    My PCP recommended me to a specialist office that does neurological testing at scale, so I was able to get through it all pretty quickly. I asked about it at my yearly insurance physical in March, got an appointment for online testing on the 3rd, and got my results two weeks later. I was surprised by how easy it was. I have pretty good insurance from my job.

    Here’s the specialist I used

    I’m not sure if they take patients outside Michigan or not, but everything I did was remote, so I don’t see why they couldn’t. Their reviews on Google are bad, but my experience was great, and I’ve had friends say good things about another doctor also at this practice











  • I have definitely used my difficulty starting tasks to help myself lose weight. I find its way easier to just be hungry than to make food. Most of the time.

    I still have to make sure I’m not eating snacks without thinking about it. A good option for me has been keeping easy, small, healthy foods, that can get me through hunger pang. My favorite is a pot of Greek yogurt. They’re like 80¢ at Aldi where I live. Fresh fruit works great as well! And for late night treats, I eat frozen fruit. It fills the ice cream niche, without being packed with calories and extra sugar

    Got a Scroll of Prestidigitation as a joke item, but I saved it, and eventually found a use for it, allowing my character to avoid the use of a public bathhouse, which was great for him due to personal issues.

    The scroll became a running joke, everyone would always laugh about, “Oh, if we only had a Scroll of Prestidigitation!” whenever we fall into a sewer or something. So when he got his next cantrip, at level up, there was really only one choice





  • My brother doesn’t like work from home either, and I just don’t get it. Working from home has been great for my mental health.

    I’m not stressed all the time; I don’t have to worry about things unrelated to my job, like traffic, or what I’ll do for lunch. I don’t have to sit in the cheapest desk chair money can buy, and use a tiny Dell monitor, instead I relax at home, at my desk I already have anyway.

    But I’ve never really seen work as a place to socialize to begin with. It’s the one place where I can’t control who is around me, and as a result, there are often people I dislike. I much prefer they remain icons, instead of whole people I have to make small talk with. Then, if there are coworkers I like, I can reach out to them individually



  • Not like those poors, who can’t be trusted not to blow all of their limited funds on junk food. (<-- There it is. There’s the shitting on the poor part.)

    This dramatically undervalues the predatory practices of snack food companies, and redirects the blame. This is a problem solved by regulation, but the people that most need to be protected by those regulations are the poor, who are targeted for exploitation by the companies producing cheap, processed “foods.”

    RFK is a dangerous idiot, and his handful of seemingly okay policy ideas only exist to distract from the harm that the administration, he is part of, is doing. This is one of those policies. It will never be anything more than a headline in any meaningful way.
