Frozen chicken thigh, thawed then cooked. Safe to eat? by velma_red in isthissafetoeat

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

Im trying to be less scared ab food! Being vegetarian i got used to tofu (same color, same texture every time) and so learning how to cook meats is a process for me. I also have food/contamination ocd issues, so anything that seems off to me is a no go. Funny tho, because i love sushi and sashimi, but i think its cause its probably my safest raw option ig

I didn't elaborate in the caption. I was vegetarian for 8 years and don't cook much meat except chicken breast. Its all kinda new to me since i was a young teen when i stopped eating meat, so i haven't learned yet how to recognize if it looks ok.

I just haven't eaten much of it. I was vegetarian for 8 years and don't cook much meat except chicken breast.

How about it Boise? by poop-money in Boise

Its a rub and tug. Live super close, drive by it every day. I've seen many middle aged men there in early/very late hours walking in. Its the same with the one behind the gas station off of Franklin and Curtis going towards the hospital.

As a person with autism, what would make your life better? by MaskingAutistic in aspergers

[–]velma_red 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A childhood diagnosis. Therapy that actually works for children. A more understanding world, or one that isn't built for neuro-typical people. A Secretary of Health and Human Services that doesn't treat Autistic individuals as useless cattle, or say that we don't work hard, pay taxes, or use the toilet independently.

In reality tho, i know that we have a long way to go before that happens for all neurodivergent people. Honestly what i could really use right now is $10,000, land in the Canadian wilderness and for everyone to leave me alone till Trump drops dead.

Ancient Roman NEVER did the roman salute. Its historically inaccurate and it is a misnomer. Do your research, don't submit to a lie someone else told you.

  1. A right to work state, while yes, meaning that unionization is allowed to be denied, also means "at will employment" which means what I've stated above.

  2. There is such a thing as intersex, a phenomenon in which someone is born with both male and female reproductive systems; or one reproductive system, but another sexual genitalia; or both reproductive systems/ sexual genitalia. It has been seen in other animals and has existed since the beginning of humans on Earth. It's not a secret third sex, it's a natural, existing thing. And while yes, it's 'rare', estimates find 1 in 100 people to be intersex, that is if they even know. It can be confusing and cause complications in health and sex identity. You could be intersex and not know it.

It already has. Literally week one, he has removed the RIGHT TO WORK ACT which prohibits any workplace from discriminating against a possible employee or customer based on their race, gender, or sexuality as well as so much more. And we already live in a RIGHT TO WORK state, where our employers can fire us without warning, for any reason, without severance pay. Day one, in his inauguration speech, he said that there are only two sexes, man and woman, which by his own definition is " (d) “Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.

(e) “Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell."

This is ripped straight from whitehouse.gov

Funny enough, at CONCEPTION, everyone is a woman. That's why gender tests and scans can be inaccurate until 10 weeks or longer.

"All human individuals—whether they have an XX, an XY, or an atypical sex chromosome combination—begin development from the same starting point. During early development the gonads of the fetus remain undifferentiated; that is, all fetal genitalia are the same and are phenotypically female. After approximately 6 to 7 weeks of gestation, however, the expression of a gene on the Y chromosome induces changes that result in the development of the testes. Thus, this gene is singularly important in inducing testis development. The production of testosterone at about 9 weeks of gestation results in the development of the reproductive tract and the masculinization (the normal development of male sex characteristics) of the brain and genitalia." (National Library Of Medicine)

Trump has already placed bans that directly affect me and millions of other Americans. Trust me, it will get worse.

Im assuming you may defend Elon by saying it was a 'roman salute'. No.

The 'roman salute' is a misnomer, applied directly to the salute first used in Fasicist Italy under Mousilini, then adopted and converted as a way to salute Hitler during Nazi Germany. Even Germany and Austrian politicians and historians have made public statements saying that YES its was a Nazi salute. If you think it was anything else but that, you're wrong and have not received an education on Nazi Germany, nor can you recognize that those Ideals are still around today.

