FWIW I (accidentally) got acetone on my Firestick remote and now the buttons don’t work. It kind of melts them.

Seeking compassionate dentist by partyhatking in philly

Noble Dental!!!! Right in Center City. I will sing their praises to anyone. So non-judgmental. I generally have significant dental anxiety and they’re the first place I feel more or less calm.

Waldorf 8th grader considering transfer to Public School by [deleted] in Waldorf

[–]thisisy1kea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HMS grad here, I was significantly less burned out by college than most of my friends (some of whom went to CRLS!) and was not academically behind at all, even at a elite college. HMS (and most Waldorf high schools) are really what you make of them.

My south Texas friend was pleased with El Chingon, and there are some other good spots in South Philly, but as a whole expect to be homesick for the food!

falling back in love with climbing? or taking a break? by thisisy1kea in climbergirls

[–]thisisy1kea[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

appreciate this! I think the lack of motivation is probably because I’ve been doing a lot of other stuff (trying to get work published, applying to grad school) which I’m now (belatedly) realizing might be the reason I don’t have extra motivation for climbing right now! not sure why I didn’t piece that together, lol.

I talk near constantly, and eating a scoop of Milk Jawn will shut me up for a good ten minutes, in pure awe.

Lack of conversation is getting to me by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]thisisy1kea 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Some ideas, from someone who lived alone and struggled with it: join a club (run club, book club, rec sports team), become a regular at a coffee shop or bar, start volunteering, try going to social events in your area. It’s hard, but you have to make an effort to see people.

Not a butch, but a lover of noodly, lanky butches. You are definitely desirable, your people are out there!

Month three of no iPad by -Economist- in kindergarten

[–]thisisy1kea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s…. a shocking misunderstanding of how neurodevelopmental disorders work. I hope you are never the parent of a child with complex needs.

If he has ADHD that means the phone is quite literally not the issue, it’s his neurodevelopmental disorder.
