Thank you for this! What a bummer. :(

I've been where you are! If you sleep on your side, you may want to try sleeping with a pillow between your knees. It helps keep your hips aligned, and can help with that. It helps me a lot, and it's super easy. That, and hip strengthening exercises & stretches for where they're too tight. If you can access physical therapy, do it! All of these things will help you sooo much in the long run - the sooner you start it the better - and can help keep that from getting worse as you age, or often get rid of it entirely.

That's obviously the superior device. I'm glad someone else out there gets it. Party on, TwoDurans!

I love that username, by the way. I see what you did there! :)

"TURN IT OFF, MAN! TURN IT OFF! IT'S SUCKING MY WILL TO LIVE! OH, THE HUMANITY!"

Poe's Law applies here. Plenty of people out there say the exact same thing you said, but they genuinely mean it, and then those beliefs spread to other dummies who believe it, and it causes harm. So I understand why so many people just downvoted it.

Is brushing your tongue with your toothbrush when you brush your teeth no longer the suggested protocol? Is a tongue scraper supposed to be better than that? I'll have to look into it. I didn't exactly grow up in an environment that knew or practiced healthy oral care, so I'm trying to figure all this shit out myself now, lol.

Nice people sending him home with a bunch of awesome produce or baked goods for him and his family was my dad's absolute favorite when he was a repairman that went to people's houses. You probably brightened his day!

Thank you for sharing this. I'm one of those bendy-bodied connective tissue disorder people. I'll have to check it out!

Bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections are two different things, just so you know. Bacterial vaginosis is bacterial, yeast infections are fungal. They can often occur together, but you can just have one or the other, too.

I don't know why they're using it as a reply to you, but they're quoting the kid in the video in the original post

Or like when we didn't properly take care of the Confederate assholes after the Civil War, which led us to where we are today.

Don't forget abortions for their mistresses!

I think you'll likely like Duke's, too. Hellman's has long been my go-to and Duke's tastes pretty similar; I like it a whole lot. I use them both for tuna/chicken/egg salad and deviled eggs, like you do, + some sandwiches, like with turkey or chicken, or on the outside of sandwiches like grilled cheese instead of butter/margarine sometimes. (You may like that! Like with your oven chicken/salmon, it doesn't really leave a mayonnaise taste behind after it cooks off.)

I haven't tried Kewpie mayonnaise, but from everything I've heard, it seems to be a lot more different from mayonnaise like Hellman's than Duke's is. I'd put Hellman's and Duke's in the same type of mayonnaise category...if that makes any sense, lol! I'm guessing I'd likely feel the same way about Kewpie that you do, haha.

That sounds delicious. What a great idea. I hope to give it a shot someday! (It's much too hot where I am to use the oven right now, haha.) Thanks for sharing :)

Oh my goodness, how so very precious and sweet!! <3 They're adorable!

/unjerk As someone who has legitimately had important organs (and teeth) removed because I couldn't afford the treatment needed to keep them & live, this made me laugh so hard. It's the exact type of joke that I make about my life of misfortune that causes people to react with horror and discomfort. Which, of course, just makes it funnier. I needed that smile, laugh, and levity. Thank you.

I hope we can set flairs in this sub, so I can make "You fat cats with full organ function sicken me." my flair.

Edit: Success! Thank you for the flair. I've got some fungus growing in between my toes that I've been saving for a special occasion, starving myself myself of those delicious calories... To show my appreciation, I'd like you to have it.

I understand. I do the exact same things.

I'm not really able to think/function well enough to write much of a comment or put my thoughts into words, but I wanted to let you know that I'm seeing this post because I specifically sought out this subreddit of yours to catch up on what I've missed and see how you're doing, even though I know I can't do anything about it, which I hate. I just wanted to let you know that there's yet another of us out there who cares about you and thinks of you. Gosh, I hope that doesn't come off as creepy 😅 Hopefully you get what I mean... communicating is difficult for me, haha. Much love to you! <3

Me, Ive just been distracting myself on a game design project. My never ending attempt by some part of me to save me from a life of living death. A way to incentivize intrinsic motivation. Only I need that motivation to make the game. Kind of a catch-22.

Oof, I totally feel you. I hope you're able to find the motivation (and the executive functioning to go with it) that you need and hang on to it for a while. 🤞

Life is funny. The more help you need, the less society helps. You become unable to work or socialize. You fall through the cracks and society doesnt care. The machine just rolls over you.

Gosh. You put that into words so perfectly and succinctly in a way I've long been struggling to do. I want to save that quote somewhere somehow, maybe share it around (I'll ask you before I do and won't do so without your permission and credit.) I feel so seen...for once! But... I hate that you're likely so aware of and familiar with this because it's happened to you, too. I am so sorry. You deserve so much better.

I totally understand. There are definitely a lot of people who do that.

I have zero clue why your reply to me got so many downvotes. I'm not sure if it's a case of me missing something, or just people being weird.

🎯! Both of your replies to that grossness (and your original comment!) were spot on, seriously. I admire you. You rock! It always makes me happy to see people flat-out call that bullshit out!! You seem like the coolest and I hope you have an awesome day!! :)

Yes.

Wait, what? Are you joking, or is there yet another ridiculous thing I've missed?

Either way, I do wonder a lot how often he actually believes the objectively false nonsense he spouts and thinks it's an actual fact in actual reality, and how often he 100% knows it's a flat-out lie. I'm sure both happen, but I'm curious what the ratio is and which is which.
