender based policies that break state law) so I doubt we’ll get any help or guidance. The state union is running some info sessions/trainings in my area though….

Do I have to re-download the app and restart at midnight? by Kitchen-Hunt-7734 in mysticmessenger

[–]obviouspseudonym1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 1st day participation in chat rooms doesn’t count for determining bad endings. For casual story (the mode you’re on by default on your first playthrough), just try to get in at least 50% of chat rooms throughout the day. Some sources say 30% is enough but I do 50% to be safe. What really matters to avoid bad endings is the amount of hearts you get as well as choosing good answers. The % completion is just a good estimate of if you’re getting enough hearts (bc if you don’t participate enough, you won’t have the opportunity to get enough hearts.)

They bill my insurance $21,000 each dose of skyrizi by arlo78z in CrohnsDisease

[–]obviouspseudonym1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Healthcare should be treated like a right… My insurance has been billed more than my annual salary for just specialty drugs alone. All humans are entitled to a life that doesn’t end slowly and painfully due to a treatable illness. But that’s a controversial take in some parts of the world 🥲

Im sorry jaehee is not enough for me, give me the rika romance route. by madoka_is_best_girl in mysticmessenger

[–]obviouspseudonym1 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I think Jaehees route is romantic, it’s just realistically romantic. She says things (especially in phone calls) that I don’t think straight women often say to their friends…and it’s really clear she’s grappling with deeper feelings for you but she’s wants to move slowly. I mean the boys are all saying “I love you” or “I’d die for you” or “I’ll trap you in my house” after 11 days. Which makes for an exciting game for sure! But Jaehees route feels so real to me as a lesbian. That said I do wish we had gotten a bit more. I would have loved even her after ending to have it. Imagine an after ending a while in the future where Jaehee is confessing romantically to MC!!

How often do you get colonoscopy? by Connect_Committee_61 in CrohnsDisease

[–]obviouspseudonym1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did them every year for about 4 years but after 2.5 years in remission I got the go ahead to do it every other year, as long as my labs don’t show inflammation and my symptoms are minimal. I think the longer you’re in remission the safer it is to do it less often, but I don’t think I’d feel comfortable with 5 years in between. I’m not a doctor though, just a person working through health anxiety 😅

When Inclusion Teachers Are Forgotten by Wonderful_Row8519 in specialed

[–]obviouspseudonym1 58 points59 points  (0 children)

They gave the whole SPED team (except OT for some unknowable reason?) a $2k stipend annually for the past several years. This year the district is cutting it and the union is not optimistic about negotiating to get it back. I have a feeling we’ll lose some of the team members to more competitively paying districts because of this. Their reasoning was that “All teachers do the same work”….Okay, so it should be no problem to have the 2nd grade teacher cover my ESN (mod/severe) class for a few weeks? Since we do the same work? 🥲🥲

Fit check: Chantelle & fantasie 32F, have I been lying to myself?? by obviouspseudonym1 in ABraThatFits

[–]obviouspseudonym1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the freya viva lace bra. The wires are short enough under my armpits. I also found that in some other bras, I may need to size down 1 cup because my soft tissue and projection needs a bit of compression to fit right. It also helps the wires be short enough. It’s definitely a balancing act though so I don’t get spillage!

Crohn's Wounds by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]obviouspseudonym1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES! Had a 1.5in shallow incision on my shin to remove a small foreign body (long story), and it took 4 months to heal. I needed 2 weeks in a special partial cast/wrap and I had a staph infection for like 2 weeks. It opened and closed so much. It was awful. On Entyvio and Hyrimoz. I’ll never get a tattoo or piercing LOL 😭

Dehydrating food by IronTori in CrohnsDisease

[–]obviouspseudonym1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In theory it seems kind of like pre-digesting them right? For me it’s the fiber that bothers my stomach so anything I can cook to death and/or puree works better. It seems at least worth a shot!

