Scoutabout and Scootums are both VERY good, we might have to start using those! ๐Ÿ˜

Scout

Who 99% of the time is Scooty.

She's occasionally called: Scootybutt, Scooterella, Scoots, Scootyscoots*, Scuttles, Scuttlebutt, Scoutster (only ever used by my mom lol), Scootypuff Senior (a la Futurama, but she's too old to be Junior. Scooty is 12.)

(*Edit: I should add that when using this one, it's always pronounced as "ScootySCOOOOOOOOOOOTS" in imitation of our friend who coined this while drunk.)

We pretty much only call her Scout at the vet

~~I'll add a picture when I get another break from work~~

Edit: pic tax

Looking guilty after I caught her licking a plastic bag

Asking for attention/if she can steal my chocolate croissant

"Helping" me work from home

What's Boris hanging out on top of? I'm intrigued ~~but~~ by the shape lol

Also, love a girl cat with a classically male name. I had a roommate with a fat orange cat named Leroy. Leroy was a girl ๐Ÿ˜ (Leroy was also a big sassbutt.)

  1. Get off your high horse of weed being healthier than prescription medication.

  2. I'm not a doctor (but clearly neither are you) but I doubt you actually have ADHD... Weed exacerbates my ADHD symptoms. Attempting to treat my disability with weed would NOT work for me.

  3. Let's say you're correct and you do have ADHD and vaping a sativa strain really does help you. Well everyone is different and not every medication or treatment program is going to be a solution for everyone (for any condition, not just ADHD.) So either way, gtfo of here with the attitude that weed is the only solution anyone could possibly need and all of us are just victims for thinking otherwise.

I think state regulations might vary. Where I am, every three months I HAVE to have an appointment to get a refill prescription for my Adderall. But fortunately my psych is still doing virtual appointments, which is a lot less disruptive to my workday.

Your use of "chemist" makes me think you're out of the US.

Most ADHD meds in the US are "controlled substances" and that means our doctors can only prescribe up to three months at a time. After three months we have to have a follow-up appointment, then they can prescribe three more months of meds.

Plus the federal government decided that too many people were taking medications like Adderall. So their "solution" was to instate a cap on how much Adderall manufacturers can make. Which means there's now a national shortage of Adderall. And that shortage means folks with ADHD are frequently going without their meds entirely or are forced to call multiple pharmacies in the area to ask who has their meds in stock. (My health insurance through work requires me to use a mail-order pharmacy because it means cost savings for them. But that means I don't have the luxury of shopping around different stores to see who has my meds in stock - at least, not to fill the prescription through insurance and get the lower price. So if the mail order place is out, then I'm screwed.)

Our healthcare system is so fucked.

If anyone knows where to buy one of these decals, please let me know. My parents bought a Tesla several years ago because of environmentally friendly ambitions and I'd love to get them one of these decals. I tried to Google it but "car logo decal" wasn't getting me results like this meme shows.

Apparently it was first identified in Labrador, Canada. Which I didn't know until your comment inspired me to find out where the name comes from, so thanks!

Sorry this isn't a dog comment either

Our girl has favorite spots in the house too. She tends to favor one spot for a little while, so she'll spend almost all her time hanging out there but then get bored and switch to a new spot. I recently named this phenomenon "Spot of the Week" lol

I'm really just here for the memes y'all

I don't think lemmy.world would be a good home for 196 so I'm glad that onehundredninetysix was created. But I haven't yet been convinced to abandon ship on the original 196 yet and unsubscribe. (Insert Mean Girls "I wish we could all get along like we used to in middle school" scene playing in my head...)

Anyway when I'm scrolling through my feed, the posts from both communities are labeled as coming from "196" even if they're coming from onehundredninetysix. I have to click into the post and then to the community to tell which it's coming from.

Which is all to say: no one call me a traitor for enjoying a meme regardless of which community it's posted in, okay? I otherwise followed the rule. Thanks

 

I don't think my lurking counts as breaking the rules, I'm just fulfilling my commitment late.
