It just seems too forward and almost pushy to me. Does it really help, or is it in poor taste? What's the best way to go about it? It just seems "too easy" for it to really be something that helps.
I have a job in my history where the official "HR job title" was something entry level, but the job that I actually did was a more senior role. The senior role was what was on all official documents, it was shown in my email signature, and it was what I interviewed for. This was common practice at this organization for some reason. Does my resume job title need to match the HR job title, or can I use the "actual" job title? Will they assume I'm lying when they do a job history check?

I've had IC for about 10 years, but have felt the need to wear pads/liners daily since long before my diagnosis. I'm just never comfortable with just straight underwear. I'm not entirely sure why, but I'm wondering if this is an IC thing. I don't think it's due to bladder leakage, as I never feel anything leaking out. My underwear just doesn't feel "right" unless I have a pad. I've asked my PT about it and she said that it must be discharge and it's normal. However, I never really see discharge on the pad or on my underwear. The pad usually stays pretty dry. Am I a total weirdo?
I dropped out of my Computer Science degree a decade ago. I don't have plans to finish it. I've been working in tech support for the past seven years, and I've been trying to pivot into a technical writing or other more administrative technical role. Would it be beneficial or detrimental to list my unfinished degree?
Not sure if this would look good or bad.
I just finished CrimeHub's 4-part series on this case. They mentioned that at autopsy, there were fingernails with Reagan's nail polish logged into the placenta, indicating that Reagan was alive when her baby was cut out of her and she was trying to fight for it. I cannot imagine the agony that she died in. Taylor Parker is truly a monster.
They said that the wheel was jerked a few times 3 seconds before the crash, while she was going 90-100 MPH. Wouldn't jerking the wheel like that cause skid marks or the vehicle to lose control? McKenzie is obviously an abusive girlfriend and a spoiled brat, so I am not trying to defend her. Something just isn't adding up to me. While in prison, she told other inmates that she was tripping on acid. Apparently, it is very rare, but acid can cause you to have a seizure. The first responder who examined her said there was no sign of a seizure, but he examined her after the crash, not during. Would he even be able to see evidence of a seizure that happened hours ago? I googled, and apparently it is possible for your body to stiffen during a seizure, enough that your foot can slam down on the accelerator. The road that she was going down was a winding road, and 3 seconds while driving at that speed covers a lot of ground. So, I'm thinking that it's possible that she did have a seizure, and Dom was jerking at the wheel to try to navigate the winding road. I really need someone to do the math on this. If this is a plausible explanation, she is still guilty because she was driving while on drugs. It would be DUI murder, or something to that effect. She still deserves prison time. I think this wasn't brought up during the trial because she wanted to get off completely free.
To preface, I'm fat. I have struggled with obesity since I was 5 years old. As an adult, it's a result of binge-eating, emotional eating, compulsive overeating, etc. I know what to eat and how much, but it's a mental illness that I really struggle with. As a child, my parents were feeding me too much. My mom is not fat. She has never been fat. She occasionally goes on a diet to lose a few vanity pounds and is so obnoxious about it. She's very pompous about food and nutrition in general, which is super annoying, especially since she raised 3 obese children and currently has 3 obese dogs. She is the type of person who will make fudge and other dessert treats and give it to her neighbors, who are obese, and not eat any herself. She gave me a huge tin of fudge for Christmas, and got upset when she found out that I gave half of it to my friends.
We were at lunch together the other day. Anytime we go out to eat together, it's the same thing. She orders a large plate of food, barely eats any of it, and offers me what she doesn't eat. If I say no, she says "are you sure!?" more than once. Since I have no self-control around food, I take it. This time, she also ordered dessert. She took one bite and went "UGH! It's way too sweet, bleaugh!" and gave it to me. It was baklava. Did she not expect it to be sweet? I honestly think she got it just so she could give it to me. This was all while having a conversation about why Americans are so fat (one of her favorite topics).
