So I’ve had allergies all my life. Waking up stuffy or sniffling is super common, I don’t even keep track of it. When it’s bad, if I tilt my head back, I’m literally drinking mucus lol (gross). I joke about being allergic to the outdoors, spring time’s bad, and there’s particularly something about the desert that makes my allergies act up. Some of the shrubs out there, sagebrush maybe. And I can get it basically everywhere, even while traveling to other countries, so it seems like I’m allergic to multiple things. My allergy symptoms are pretty much sneezing and sniffling, nothing to do with the throat.

I’ve taken OTC antihistamine meds before. They don’t completely dry me out but it helps a little. They’re not a magical cure, so I actually don’t bother most of the time unless it’s bad and I have something important going on.

I don’t think you’re being a big baby, because it sounds like you just developed this issue? I just deal with it because it’s normal, it’s been going on my whole life, kinda like wearing glasses lol.

They absolutely do! Some animals mate for life. Some mourn when one of their own dies (see whales, elephants). Parrots who are lonely may self-mutilate. Dogs can remember you and get so excited to see you, even after being separated for years. Interspecies friendships exist. It’s like… I don’t see how people can still think animals DON’T have emotions.

They just don’t make faces like humans do. Although interestingly, dogs developed eyebrow muscles that give them more human-like expressions, which therefore strengthens our bond with them.

Joined! I still visit the subreddits, but it’d be nice to get some NFL traction on Lemmy. :)

I haven’t played Rise, but the Monster Hunter series is pretty grindy in general

Not sure what other NSFW instances off the top of my head. I think lemmit.online mirrors different subreddits, so maybe some NSFW options there

Straterra didn’t do shit other than make my libido nonexistent.

You can say that again! For me, irritability and nausea too. It just wasn’t a good fit and I only figured it out on higher doses.

I think the French maid is kind of a sexual fetish (not sure why it’s specifically the French maid lol) so the guys like it. Plus it’s a cute outfit (look up lolita fashion) so the girls like it.

Reactions and side effects are dependent on the person. I’m healthy so I don’t typically take medications but this was my experience on Strattera, which you’re supposed to take with food. That warning was no joke. I had to take it with a meal, because I’d risk feeling queasy with only a snack. But at low doses, it was fine. Very manageable.

As my dose was increased, the nausea started becoming constant. I couldn’t do anything to relieve it. At one point I was at a restaurant and had to go throw up in the restroom. After that I decided to stop taking Strattera, because the nausea made for a miserable experience and was not worth it at all. I was instantly better once I stopped.

Can’t imagine there are too many moms on Lemmy lol

Thank you! Subscribed!

Listen to this man!

If it’s home-cooking, I’m gonna go with a blackened salmon with beurre blanc sauce and asparagus. My partner says a good prime rib!

I’m the same way. I’m not anti-social, just picky with how I spend my time and with whom. I guess it’s more of a reflection on my job, but work people ain’t it – meaning I wouldn’t be friends with most of them outside of work. As I get older, I find that I increasingly put myself first and have less tolerance for bullshit lol.

Thread bumping would help a lot actually!
