Omg very similar here! My best friend, who lives oversees now, is coming to visit for 3 weeks. It’s been about 2 years since I’ve seen him. If I didn’t know him, I wouldn’t think it possible for another human to understand me on such a fundamental and intuitive level as he does. I’m stoked!
Interesting, where are you? It’s more or less the opposite here (Austria). Hospitals will let you wait for ages (like 2 hours, possibly even more if it’s particularly busy) if you walk in with something that doesn’t require immediate treatment and/or their more advanced machines, and they’ll tell you you shouldn’t waste emergency resources for that stuff. I’m talking about COVID or the flu or things like that as a healthy young adult. But GPs will always take walk-ins for immediate issues. Mine has a wait time of 10-30 mins for walk-ins.
Wait is it normal to need an appointment for a GP visit?
Mostly things that fall under the category of women not being able to be a threat/dangerous. Especially white women, which im usually read as.
This includes everything from talking to children in public to actual minor crimes like shoplifting.
ETA: this is in fact a prime example of how sexism is mean to everyone. Women are not dangerous because they’re weak, men are dangerous because they’re strong. Neither is generally true.
I’ve silently cried in public many many times and nobody ever bats an eye. If your town is over a certain size, people tend to prefer to mind their business.
My mum at least asked ‘do you learn about this stuff in school?’, to which i awkwardly said yeah. We did get some pretty good classes on bodies, the biology of reproduction, and contraception. I even remember having a test on contraceptives in biology class.
Unfortunately, it was very cis-het only. I had to figure out by myself that I should be using protection during sex even if both participants had a vulva.
As for drugs, it never occurred to my mum that anything other than alcohol and nicotine could be relevant to us. She did well on keeping me from smoking just by telling me about her experience as a smoker and how hard it was to quit. I kept my drinking and weed smoking from her pretty well because even a mention would make her angry. To be fair, as an adult I understand she had some trauma from her mum being an alcoholic.
Where I live it is, because of local-ish soy production. Also helps that it’s a complete protein, so you don’t have to think as much about which amino acids you’re getting from where.
Man where were you 8 years ago when I ate zero protein because I didn’t know it could be cheap. Couldn’t afford animal products and was conditioned to believe those were the only viable source of protein.
Btw I’d like to add textured vegetable protein to the list! It’s one of my go-tos nowadays.
Semi related, but my mum likes to pretend she doesn’t know what ‘Netflix and chill’ means. She keeps saying it to people. One time I said mum please google that phrase. She said she’s well aware of the meaning and just likes to see people’s reactions.
My friends and I still quote Monty Python to each other. Embrace tradition.
The youngest millennials aren’t even 30 yet, and there’s lots of places where most people have children in their early 30s nowadays
To add: drink water throughout the day in general. Especially where tap water is safe to drink. You’re going to pass up the opportunity to improve your health and daily wellbeing, easily and for free? WHY?
Random side note. I actually prefer room temperature water. Sensitive teeth. And i try to keep my backpack as light, so it’s a one layer water bottle for me.
I’m so glad I don’t want kids in the first place. Must be heartbreaking to want them and not be able to have them.
I just lost my job due to some bigger firm buying the place. I’ll honestly prefer to live at the office (I have one at uni where I’m doing an unpaid thesis) or a friend’s couch again (like I did after a breakup) than move in with family. Everyone’s family dynamic is different.
That said, you don’t need friends to find roommates. There’s websites and social media groups to find them, usually. Have you considered moving a bit further away, where there’s better job opportunities? Hope things get better for you

Where did all that splatter come from? Did it explode in the microwave? Or did you drop it onto the plate from like a metre above?
I meant that as in ‘everyone should be pro creating safe bike lanes’. Sorry I wasn’t clear
I mean, getting hit by a bike hurts, but it doesn’t kill you. Still, I’m not a fan of people endangering and inconveniencing others so they themselves can be safer either. But that’s what people are like. That’s one of the reasons everyone should be pro bike lane, even if they don’t cycle.
My room is a nightmare of a mess and I’m not a drug dealer. We exist
I’m not neurotypical at all, you can’t tell with a lot of us if you don’t talk to us
