I make significantly less at 100% rating than I would if I had been able to stay in my career since I was medically separated or if I was able to do the same thing as a civilian (easily over 6 figures). It's still much more than poverty level, but the $46k I'll get this year just can not compete with what I could have had.

I know that much of the value in my benefits is free medical though, and that adds up fast when you suddenly have pronounced weakness in half your body and doctors can't figure out why

When I was going through evaluation to start hormonal transition my primary care doc's nurse asked me to explain what non-binary is, and when I figured it out. I explained the things I told the doctor who evaluated me, thinking that if it was good enough for her, it should be good enough for this nurse.

My nurse told me I just hate the patriarchy and that's why I hate myself. Lol

My cats are fed in separate rooms for the same reason. I put a little collar activated flap on one door so the picky one could eat without my youngin sniping her food. He's still trying to figure out how to get in that room, I'm a little surprised he hasn't tried to brute force it yet lol

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Did one of the college interns write this?

I never understood why anyone local drove through it. Tourists I can understand, but it's a drive it once and "holy cow that was a bad idea" experience

I'm a five. Just living my suspiciously round life

I remember similar articles back in '17 or so, mostly because I reached out to a few friends warning them not to track their periods on apps. There were threats of charging women who miscarry with murder back then, too

I don't understand what he means by it "has not been a very successful experiment". What does he think the goal of FEMA was? If it's failed people, it's because it keeps getting whittled down in the face of larger and more expensive disasters

I'm 5'3 (160cm) and feel like I am invisible to trucks when I'm in a parking lot. It also feels like they've doubled their height (or more) over the last ten-15 years

High pH is basic btw. I'm assuming you meant low pH with the reference to soda

My acid reflux has nothing to do with acidic or basic foods, and everything to do with the ratio of fat I've eaten or how many alcoholic drinks I've had in an evening. Beer is about a hundred times less acidic than soda (for reference) and soda doesn't set my reflux off

My point is that human bodies are weird and we react in weird ways to food. That's why we have to trial foods

I am going to ask a really silly question: Have you tried using a panty liner? (yes, the period product!) They tend to make panties a little more structured while still allowing for natural movement, and I assume it will help with a gaff too
