i feel like the point is that you have to take the uncertainty into consideration. you are gambling on what kind of bear or what kind of man and so the question is, which one, of unspecified danger, would you rather choose?

and so, since there is uncertainty baked in, it's basically demonstrating that women are, generally, more familiar or wary about the dangers of men than bears (there's a lot more one could say here, but this is basically the point i wanted to make)

do you keep your supervisor's numbers?

i would say they describe two separate axes. "agender" is how much you identify with gender at all, whereas "gender non-binary" describes your experience of gender, when/if you have it (which is quite a broad term, with the only definition being "not the binary experience of being a a man or woman")

to elaborate, there are other terms e.g. "demigender" or "genderflux" that describe different points on the "how much do you identify with having gender at all" axis (these are like, partially identify with having gender, but not totally)

so one could be agender or demigirl/boy depending on how much they relate to gender and what they feel their gender is when they do, for example (usually, in this type of situation, someone can still be classified under the bigger umbrella of "agender", even if they do experience gender sometimes)

(also, the terns might seem like a lot, but a) they're not super important, and b) they're mostly learning root words and modifiers, e.g. "a" is "without", and "gender" is... gender. "demi" is some, "flux" is... flux, etc)

you don't have to use this label, but a commonly understood word for this is "agender". just wanted to let you know about it, in case you didn't know

i believe this is the game of life? basically, each square represents whether it's alive or not (white = dead, black = alive), and each frame (image, in this case), each square decides whether it's alive or not depending on the squares around it according to some rules i forgot but should be covered in the link

do you normally have your supervisor's phone number?

i'm totally fine providing references, i'm drowning in those. but i haven't been on such good terms with my supervisors. which... i do sort of prefer. power relationship in the workplace and all

(i wasn't on BAD terms with them, just not "i have your phone number" terms)

do you... keep your supervisor's numbers after you leave a place?

last place i worked, i never even met the lady

 

been applying to a lot of jobs, in my career field and otherwise, and a lot of them are asking if they can contact my previous supervisors. they cannot, because i do not have any way to contact them myself LOL but is this really normal?? who is actually calling those people? is this affecting hiring decisions??

ouhhh i didn't realize it worked to browse, also. thanks!

any chance that someone could source this for a guy who doesn't use the nazi hell site?

i feel like this comment is actually rooted in concern that talking about suicidal ideation increases it, and, while i don't have studies to support it, talking about it certainly doesn't increase the actual rate of suicide, and i believe openly talking about it lowers the barrier to people being able to get help when the thoughts actually become dangerous

certainly, at least i've heard from plenty of people who deal with these sort of thoughts, that not being able to express them can isolate and distance them further from their friends and community (a notably more dangerous situation). so, while the increase in dialogue about suicidal ideation makes me sad, i'm at least happy that it's increasingly normal for people not to suffer in silence

but as an aside, gatekeeping suicidal ideation is crazy lmfao

 

asking for the boy i'm in love with... he's been enjoying the CCTV view of four ambient / background yt vids at once, but tonight yt started asking him to sign in to confirm he's not a bot and effectively blocking him from using them (it works for him on yt proper bc he's signed in, but not through the sites that allow. multiple vids)

i'm not sure an alternative frontend would help, but i figured i'd ask if any of them had support for multiple videos? i think the proper solution will just to get him on a VPN but i figured i'd ask

asked here because i wasn't sure where else would be appropriate ๐Ÿ˜… thanks in advance

 
 

wasn't sure where else to put this, since, while chronic, this definitely doesn't qualify for /c/chronicillness LOL (idk how to link communities sorry)

(post tone: lightly frustrated, somewhat comedic description of problems and viewpoints; i swear a lot in my normal speech, but i'm not pissed or anything)

i've been dealing with nasal/sinus issues for over a decade: i've had a couple surgeries for it, i'm currently doing braces, which is fixing the underbite situation and helps with nasal drainage, and i'm on a good amount of allergy meds to mitigate the situation

the doc i had ten years ago and the doc i just saw today told me the same thing: rinse my nose with saline twice a day

now, if i was willing to do that, i wouldn't be seeing a doctor. i know that i can simply waterboard myself persistently enough and the problem will go away

my issue is that i need to flush my sinuses at all to be a functional person (thankfully, on the current routine, it's maybe a few times a week, vs twice a day)

i should have talked about this in more detail with the doc, and i'll see him again after some allergy testing and talk about it more then (i needed a minute to compose myself ๐Ÿ’€); but i mostly wanted to get a survey of other folks with these issues: do y'all just fuckin live with rinsing your nose out twice a day?? i been doing it for a decade, i know how to do it correctly, i just HATE DOING IT, i cannot imagine doing it 2x a day willingly

(if you're wondering what part of the process i hate, it's all of it; having to bank distilled water, dealing with either cold water in your congested nose (shitty) or having to heat up the water to the right temp to be warm but also not burn the shit out of your nasal passages (pain in the ass), and then having to clean a shitload of salt water out of your face because why the fuck would it drain out cleanly)

 

got my consult for FMS recently and i was told something interesting: apparently, if i hadn't used braces to straighten my bite, we could have done surgery to bring the jaw forward (and improve my jaw/chin), instead of doing an implant (which i will now have to do)

kind of hit me like a "how the fuck was i supposed to know", but maybe this advice will come in handy for one of y'all
