I literally love and hate this comment.

Win win.

Generally speaking, snacks like Doritos or muffins are okay in moderation; we’ve all heard that before. But it is true. And kids also deserve treats/rewards to help build good work habits (Hell, so do adults).

Giving kids unfettered access to junk food AND adults not stopping them (be it parents or teachers alike) is the real problem here. Kids need to be taught right from wrong, especially when it comes to making healthy decisions (especially with food).

Do they need Doritos? No. Should they occasionally have them? Sure, why not? They’re kids.

Dang that’s awesome! I am genuinely happy that you got yours figured out. That gives me hope.

Define blurry vision. Not counting having to wear readers recently (past 3 years), sometimes my eyes get fatigued and become unfocused until I force them to focus again. I do sometimes get tension headaches (back of my head, usually behind my ears on both sides).

Thank you. Good info.

For anybody looking for the BP table.

I made up a spreadsheet of my past BP, weight, pulse, etc based on what was available in MyChart. Historically, I’ve had non-normal BP.

I also decided to buy a smart scale and smart BP cuff too, so I can take regular measurements. I’ve noticed MyChart didn’t always record my vitals (or maybe it was the docs didn’t always enter them); some docs just carried over the same vitals from previous visits. 🤦‍♂️

I am 48.

Using AI as a tool like any other is fine. It’s the blind trust that it can do everything for you that is problematic (not to mention the fact people hide the fact that something “they created” is AI). Just like with any other computer system: garbage in, garbage out.

I haven’t used Twitter in so many years (long before that shithead stepped through the doors holding a sink). 🤷‍♂️

Sometimes I do stuff that torpedoes my confidence so hard that, yes, I need to double check that 2 + 2 really does equal 3.

~Today I relearned how bad I am with (de-)soldering, and wasted money on some hall effect joysticks for my now-trashed xbox controller. If you need me, I’ll be in the corner crying.~

Those comments. 🤮

I did some reading since my comment, and I think my best bet is to focus on dietary changes; specifically adding more fiber to my diet. But thank you!

It’s simple really. White folk, especially old white men, have done so many bad things for so long that there really isn’t much legitimate good things that they can take credit for anymore. Add to that a systemic lack of accountability, and you get a lot of fragile egos that don’t understand that part of life is a) apologizing, and 2) sitting with and thinking about the things that make you uncomfortable. So instead, they prop themselves up by bringing other people down, and removing the legitimate accomplishments of the people that in effect demonstrate how inferior these white old men genuinely are.

~i.e. they lack emotional maturity, emotional intelligence, and empathy.~

Wise words!

So I have a colonoscopy next month, and I’ll be doing that super cleanse before. Will that effectively reset my gut biome? Or would I need antibiotics or something else?

Sounds like to me that you’re ignorant of what mental illness is and how it affects people’s judgment.

~But hey, you get to feel superior, so you’re good, right? 🤷‍♂️~

They also probably have a personal account that they can use as a discretionary fund for whatever they individually want to do.

Clothing: socks, underwear, or t-shirts.

The buttons I am referring to are on the sides of the phone and are physical buttons.
