Idk how old OOP is, but I'm almost 30 and I never got a polio vaccine. My mum was very diligent getting me vaccinated too, I got all the whoopng cough, measles etc. shots. Even got tuberculosis for some reason, but polio was considered so near extinct that it wasn't on the list.

(thanks for making me check my vaccination passport to confirm this btw, found out this way that I need to get something refreshed)

If 250ml of garlic sauce is a menu item, someone likely conceived of this ahead of time.

You are 100% the person this post is about, and 100% American. Those are 100% of the relevant percentages.

My mum used to work in a town where they make a kinda popular chocolate in middle Europe, like small step up from store brand type stuff (milka, in case anyone's faniliar). She'd always bring home their factory shop 'mystery chocolate' that was very openly literally this: the bars right after they'd switch flavors, and they would be a non predictable mix between the two. I loved that stuff more than the actually store bought chocolate as a kid because you'd genuinely never know what you'd get. They came in these super non distinct plain white wrappers too, which added to the charm.

Tangential, for ambulance cost only.

Once a year, I get a sort of info letter that lists every bill my healthcare has paid for me that year. So, I know what medical costs actually are in my country where healthcare prices aren't being artifically inflated by healthcare being privatised.

I had a short ambulance ride in 2020. It was billed for about 90€. That's what it would actually cost if they couldn't charge whatever tf they want due to privatised healthcare.

One of the most disappointing facts when learning English was how many different animals are just called goat or deer

Idk how general it is, but for my uni acc 2fa you can simply get a USB stick with tokens on it. Friend does the same for their e-id to avoid linking it to their phone number.

Nobody tell them that Norway and Switzerland also participate in Erasmus. Not to mention it's far from the only way to get a study visa. Or that it usually only lasts about twice as long as the max tourism visa (3 months).

Love my job. Still wouldn't spend a second doing it for zero pay.

Half of these are still in use simply because some people think they're cool, or when someone prefers to not have to rely on technology (e.g. paper maps don't run out of electricity while you're on a long hike).

Im in the EU thankfully, it's not legal to record strangers (except like, a crowd where you can't make out individuals that well). They may be watching me from the window, but they don't talk like village folks do.

 

Fast alles, was ich dort kaufe, führt die deutschsprachige Zutatenliste unter 'AT/CH' auf. Hat mich nur mal milde interssiert.

 

With other neurodivergents, I feel like we explain what we mean in more detail. If not that, the other one recognizes the lacking detail, asks about it, and it gets cleared up.

When I talk to neurotypicals, or read or hear them discuss among themselves, this doesn't happen as much. When I ask, it's often seen as rude.

Here's some examples of what I mean:

There's a lot of ackshually, x is a fruit/berry/not a berry/ etc. When in fact, the terms each have two definitions: a culinary one and a botanical one. A strawberry is a berry in the culinary sense, but not the botanical one. A tomato is a fruit in the botanical sense, but not the culinary one. Ive repeatedly been called a know-it-all for bringing this up, and ironically usually by the person correcting others by saying, eg., a tomato is a fruit.

'Do(n't) you trust me?' I may 100% trust your intentions, but I don't 100% trust your judgment. This has nothing to do with you; I never 100% trust anyone's judgment, including my own. This happens the other way around, too, when I ask someone for feedback about a decision I'm making, and they say they trust me and thus won't give input. Like, thank you for trusting my intentions, but I don't want you to blindly trust my judgment. That's why I'm asking for feedback.

Another one is respect. Sometimes, to respect someone means to accept them as an authority figure, and sometimes it means to treat them with basic human dignity. It's hardly ever specified which it is.

I could go on here, so please feel free to add your own, I'm curious!

Do you also find this to be an issue with as well as among neurotypicals or am I way off here? Thanks for you replies!

 

And what language and region is it?

I've noticed my language teacher uses the informal you in one language and the formal one in the other.

 
 

I can sew and darn, and knit from scratch, but I've never re-knit a hole before.

 

I'm so bored of just watching shows, but I'm kind of out of ideas of what else to do when I'm tired (usually about half the day, sometimes al day). I don't even have any one super debilitating disease, but I have like a dozen small things going on that kind of rule everything out.

Hand-to-elbow tendonitis keeps me from what I used to enjoy that doesn't require a lot brain power (drawing, gaming and sewing). I know tendonitis is supposed to resolve more or less on its own, but it's been five years and I have no reason to believe it'll go away at this point.

Socializing drains me, I have to do it in small doses.

I used to run, but I have arthritis iny knees now. I swim for exercise, but that's not relaxing at all, because the pool is sensorily overstimulating. I'm actually only supposed to do low intensity exercising for cardiovascular reasons. But I put up with it because of how much it benefits my mental health.

I also have endocrine orbitopathy, and reading often makes me too aware of the pain in my eyes. I tried audiobooks, but I have ADHD and can't keep attention at all when I'm just listening to something.

I love to hike, but I'm kinda scared to get back into it because I need to be close to a bathroom, and that's kinda putting me off.

So, what do you do to unwind? For fun? Not even necessarily looking for advice, I'd just love a chat with people who have similar struggles.

 

In case you were wondering how media in different countries assess the US' situation, one of Austria's most read newspaper did a cover story on the Kirk assassination, describing it as the US edging closer to civil war. Apologies that it's in German, I've translated the title at least.

 

I realise there's zero posts in this com but figured I'd try. Wanted to censor their handle, but it's the cherry on top of the comment.

 
 

Routine for reference:

AM: rinse, sunscreen (that online moisturisers enough) PM: cleanse, sometimes BHA (tried varying the frequency), retinol, moisturise

I've become frustrated because I still get clogged pores, every single pore on and beside my nose is black, my entire chin is white gooey pores. So I eased off and put the BHA and retinol on hiatus, and the painful cystic pimples came back, along with even more clogged pores. I really need them gone to keep me from picking at my skin.

So, anyone else been there?

Anyone got any tips? Yes, I wash my pillowcases, sleep enough, drink enough (if anything too much) water, eat well.

 

I have no idea how I fucked up and had this compressed so much, it's OC and still ended up this blurry

 

Hey fellow enbies!

Does anyone here have experience with binders? Specifically, do they permanently alter the shape of your chest? I like my naked body and view is as gender neutral, but I'd like to be READ as more neutral while wearing clothes sometimes. So I want to bind in a way that won't alter how my naked body looks. What's your experience with that?

Thanks!
