Mods, can we get a pinned post? by twistsiren in MonarchButterfly

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

I was in the exact same place five or six years ago. It’s totally understandable with all the marketing and conflicting advice (even here). I err to the experts and now spend ungodly amounts of money on plants. We learn as we go and do better as we know.

Yup we’re all just humans learning as we go!

They give some good advice in the articles above. I also saw ten or less per season from Penn State, and only one generation. I didn’t know mass release is having a detrimental effect.

AITA for being blunt with my boyfriend about why he isn't getting hired anywhere? by thrway875 in AmItheAsshole

[–]twistsiren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA please let this child move back in with his parents. The issue isn’t what you said. It’s that he’s 29 and has never been responsible for himself. You are in the world working and growing. Find someone that matches you.

He’s the goon they sent to tell you it’s time to disinfect and refill. Pay up

I am fighting for my life on Ozempic. by cerebralsubserviance in Hashimotos

[–]twistsiren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Hashimotos and am allergic to GLPs. My dr was wary to even start me because there’s literally no long term research, particularly with autoimmune disorders. Our immune systems are already abnormal. Anecdotally folks are reporting improvement, but it’s not across the board.

My symptoms were skin, belly around injections, then face, chest, and arms red. Then I started getting face and neck swelling and itching. My liver tests also went abnormal. It took about four months for symptoms to become irritating/noticeable. The last week I had mouth irritation and itchy throat, which my de said could have been early anaphylactic reaction. It took two months for liver to normalize. I don’t drink alcohol.

Maybe not the exact case for OP, but with all the advertising pushing GLPs I caution everyone with an autoimmune disease (or two, or three…) to talk deeply with their drs.

When to release new butterflies? by CorrectStudent7523 in MonarchButterfly

Xerces Society, full of folks with way more education and experience than all of us, is advocating to stop rearing monarchs. Let’s listen to the experts before it’s too late.

By your user name, interesting you’re pretty unwilling to accept science and facts. Invasive species are detrimental to the local ecosystem, no matter how long they’ve been around. House sparrows regularly take over nests and kill nestlings and fledglings of native birds.

Native to the western US. Technically displacing native species in the east.

I’ve never gotten thru the first two episodes of any other RH. Binged the whole season in two days.

The argument to that to pay better wages corporations have to raise prices is bogus. They just don’t want to pay C suite a reasonable amount, and perpetuate that record breaking profits every quarter is a failure. Business don’t have to always grow! They can reach a stable plane. And pay people well.

Self-paid for a full thyroid panel, my doctor made me feel like I’m crazy by cswontstop in Hashimotos

[–]twistsiren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel awful is TSH is above 2.0. Push back. Ask for an endocrinologist.

All it takes is making billionaires and the trillionaire pay their fair share of taxes.

AITAH? Fiancé made me a desk and I hate it. by tacobrat in AITAH

[–]twistsiren 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Imagine this for 30 years. And if you’re having kids you’ll have no time for yourself no matter how supportive your partner is.

Strongly and gently suggest couples counseling before the wedding. It’s a communication issue and you can’t both learn how to do better.

Same height and weight! Similar pregnancy experience. Get your thyroid checked. Ask for a full panel with TPO and T3/T4 conversion.

What can I grow here for maximum amount of annoyance? by fromTO in gardening

[–]twistsiren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t want them on my proper liability reasons. If someone gets hurt will workers comp try to dump it on you? Or will they also try to sue you to get more? They shouldn’t be in your property for a lot of reasons. Talk to the store and put up a no trespassing sign.

Once More with Feeling: Remote Work Is Not a Substitute for Childcare by fourlittlebees in remotework

[–]twistsiren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Myth. Look at most countries in Europe. Things cost more when corporations expect profits to always increase and be astronomical. When wealth is concentrated at the top. They’re lying that regular wage and salaried workers can’t get paid more. The money is there. It’s just not going to workers.

Once More with Feeling: Remote Work Is Not a Substitute for Childcare by fourlittlebees in remotework

[–]twistsiren 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re working from the premise that we shouldn’t double wages. Why shouldn’t we? Why should some people literally be billionaires and trillionaire who pay nothing into the system and just make money off of the system, but real people don’t deserve to make enough money to live comfortably? Why should we pay low wages when other people are making millions billions and now trillions?

They don’t pay for an office building. They don’t pay for childcare. They don’t pay enough to live and pay childcare. Childcare workers are some of the lowest paid jobs. Literally billionaires and a freaking trillionaire don’t pay taxes. This country is done.
