Really? I just get an immediate login wall on mobile.

From what I’ve heard, it’s less that the actual employer cares and more the the employer gets a discount on their insurance rates if they drug test employees.

My actual mortgage payment is probably just under $500. Taxes and insurance just put it at about $1000. I bought a nearly crack den quality fixer upper about 6 years ago in a moderately low COL area. In the truely low COL areas I imagine you might still be able to manage the same pricing today. It’s probably doable, just not anywhere most people want to live or with a house that doesn’t have a bunch of issues.

Same ish. I’m pretty sure I was the mythical 8 the night I decided to eat most of a dominos meat lovers pizza as my first meal after getting home from getting my gallbladder removed. I stayed a 7 on and off for most of a year until my body got used to not having a bile sac anymore. But now I am once again rocking an even split between 3 and 4.

What they don’t want you to know is that muslims become immortal while in the US military.

Reddit had great HVAC and Refrigeration subs that I miss. The HVAC com here is basically completely inactive. Honestly there are so few tradies on lemmy, it would be nice to just see all the tradie coms consolidated into one so there is some activity.

Pretty sure there is a bpd community.

Edit: There are two but one hasn’t been active in more than a year. This one is the most active. https://lemmy.world/c/bpd

Or maybe it’s sarcasm between partners you fun hating turnip.

Don’t destroying angel mushrooms basically stop your body from making proteins? That’s roughly the same net effect as RNA stopping working so it should give you a pretty good approximation.

There are pros to working in my field for femboys though. For one example, regularly lugging an 80lb pack of tools up and down roof access ladders has given me calves and thighs that could make a person weep. Femboys are also typically better equipped for working in confined spaces. Additionally, having ready access to a hardhat, hi-vis vest, clipboard, and toolbelt enables so many crimes. I can also see some of my hi-vis workwear having serious potential as club wear with a bit of modification.

I tried the nail polish thing but I work with too many chemicals that strip paint for it to last more than a day. Rings are also a big no no in my job because I work with electricity. I guess I could do eye shaddow but my eyelids are naturally dark enough that I’ve already been accused of wearing it before.

Skirts on the otherhand would be excelent for keeping me cool. Just might not be great for my coworker following me up the roof ladder.

I’m not autistic (that I know of) (Edit: Just realized this is in the ADHD com not the autism com. No idea why I thought that. I do actually have ADHD) but I do have issues with light sensitivity so I’ll often wear sunglasses inside bright buildings. If anyone asks I just tell them my eyes are extra sensitive to light. Nobody’s really said anything about it after that. Most people honestly DGAF about what you’re doing, they’re just curious and sating that curiosity is enough. Those that do actually care and would make a stink over nothing are relatively rare and aren’t worth your time or attention.

hehe

That one is excelent for starting fires in survival situations though.

Saying that ADHD makes you smarter is bullshit. However there are definitely tasks that ADHD can make you better at which is likely what this person was refering to. There’s a reason a lot of the best repair techs I work with have an ADHD diagnosis or show clear symptoms despite having never sought out a diagnosis. ADHD can make you really good and forming connections between different ideas that most people wouldn’t be able to do as quickly which can help with, for example, diagnosing issues in complex systems. However if you ask those same people to perform a basic task thoroughly and in a standardized fashion then we’re usually going to be way worse at it than the average person. It’s literally just being differently abled.

For example, when I’m off my sweet sweet prescription speed, I can narrow down and locate issues in a building wide automation system in a couple of hours where other techs spent all day trying and failing to find it. But at the same time, when I’m off my meds, cleaning an ice machine can take me 6 hours where one of our neurotypical techs would easily have it done even better in under 3 hours and I will have no idea what I spent all that extra time on because I will have felt like I was rushing the entire time.

Some people see being able to do complex troubleshooting quickly as beeing “smart” but it’s really just a different skillset. You could call me “smart” but I literally need regular doses of amphetamines just to be able to do the most basic prioritization like paying bills on time, and cleaning my house so I personally wouldn’t say that I’m particularly “smart”.

Then it sounds like HVAC/Refrigeration it the trade for you. It’s kind of funny because we tend to get all the people who dropped other trades for various reasons. I work with ex plumbers who didn’t want to deal with shit, I work with journeyman electricians who didn’t want to spend 8 years becomming a master electrician, I work with ex building automation guys who got tired of trying to automate busted equipment. A lot of my coworkers started in other trades, went “This fucking sucks” and switched to HVAC-R.

Turn my micro plastics into one of the old mc donalds coke spoons when I die and have everyone at my funeral use it to take a bump of my ashes.
