Yeah I actually got put on zoloft recently, which has been quite good. I'm not seeing my psych for another few weeks, but I think I'm going to mention this to her next time hopefully. However, like I said, Risperidone stablizes me. I don't really know if I can go without it. As much as I hate it, it works. I don't think I can stay off the meds this time because it's provided so much. Even cuts down my T production, it really helps with growing gender dysphoria. But I really don't want to be on it. You can feel it dampening your emotions, turning you into an automaton

I'm still taking my zoloft, but there's this part of me that just wants to run away from everything. Risperidone stabilizes me, but anti-psychotics are so fucking heavy. They dissociate me so much, and I hate it. I'm tired of the dissociation. I also missed my visual noise. A lot. I don't think I ever wanted to be asymptomatic because it makes me feel like a fake. Risperidone also dampens all your dopamine receptors, so drugs (including alcohol) feel way weaker. It's somewhere between a form of self harm and wanting to just be me.

I knew that. I definitely knew that before reading this comment. I definitely didn't take this image at face value because I just took a dab.

Oh that's so fucking awful. Like other commenters said, it may be towed somewhere and just not on the paper. Insurance may pay for a rental depending on what insurance you have. If you have full coverage, they probably will. If you just have liability, you're SOL.

I want to meet the person who drives this so bad

I like all of Drayano's Pokemon ROM hacks. Essentially just puts all of the content you would want from a Pokemon game into it. All Pokemon catchable, more challenging trainers but not overwhelmingly so, side content the works. Storm Silver is probably the best one. If you've thought about replaying a Pokemon game, play the Drayano version of it

There's fucking Ortolan that is so shameful it's traditional to put the napkin over your head to hide what the fuck you're actually doing

Dropping an ironic "epic" is peak comedy

Missouri is fucking horrible as a whole. Kansas City is an engineering hotspot. Honeywell, NSC, McDonnell, with bullet factories being the best jobs available to working class people out here.

I was going to type up a whole bunch of shit, but honestly I'd rather hear from other Hexbears as an ultrabroke burgerlander.

I'd torrent a copy if I wasn't so ass at platformers. It sounds so fun but I'm so bad at them

I feel super bad being back so soon, but I got groceries for my family, budgeted everything so I'd be fine until my next paycheck (tomorrow). Then an unexpected subscription (PS plus I got so the kid would play something other than Roblox) came out of my account and took out the money I was saving for gas. I'm supposed to drive an hour out an hour back to drop off my kid tonight. I'm terrified of running out of gas on the way there or back. PM me for any payment info, I greatly appreciate it

Edit: A close friend was able to cover me this time, they sent me $20 and I'm repaying them $15 when I get paid tomorrow. I'll be fine for tonight. Thank you all so much for helping me, and people like me.

 

Can't post links here without doxxing myself, but the megachurch wannabe/president of one of the boards of education around here is finally being called out. I've known about unsavory things he's done in the past, but this is the first time one of his victims has come forward. And it was someone that I was relatively close to. I'm so glad to see him finally go down.

 

Working a minimum wage job makes money dissapear so quickly. I'm still living with my ex and providing for the kids, so I'm back to worrying about getting them fed now that they're back in the house. My cashapp is $thenewcashtag and my venmo is @thenewvenven

I appreciate everything

 

Been a rough week. Girlfriend broke up with me, and my hours have been cut even lower. I get paid tomorrow but I don't have food or anything to eat tonight. Even my can opener broke. My cashapp is $thenewcashtag I really appreciate it.

 

Just got a letter saying that I have a warrant out now for not paying a plates ticket. Crazy that they're willing to fuck up people's entire lives over 100 bucks but they are.

I've never touched a more broken piece of shit. Bought the game for my kid's birthday because he wanted Little Big Planet. We just got to the first hub world and I've already encountered multiple gamebreaking bugs. If you want to do co-op, the game will infinitely load if you do the first level with more than 1 player. The save data is constantly corrupting. There are multiple parts of said first hub world where you can get stuck and have to do a hard restart of the level. I can't believe I never heard anything about this game being a broken piece of shit when it released

 

Why is the universal children's instrument also universally horrible? Got right out of bed and instantly started playing it.

 

The biggest barrier I face in having fully vegan meals isn't meat, it's butter, lard, and other such flavorful fats. And flavor wise, I'm not okay with just using vegetable oil for everything. Neutral oil leads to neutral flavor. What oil do you guys add to your beans?

My foster kiddo's birthday is coming up soon, and we got a REALLY good deal on a PS4 for his birthday. I'm buying him used games to go with the console. I asked him to describe what kind of games he wanted and things he liked in games. He wants a split screen co-op FPS where he's able to hunt for rare loot. He wants a looter shooter that he can play with me. Also odd criteria, but he wants games that I'm good at because it's like "watching a ninja". He explained this, and Borderlands is the only game I can think of that has all of it. He didn't mention Borderlands by name, so it's not like I'd be saying no to anything on his list specifically. I'd settle for a co-op split screen FPS we could play, but there aren't very many of those on PS4.

Here is the issue I'm running into though. On one hand, this child is turning 9. He is just too young for Borderlands. However, this child has also witnessed multiple people die of drug overdoses, watched a million rated R movies with his mom, so censoring things feels weird. Like who am I to censor some middle school grade jokes when he's into morbid things as a result of seeing death his entire life? I'm thinking maybe we just make it a game where I have to play it with him if he wants to play? Any split screen game recommendations for us that may be more age appropriate?

Had to deal with a shitty coworkers microaggressions and I called her out on it. She immediately got defensive so I dropped it, but my non-binary coworker just walked by and said "cis people" and it completely flipped my mood around and made me laugh really hard.
