who are you

Dunno if it helps, but I have the same problem: my skin reacts to most fragrances and even some other ingredients. Unscented Seventh Generation isn't quite as good as Dawn was, but it's close, and it has no smell at all. It's what I ended up switching to since you can't find the unscented Dawn anywhere but Target around here.

A respirator is still better if you're sick. Like I said, better than nothing, but only a little.

Worth noting that "masking" at this point refers to n95 or kn95 or similar/better. Loose surgical masks or cloth masks don't really help. They are better than nothing but only marginally.

Covid never went away. The threat of long covid increases with every infection and at only four years in we do not have enough data to know what the long term effects are. You're better off masking and avoiding it. P100 elastomeric respirator is the gold standard but n95 headstrap (not earloop) masks are good too. Blue surgical masks do nothing useful and you should avoid them.

Worked until I got pretty good at Tetris. Now the only thing that really works is trying to push to beat my 40 lines time and I'm going to hit a wall there eventually.

Others have covered the obvious ones, but the way she switches between masking for the phone call itself and being genuinely distressed about the whole thing is a good clue. A lot of us will never let people see past the mask, but masking is exhausting and leads to burnout in the long term. Every autistic person is different, though.

Nah, landlords own property they do not need (because they aren't living in it). Rather than sell it, they make someone else pay to use it. That's abusing tenants for money, man, sorry. Being polite and agreeable about it doesn't make that less the case.

And no they aren't doing a service for people who can't buy, because if there were more places to live available buying would be easier.

Said elsewhere here but it's an old post so repeating: if you can afford it a p100 elastomeric respirator is going to be way more effective than a mask. Elastomeric respirators are reusable and easier to fit, so the protection factor is way higher. Filters last a long time so they save you money in the long term.

If you haven't already, look into a good p100 elastomeric respirator. Yes, you get looks. But if your exposure time is short you should be okay unless it doesn't fit well. Preventing reinfection still matters.

Did you introduce them correctly? Can't just throw them at each other and hope they work it out. Jackson Galaxy (check youtube) does a pretty good overview of how to do it right/in a way that maximizes your chances of both cats accepting each other. It's not too late to fix it!

You thought the PSA about something happening on a specific date was false because it hasn't happened yet even though it's in the future?

You have housing you don't need that you charge someone else to use while you pocket the profits. You are by definition taking advantage.

To where? You may or may not know this, but most countries will not accept immigrants with any sort of disability. That would probably count.

It says one of them was 18 so probably out for the night? 18 is plenty old enough to babysit lol

tl;dr "Kyiv" is correct because it's closer to how the people that live there say it.

In case you're not familiar with the term "first responder", it's exactly that: someone who's trained and responds in emergencies.

Most people I know commute 10 - 20 miles. (That is, 16 - 32 km). Public transportation is nonexistent many places so not an alternative.

Yeah but they're probably also getting paid 1/3 of what you are or less AND they drive twice as far to work or more. 1/2

I think Dollar Tree is where most grandmas get them but you can find them elsewhere. Walgreens, walmart, dollar general, etc.

"So far at least, we have good reason to be hopeful it won't." isn't even behind the paywall though.

Play SWTOR solo and finish through Shadow of Revan. All of the stuff related to KOTOR is free to play now.

To be fair, that was only the best case scenario. If we did things right. Which we decidedly did not, sadly. It's so frustrating.

Screw anyone who downvotes this. I'm cool with a hundred attention seeking posts per week if it means the an authentic post gets support.

Came here to say this but you did so I'll upvote it. As someone on the spectrum: fuck Autism Speaks.

He made the decision not to be part of the process himself. That was his decision. It's not as though he was excluded by anyone but himself.

No one is keeping him from speaking. He spews bullshit on Twitter and Fox all the time. He chose not to debate, no one kept him from it.

That's cool but we want healthcare.