While driving home, we were talking about side hustles and ways to make extra money. I mentioned that I see people on TikTok make cake pops and that it looks like fun, but I wouldn't be able to do it because I would just eat too many of them. She said "Well just have one!" What a novel idea!!! I never thought of that!!! /s. Anyway, I told her that I have a problem with food like that and I can't keep it in the house or else I'll eat it all. I don't know how this isn't obvious to her. She doesn't understand eating disorders and thinks mental illness isn't real anyway, it's just laziness and a lack of willpower.
When I got home, she sent me a text that said she sent me an email. I looked at the email, and it was a website for a nutrition coach. I was and still am LIVID. This bitch pushed food on me all day, then had the audacity to advise that I clearly just don't know how to eat proper nutrition. Nutrition isn't rocket science. Weight loss isn't rocket science. Mathematically and nutritionally, it's really simple. The hard part is the addiction and the compulsion. The MENTAL part of it that she will never understand, because she's never had a problem with food, and has no empathy.
It's just so infuriating because she is obviously a big part of why I have an eating disorder. I had a very stressful childhood, thanks to her, and I developed a bad relationship with food and my body, thanks to her. I know I shouldn't go out to eat with her anymore, and I don't plan to. We had three special occasions over the past three weeks. It's difficult because we both live in the same small town. I want to move far away from her, but I like this town. I have friends here and the rent is affordable. I just wish she could see that she's such a fucking bitch. However, if I say anything to her, it will be just as bad in the opposite direction. When I was 12, I was on Jenny Craig. Anytime anyone ate something in front of me, she would say "Don't eat that in front of her! She's on a diet!" and make me feel so alienated and embarrassed. I know that wasn't her intention, she's just fucking clueless.
I think she is a big part of why I am struggling to be successful with losing weight. I don't want her to comment on my body AT ALL and she knows this. However, she can't help but comment if she notices that I've lost weight. I know this is supposed to be a good thing, but I don't need the woman that told me to suck my stomach in as a child to congratulate me on getting control over the ED that she gave me.
I just feel so stuck and so hurt. She's old, in her mid 70s. But she's always been like this. I feel like I won't feel any relief until she dies.
I'm sorry if this has been posted before. The hive can't turn people without their consent, but that's what they did in the first place, right? They turned the whole world, minus 13 people, without their consent.
Mom: "My friend's granddaughter is 18 months old and she can already ride a scooter! Her coordination is amazing for that age, I think it's because she is unvaccinated."
Me: "Okay... but you do realize it's a privilege for her to be unvaccinated, right? The only reason she gets to be unvaccinated is because everyone else is vaccinated. If nobody got vaccinated, then polio and measles would come back and children would die."
Mom: "That's not true. Where would the diseases come from?"
Me: "The same place they came from in the first place!"
Mom: "We eradicated all those diseases years ago."
Me: "No, we *effectively* eradicated them BECAUSE of vaccination! They still exist, but enough people are vaccinated that nobody gets sick anymore."
Mom: "No! We eradicated them through proper sanitation and hand washing! Surgeons in the 1800s didn't even wash their hands!"
Me: "It's a combination of both proper sanitation and vaccination. There have already been measles outbreaks in California because a lot of parents aren't vaccinating their kids."
Mom: "Okay but nobody is dying."
Me: "That's not true! Children have died!"
Mom: "Those children must have already had some other comorbidity or be immunocompromised. Viruses only kill the weak."
Me: "That's not true, some viruses are so dangerous that even healthy people die."
Mom: "Everyone who died from covid had at least 3 comorbidities!"
Me: "Even if that was true, we're not talking about covid! We're talking about measles and polio! Things that are MUCH more deadly than covid!"
Mom: "Well those diseases come from third-world countries and before Biden opened the borders, anyone coming to America from a third-world country had to be tested for viruses and treated before they were allowed in. They were given ivermectin so they couldn't spread measles and polio."
None of this is exaggerated. Me head hurts.
