Just moved, thanks! :)

Circle👍🏼

So I’ve had allergies all my life. Waking up stuffy or sniffling is super common, I don’t even keep track of it. When it’s bad, if I tilt my head back, I’m literally drinking mucus lol (gross). I joke about being allergic to the outdoors, spring time’s bad, and there’s particularly something about the desert that makes my allergies act up. Some of the shrubs out there, sagebrush maybe. And I can get it basically everywhere, even while traveling to other countries, so it seems like I’m allergic to multiple things. My allergy symptoms are pretty much sneezing and sniffling, nothing to do with the throat.

I’ve taken OTC antihistamine meds before. They don’t completely dry me out but it helps a little. They’re not a magical cure, so I actually don’t bother most of the time unless it’s bad and I have something important going on.

I don’t think you’re being a big baby, because it sounds like you just developed this issue? I just deal with it because it’s normal, it’s been going on my whole life, kinda like wearing glasses lol.

They absolutely do! Some animals mate for life. Some mourn when one of their own dies (see whales, elephants). Parrots who are lonely may self-mutilate. Dogs can remember you and get so excited to see you, even after being separated for years. Interspecies friendships exist. It’s like… I don’t see how people can still think animals DON’T have emotions.

They just don’t make faces like humans do. Although interestingly, dogs developed eyebrow muscles that give them more human-like expressions, which therefore strengthens our bond with them.

Joined! I still visit the subreddits, but it’d be nice to get some NFL traction on Lemmy. :)

I’d imagine it’s easier to cheat at something if you’re online. Makes things less personal and takes away any sort of direct confrontation.

Not sure what other NSFW instances off the top of my head. I think lemmit.online mirrors different subreddits, so maybe some NSFW options there

Aww I didn’t know we had this. Subscribed for next year!

That is crazy. Nice work! :D

That’s weird! I go on Lemmy daily and it’s been feeling a lot busier IMO.

He totally is! I’ve noticed Blaze’s posts a bunch -well assuming he goes by the same name lol. He’s doing a great job at shepherding and getting the info out there. @Blaze@sopuli.xyz

Also I took a peek at some of threads discussing the paywalls and noticed there seems to be increased awareness about Lemmy, dare I say interest😆

Try posting in !lemmy411@lemmy.ca !

I mean I had no idea! TIL

Wow TIL

I think the French maid is kind of a sexual fetish (not sure why it’s specifically the French maid lol) so the guys like it. Plus it’s a cute outfit (look up lolita fashion) so the girls like it.

Reactions and side effects are dependent on the person. I’m healthy so I don’t typically take medications but this was my experience on Strattera, which you’re supposed to take with food. That warning was no joke. I had to take it with a meal, because I’d risk feeling queasy with only a snack. But at low doses, it was fine. Very manageable.

As my dose was increased, the nausea started becoming constant. I couldn’t do anything to relieve it. At one point I was at a restaurant and had to go throw up in the restroom. After that I decided to stop taking Strattera, because the nausea made for a miserable experience and was not worth it at all. I was instantly better once I stopped.

Can’t imagine there are too many moms on Lemmy lol

Thank you! Subscribed!

Can’t help but wonder if any dogs were actually thrown off the bridge by some sick person. Especially as the bridge gets more well known.

The idea of dogs staring at something unseen and then suddenly suiciding is freaky though. I could definitely see this being incorporated somehow into a horror story.

This is so wholesome☺️
