I had something similar, but instead it was feeling full and nauseous with just a few bites. Food smells were the worst, and can still trigger nausea for me. I never really got around to figuring out the cause because I was bad at getting healthcare for myself. But it cleared up, weirdly, around the time I had my wisdom teeth taken out. I got my life back after that, and I hope you do too very soon.

Wishing you the best and hope you get some answers with your upcoming visit.

Sitting in a big cardboard box with my wife and closing the flaps. We were both very stressed at the time and it just felt very cozy and quiet in there.

If I had the room I would have kept it. Instead I bought a foldable pop-up tent to try to recreate the feeling, but it’s just not the same.

For me at least, it’s that I can’t do anything of substance until the scheduled thing is over. I can’t even start the video game while waiting because I’m worried I’ll get too engrossed and forget about the thing I have to go to later.

I watched Kirikou in my high school French class! I liked it, but being teenagers, there were many immature jokes about the nudity.

I worked at a high school doing IT. I kept student-returned laptops in a laptop cart. One day, to my absolute horror, baby cockroaches start crawling out of the cart, and infested my entire work area.

The cart was quarantined and treated by Terminix. After a while the cart was returned to me, and I had to sort through and clean/wipe all of them. I wish I could have just e-wasted the whole thing. Another round of hatching happened a few weeks later, from another laptop, but luckily I had put them in air-tight containers by then.

In a lot of the California schools I’ve worked at, they do teach these things. I think they are really great skills that I wish were taught when I was in school.

Unfortunately there’s a lot of conservative push back and a movement to get these topics out of school.

People are dying because of conservative policies but you think AI is more important than that. That’s sad. I would vote for you if your rights were being denied.

Why not vote for the sake of other people when their lives, health, and safety are on the line?

Why is it the most important issue for you?

These are grown adults in their 40s. You really think the mom should just forever be their maid? Even at the age of 75?

At some point they just have to take responsibility for themselves. Even if they have to, or want to live at home, they should absolutely be contributing if they are able bodied.

I think it goes the other way too. For people that tend to apologize too much, even when it’s not their fault, mixing in a “thanks for your patience” is a good way to balance it out a bit.
