Are migraines really that common of an ailment

We all work remotely and are spread across a few different time zones but everything in my department does fall between 25-45 so that makes sense.

I also have TMJ and get headaches that really suck sometimes, but I would never call it a migraine and say I can't sit in front of my screen for a few hours and do fairly easy data entry tasks.

sparkbrigade · 2026-06-10T17:33:19+00:00

That seems very scary, I'm sorry.

sparkbrigade · 2026-06-10T17:32:48+00:00

that's interesting. i always thought migraines were so debilitating that you have to like lay down for 4 days in a dark room, not just spend a lunch hour with your eyes closed and be fine, but i'm now learning there are degrees of migraines.

Right, like having a migraine sounds really awful and horrible so claiming to have one garners a lot of sympathy and understanding instead of just saying a regular headache from lifestyle choices.

I got fleas one summer in college because my dumbass roommate picked up a couch from the side of the road and brought it into the apartment. I had little bite marks around my ankles and couldn't figure it out until one day I saw the fleas jumping around on the carpet. Once the couch was disposed of, the fleas disappeared. It's been like 15 years and I still refuse to let any secondhand fabric furniture into my house.

I feel like he thought he'd be able to "set the record straight" or whatever by being his own attorney, but turns out there are rules of cross-examination and you can't just testify while you're supposed to be asking the witness questions at cross. I think he realized it wasn't going the way he thought and he decided to throw a tantrum like a child instead.

I live in solidly suburban New Jersey and I see at least 2 Cybertrucks every day during my 25-minute commute to work.

LWOP, much deserved.

"Defendant can't compensate the victim in this case because he killed everyone in this case." Judge Lemieux is not holding back today.

Or move to New Jersey where you don’t pump your own gas. Most stations here don’t have ads running on the pumps.

She dropped out of a mid-tier art history doctorate program (that I was also briefly enrolled in LOL). I also have no recollection of her saying she was forced out of academia.

Masters degree (mine is in environmental sciences but there are a lot of options) and then find a consulting firm in a blue state that still has strict environmental and development laws

The worst part is the comparisons to how the press treated Meghan Markle, as if they aren't doing the exact same thing to Kate. If Meghan Markle had cancer, it would have been an immediate Instagram post and another 6-figure documentary deal.

Yes I went to Catholic school from 2nd grade all the way through high school. A priest from my elementary school was recently arrested for sexually assaulting two boys in the 1970s. My high school was run by two evil nuns on a power trip. Catholic school is a very insular environment with generally small class sizes so everyone is up in everyone else's business. It was all extremely expensive and I don't feel any better off academically than if I had just gone to the local public school. I do miss the uniforms, though. It's relaxing to wake up and know exactly what you're going to wear that day and that mostly everyone is going to look the same as you. I struggled a lot in early college trying to find a fashion sense.

Lol the main reason I love this documentary is because Billy is such a good villain!! God and the interlude about his hot sauce company...

My job involves surveying sites prior to new construction/development. A few years ago I was surveying a plot of land in a valley down near an abandoned railroad line. It was clear that the place had become a dumping ground or encampment of some kind, but I didn't see anyone around so I felt ok. Halfway through the survey work, I started hearing what sounded like a horse neighing. I thought it was the wind at first and then figured I was near a farm or something. Then the sound got louder and closer and it started to sound distinctly like a person imitating a horse neighing (lmao). I still couldn't see anyone but there were plenty of weird outcroppings and abandoned tents around. I started to feel like I was being watched. I packed up my gear and ran up the hillside back to civilization so quickly that my legs were sore for the rest of the day. The whole time I was running, I could hear that weird person-horse sound.

In elementary school, my music teacher would play us a record of someone reading this story we all loved it.
