EDIT: this has been paid. thank you sm

seriously about to cry rn. like you guys don't guilt trip people or assume they're a piece of shit or anything. the amount of humanity you guys have astounds me. i feel like i've been a burden on people my entire life and it's been such a fucking struggle clawing my way tooth and nail out of the hole i'm born into. it doesn't feel i'm some worthless person on the leftist sides of lemmy. people accept me for who i am & believe in me and i just really want to say thank you bc i really have needed something like that these past few years. i'm gonna have a degree by may and it might not be the one i wanted but it'll be something, a stepping stone to better places and things. i'll be the first in my family with one.

sorry to babble forever about that. overcome with emotion wasn't really any sort of understatement. but, on the note of my degree. i need to pay 25 dollars to parchment to transfer my transcript over to my new college. & for whatever reason, even though my transcript from my previous college reflects my AP credits from high school, I need to be scalped even more and pay 15 dollars to the CollegeBoard to send my AP scores to the new college as well 🙃. i didn't really anticipate these charges not being payable to my bursar account, and i still haven't found a permanent job since losing my cashiering position. i'm really stressed bc i might not be able to go to the classes i enrolled in if i can't get this 40 dollars sorted by the 19th. there's people who need $40 dollars more than me for sure but getting my degree really means a lot to me so that probably influenced my hesitation posting here again, sorry.

edit: my cashapp is $jwmgregory

we call the 2 cuts of meat we traditionally take off of poultry’s arms “wings.” typically you’ll get one half of the arm versus another. you’d either get a drumstick wing, with all the meat on one bone; or flats, which have less meat & two bones, much like your lower arm.

chicken wings served this way are very popular here but many do not like or do not want to deal with the bones. so additionally, processed “boneless” chicken wings are available. they’re exactly the same thing as chicken nuggets usually, just bigger. ground poultry reconstituted into morsels

probably not a good idea if i ever want to keep cashiering as an available line of work. idk. maybe my intrigue score is just low

there’s some around here but they don’t really disperse unless you’re living on the streets or a family who can’t afford food. the requirements to get food bank food and food stamps are both fairly strict here. i’m looking into the latter option

It's weird having to ask random strangers on the internet for help. I just started my 20's pretty recently and don't have any sort of support network irl. Idk ig I'm just really scared rn. the world will crush me up & spit me out and there's nothing I can do about it. It feels hopeless. I don't know what else to do rn while I apply to jobs. how can I be expected to "just go get a job" when that costs money? Merely existing costs money!? It's like the longer I'm in a bad spot, the further in the hole I roll down :(

sorry to briefly rant. I ended up losing my cashiering job at a big corporate store a week or so ago. It was for reasons outside of my own control. My funds dried up so quick. I don't know how I'm gonna pay my rent and not get evicted this month. everyone is acting like it's my fault bc I was supposed to have savings somehow? I made less money every check it felt like, what was I supposed to save?? Anyway. Maybe it's me, and I'm just a dipshit who can't be an adult like everyone else. Regardless. I haven't ate anything other than a bag of microwave popcorn I found in the cabinets of my apartment 3 days ago, and before that I wasn't exactly eating like a king. I feel like if I don't do something soon I'm gonna be in such a worse spot. i would really appreciate if anyone would be able to spot me a few dollars to eat today. it would relieve a world of stress off my shoulders to just have one big meal rn. my cashapp is $jwmgregory, same as my user here. thank you sm to anyone who even reads this. ik that this is very rambly but i'm not of the clearest head rn, sorry for any mistakes and ty for your time.

edit: 2 individuals donated enough for me to eat and i appreciate the help sm. i have my food situation squared away for now. i suppose i won’t take this post down bc i truly can use all the help i can get rn and still am facing a lot of trial and tribulation. but i plan to pay back the 2 people who cashapped me once im in a better spot, and do something else to pay forward the kindness whenever i can. bless & i hope that myself and everyone else can find a better way forwards

i misheard lady gaga’s bad romance the first few times. “want you in my rear window, baby, you're sick;” came across to me as “while in morrowind, your baby is sick.” thought it was a commentary of some sorts lmao.

be careful. putting all your eggs in one basket & all. someone could easily walk away with such a bag, no matter how diligent you think you are.

sorry not to come off as didactic, i just get worried about when i hear people talk about testing. i see a lot of young people not understand how to actually confirm negative results and it scares me

[-] jwmgregory@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago

if you didn’t go and get tested 2-3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after the fact, you should go get tested again. bc of window periods, it’s likely your clean test could have been a false negative. even if it’s been a long time, some std’s are asymptomatic and sit in your body for years. just in case you should get tested again, and specifically request tests for things like HPV that are not included in a standard “full” panel test

Lmao, what a wild assumption that they could take whatever icons they like, with no basis in reality.

that’s…. exactly what they do buddy. you don’t seem the type to care for counter-examples so i won’t even try and list any of the many, many fucking instances of this happening irl

what the hell are you talking about? you cannot inherit debt in the united states unless it’s been agreed upon contractually, which in the case of students loans it virtually never, ever is.

when unique ecological events happen in any other place in the world, the title is often “x thing is seen in the world for the first time in x years” or some shit like that. honestly sometimes in media yeah, there’s an america-centric worldview being pushed; but sometimes you people get so overzealous about this “the USA is the whole world” schtick. this literally isn’t anything like that jeez. there’s cool unique bugs elsewhere in the world. there wouldnt be people fucking crucifying the title in the comments about those articles.

Hello,

This is an issue that has been previously discussed on the github as issue number 602, however it has been marked as resolved. I’m at work currently and cannot peruse the github much more to see if there is any discourse about this currently or if anyone else is still experiencing this on iOS, but I just wanted to spur any sort of discussion to be had about it here, because it makes certain communities borderline unusable.
