I am not a medical professional but it sounds like you could have a bad migraine, or an iron or vitamin deficiency.

Congrats on 5 months sober!!! Quitting drinking was the best decision I ever made.

When you're done with your video can you send it to me? I love Zelda.

Aww sounds like my dream life!

No but I just got over a crummy chest cold. Not as bad as covid, which I've had twice.

Have you ever heard of the BRAT diet? It's helped me a lot when I have an upset tummy. Stands for bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. All foods that are really easy on the stomach. I hope you feel better soon.

Bradley Cooper is credited as writer, director, and producer. He was probably never going to cast anyone but himself.

I don't have a dishwasher. I haaaaate doing dishes.

Seriously, the amount of times I've had someone I don't know ask for a hit of my dab pen is insane.

Absolutely wild, apparently a local restaurant owner had a beef with this newspaper for some reason, and I'm guessing she has connections with the police department (especially since they were letting her drive on a suspended with impunity). Context leading up to it:

So much of the time, people will just make up complaints to try and get free food, so you have to be constantly on guard for manipulative assholes. Getting a customer who treats you like a person even after you actually made a mistake is a total relief.

I tried a bunch of different antidepressants. Lexapro, Zoloft, Prozac, Lamictal, Abilify. None of them helped, just kinda made me feel number and more tired. I gave up for a few years. Then I tried Celexa and it worked. It was like night and day. Holy shit, life is so much better now.

So try not to feel discouraged if you've tried medication and it didn't help. There's a ton out there, and more being developed all the time.

This is why I recommend dialectical behavioral therapy. It teaches mindfulness and radical acceptance to reframe your relationship with your emotions in a more healthy light, and also solid techniques for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. It helped me soooo much.

Edit to add: there is a lot of free DBT material on the internet that you can pursue without a therapist, if there are none available to you at the moment.

I gotchu

I just recently left my job as a manager at a pizza place. One thing that helped my sanity when dealing with crazy customers is to laugh at them. They get so upset, over what? Pizza? Can you imagine how shitty their life must be to get so worked up over something so minor? It got to the point that I'd have to stifle my laughter in order to not piss them off further, especially when they asked for my name. Yes, please waste your time complaining about me, nothing will come of it because you're full of shit. I especially liked scolding customers in my kindergarten teacher voice when they cussed. Can we behave like adults today?

Also, coworkers are great for venting about customers to each other. You get a little quick validation and it goes a long way.

I'm reading this from beehaw, I believe we're federated with lemmy.ml. But I don't think we want him if he's just gonna insult people without even articulating what's bothering him.

My sister used to call the lottery a tax on stupid people.

On one hand, low rise jeans were a result of the beauty ideal at the time being "heroin chic," which was undoubtedly harmful and caused many to develop eating disorders.

On the other hand, high waisted jeans are a result of the beauty ideal now being Kim Kardashian, which is still harmful (ask all the women out there with botched Brazilian butt lifts), not the least because the Kardashians lie about their bodies being natural so they can shill useless products.

Although having a small waist is still ideal, I'm glad the window has shifted back from the time when celebrities were slammed in every magazine as fat for looking like this.

I only had an account on kbin for a couple weeks before I got fed up with the trolls and bad faith arguments from other instances and jumped ship to beehaw.

Why? Just because it hasn't been noticed until now doesn't mean it hasn't been inside people before.

Good advice, but it's worth mentioning that ANY animal bite is an infection risk because animal mouths harbor bacteria.

Any injury that opens your insides up to the outside should be thoroughly washed with soap and water to minimize the amount of pathogens that pass through, but animal mouths and claws can harbor some nasty pathogens that have evolved to coexist with animals. Ever heard of cat scratch fever?

Why not add a cash discount? Charge slightly more for credit card transactions to cover the fees. I actually wonder why more haven't done this.