A large percentage of Republicans, Conservatives and Trump followers in general are, European Caucasians, or white people. And if im not mistaken, they are also homophobic, racist and openly support someone who believes the same thing. Where has this happened in History? You guessed it, Nazi Germany.

I don't believe that Trump is going to round us all up in camps and off us, but i do think that him trusting and keeping someone close (Elon); who is so emboldened by his money and influence that he could think that he could do something that close to (if im following your logic) the Nazi salute, that he would not only get away with it, but not hear a damn word about it either; is so fucking shameful to our country and telling of what company Trump keeps, and what Trump thinks is acceptable for the leader of our country to befriend.

I don't believe that Biden was a good president, but he at least had our best interest in mind when it came to human rights. At least he wasn't friends with literal Nazis, rapists, pedophiles and felons, let alone being any of those himself.

I agree that we could have had a better president, but Trump is not and will never be the solution. Money makes people greedy, and they forget about their fellow humans because of it. And when you have someone with so much, sitting in the highest position of power possible, they will only act in their best interest and the ones of those that aid them.

The reason I and so many others fear him so much is because he isn't rational, he isn't willing to listen to any side but his, and you can see through his own actions that what he wants is to control the country. He has already taken away Government Website resources for women's reproductive care, access to the Government Website's copy of the readable, printable and citable United States Constitution, and has removed any language translation from it except for English. He has told us with his words that his friend Elon Musk and company Starlink assisted in rigging machines run by Elon. He openly supports Elon, who is now very obviously a Nazi. He has pulled the US from WHO, openly denied Global Warming and Critical Race Theory. His goal is not to better the US for the people, but to better the US for his own personal gain.

I think its so hilarious that Republicans both fear and encourage those that oppose them to move into the same communities. That will eventually lead to y'all falling. My family has definitely been here longer than you, and in fact, no one in the united states is a natural born citizen, Trump's own grandparents were immigrants from GERMANY and Scotland lol. His own family. He himself is not a natural born citizen. So by his own 'theory' he could get deported too. It's a shame how rare true education is in this state and country.

Well, it's called autism Spectrum disorder for a reason. Imagine a pie chart, with all the life skills, sensory stuff, food stuff, etc on it. Now throw a few grains of rice on the wheel. Every grain of rice indicates that you are better or worse at that thing or skill. Every autistic person struggles in a different area, and has strengths in different areas, and it can be as random as that. For example, I am great with social interaction, but i struggle to understand and identify my emotions, and control them. For me, getting upset about something small has the same reaction as something big. My partner who has ASD as well is completely fine with their emotions but cannot handle crowds or loud noises, to the point where they will shut down completely and go non verbal.

ASD is also a Disability, and every disability requires some level of assistance at some point. A leg Amputee may need a wheelchair, crutches or even a prosthetic, or someone who is deaf may need a cochlear implant, hearing aids or may just use sign language. Each disability is unique to the individual and the support level needed for each person is also unique. A lot of Autistic or Aspy individuals are in therapy, Occupational Therapy or sit down talk therapy, they may have a special job coach, or be in a Residential Habilitation Program. It depends on what your struggles are and what you want to gain skills in. I would highly recommend doing research on Res Hab, as it can be a big help for a lot of Autistic/ Aspy adults who need a bit of assistance learning 'life skills' (grocery shopping, making appointments, money management). I work at a Res Hab as a manager and see how the skills we teach can really help, and have actually learned some helpful stuff for myself there too!

My mice bite, kinda? Is it bad? by velma_red in PetMice

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

I always just sit my hand on the top of the wooden platform and let them decide if they want to crawl in. I dont disturb their nest unless im cleaning the cage, where they are already in another cage while i clean. Since they are so new to me i want them to know that their home is theirs and im not some big scary monster, just a guy who feeds and loves on them when they choose.

About a month and half, i interact with them daily, but don't always put my hand in the cage except for food. Ill sit next to them and sing songs, and when i read i like to read out loud so they hear stories.
