I started out real good, but dinner is popcorn, diet coke and peanut butter mnms

Mine is this cheeseburger quesadilla with cherry hots. I used to force myself to always eat different things and vegetables etc etc but it’s been really nice this past year to give myself permission to let go of some of that and let myself off the hook to eat what I want without judgment

My lofi isn’t cutting it today, but my podcast is pulling too much of my attention so I can’t think on my work. I need that sweet spot of interesting enough to quiet my mind but boring enough that I can ignore it and think on my work. Gonna look for a history documentary on Carthage or smth

I need to eat something or there will be Consequences™ but the Good Foods© are now Bad. 😭 Safe food limbo is my deepest fear

As much a I loathe the phone, and have such terrible success rate at getting what I want via phone conversation to major corporations, when something is not right I will waste hours (on hold mostly) as they pass me around department to department hoping I’ll give up. Jokes on them because I won’t give up. But ultimately...

I’ve had this question in my brain for weeks and I don’t know where to put it. I guess I chose here because maybe someone else has had this same question and found answers. Maybe it’s a stupid question actually....

I read this article this morning and here are some highlights I think you’ll appreciate...

I’m paying for the low deductible insurance at my company (higher cost, supposed to be better benefits). I made an appointment for diagnostic assessment at the beginning of the year, their next available appointment was SEPTEMBER 30. They called me yesterday with the estimated cost to me after insurance (I mean nice that they...

Not sure how to word this… But who should I be following in terms of battery/energy storage research and development companies? I’m less interested in start ups and more interested in bigger companies who are investing heavily in R&D

I’m feeling really excited and hopeful and nervous. I found an awesome doctor who is not part of some huge corporate medical conglomerate, is LGBTIQ+ safe and is relatively knowledgeable and accepting of Neurodivergence! I could cry. Only an hour away from me (lolsob) but is open to telehealth if a physical exam is not...

I just spent way too much time tracking down how to report a scam on Amazon to Amazon and the FTC and then reporting it and writing a review to tell people how to report it for a $6 can of cat food that I personally did not order ever. 🥴😅💀✊😂😂😂

I’m thinking about credit/debit cards, but I’m sure there’s more I haven’t considered.

Today’s new accommodation is a set of (crappy) shelves by my key hook next to the door so I can put stuff that needs to go to the car....

Instagram reel transcript: “So you know how autistic people just talk and we literally mean like exactly what we say?”...

I recently asked for recommendations elsewhere regarding a cost-effective phone with the best camera that’s a reasonable price. Almost unanimous recommendations for a Pixel a couple years old. I’m a total noob for privacy stuff but joining Lemmy under the dbzer0 instance, I’m feeling more motivated to learn more and get...

It’s still my favorite tho, thank you for everything you’re doing and I know it’s going to keep getting better
