@lemmy.todayHopefully you are well enough to enjoy your day but sick enough to get out of obligations you didn't want!
Soany vegan ice creams.most seem to be coconut or oat milk based ime. SE of the old coconut-milk-based ones had a weird aftertaste imo (although it went well with mint ice cream). Not sure if they've fixed that or I've just gotten used to it? Either way, so many good vegan ice cream options available here at least... But price usually means I only get it if it's on sale.
Also was into pretty into Against Me! before the 2014 album when I didn't know she was trans and the 2014 album became my favorite album of AM! when it released (yet it wasn't until 2022 that my egg cracked). Also watched a couple of trans streamers and youtubers for a bit when I was an egg (a couple of which whom weren't out when I first started watching but came out before my egg cracked).
but I didn’t really know what it meant; I thought it was just crossdressing or something like that. I respected it though, I just thought it was something for “artsy people” and not someone like me.
I also didn't really know what being trans was or how many options were available. If I knew more about the diversity of being trans, I'd hopefully would have realized the label applied to me a lot earlier.
The "artsy people" comment reminds me more of how feel about furries than being trans though.
Pretty much still only cry while watching cartoons. But my left eye has tears now too, instead of just my right. Not sure I'd want to cry more often though - was already quick to get teary eye'd pre-E over cartoon and rather not have real reasons to cry.
Have always thought it a bad argument for the reasons others have said. Like, I didn't think it was a choice, but if it was, I'd choose to be queer. Just thought I unfortunately wasn't.
What do you count as military companies? Just things like Raytheon and Blackwater? Or do you include companies like Amazon and Kraft? If you're excluding companies like Google and MS from the MIC, you're greatly underestimating it...
It was really funny though, my climbing partner was like “how are you so calm right now” while I was figuring out the injury and plan to get home.
First responder training continues to pay off.
Being super-calm with an injury is fun. Like, when I snapped my collar bone, I called my mom and was like "hey, how's it going? What are y'all up to? And only after small talk been like, "I'm doing well, except... like... could you do me a favor?. Brother is on the way to pick me up, but could you find a place in-network for him to take me to? I'm lying on the side of the road with a shoulder injury" Always fun to get a reaction from that.
Hopefully its a speedy recovery and you have lovely people to slave around!
…it was the day before my birthday, so I insisted they didn’t keep me overnight (I think I got an n64 that year), so i just remember having a doctor set my arm while i was awake lmao i can’t believe he actually did it. i remember thinking the nitrous oxide they gave me did nothing, but i was determined to go home.
I once planned on having surgery and finishing moving out on the same day once. Fortunately planned ahead and basically had everything done before the surgery (just had to strap a small mattress to the roof after). Didn't plan on general anesthetic, but they insisted (just had a pin removed from my collar bone). Fortunately they were really light on it, so I was awake and out the door quickly.
Next time I was in the ER, I got out of GA by mentioning my sleep apnea. Got ketamine instead. They just were trying to pull my wrist back into place. Didn't work (ended up having actual surgery to get a plate installed at a later date, which I definitely wanted to be asleep for that and the surgeon said the ER was wasting their time trying to fix it non-surgically).
Last two times I broke a bones enough to need surgery (collar bone and wrist), I'd have described the pain as a 0-2 on scale of 0-10. Both times, I was waiting on the side of the road for like an hour and think the adrenaline largely wore off during that. The wrist injury was funny because someone came running to me to check if I was okay with an obviously shocked reaction to my face (I scraped my chin a little), but I was worried like my nose was broke or something based on their reaction but he couldn't communicate properly because he was too shocked. Once I realized he was over-reacting to a little blood, I pulled my sleeve up to check my wrist and it was very obviously broke and I was like "this is the kind of thing I'm looking for" kinda bluntly.
