I mostly dress for sensory issues and gender dysphoria. For work, I additionally dress to get taken seriously and in my free time, I dress for fun (sparkles, bright colours, frills, think David Bowies more fem looks). So, like most people, a mix of both, with one or the other being a stronger consideration in different situations.
iirc it’s ‘several species of small furry animals gathered in a cave grooving with a pict’
Almost every thought process you think is common sense has a name, because it isn’t common sense to everyone, and needs to be taught to some. Everyone has their blind spots.
But are they not already able to have a file linked to your physical ID? What difference does digitising ID make in that regard?
That’s a very good and respectful way of solving the issue, thank you for sharing!
How does facial recognition work without recording the faces it’s supposed to recognise?
Not a false dilemma at all. I’m not comfortable with being recorded onto some rando’s hard drive either. It’s still recording and tracking me against my consent.
I have this, and I cannot stress enough how much this use case is not worth being recorded and tracked in public against my consent
Gotcha! Kinda wanted to justify what fuelled that mess of a sentence haha
Nah I’m just full of ADHD meds, nicotine and caffeine
This is what ‘money can’t buy happiness’ used to, and should be, about. Construing it to mean that the rest of us should feel content living paycheck to paycheck (or worse) is gross. It’s true that you can want for nothing and still be miserable, though.
I’m the straightest person. I don’t have a gender, and I’m attracted to all genders. ‘all’ and ‘none’ are by far more opposite each other *than any two specific sexes or genders could ever be.
That is indeed the origin! https://www.etymonline.com/word/martial
I’m from a place where car safety rules are pretty strictly enforced and e-bike and e-scooter ones are not. As someone who almost exclusively walks and uses a non-electrical bike, and rarely a (shared) moped, I see MUCH more reckless behavior from people on bikes and scooters than people in cars. That is to say, having regulations and actually enforcing them does the trick. Id love to see it with e-bikes and scooters, so more people can feel safe on sidewalks and bike paths. Ive heard a lot of people say reckless electrical riders deter them from biking and walking more.
I’m not American, but yeah I’m staying vigilant
Who knew my sensory issues having ass was relatively safe all along between my noise cancelling over ears, sunglasses and COVID masks
The wishing they weren’t a specialist is so real. I wish my psychiatrist was also my GP and my therapist. I’ve found out through her about diagnoses that are in my chart that nobody ever bothered to tell me about and that I overlooked in there, as well as about off label medication uses that you mentioned and medication or illness interactions I never would’ve guessed. Outside her domain too, e.g. between my thyroid meds and ibuprofen. All the GPs I’ve ever been to are either jaded, refuse to learn or admit you might know something they dont, or don’t take you seriously.
I make it a point to adopt some of my grandpa’s lingo. Funnily enough my 18-20 year old students can smell 30yo slang from a mile away and will point out it ages me, but they’ve never said anything about the random 50s teenage slang I incorporate.
Yeah I’ve since googled it too! The fact that the symptoms are something where it’s obvious there’s something severely wrong and that it’s treatable in hospital reassured me, too. I’ve also realised that it’s similar to toxic shock from a tampon, which I never worry about, but am glad to know is a small possibility. Sorry to worry you/gross you out though!
What do I do during this time? I lie in bed with my eyes closed and try to fall asleep. I get up every half hour to hour and have a glass of water in the dark or something like that.
Do people mean ‘i don’t want to go to bed’ when they say they can’t sleep?
