so what is a soy wojak?

Why three weeks?

Add on Korra, Asami, and Kuvira from LoK!

Two small accommodations that have worked for me as a biochemist working in a lab.

One is that she needs to give deadlines for requests. She cant just say “get that to me ASAP” because does ASAP mean drop everything and do it now, stay late to finish what she needs tonight, or end of day tomorrow, etc. Or “hey I need ____” with no specified timeline, doesn’t work. She knows that my time blindness means I don’t remember how long ago she told me to do something, and I’m so busy with other shit that I easily lose track. I think it’s been two days, it’s actually been two weeks. She now gives me due dates. It’s less stressful than never knowing when she actually needs something.

Another is if I’m running an experiment then I can’t listen in to meetings like everyone else, because I get distracted and fuck up my experiment. My boss knows that if my experiment is the higher priority then I won’t attend any meetings during that time, and she’s fine with it. If it’s an important meeting I have to plan my experiment around it, or just do it another day.

I’m not sure if these qualify exactly. I didn’t have to go to HR to document my disorder and request these accommodations, I just talked to my boss as these things became problems.

idk, but maybe cause your comment implies that this post has a political agenda instead of just being shared because it’s a legitimately mildly infuriating issue

wow i just read all of those in one sitting

Been a while, but I really enjoyed Feed by Mira Grant

You’re being downvoted because your comment is barely relevant, the only thing linking your comment and this video is the word gym

well i am now

1. In an acid base reaction, yes it does. An acid donates a proton, a base accepts a proton. The less acidic compound will accept the proton, making it the base. Acting as a base does not make it alkaline.

2. Correct, the acid base reaction itself does not cause bubbling. However, baking soda and vinegar are not the only compounds that react to form CO2 (or another gas) in an acid base reaction.

3. Looking at the components of ear wax reveal it’s composed of a wide variety of different compounds. It’s been a while since I took o chem, so I’m not up to the task of determining which of these components are or are not capable of producing CO2 (or any other gas) in an acid base reaction with acetic acid. Do you have a source detailing these possible chemical reactions?

ETA: The people in this thread are so eager to shut down misinformation that they are actively spreading misinformation that would be rapidly disproven in any gen chem college course. I’ve learned my lesson on trying to share cool chemistry facts with internet strangers.

OPs doctor recommended it

I’m looking at the full text, can’t find the word buffer anywhere on the page, all I can find is they used 2% acetic acid rather than 5%. Did you mean diluted?

people really trust a rando lemmy comment over the research that is directly in their face, and are ignoring the fact that this was recommended by your doctor lol

Yes! Earwax is slightly acidic (~6.1 pH) while acetic acid is more acidic (5% vinegar is ~2.5 pH) so the earwax acts as a base in this reaction.

ETA: there may be other things it is reacting with as well, like leftover soap, but this is how acid base reactions work. A chemical does not need to be above pH of 7 to act as a base. The more acidic compound will give its extra hydrogen to the less acidic compound.

how can women be expected to compete against the dyson sphere? it’s all over for us, smh 😔

it’s one thing to not like new music, i think that’s normal, people discover the music they like fairly early on and usually get kinda stuck in it. but all the people saying new music is objectively garbage and people just have garbage taste now? yea they got that boomer mentality where the stuff they like from their youth is the golden age, everything else is inferior, and their opinions are facts

this is not creepy at all, just weird and funny

I was diagnosed late, two years ago at 26, exactly like a couple of these women! It took me 8 years of on/off college to earn my B.S. I could never keep my apartment clean and felt so ashamed of how gross I was compared to my peers. I could never finish projects, stick with hobbies, I couldn’t even finish video games (except Nancy Drew lol). My diagnosis was such a relief, a burden lifted.

I still experience bouts of grief, imagining the life I could have led if I was diagnosed at a young age. My younger brother is autistic, and my parents weren’t aware of ADHD symptoms, so they never recognized that I was also neurodivergent. My needs took the backseat every time, because I wasn’t diagnosed with autism I was always expected to defer to whatever my brother needed/wanted. My relationship with my mother was severely impacted by her only caring about what happened to my brother, she didn’t care about my needs.

I remember sobbing in my room at the age of 7, because I realized that my mom loved my brother more than me. She came in and comforted me, reassured me that it wasn’t true, and I thought things would change. They didn’t. Every issue, no matter how small, she would side with him, never me, not once. It led to a lot of resentment towards my mom and brother, me and my dad would “team up” because my mom did the same thing to my dad (who was also later found out has ADHD, among other things). My mom now thinks she might be autistic as well, but my parents don’t have the means to get her tested atm.

My relationship with my mom has improved a lot now that I’m an adult, am diagnosed, and have moved out. My mom has realized a lot of the harm she did, apologized, and is working to change it. My brother, not so much.

I find it extremely difficult to be back home for too long, because my brother doesn’t know how to grow out of this dynamic. He still expects his every desire to be fulfilled no matter how I feel. We have discussed this so many times, each time he says he understands and things do get better for a week or two, then we’re back to square one. I’m tired. I grieve a relationship I wish I had with my brother, I wish we could be close and rely on each other, but I am the only one that gives.

Sorry, wow, this really turned into an outpouring of emotion. I’m really tempted to just delete it all but I’m trying not to do that as often. I typed this all up, I must want to share, I just feel ashamed for some reason.

am a girl

get very greasy and acne riddled during puberty

very much not pretty

have embarrassing moments when my period surprised me, bled through my pants onto seats several times

get severely debilitating cramps and have to stick cotton up there several times a day for a week every month

have to deal with this every month for another ~30 years

then get to look forward to menopause

yea wtf is his problem

Also I like long noses and hooked noses, I think they look cool and give character, my husband has one hell of a nose. Women can get hooked/long noses too.

I think it’s just inaccurately labeled as a skeleton. These appear to be skin spikes. https://www.cell.com/iscience/pdf/S2589-0042(19)30185-3.pdf
