Roasted

Until I got diagnosed 3 yrs ago I never understood why rejection hit me like a Mack truck. I beat the living crap out of myself for 60+ years over stuff like that. :/

Exactly.

Michael Phelps’s height, wingspan, and large hands and feet give him an advantage in swimming. His body also produces less lactic acid than his rivals, which shortens his recovery time. However, his success is also due to his dedication and hard work.

If they want everything “equal” then an athlete like Phelps should be taking drugs to raise the lactic acid in his system.

Chrome.

Nope. I will try that and see if it works tho.

Thanks for the head’s up.

Update … it took a while but that does work on Ghostery. Thanks again. :)

Nope. I use multiple browsers (DDG, Ghostery, Waterfox, etc) and none of them work.

I stopped using FF a while back. But if memory serves I wasn’t able to access gov’t sites with it either.

In order to access my tax and benefit accounts on the Government of Canada website I can only use Chrome … making sure to wipe all cookies, etc afterwards.

I freaking hate shite like this.

I tried meds right after diagnosis but they messed me up something fierce (awake for 36 hrs, etc). Guess my coping/masking was so ingrained that meds didn’t help at all.

Now I’m starting to heal from the burnout but still have issues when there’s too many people around (my brain gets overwhelmed).

TIL there was a 5M year old cold-blooded mammal that humans killed off (but ofc).

Today I was reminded that science grows as new discoveries are made.

But we still killed the little beasties off. Nothing has changed there.

Yup. Currently on my 4th burnout that’s lasted 3 yrs and counting (previous 3 were 1 yr each).

I just don’t have it in me to buck up and try to work again. :/

Saw 3 psychologists (one was a student) and they all blew me off because I was an older woman.

Finally got diagnosed two and a half years ago in my early 60’s.

AOC and Bernie should break off, start a new party and call it the Social Democrats … if for no other reason than that is what they espouse – a socially-conscious mandate that the government is to be there for the people, not the other way around.

I didn’t get diagnosed until I was in my early 60’s. I was so used to masking and using my bag of tricks that meds totally fucked my life up.

Had to stop after about 6 weeks of hell.

Sometimes I wish I’d been born later or born a boy cause either of those could/would have helped a lot.

Since Letterman is a millionaire I vote he starts the revolution, instead of trying to convince us to do all the work.

While grue may have said it rude and crude, they aren’t wrong.

The longer people mill about waiting for someone else to lead them - vs organizing, preparing, etc themselves - allows Trump and his syncophants more time to settle into power.

Wait too long and Americans miss their chance to shut this shit down.

Prove it!

Hellfire’s bitch.

Who do I trust?

A lying asswipe who wouldn’t know the truth if it slapped him in his orange face?

A man I don’t know that has been sent to a foreign nation’s prison for no reason?

Easy choice.
