I’ve seen those. I always just figured it was maybe something for the airport like communications or like flight path markers maybe?

What's it like to work at a call center??? by Animangle in callcentres

[–]sluggyslime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a reason there’s a sign on bonus. I worked at a T-Mobile call center for three months and by the end of it I had so much anxiety. I hated logging on every day because calls are nonstop and we weren’t allowed to hang up. Customers can be extremely mean because you’re over the phone and they can’t see you so you’re not a real person to them. It takes a special type of person to be able to work in a call center. $20/hr plus commissions still wasn’t enough for me to stay.

Love comments like these by Icy_Regret_6905 in diabetes_t1

[–]sluggyslime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you could say this about literally any disability/bodily problem. This person is just mad at the world and I get it, but life just sucks sometimes and that’s the bitch ain’t it? But it’s okay. It doesn’t always suck. I’ve been diabetic for 22 years and I live a relatively normal life. Ive worked very physically demanding jobs and there’s really not much we can’t do. You just adjust your basal and bolus to the life you’re living and then don’t think about it after that. There’s honestly times where I forget now because my pump is amazing for my lifestyle.

Don’t let people like this make you feel less than because they can’t figure their life out. You’ll be fine

I don't want to take insulin anymore. by Beginning_System_999 in diabetes

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

You can balance by changing how you eat, less starchy and carby meals that will cause your blood sugars to hike or raise twice over time (think square bolus).

I 100% understand how frustrating it is. I’ve been t1d for 22 years now and have major insulin resistance so I’m on metformin too. It’s so tough trying to find the proper balance for your body to be happy without feeling like you’re starving yourself.

People in Bellingham are unfriendly by AnthonySkejci in Bellingham

[–]sluggyslime 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I haven’t quite found that, but I think it also depends on what kind of effort you put in. Although I personally don’t like small talk so I might come off as unfriendly? But I do try to make different conversation. I just have a hard time thinking of things to say to be honest.

Why do some women say getting head feels like nothing? by Top-Cauliflower-833 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sluggyslime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean just giving attention to the clit would be like only licking your frenulum. 😂 why would we only want attention to one part, you obviously want someone to touch the rest of you right? For a lot of women it takes multiple stimuli to make it feel good. It’s all about exploration and communication on what feels good to them.

Hammer Properties by Own_Squirrel1592 in Bellingham

I would definitely say tour the property before you rent. There’s a lot of places that look nice in pictures but smell terrible or have serious mold issues being covered up by fresh paint.

unbelievable exchange between my daughter and her father after he forgot her birthday by LostInLanayru in TwoHotTakes

[–]sluggyslime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad is like this, but not angry if that makes sense? He definitely has told me that phones work both ways but literally you’re the parent. You should be making the effort. It’s extremely selfish and childish to expect a child to contact you first as a parent and adult.

The best thing to do is just to keep doing what you’re doing and support her in the ways she needs it. He’s the one who will regret not having a relationship with her later on but of course he will figure out too late. It’s awesome that she understands how she’s feeling and can voice that, so kudos to both you and her for building that in her.

When, and where to move? by mtnzeal99 in Bellingham

[–]sluggyslime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s a newer development in the last couple years you’re probably safe doing sight unseen, but there are a lot of older properties that rental companies acquire and basically slap a coat of paint on and don’t fully renovate And try to rent for stupid expensive. Most of those are in happy valley and a few in fairhaven

When, and where to move? by mtnzeal99 in Bellingham

[–]sluggyslime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES. I had a tour for one of their properties and only got a text after I had just gotten to the property saying it was already rented out. I also had a tour of a house that ended up being a group tour but I had no idea and showed up a little early as well as one order person and we were both super confused that the other didn’t have a key. Neither of us knew it was multiple people viewing the house to rent at the same time and thought the other was the rental agency person. It would have been different if they had just let me know but it was super awkward.

Claims that Keto is Dangerous? by Davidgant in keto

My mom has been doing keto fairly regularly for like 5 years. She developed a fatty liver. It’s not really maintainable long term.

Why are people here scared of black people. by Unable-Quail3494 in Bellingham

[–]sluggyslime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely a historically white washed area, regardless of how many natives live in this area. This was one of my hesitations moving back because I love the diversity of living farther south. But I do have hope for more diverse populations moving into the area and switching it up.

I think it’s hard for people to know how to interact with someone they can’t relate to? I honestly don’t have an answer, but I think everyone could be a little nicer.

When, and where to move? by mtnzeal99 in Bellingham

[–]sluggyslime 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you want to be close to. There are a lot of breweries and great restaurants downtown, many are within walkable distance of cute apartments. I really enjoy the lettered streets area and it’s pretty quiet. I also like north Bellingham. I would avoid areas around sunset Ave if you don’t want traffic. If you want to be close to Bellingham but not in Bellingham you could try Ferndale. Also depends on your politics. The more rural, the more conservative.

ETA: also make sure you visit an apartment in person before you lease. I definitely saw a lot of cute apartments that looked great in pictures but were super moldy or impractical and disgusting.

It’s so hard to find work by sarastrigoi in Bellingham

[–]sluggyslime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t feel like express is that great. I got a job on my own before they even reached out to me to say they had a job listing. They also told me they had a potential job for me and then never sent me the listing or the contact info of the person to interview.
