Disturbed Guitarist Dan Donegan on Gout: “It’s Worse Than Giving Childbirth to Twins”
Gout sucks, but I’m pretty sure mothers everywhere are going to have something to say about his comparison. The post Disturbed Guitarist Dan Donegan on Gout: “It’s Worse Than Giving Childbirth to Twins&#
To quote two:
“If your workplace is dominated by extroverts who criticize those who prefer to work alone — or skip after-work cocktails — as “not team players,” it may inadvertently alienate gifted people.”
“there is no difference in conforming responses given to high- and low-pressure levels by introverts.”
It feels like they described #autistic me. Then again, I'm an #INFP ( / #Introvert) type of autistic, so it fits.
In addition, I experienced that “not team players” from some managers from a certain company years ago. I don't join after-work cocktails, or any party, and was branded as “not a team player” by some of those in position. I was actually very glad I did not because I later found out they force people to drink, and I can't because I have #gout (other than the fact, you can't make me drink if I don't want to).
Anyway. What about you, my fellow #ActuallyAutistics? Or, are you an extrovert autistic yet still find similarities from the article and studies mentioned in it?
순대 (soondae/sundae/sunde) is a type of Korean food made from innards and blood. The number one trigger for people with gout.
Here in the #Philippines we have something similar called #Dinuguan. A local food made from innards and blood.
So, similarly, when you visit the Philippines, avoid dinuguan if you have gout. If you still want to enjoy your vacation. 😋
As someone with gout, you need to be aware that #blood as food, and innards, is very common in many countries and cultures. Always ask, don't eat anything just because you don't want to be rude. Your #health and #fitness should be your number one concern.
Here in the Philippines, people will understand if you refuse. No one, let me repeat, no one, will take offence. We perfectly understand.
But if we do laugh because you refused, you should not take offence either. It's a friendly laugh, nothing else. We also laugh at each other if we don't like the taste of a certain food from a different region. Filipinos are just a happy bunch of diverse people.