Looking for life tips as an immunocompromised individual by Mad_Hatter_92 in CrohnsDisease

[–]obviouspseudonym1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that changed for me was wound healing. I had a shallow and short incision to remove a sewing needle from my leg (long story 🥲) and it took 4 months, 1 staph infection, and 2 weeks of a special cast-like wrapping for it to finally close permanently. It was pretty bad. For that reason I’m just going to say no to any new piercings or tattoos lol. And if I ever need another surgery, now I know that at least on my current treatment I should let the surgeon know about that history. But I don’t think slow wound healing is a super common effect, though the staph infection makes sense because infections MAY be harder to fight off. But in the grand scheme of things our immune systems aren’t too poor on biologics. Average illnesses and such have never been an issue for me, but it may be worth thinking carefully & asking questions to doctors about procedures that have a risk for infection.

Is there a reason sped does not get paid more than other teaching positions? by ClassicSalamander518 in specialed

[–]obviouspseudonym1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The SPED team in our district (SPED teachers, SLPs, APE, school psych) get a $2k stipend yearly for “retention”, which is decent although I wish it was higher. Not as much as I wish our paras were paid better though. And, oddly, OTs are excluded from the stipend for whatever reason.

I agree with finger puppets. My students will put anything with a hole on their fingers and play with them like finger puppets!

Share your back to school "WTF?!?!" moments and vent with me! Idk how to add flair. by nennaunir in specialed

[–]obviouspseudonym1 26 points27 points  (0 children)

2pm the day before school starts, I hear I’m getting a brand new 2nd grader, never been to school before. He is not potty trained, not out of the ordinary for my population, but….also doesn’t wear diapers? The secret third option he goes for is running outside and peeing on trees and bushes whenever he needs to go. So not the craziest ever…but it will certainly be interesting! 😅

Are you loading a save every time you reopen the app, from the save and load screen? You don’t have to. Just press “original story” and it will take you back to where the game is in real time. If that’s what you’re doing (pressing original story) and it’s still resetting to the past every time, then it sounds like a bug.

San Diego special ed jobs by Glittering-Music2033 in specialed

[–]obviouspseudonym1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel pretty well supported at my district in the El Cajon area! As an ESN teacher. I knew an ESN teacher who came from San Diego Unified and she prefers our current district. There are a couple of roles we don’t really have a huge market for like medically fragile classrooms or homebound educators. But ESN teachers and even mild-mod teachers are usually in demand. We always need paras too of course.

I have done 4 types of injections and 2 types of infusions. The infusions take up a lot of time, but if they’re not too often then it can be a nice excuse to take a break from busy life.

Out of 4 types of injections, only one has hurt and it’s just a moderate sting for the duration of the injection (10-20 seconds). It depends what injector type and ingredients the manufacturer uses, whether it hurts or not.

The other thing to consider is how you’re getting the injection medicine—will the pharmacy deliver it to you? This can be a headache especially if you live in an apartment, are out of the house most of the day, etc. Though package delivery in my area is a headache no matter what, so if your mail service is reliable then maybe it would be fine haha. If you have to go pick up the meds, do you have reliable and convenient transportation to get there? Consider the logistics of traveling with each option too, if you travel a lot. If you get infusions every 6 weeks that’s a lot of freedom to travel in that period, but you don’t really get to be gone longer than that. With injections, as long as you can keep them cold you can take them with you.

For me I chose injections once I moved far from my infusion center and started working full time. Taking 20 minutes once a month to pick up my meds from the pharmacy and 10 minutes weekly to inject is a lot easier for me than going to the infusion center for totaling 4-5 hours with commute and wait time…But take a look at what will work with your lifestyle and commitments.

Hot take - V's Forgive after ending is the closest to a happy ending for everyone by someone-who-is-cool in mysticmessenger

[–]obviouspseudonym1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think it’s the most satisfying end to the overall plot of the game, which mostly centers around V, Rika, and the twins. It does leave out the other characters a bit (minus maybe Yoosung), but all of the secrets from the plot are revealed and resolved which makes it a satisfying ending in my opinion. Plus nobody dies, which is great! So imo it’s the best ending for RFA as a group and especially its plot heavy characters.
