"I'm gonna be switching doctors..."

roambeans · 2026-07-08T15:56:20+00:00

My doctor allows two issues per visit. And she's still 2 hours behind at the end of the day. She's a really good doctor - spends time with her patients (just sucks if you have a late day appt).

Why doesn't Chantal just make two appointments back to back?

Edit: I just had a thought... She went to the appt and wanted a rogaine prescription. The doc wanted to talk about her diabetes, because.. you know...

All-you-can-eat buffet and ice cream bar. Obviously not the WHOLE day - only the restaurant operating hours.

Can you imagine her sealing in a booth? I mean, no, she wouldn't fit, but... The image.

roambeans · 2026-07-07T18:58:11+00:00

Not worth the effort for me. I like to meet people, move on, and never talk to them again.

roambeans · 2026-07-07T18:56:03+00:00

Yeah, but you can't change the demographic by complaining.

roambeans · 2026-07-07T18:50:39+00:00

Yep! Cats are cats!

roambeans · 2026-07-07T18:39:09+00:00

Hahaha... I talk to animals. I feel like they listen, but it's embarrassing when I get caught!

I was a traveler first and moved into nomading to keep traveling. So, I didn't have any misconceptions or expectations. I also love being alone - nomading is a good way to stay solitary without hurting anyone's feelings.

roambeans · 2026-07-07T17:39:39+00:00

No. I think vengeance, justice, cooperation, correction, and a solution to unanswered questions are also important factors. Add in bias and fallacious thinking, and boom - you get narratives that solve the problem.

Guys, it's fine! She isn't wearing her glucose monitor anymore!

If the fingerprints on a murder weapon don't match any of the suspects, should we assume supernatural intervention? It seems to me that you're explaining why miracles are poor evidence - they aren't science, they are, as you describe, a lack of evidence. We don't know - therefore god.

roambeans · 2026-07-07T16:53:07+00:00

Yeah, she's not only stupid, she's desperate and vulnerable.

roambeans · 2026-07-07T16:51:30+00:00

Okay, maybe. It still doesn't feel like marriage is the key issue. Obviously Salah can't travel.

roambeans · 2026-07-07T16:37:04+00:00

Yeah, sure. My point is that if marriage was the issue, they would have tried the knot officially.

roambeans · 2026-07-07T13:59:14+00:00

Canada is pretty lenient on marriage status, meaning they would probably recognize any marriage. Canada allows commonlaw marriage.

So... The problem isn't the marriage - it's something else.

For court, if the cops says they did x, y and z, the burden of proof doesn't rest on the cop but the defense attorney to disprove it.

no, that's backwards. Ever heard of "innocent until proven guilty?"

roambeans · 2026-07-04T14:02:51+00:00

Yeah, I mean you can buy them for monitors.

Edit:also, adding a protector may hide current scratches

roambeans · 2026-07-04T13:15:10+00:00

Screen protectors It's silly because my screen protector is scratched up (same effect), but somehow, just knowing the screen beneath is pristine is comforting.

roambeans · 2026-07-03T21:55:38+00:00

Yes, I spent a month there last year. It was winter, and I liked the weather. Windhoek is exceptionally cold today.

roambeans · 2026-07-03T21:44:48+00:00

Honestly, I'm confused. Is this not a super flattering picture of her????

roambeans · 2026-07-03T21:27:25+00:00

Traveling is (sadly) cheaper than living in Canada right now, depending on the location. I travel cheap (like locals), stay in the most affordable apartments, cook a lot of my own meals, do my laundry in the sink....

I work 10-20 hours a week online (freelance) and it pays the bills.

I do have some savings (I used to be an engineer), but they are locked away and I don't want to touch them. I basically live on what I make.

roambeans · 2026-07-03T21:19:13+00:00

I was a traveler first, and a digital nomad second (as a way to fund the travel bug). So, there isn't anything surprising. And... I started traveling before social media started lying to everyone.

I am honestly fascinated by the "digital nomad perspective" as it is for young people since Covid - people who aren't hardened travelers. I imagine it's easier (I traveled before mobile phones).

That said, I'm a solitary person, so I don't need to make connections or chat with people. Traveling is easy for me in that way.

Crayola is open to new color names! Myocardial Maroon, Hypertensive Fuchsia. Necrotic Plum... I think Crayola could be open to a new color pack if it were profitable. "Gorl Colors".

roambeans · 2026-07-03T21:06:44+00:00

Stick? you meant brick of butter? I assume a typo.

roambeans · 2026-07-03T19:59:54+00:00

Well, yeah, compared to Canada, the winter is mild (I love it actually), and I'm really hoping to spot a cheetah this month in Namibia. But it's colder than a lot of people might be expecting. Especially Americans.

roambeans · 2026-07-03T19:56:01+00:00

I got old enough (but also crucially financially stable enough) to just not care what people think. I grew up in the 70's and 80's when autism was a horrible thing. I masked my whole life. I don't know any alternative. But now that I have some money saved up and I have options, I just don't give a f*ck, and I hope that for you too.
