Yep, my parents are also sadly in the school of "just take a pill for it," which then turns into taking more pills for the side effects of the pills they're taking, and on and on.

While I'm in the "make healthy lifestyle changes" camp and have, so far in my early 40s, never been on long term medication and hopefully never will. It's so frustrating watching my parents deteriorate while still paying for so many meds.

The little fuckers have given me PTSD. The toll they take on your mental health is real.

It's almost pornographic. I can't stop staring at it.

Did your cat write that?

Hmmm, the same might be possible in the book too:

Pippin felt curiously attracted by the well. While the others were unrolling blankets and making beds against the walls of the chamber, as far as possible from the hole in the floor, he crept to the edge and peered over. A chill air seems to strike his face, rising from the invisible depths. Moved by a sudden impulse he groped for a loose stone, and let it drop. He felt his heart beat many times before there was any signs. Then far below, as if the stone had fallen into deep water in some cavernous place, the came a plunk, very distant, but magnified and repeated in the hollow shaft.

'What's that?' cried Gandalf. He was relieved when Pippin confessed what he had done; but he was angry, and Pippin could see his eye glinting. 'Fool of a Took!' he growled. 'This is a serious journey, not a hobbit walking-party. Throw yourself in next time, and then you will be no further nuisance. Now be quiet!'

Nothing more was heard for several minutes; but then there came out of the depths faint knocks: tap-tom, tap-tom. ...

Yep. My paranoia makes me an excellent reviewer of other people's work at my job. It's from a lifetime of catching my own mistakes after some very hard lessons learned.

Look up "night shift belly." I did night audit at a hotel for a year and a half. By the end, I could only really stomach eating the kale salad from Whole Foods and not much else.

It also wrecked my social life and when I got sick, I got really sick, so I think my immune system was out of whack in general.

Like others have said, the commute is a dream. The shift itself is quiet with plenty of time to have deep conversations with any coworkers you may have, read, listen to podcasts, etc. It's like living in a different world.

I say give it a try, but listen to your body and find something else soon if your health is affected.

Quitting soda. Then much later, quitting sugar altogether.

I finally just blocked that community, since it was so spammy. That and 196. Nothing against either community. I just didn't want other stuff becoming buried under them. Now I'm seeing a lot more variety in overall posts.

It's our first (that I'm aware of) fediverse meta! Awww, look at how we've grown.
