  • I don't know that I've ever thought of something as inedible. But, I will say that, when I stop eating sugar for awhile, it is crazy tasting going back to it.

    Going through these phases has helped me to understand what people mean when they say American food is too sweet, especially things like sandwich bread which I never thought of as sweet before.

    It also makes sense about desserts that are "sickeningly sweet" - I've always had a sweet tooth (have one now) so I never thought of it that way. But whenever I go back to these desserts it becomes pretty obvious what people mean.

  • Agreed.

    It's also hard for me because so many artists are pedophiles (for example) that it's hard to remember who's who. Being able to block artists on streaming services is helpful, though I will admit that I have a lot of music (and podcasts) to sort through that I may not get to anytime soon.

    Now if I could block actors, producers, etc on TV/movie services, that would be awesome.

    But I don't pause my life to research everyone involved in a project. So unfortunately I assume many people slip through the cracks.

  • I think that's kind of misleading.

    It looks to me more like he is just looking in that direction (even if he does take a step or two). He was more asking/saying, well why should I go that way when my car is this way. Not, oh shit, my car is actually this way.

  • Tbh that's something I'm afraid of. That Biden will win this year, but Trump will keep running until the end of time (which is when he either wins and becomes dictator, or dies)

    I'm also afraid he will never die, and I think he will, but sometimes I still think there's a monster under the bed that's gonna eat my toes and I can't fight that with logic.

  • In the US, when using insurance, a preliminary diagnosis is usually required on the first visit in order for the claim to be approved.

    Many therapists not submitting to insurance don't bother with a diagnosis, however some will still diagnose regardless. Additionally, if a patient requests a diagnosis for various reasons, they may give one.

    There are restrictions as to which level/license can be allowed to diagnose, usually specific diagnoses are restricted however certain insurances (especially government insurance plans, like Medicare and Medicaid) will not allow certain licenses to diagnose.

    For example, an LMFT (licensed marriage and family therapist) may not be allowed to diagnose A if the patient uses Medicare but a LPC (licensed professional counselor) is (I might have those backward). Still other diagnoses require more advanced degrees (usually a PsyD/PhD aka psychologists) to run the tests required for said diagnosis.

    It also depends on the setting. In a hospital setting, usually the psychiatrist (MD/DO) will diagnose while the therapist will not.

  • My mom is decent at cooking, she can follow a recipe and even make a few things on the fly. However she doesn't believe in salt or anything "exotic" (which could be something nearby, like Cajun seasoning)

    Dad is decent at grilling, he's more agnostic when it comes to salt. He changes his mind about what he likes and what he doesn't like, sometimes within the same meal, so it's really hard to cook for him.

    I will eat pretty much anything, but I rarely get to explore new foods or revisit foods my parents deem "exotic" or "salty"

    Unfortunately this includes specific brands/types of food and seasonings/condiments. For example, French's is the only type of mustard that tastes good. Heinz is the preferred ketchup. Hellmann's, the mayo. God forbid someone buys the salt that doesn't have the girl with the umbrella on it. Most veggies are preferred frozen, definitely never canned. Steak HAS to be "fresh" and at least 1.5" thick (or something). No preseasoned meats, those are too salty. Don't get the wrong butter, it's too salty. Don't tell them you're making chili and then give them white chicken chili. Beef, pork, or chicken ONLY. Anything else is "gamey"/disgusting/weird. Only use yellow onions. Don't make mashed potatoes with anything other than russets. Unless they're instant, then it HAS to be the red potatoes. But not the seasoned packets. Don't bake anything with bacon wrapped around it. But, please bake the bacon instead of frying it in a skillet. No turkey, especially not ground turkey. Unless it's Thanksgiving, then you have to bake one. With stuffing. But not that stuffing. Simply Orange orange juice ONLY. And it has to have pulp. One brand/type of coffee ONLY. Unless it's instant, then get this other one. No boxed wine, yuck! Except when the doctor tells them to drink wine, then they MUST have it because the other wines are too dry/bitter/sweet/????. No Asian food. EXCEPT that one dish we had that one time 10 years ago, that was good, what was that again? Mexican food is DELICIOUS, but only from this one restaurant, and it has to be the fajitas, a burrito, or a few tacos. But not fish tacos. And certainly not street tacos - they're too small. Unless my sibling wants street tacos, then everyone LOVES them. Oh, and we LOVE Italian food, but only if it's regular spaghetti noodles or penne pasta. None of that rigatoni spiraly shelly shit. Unless it's pasta salad - then it has to be the multicolored spirals. Or mac and cheese - then it has to be the mini shells. And only KD. None of that Velveeta crap.

    ...I could go on, but I fear I have revealed too much lol

    save me

    Fun times!
