I'm a five. Just living my suspiciously round life

Oh, yeah. I didn't mean to imply that getting a job with a disability is easy or that employers actually follow laws. I was more trying to point out that a personality disorder is a disability, because most people won't see it that way

I remember similar articles back in '17 or so, mostly because I reached out to a few friends warning them not to track their periods on apps. There were threats of charging women who miscarry with murder back then, too

My therapist told me that a diagnosis of a mental health disorder means you have a disability*. So if they choose not to hire you because of your ASPD diagnosis, in the US at least, that's discrimination against a protected class. I have AvPD, and that was a concern for me too

*(although many disorders don't always earn the label "disability" when a person is seeking benefits)

I don't understand what he means by it "has not been a very successful experiment". What does he think the goal of FEMA was? If it's failed people, it's because it keeps getting whittled down in the face of larger and more expensive disasters

I'm 5'3 (160cm) and feel like I am invisible to trucks when I'm in a parking lot. It also feels like they've doubled their height (or more) over the last ten-15 years

High pH is basic btw. I'm assuming you meant low pH with the reference to soda

My acid reflux has nothing to do with acidic or basic foods, and everything to do with the ratio of fat I've eaten or how many alcoholic drinks I've had in an evening. Beer is about a hundred times less acidic than soda (for reference) and soda doesn't set my reflux off

My point is that human bodies are weird and we react in weird ways to food. That's why we have to trial foods

I am going to ask a really silly question: Have you tried using a panty liner? (yes, the period product!) They tend to make panties a little more structured while still allowing for natural movement, and I assume it will help with a gaff too

I'm not sure about that, but the reply a little down that says people will get voluntold to attend if not enough are willing sounds probable. I served under Dubya and had a similar experience. I usually just volunteered for watch when something like that happened lol

The dichotomy of people falling asleep and the guy who thought he'd be so entertained he brought popcorn is wild
