  • Actually…weirdly enough, a majority of these cases of lung damage from vaping happened in 2019-2020. One of the most likely culprits of the outbreak is a chemical called vitamin E acetate, which was used as a thickening agent in weed vapes. I don’t think we’ve had many cases since the major outbreak.

    So it might not have been “vaping too much” so much as it was likely contaminated vapes.

    I don’t vape, myself. But there is always more background info to discover on these things.

    Yes and no. Washing machines only have the water level go so high for maximum fill loads. it’s honestly a disappointing level. You’d think they would have the capacity to fill water to the top of the drum, but in my experience they don’t. (Maybe old models do?) If you overfill your washer, it might not be able to clean off all the piss.


  • Holy fucking hell!! That looks terrifying! Glad you went to the doc! What do you think the infection was from??? Did you cut your foot somewhere?

    I just went to the doc for some weird clusters of blisters scattered across my right leg/foot, some of which had been painful. The urgent care said they looked like bug bites but they were taking forever to go away. My mom is a nurse and she said it looks like shingles. I’m traveling so it’s hard to go to a doc a this point. It’s been over a week and at least it doesn’t feel worse so I think I’m past the point of antivirals doing anything. Annoying this.



  • In general I would say I agree and owe my healthy weight mostly to this. Another thing that I would always do is instead of buying a regular family size bag of chips, I would buy the snack pack sizes. It’s a lot more expensive and more wasteful that way. But it’s easy to mindlessly consume half of a bag of family size chips. It’s less easy to mindlessly individually open 10 snack bags of chips.

    But goddamnit, food delivery apps are my vice. They just bring whatever you want directly to you. I guess at least with these I’m generally only ordering a single meal rather than a ton of snacks.

    Honestly I’m not even depressed but I just in general am a pretty lazy and easily tired person lol. I remember when I got my first full time job in my early 20s. Was my first time working 40 hours a week and I was like holy shit is every adult just tired all the time from this???




  • I’m sorry to hear that this is happening to you, OP. You can be a nice person without people taking advantage of you.

    The first thing is going to be to try to minimize the amount of toxic people in your life. If people are taking advantage of you, they aren’t your friend.

    The next thing you want to do is be firm and set boundaries. It’s not easy, but there are ways that you can try to express your needs. The DBT therapy skill called DEARMAN is a useful tool. Here’s a quick overview.

    None of this stuff is easy, but I believe in you. You can be nice and still have a nice life.
