Sometimes you’ve just got to take the day

Flex that PTO, have fun with your significant other.

That’s what PTO is for, when you just have to take the day

The amount of times I’ve just decided to take the day because I felt like it is not enough. I still have almost 100 hours of PTO built up and about 80 hours of vacation time.

Facts right there

Holy crap that’s relatable

Damn that’s pretty

I’m inattentive type ADHD so maybe that was a contributing factor to why my parents felt they way they did about it

They generally take mental health seriously but for somethings they’re pretty damn backwards on

I feel this comment.

One problem I had though was that some of my teachers were like, “I think he should be tested for ADHD and/or autism,” and my parents going on a tirade about it not being real or some shit.

Of course I only found that out after I got diagnosed with ADHD (still haven’t got the courage to ask my doc about autism though) and told my parents therefore triggering they’re tirade aimed at me where they mentioned my teachers talking about it pretty consistently in school.

Would have loved getting that diagnosis when I was younger than 29.

I’ll have you know that I went to therapy… Eventually.

I unfortunately tried to find solace at the bottom of a bottle first.

Didn’t work. All I found where the demons of my own mind and the bottles took away my ability to fight them.

This is not the way

Jeb’s just operating a unscheduled manned solar orbital satellite.

They’ll be fine

I’ve literally had partners envious of my turn around time.

Holy cardio friend!

Stop beating that poor thing!

I feel you friend

When I got a hernia a couple years ago I couldn’t for 3 months due to pain before the surgery‡ and then 2 months after the surgery (doc said 2 weeks but there was still too much pain in the area)

That was hard

‡ Had to wait 3 months because my insurance was insisting it was an “optional” surgery because it didn’t have my guts pinched so they were not wanting to cover it. My doc was insistent that it wasn’t optional due to the level of pain I was in. In the end the doc won and it was covered.

Looks like I’ve found my people

I haven’t tried all 3 myself but if you do give it a try share your findings, it does sound like it could be pretty good

Yeah spicy food can be straight up cruel to me.

Plus with my food allergies I basically open with “Does it contain X, Y, or Z?”

Other than that though I’m down for a good time.

It’s so incredibly good with what it does to cheese’s texture, and the sweetness it adds to the savoriness of it all.

The way the pineapple bursts with flavor when bit

Swoon

It’s one of my favorite things to put on pizza

Right up there with anchovies and artichokes

This is not the way

New foods to try is one of my favorite things about meeting people from other cultures

I didn’t say it’d kill all complex life, I said complex life would be greatly impacted.

For example ocean acidification is tempered by reacting with build ups of calcium which is the building blocks of many things in the ocean. Shelled critters and corals immediately come to mind as examples of directly impacted complex life.

As the corals die and can no longer form due to acidification that whole ecosystem collapses.

The stuff that eats the phytoplankton (sensitive to ocean acidification and heat) no longer can eat it due to it dying along with the other little micro organisms, also suffers from ecological collapse.

A big issue that impacts complex life is how quickly it can adapt to the changes in their ecosystem and if they can find new places to go or new things to eat.

For example E. Coli: it has quick generations so it can adapt really quickly. This experiment has been going since the late 80s and the E. Coli has gone through over 70,000 generations and they’ve seen a lot of changes. If you went back that many human generations it would take you back before modern homo sapiens.

Basically it’s due to the heat, acidification of the ocean, and the massive drop in oxygen production as the ocean acidifies.

Most of the oxygen we breathe is produced by microorganisms in the ocean and as the ocean gets more acidic (from absorbing CO2 from the air) and hotter (from greenhouse effects) it makes it harder for those little fellas to survive. And when they die their impact on our breathable air goes away. And if course the stuff that’s eats those organisms no longer have food and due off.

That’s not even mentioning just the heating from greenhouse effects making unlivable temperature conditions (humidity + heat = unable to cool down and overheat) more likely to occur.

All life wouldn’t perish per se but the current complex animals we have (and us humans) would be greatly impacted to say the least.

I would have loved to get my diagnosis and start taking meds before I dropped out of college twice. Would have saved a lot of pain and money.

I got diagnosed at 29.

My life has gotten so much fuckin better since it’s amazing.
