  • My therapist told me that a diagnosis of a mental health disorder means you have a disability*. So if they choose not to hire you because of your ASPD diagnosis, in the US at least, that’s discrimination against a protected class. I have AvPD, and that was a concern for me too

    *(although many disorders don’t always earn the label “disability” when a person is seeking benefits)


  • High pH is basic btw. I’m assuming you meant low pH with the reference to soda

    My acid reflux has nothing to do with acidic or basic foods, and everything to do with the ratio of fat I’ve eaten or how many alcoholic drinks I’ve had in an evening. Beer is about a hundred times less acidic than soda (for reference) and soda doesn’t set my reflux off

    My point is that human bodies are weird and we react in weird ways to food. That’s why we have to trial foods

    Some molecules have a rotation that is centered on a chiral carbon atom and is named by the way the other atoms of the molecule rotate. There are some rules to it, but L is levorotatory and means it rotates to the left or counter-clockwise. D is dextrorotatory and spins to the right, or clockwise.

    Edit: spelling errors lol



  • I have a Braun Silk-Epile that I really like because there’s so many interchangeable tops. You can use it to trim hair down before you epilate, and it also has nice little massage heads to help exfoliate and prevent ingrown hairs. They also have a decent replacement policy, I lost my charger during a move and they sent me a new one very fast.

    I also really like how easy it is to clean. I tried another brand before that had a complicated mechanism for opening the housing to remove the hair. Not fun spending as much time cleaning as you do removing hair lol

    (also, for transparency: I’m an afab nb that was on T and have gone back in the closet because US politics. So I’ve used this mostly on my face and neck)
