Have you ever looked closely at a car windshield?

The edge of the glass is painted where it is glued to the car but it has these small dots between the clear and painted glass.

These are there for a reason. When the sun hits the glass the painted areas and the clear areas will absorb heat at different rates. This causes the glass to expand and contract differently putting stress on the glass.

These dots help the glass to warm up more evenly over a larger area so the glass does not suffer stress that could cause it to spontaneously explode.

Fun fact: the Tesla cybertruck doesn’t have these.

Yes, the glass will spontaneously crack or explode in the sun.

every time I mention how many days sober I am I appreciate people congratulating me and telling me to keep up the good work. it is nice. but I also wish that milestones in addiction recovery weren’t still so pinned to length of sobriety/abstinence

yeah yeah I’m 50 days sober who cares. how about the fact that, when I do drink, it tends to be nipped in the bud after two days nowadays instead of weeks or months? how about the fact that drinking has been condensed to a six pack because I’m at the end of my tether, instead of browning out every night? how about my friend who has decided to stop drinking alone, and is actually sticking to that? recovery doesn’t always look like sobriety and I wish it was more normal to talk about that. yknow. when addiction is normal to talk about at all

Sometimes people forget you need to have something in your hand to give it away to someone else

[lighetningdawn]

My parents would be so disgusted if I killed myself. I bet they’d rather have me home hooked on some stupidity than giving up my life, one they’ve struggled so much to obtain

[lighetningdawn]

So me and my depression are back! Yayyyy not that anybody cares but that’s exactly why I’m here wohoooo

Went out on a date with this guy I seemed to have been having the best time texting, legit thought he was the one but he obviously did not think the same. Cherry on top of the cake was, I’m pretty sure he wants me to stop eating cake forever lmao

Why do I always fall for the wrong guy man.. and this one’s a bit too embarrassing and sad to tell anybody else in my life, so here I am 😊

[fairycosmos]

i just don’t have the employable spirit

[sindri42]

It is entirely possible that you're just in the wrong field.

Like, a long time ago I did temp work, and it was terrible and it make me want to kill everybody in the room and then myself.

Then for a few years I did food service, and it was terrible and made me want to kill everybody in the building and then myself.

Then for a few years I did retail, and it was terrible and made me want to kill everybody in the state and then myself.

Now I move heavy objects into and out of cargo planes and honestly it's pretty great. I know what I'm doing and I'm good at it and it feels like I'm accomplishing things and I never have to interact with a single customer.

[cookingwithroxy]

I can say, honestly, the exact same thing. Only i went into other sections of moving objects and yeah.

Finding the right job makes everything so wonderful.

[such-justice-wow]

Id also argue its not just what but when

If youre a night owl genuinely consider never getting a job that starts in the morning. Having to wake up at 6am genuinely gave me a mental breakdown because i could not sleep before midnight and spent a year on 5 hours sleep a night

And if youre a morning person be nice to me

[powerburial]

buddy are you baking a cake or fighting off the damn terrifier, who's with me

[nonenosome2]

Are chefs ALSO known to have open sores while in the kitchen?

[such-justice-wow]

Pretty sure any one of those wounds should have had a plaster slapped on it before the next one could get to exist

Also youre bad at your job please work like at a carpet store

[nonenosome2]

I love that everyone agrees that this guy really needs to stop being a chef because they are so bad at it.

[such-justice-wow]

Every chef ive known has about that many scars...just not all at once

Did I just employ the "Treat Them Like You are A Kindergarten Teacher Again" method with my insurance company today? I surely did. Did it work? Probably better than intended because I made an actual doctor feel contrite.

So, my insurance has been trying to not cover my SNRI because it is new on the market and no generic available yet, so pricey.

I apply for a refill and the request gets locked for review. Again. For the 3rd time.

This time I call and immediately ask to speak to the actual doctor making these clinical decisions. Very politely. Must be a slow day because they allow it.

ME: [Teacher voice] I'm calling in regards to the SNRI you have placed a lock on. Why was this decision made?

DOC: Well, there are dozens of other medications on the market in that tier, and far cheaper for you and [insurer]. We have sent a request to your doctor to consider alternatives.

ME: I am aware of that. So, can you do me a HUGE favor and look up my prescription history really quickly and tell me how many SSRIs and SNRIs were only filled once in 2022 for me, showing they were poorly tolerated?

DOC: It looks like eight.

ME: Great job! Now, can you please look at my genetic test for psychiatric drug tolerance and tell me how many medications are listed in the safe category?

DOC: Two.

ME: Awesome! Now, can you tell me what type that other drug is that I'm not taking?

DOC: Yeah, totally, it's an MAOI.

ME: That's correct, you're really knowledgeable! Should I be taking something as dangerous as an MAOI with my other medications, or even just in general?

DOC: It's contraindicated for sure.

ME: It is! So true! So, last question since you've been incredibly smart and helpful. Is it less expensive for [insurer] to pay out for the medication knowing they already get a huge manufacturer discount anyway, or is it more expensive for them to pay for me to need potentially long-term inpatient psychiatric care?

DOC: I'll clear the code, ma'am and flag it as medically necessary. I'm sorry about this.

ME: I appreciate you SO MUCH. You have a great day now.

Can we talk about how in zombie shows/movies/books they always find a veterinarian and not a surgeon? Are veterinarians deemed more likely to survive the apocalypse?

[drferox]

Yup.

One of our professional skills is ‘not being bitten by patients’

We actually have a good broad knowledge base for both surgical, medical, and GP things

We’re used to improvising equipment because a lot of stuff is just not made for animals

Meat safety is part of our training

Our cars are often full of equipment, especially in mixed practice

We probably weren’t in the human hospital at the initial outbreak

Taylor Swift watching her ex on a location app because he forgot to turn it off I'm obsessed with you admitting that to the entire world.

[evermoredeluxe]

it actually kind of blew my mind that taylor talks about thinking of matty before actually breaking up with joe so openly because she could’ve easily omitted that part, but i think she wanted it all out in the world and be free of it. chloe or sam or sophia or marcus being about how they’ve known each other for a decade and they could’ve been together if not for his issues and other people they were with, and how to get her this time, he simply just needs to confess he loved her then and loves her now. and thinking about how she’s talked about the songs being made in the last two years (not one), and then thinking about fortnight and how she talks about him constantly just being there (and him knowing about her issues with joe), and then thinking about how in guilty as sin? she talks about him sending her “downtown lights” and telling her bad thoughts are not a thing because she didn’t actually sleep with him while being in her relationship, and then in florida!!!, her singing “they said i was a cheat, i guess it must be true”… now the morality of all of this is a different topic, but she just needed a clutch to be able to leave and she lays out the story and how sinister it was that he knew about the cracks and made his way through, and her admitting that she can’t be abstained of guilt because she let it happen is just so. raw and honest.

“And so I was out of the oven//And into the microwave//Out of the slammer and into a tidal wave” is actually the key to understanding the entire album and why it’s unclear which song is about which man

[speaknow]

As for “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me,” Swift revealed that she wrote the tune “alone, sitting at the piano in one of those moments when I felt bitter about just all the things we do to our artists as a society and as a culture.” “There’s a lot about this particular concept on ‘The Tortured Poets Department,'” she added. “What do we do to our writers, and our artists, and our creatives? We put them through hell. We watch what they create, then we judge it. We love to watch artists in pain, often to the point where I think sometimes as a society we provoke that pain and we just watch what happens.”
