Glasses. Dry eye made contacts awful no matter what the water content was

Why would you put a cotton bud in?!

Blowing into it now… yeah I’ve done that 😂😂

Oh this is absolutely gorgeous. Kudos to you!

Fit the first one. Not the other two 😂

very interesting to read everyone’s opinion. I’m adult diagnosed AuDHD. I think I’m ok with viewing it as a disability. This is mainly because honestly I thought I was just a terrible person and really bad at functioning in society despite holding down a full time job/getting good grades etc. I was absolutely horrible to myself in my head.

Learning that I’m AuDHD has allowed me to understand my difference and yes disability and to be far kinder to myself

The search function on the apple mail app on phone is absolutely dreadful. I always have to go to gmail to search again. Otherwise I’d be happy to jump

Same experience. Jumped when Apollo stopped working and haven’t looked back

I like bandido a lot. Very very simple

Another staple increasing. But this one is a massive issue for families in poverty who rely on it

Absolute nut job

Mine both decided that the best way to learn to get out of their cot was to get their hips up against the side, all pressure on their arms and then tip forward headfirst onto the floor. In both cases a mad scramble for a toddler bed and teaching them to stay in their bed at <2 (a hopeless cause resulting in soft floors and a tall stair gate on the door) resulted

By three in both cases they were in full size singles for different reasons and so far there they stay (8 and 4 currently)

Awh this is lovely

Autistic son will take any invention that blocks noise so hopefully this becomes something 🙈😂

By this age we had started reading to him at ‘bedtime’ every night (even though he was still up many times after!) so my recommendation is for the Julia Donaldson lift the flap series: rabbits nap, foxes socks etc. we’ve gone through 2-3 of them between our two kids as they were absolutely beloved and worn to a thread.

Other than that it’s a bit of a blur 😂

Oh this was an excellent read thanks! Sensible rundown of where we are with justifications

This is me. Got my dad to pick me up melatonin in the states. Absolute game changer for my sleep deprivation

Yup. Not going to be available so it’s an easy decision for now

Do you have a chiari malformation? This can be one of my triggers for head pain

OMG no that isn’t mildly irritating that’s insanely annoying….

Oh man I love this 😂

I find that super interesting. How are side effects? Currently on concerta XL in Ireland and I keep getting tingling in my neck/scalp so considering going to back to investigate different meds

That’s absolutely horrifying as a parent. Imagine going from a modern country to becoming a war zone to being conquered and your kids being forcibly removed from you? I’d crack up

Totally agree. That thing sounded horrendous. This one is oddly reassuring

I don’t think Reddit is imploding overnight but there seems to be an element of death by a thousand cuts happening. I’ve left and burned out three old usernames and over ten years worth of posts/comments. I’ll still use it to find answers to things but increasingly over the last month the threads are peppered with deleted comments and gaps

Sweet Jesus… that’s gold

Tons of games with very little reading involved and people who do video content eg TikTok or YouTube rather than reading posts

Not really unexpected. Albeit not great for users!

Income disparity, communities where education isn’t supported, underfunded education, book burnings, tv/internet/gaming they've all had an impact. Add covid to the mix and burnt out parents and it’s all coming to a head

Thanks! I got Poe and artifact installed now. I like them a lot!

Excellent read thanks

Oh this is excellent. Thank you!

I’m trying to join if I can figure out how to. I’m on vlemmy with wefwef 😂. I’m happy to try and be active to get us going

Agreed. I found an asthma one so I’m trying to be active there every day. I need to find endometriosis, bunions, gastric surgery 😂. I’m a total crock health wise and these chats help

Similar issue for me. I’m feel I’m missing or haven’t found ones like the neurodiversity subs, specific medical ones like endometriosis, parenting ones, r/Ireland is probably the biggest one I miss outside of he headline Reddit ones

Thank you for this! I’ve never come across it and I never made friends with goodreads fully so this is a good shout for trying something new!

Installed wefwef Saturday. Sunday wiped out two reddit accounts with ten years worth of posting and officially left the platform. In the process realised I had actually stopped posting and was mostly doom scrolling. Very happy with the decision

Me!

Me too. And in nuking ten years of reddit history I realised I had stopped posting over the years as it got so big it just wasn't needed

Thanks! I’m very excited and reading all the fairytales currently

This drives me absolutely mad. I find it so frustrating and I have to work so hard not to continuously beat myself up over it
