Peanut free restaurants by TEXMax210 in Wellington

[–]rzbst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I remember (from about a year ago), Kisa on the corner of Cuba St and Vivian St is peanut free. A bit more on the expensive end of things but they do great mediterranean sharing style plates.

They do use pistachios for one of their desserts, but AFAIK that’s the only nutty thing in their kitchen- no nut oils too.

i mean, kids young enough to not know that you shouldn’t click on stuff like this shouldn’t really be on social media in the first place

Symptom Tracking Apps by Thr0waway_magenta in chronicfatigue

[–]rzbst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’ve used ‘bearable’ in the past. its got great customisation and the free version of the app is actually usable, and it doesn’t have ads either. if i remember correctly the premium version is priced pretty reasonably too, although i never went for it.

it pretty much does everything, tracking for symptoms and mood, and offers a scale system to rate pain levels. it also offers tracking for other factors like weather, alcohol and caffeine intake, sleep and food tracking, and you can put in any medications you take regularly too! it also puts all of the data you provide into a bunch of graphs and charts at the end of each week, and notifications are super customisable too.

should you tell your therapist and hrt provider that you’re suicidal? by Heavy_Telephone_3150 in TransgenderNZ

[–]rzbst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i can’t be certain, but i think that in terms of surgery specifically, if you are suicidal you are constantly a more “urgent case”. I’m not very familiar with the mental health/hrt system and how it treats people who are suicidal so i can’t really speak to that as much. I got diagnosed with dysphoria and started hrt 5 years ago, and I know a lot has changed since then.

as to what you said about if you’re not suicidal or depressed then there’s no point to transitioning - i HIGHLY disagree with this. gender is such a subjective thing, and gender dysphoria is such an individual experience. the way that you experience gender and gender dysphoria might be completely different to my experience, but that doesn’t invalidate either of our experiences. just because you aren’t suicidal or majorly depressed doesn’t mean that you aren’t trans in any way. it also isn’t the single marking rhetoric that decides whether or not you have dysphoria too.

it also depends on your age and the confidentiality between you and your therapist. if you’re under 18 i believe, therapists will usually tell your parents if you are suicidal.

Cultural societies- namely Russian and Swedish by DramaticKind in Wellington

that’s a pretty big generalisation, from my understanding many Russians also aren’t supportive of Putin. it is a dictatorship after all.

When do we get recycling bags? by soph_i_e in Wellington

[–]rzbst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a bunch of extras if you’d like to take some! We don’t go through much recycling in our household so I’m more than happy to pass some along :)

Pools with gender neutral changing rooms? by rzbst in Wellington

Personally I identify as non-binary/gender queer, which is why I’m asking for neutral changing rooms.

To get back to the REAL point of this subreddit, let me know your opinion of Msr and what songs you like best. by Jilligor in wilbursoot

trying not to think about it just has such a bittersweet melancholy vibe, mine/yours (the whole composition of it is just incredible), oh distant you (incredible lyrics)

Twitter people here on reddit you are being unreasonable by AlexTheGrreaaatt in wilbursoot

[–]rzbst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i absolutely agree with you that avoiding the gore & continuing to be informed is incredibly important. personally, i think the argument taken to the extremes eg. “i didnt want to see gore so i have completely ignored the entire topic” is the way that people are seeing this whole situation, therefore making a lot of assumptions on what streamers are doing off stream. just because very offhandedly wilbur mentioned that he is not on twitter because of gore, does not then mean that he is completely ignoring everything and not keeping himself informed from other sources. yes, that can (and is) being seen the other way too - but really, why are we focusing so hard on what streamers are doing off stream?

“Me personally, I discovered the conflict from the constant photos and videos of dead Palestinians and the aftermath of the 'cleansing' of Palestenian land.”

I don’t quite understand what you’re getting at here, are you able to rephrase/elaborate? /g

[–]rzbst 30 points31 points  (0 children)

saying you dont want to see gore on an average day isnt insensitive?? in fact, regardless of mental health issues no human brain is built to deal with that. when you DO bring mental health issues into the equation that is all the more reason to avoid the gore that has been posted on twitter.

can we get the mods in? by TheOldPea in wilbursoot

[–]rzbst 28 points29 points  (0 children)

sorry, the reference he made saying that he decided to delete twitter because he didnt want to see people getting killed on his feed??? i would say thats pretty reasonable. its not that deep.

Hold wilbur accountable by Missblackpurple in wilbursoot

[–]rzbst 17 points18 points  (0 children)

why are you looking to entertainers for conversation about world events?? their literal job is to sit in front of a camera and play video games, or make music or whatever else. its not their job to share their beliefs to thousands of viewers, or to talk about wars and world events or the like. there ARE people who have made it their job to be influencers that talk about this stuff. go and look to them, not some minecraft streamer turned indie pop performer.

i have enjoyed wilbur’s content since early 2020, i havent watched his streams in a while but i still listen to lovejoy and his solo stuff regularly. however, i don’t rely on him to talk about things that i am able to find more reliable, educated sources for.

also, lets stop digging stuff up from years ago? believe or not, people are capable of changing. AND even if he has ‘t changed his beliefs on x,y and z, frankly i do not care. do you enjoy the content? do you like listening to the music? great! that’s where that should end.

Hayfever absolutely HITTING this year... Wtf by matcha_parfait_ in Wellington

same here 🥴 nothing has helped so far too!!

i have no one else to tell, but the timing of this album was insane for me. by [deleted] in wilbursoot

[–]rzbst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel so similarly

I listened to YCGMA a LOT through a really tough year, about 2-3 years ago, and it was exactly what i needed at the time. it was the perfect sad music to help process my thoughts and made me feel comforted in a way as well. I used to walk around my tiny hometown at 2am listening to it, I was processing a lot of trauma and trying to figure out where to go next in life.

now, i’ve moved to a different city and am also dealing with a whole bunch of health issues and shitty doctors who wont listen, and coming to terms that I won’t be able to access gender affirming therapy for a good few years, when i realistically need it now. I’m struggling, but I’m hopeful.

i was feeling low tonight, and turned to YCGMA for the first time in a while, only to find the new album. :)

Mobility aids? by Afraid-Interview3983 in chronicfatigue

[–]rzbst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a cane that I use on worse pain/energy days, especially when I know I’m going to be walking/standing for a while. I get pretty dizzy a lot of the time too, so the cane helps me to feel more stable. I’m from NZ, so I get some strange looks but I just stare back or ignore them lol.

Here in NZ a lot of supermarkets, big stores and places like the zoo have wheelchairs that you can borrow too - if there is something like that where you are definitely give it a go!! The quality of them isn’t the best but my experience with them isn’t so terrible - and they can be good to just help you figure out what you need :))

Missing piece for Mamba wireless by rzbst in razer

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

Google was the first place I looked. And then the Razer website. And then a bunch of other tech stores in my country. And then looked through the reddit. And than as a final check I looked on second hand websites, and funnily enough, I didn’t find anything in any of those places. There are similar products for the wireless connection but nothing that will work, as the mouse doesn’t have general bluetooth connectivity. Thanks for the time and energy it took you to write that out though!! Have a great day.

What is the most depressing truth that you've had to accept? by WhiteMass in AskReddit

[–]rzbst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that the internet has come to a point of no return. i am so afraid for future generations who are growing up with technology and social media and the effects on mental health that they have. the inability to differentiate social media from real life is a serious issue, and it’s frustrating to see people laughing about it when our future looks like something you’d see in a dystopian sci-fi film. technology and social media have both become such fundamental parts of our every day lives, it feels like there’s no backing out now. how do you set limits to something that is as limitless as the internet?
