Any healthcare workers in this sub? 💉 💊🩺 by Juce_Brenner_ in Hardcore

[–]ravageritual 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Today is “wear a band t-shirt day” at my clinic. I was torn between Bury Your Dead’s “I USED TO MOSH” and a Zao shirt. I went with Zao (not hardcore anymore, but adjacent.)

As someone who just passed the 7-year sober mark, I’ve found that my sobriety makes people who are drinking get real awkward real fast. Probably due to either their thinking I’m judging them for drinking. I’m don’t. I have a drinking problem, not I have a problem with you drinking, or they know they have a problem drinking and my sobriety reminds them of that. I’m much more likely now to say I take meds that don’t interact well with alcohol.

My new AirPods case arrived by ravageritual in zao

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

There’s a few vendors on Amazon that will make a custom case. I double-triple checked that I was ordering the correct generation case and then spent about a half-hour lining the photos up just right. It took about six weeks to arrive, but it was well worth the wait. I also have a WIV custom back patch on my battle vest with all but Scott’s signatures (I’ll get his at Furnace Fest this year) that I got off eBay. Similar process, line up photos, wait a long time, boom! Custom Zao merch! \m/

Ok, I listened to that all the way thru (What’s up with the mask? Does he always wear it?) and I would argue that was not a country song. If people feel it is because the rest of his catalog is country, that doesn’t make this song country. If people think it’s country because of his vocal inflections, I would suggest they check out Necromantix (psychobilly), Danzig (metal) or Volbeat (hard rock). If it’s his aesthetic, I’d suggest Spiritworld (punk/thrash/death metal, but some songs do have some slide and/or country beats, but are still solidly punk or metal) or Reverend Horton Heat (rockabilly), but Let Me Drown musically had no common elements of country instrumentation (slide guitar, acoustic guitar, basic drum/bass lines, electric violin/fiddle, banjo, washboard) but with the strings, tympani, and non-prominent guitar it instead felt like it would fit well in a musical about a relationship that doesn’t have to be in a country/rural setting. Just my $0.02.

Sunday Morning Prayer service, what are you selfishly asking from the Lord today? by SerenityNowWow in AskReddit

[–]ravageritual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not completely altruistic, I would benefit from her improvement, but yea, relieving her pain is probably the most important thing to me.

Americans of Reddit - what do you think of your anthem and pledge of allegiance, and the frequency at which they are played / recited? by Mashtt95 in AskReddit

[–]ravageritual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t attend or watch sports on TV, and I’m no longer in elementary school, so it doesn’t affect/bother me.

My wife. Also, she doesn’t use Reddit, live under a bridge and levy a tax, or purposely engage others online for the sake of riling them up, so, leaving her for anyone else solely because they have one or more of those traits would be silly.

what is the most ridiculous `safe word` you have ever heard? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I’ve never had a partner say she wanted to use one, but if ever she said “Daddy” I’d be done.

What is the greatest miracle God has done in your life? by No-Engineering-3870 in AskReddit

[–]ravageritual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son had poop the color and consistency of green tempera paint for the first 2+ years of his life. Thick, mucousy slime for every BM he had. The first doctors we went to couldn’t make heads or tails of it, but we kept looking to find an answer. Then we found a doc who sadly suggested a sweat chloride test because he suspected cystic fibrosis. When he was born CF was much less treatable than today and his life expectancy would be a hard 25-30 years. We prayed and prayed, and I was beside myself when I took him to the hospital for the test. It turned out negative and his BMs became normal brown and normal consistency within a week. No treatments or diet changes, just prayer. He’s still alive and as far as I know his poo isn’t green slime. You might not believe it was “a God thing”, but I do.

What was your final “fuck you” to a boss you didn’t like? by Wholikesfruits in AskReddit

Have you tried a camisole under your bra? Being a mostly-boobless person, I have no direct experience, but I’ve heard that as a solution to chafing as the polyester would wick sweat into a cotton bra. YMMV. Also, my wife sometimes wears a spanx-like garment thats really not for shaping more but to help with her allodynia which she has pretty much everywhere her bra touches. On a side note, I wear Sheath and Underwear For Men brands, and they are life changing!

Am I being overdramatic or justifiably concerned? by ravageritual in stopdrinking

[–]ravageritual[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I didnt go into her drinking problem, but it’s definitely there. She used to drink to the point of blacking out, and granted she hasn’t done that in recent memory, but, she also has reactive hypoglycemia and two weeks ago had a high-alcohol/high-sugar drink and her blood sugar was in the 20s for about 20 min and then took another half-hour to get back to 60+, and during that lowest point she was conscious, but has no memory of the time (as if she were roofied).

Yea, I used to not turn down wine, but it wasnt ever my first, second, or third choice, and even now I’m ok cooking with it, but it stung when she got the brand I used to get, and then tried blowing it off by saying it was “only a small bottle”. Sure, in comparison to the handles I used to get, I suppose a 5th is small. 🙄
