This is what I did too! I’m pretty happy with it

I think genetic biodiversity only matters if one reproduces, and that isn’t something that can still happen for me. I might try to teach my future niece or nephew how to do this though :)

It’s double vision, each eye still sends its own signal back to the brain. But I usually just try to focus on one eye’s image so I don’t get sick haha. I am able to read if I focus one eye, I’d say when I do focus on one, the other eye will still notice movement and color

It’s kind of an overwhelming sensory experience, possibly because I don’t do this very often

I can independently move my eyes.

It’s become more difficult and painful to do as I get older though

I had a first date where the guy thought it would be a great idea to take me to a park and serenade me while strumming his ukelele. I am certain that floats other people’s boats, but I am not the type of human that ever wants that kind of intense one-sided attention, especially in public. I gave him a second date because I felt horrible about how awkward I was about the whole thing, but the second date made it clear he just wanted a woman to marry quickly and have children. Which is also not a thing I’m into haha.

I screen people a lot more carefully now, so both sides don’t end up terribly disappointed

Is this it?

I went through an entire tissue box last night, and I’m halfway through another one today. Really great order to drink some more water ❤️

It’s incredible how much of an impact he had on so many people across the world.

I think I’m also grieving again a bit of my grandfather’s passing, because they had the same eyes. Those videos where he’s out with Ian McKellen, or even when he’s just being silly on camera hit me the most in the feels. My grandpa was also a really silly guy lol

I like to put them in the air fryer with a little bit of cornstarch and spice coating. They get slightly crispy on the outside

I’m going to have to try adding salt next time!

This sounds stupid but I’ve been crying since I found out. He has inspired me so much in my life

I’m watching Generations right now. I know, I know. But Walter and Patrick are both here okay?

I had to put all my stuff in storage then move across the country recently. I did not bring my cuckoo rice cooker with me, and damn I didn’t realize how spoilled I’ve gotten. The rice I’m cooking in a cheap one just isn’t as good. I think it is over-cooking the rice, but it’s actually hard to dial in

I am not for the death penalty in any capacity. However, this woman kept trying to murder people while in prison, although in far less horrific and dramatic ways than she murdered Colleen. I imagine the isolation she experienced on death row had an effect on the murder attempt? She needed to be in a psychiatric hospital

(I thought I had read elsewhere that she had two murder attempts on fellow inmates, one involving a romantic partner, but Wikipedia only has one attempt so I’ll leave it at that)

I’m reading more of your comments in your thread, and I really hope your doctor can help you out. Treatment for this can range from having a feeding port installed to therapy. My family member needed both a port and therapy, but is thriving now.

I also do really understand the texture thing, I have both AuDHD and a sensory processing disorder. If I’m severely stressed about anything, I end up living off safe soft food for a few weeks until my stressor has resolved. Because some textures feel less like food that will nourish me, and more like random objects that might cause me health issues if I try to digest them. That rubbery canned meat texture, especially if it’s accompanied by a layer of fat at the top of the can… 🤢 Yeah I totally understand that :/

Have you heard of ARFID? A close family member, as well as my close friend’s autistic child have this disorder. Low appetite and the visceral reactions to various food items are common with this disorder

That sounds incredible, thanks for the dinner inspo ^^

The one that breaks my heart is the Christian counseling services, which are so often not true therapy. There are absolutely licensed therapists out there who are Christian and can advertise that. Just hate watching people who have serious mental health problems go to counseling and hating themselves because prayer isn’t usually enough to help.

I’m a firm believer that if there is a God, he provided the tools and people to help his flock deal with modern problems. But people often turn away from using these tools or services :(

I just went through 4 years of university as an elder millenial, the youngins still feel this way and I honestly thought it was a Gen Z thing. I’d never encountered the punctuation issue before I decided to go to school again

There’s a Fundamental Christian influencer named Aria Lewis who has that “insurance”. She’s been dealing with dental problems and basically made a post one day asking her followers if that insurance was a scam because she wasn’t able to get the care she really needed

It’s crazy what problems people fall into when they choose something has “Christian” in the name over what everyone else is using

cause my face is NOT it

You actually have such a sweet, pretty face. And your eyes are very expressive in the few face pics I saw

I broke my spine in two places recently, and can’t really stand for long. So my docs had me doing some chair exercises to keep as much core strength as I can before I start physical therapy.

You’ll want to ignore the first ones that require planted or moving feet and focus on the dance, core, and upper body ones

Hope you recover quickly :)
