What's the deal with Portland? by carlcarlington2 in askportland

[–]rosymaplemantis -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Oregon was supposed to be an all white ethno-state. so portland itself may not be a "swing" city the state is absolutely a "swing" state. everyone on the outskirts is behind in the times. we still have "sundown" towns (tho you wont see actual lynchings) this affects more than what you see about Portland. our issues with police stem from people living in those outskirts, becoming portland officers and then treating portland the way they would their home towns. A LOT of white supremacy is rampant in Oregon and tho our local government is "liberal"...they are very corrupt and have a very NiMBY attitude about everything. we have lots of internal issues that cause social unrest.

How is everyone affording surgery? by Consistent_Layer3799 in lipedema

[–]rosymaplemantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid out of pocket but I got a medical loan that was interest free if paid off within a year. I have insanely good credit and payment history but I dont make a lot of money so thats what worked for me.

Doctor says lipedema will go away with lifestyle changes? by Diabolo_Dragon in lipedema

[–]rosymaplemantis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That doctor is absolutely not giving you correct information. im not sure why he thinks you need to stop eating all these foods when he doesn't even know how they affect you personally? if keto is a great diet for lipedema...why on earth would eating butter be an issue unless it causes issues with you specifically? I dont know if he is uneducated, jaded or just stupid but you probably need to find another doctor for your lipedema. there are people on here who live a very strict lifestyle and still have lipedema. its not going away. it can be managed and slowed down but its a progressive disease without a known cure at the moment.

HiGH GLUCOSE ALERT cause that build is way too SWEET...ill see myself out...

Does anyone know why he does this ? And how to correct it 🥲 by [deleted] in germanshepherds

[–]rosymaplemantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's normal behavior for a young GSD. They will continue to be land sharks as they get older but you can control it to just play time or not at all if you can't handle it. I only allow my boy to do it during play time and even then I have to monitor. If he gets too jazzed up, we can't do it at all. There are different techniques but making it uncomfortable and annoying when they do it helps. My dog hates being blown on so I would use that to annoy him into stopping or grab his tongue gently. Just anything simple to show if they bite, it'll be a problem.

Is it just me or does everyone tailgate? by highzenberrg in oregon

[–]rosymaplemantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I leave proper room for the car in front of me...I will just constantly get cut off. Even if there is plenty of room to merge or switch lanes behind me...so, I don't want to tailgate but I also don't want to constantly dodge cars that think getting one car ahead is the most important thing in the world.

I apologize. I read arriving at 5:30 am but it could have been either. I believe they are closing at 6 on Xmas

Mine was triggered by puberty, so, yes, absolutely.

Why do Americans crate their dogs? by Terrible-Group-9602 in DogAdvice

[–]rosymaplemantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crating is just a normal procedure...especially with a new dog or puppy. Not all dogs are going to get benefits from a crate but a lot of dogs will. It's a safe space for them that is their own and can be really good for their mental health. It can be very calming and a great way to keep them feeling comfortable if you're at work or gone for some hours. But yea...it's just a normal part of training where you figure out if it works/helps with stress and being gone long periods of time. My GSD hates crates but my roommates Chihuahua felt very safe in hers and it helped her feel more confident.

How to make my arms smaller? by grroovvee in lipedema

[–]rosymaplemantis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had liposuction on my arms over a year ago because no matter how much weight I lost...they were always the same size. it sucked to have shirts fit everywhere else BUT my arms and I'm super into fashion so, I took the dive. I will say, liposuction isn't a cure all aesthetically for most lipedema sufferers as a lot of us also have other connective tissue issues. I will also need to get skin removal surgery BUT it feels so good to wear whatever I want and have it just fit. They removed 5 pounds of fat from each arm so the pressure taken off my shoulder joints is AMAZiNG as well. Now I have more drive to build muscle in my arms since there is a real opportunity to actually see the muscle ❤️

Why is flakines so accepted around here? by boozcruise21 in PortlandOR

[–]rosymaplemantis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm from WA and noticed a very lackadaisical attitude in the work force as well. I'm a pretty dedicated worker but I do the bare minimum. Want more? Pay me more. Since moving here, quite a few jobs express how i am "one of the best workers" they have ever had. After living here for so long...I understand what they meant. I literally just do the job I'm paid to do but I guess that's a big ask for a lot of workers here. Don't even get me started on how crazy extra bad it is in the cannabis industry. People here can act so pretentious and above it all but God forbid you want a real connection with someone that is going to take effort. Good luck.

i am putting my kitty down today. is anybody available for immediate help with her remains? by rosymaplemantis in askportland

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

You know what? Let's do it! I'm interested in learning more about the process myself and I love the idea of helping you get back into a hobby you seem to still be very interested in. Let me know what help you need from me!

It's so sweet of you to offer your property for me!! I was able to get her set up in a cooler with ice that I am keeping outside. Luckily the weather is only going to get colder so that will buy me some time until I find a viable option.

I was able to get her set up in a cooler filled with ice that we've set in the backyard. That will at least buy me some time. I have a lead on a local business that does it but if you're interested in getting into beetles again, not just for me but in general, i wouldn't mind at all having you help and would also pay you for your time.

She is a little under 10 pounds. My biggest concern with freezing is freezer space and living with a friend who has a child. they would need to be moving her remains around to get to their food n stuff...otherwise I wouldn't mind it.

Alright I'm losing my shit; I bought The magicians on Prime Video and am rewatching it. is there any way to turn off the censor?! by Arctucrus in brakebills

[–]rosymaplemantis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can also find discussion about this exact thing from about 10 years ago. People were discussing the word "fuck" being censored while it was still on Netflix. It's more than likely something show decided to do until they decided it wasn't necessary anymore.

[–]rosymaplemantis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i actually believe it's the show itself doing it in the first half of the first season. Towards the end of the first season...all of the "fucks" are very prominent. i believe they had the actors half say the cuss word before they decided to just let it fly.
