E: scrolled down to realize I’m like the third person to say this. So original 🙄🤷

Lmao

Well now I’m sad too :(

Hell yeah OP!!! You fuckin rock! I bet you’re gonna sleep like a gd baby tonight!! (I know I always rest better after finally getting that thing I’ve been putting off done.)

Here’s a somewhat related comic for your viewing pleasure (but mostly for my sharing pleasure tbh)

I started buying dry beans recently and it has been a complete game changer for me. Same goes for things like rice, potatoes, and oats. My grocery bill is way lower than it used to be, and I haven’t have to skip meals to get through the month in a while. I spend a bit more time cooking now, but I’m a college student with no kids or other major responsibilities, so it’s not a big deal in my case. I’ve honestly started to enjoy cooking, and my roommates are nice about helping me learn.

I dunno why I’m putting all this out there, I guess I’m just happy about it. I grew up hungry, not to the extent that some kids do, but enough that it took a toll. This is the best nourished I’ve been in my life, and the difference it’s made caught me by surprise. I feel better physically, obviously; but I also never realized how much the stress was weighing on me. It’s hard to explain, but I feel like a whole different person without it, y’know?

Sorry for getting off topic. I hope it’s okay if I leave this here for my own sake lol. But yeah! Rice and beans ftw! xD

We have exactly one grocery store in my city - that I’m aware of - that allows its cashiers to sit. It’s Aldi lol.

That is so interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Ok, I have a question for you guys.

I consider myself to have an internal monologue, but it doesn’t just run all the time. Like, sometimes my thoughts have words, and sometimes they don’t. Is it like that for the rest of you who have an IM? I always assumed it would be, but considering some people don’t have one at all, it wouldn’t surprise me that much if some people had one constantly.

I really tried to word this in a way that makes sense… sorry if it doesn’t lol.

I have an external monologue!.. Yeah, I just never stop talking

Yeah, but which one? /s

Thanks Obama /s

Physical therapy changed my life. Not just that, but my PTs actually had knowledge and experience with my rare condition – more so than any doctor I’ve ever seen to this day. I’m sorry that hasn’t been your experience, but I assure you that there are serious PTs out there.

I will add, as someone with a connective tissue disorder, that a quick “pop” can help a subluxated/dislocated joint, but that’s something that can and should be done by an actual physician. And if someone has joints that are especially unstable (for example, bc of a connective tissue disorder), subluxations/dislocations can happen pretty regularly.

This is NOT a defense of chiropractors. And chiropractors are even more dangerous for people like me because it’s easier for them to seriously damage our joints. Go to a PCP, a rheumatologist, a physical therapist, it doesn’t matter, just go to a real doctor.

Takes me back to the time I was a kid and got lost riding my bike in my suburb. I ended up on the other side of the town, and to get home my stupid ass rode on the shoulder of the major highway, no helmet, going the wrong direction.

Made it home unharmed by sheer luck lmao.

I’ve always assumed people were joking when they said that. Do people actually believe this?

Relevant username

Are there actual statistics about this, or are you just saying that bc it’s what you believe?

Ftm here, I’ve never heard of this before. If anybody has further information, I’d be very interested

It’s gotten to the point that I only feel safe watching movies with headphones (on my phone/computer). I can always keep a finger on the volume button, and at least with headphones I won’t upset my roommates with the volume lol

Hey man, you probably shouldn’t be texting while riding your bike. /s

Stay safe out there o7
