Hey, no worries! Just wanted to check, thanks anyway :)

What a coincidence, I suggest Trump goes and fucks himself with the green side of a pineapple

Which then lines up with the third big reason, the Lemmy devs are transphobic assholes.

This is kinda a big deal for me too tbh. Do you happen to know, is there a good (android) piefed app, or is it website only for now? I imagine there'll be some of their aren't already, but my brief play store search wasn't very fruitful.

So warp is evoke and adventures stapled together it looks like?

All I know is its like having sex while ascending an escalator

it'll fuck you up

I was born wrong

Coffee is kind of like water, right?

Another country willing to take me

nonplussed

We can't even get people to consider stopping eating animals when we've known how terrible it is for the climate for decades. There's no viable strategy left to save human civilization, the inexorable march of global warming will take us all.

With practice, and with help from her deep medical knowledge

Depends on my mood somewhat, but I definitely have a sweet tooth. I try to be good and only keep healthy sweet snacks like apples and sugar snap peas in the house, but I definitely fold to some peanut butter granola or gummy candies or something like that

Things don't change very often tbh. Most of the Mental Health Listings were updated in 2017 I wanna say, but if someone doesn't meet those criteria I don't believe the other rules have been updated in quite some time.

Mental health is considered in terms of its functional impact on whether you're capable of holding a job. There's basically four areas under consideration: your ability to undo and remember tasks and instructions, things like that; your ability to maintain concentration; your ability to interact with other people; and your ability to adapt to changes and manage yourself.

There's a lot of jobs available in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles that you can theoretically perform even with some significant mental health impairments though. And keep in mind, this is pretty simplified, but that's the general principle.

I think there's a ton of benefit to getting a teacher, personally. They can guide your learning and provide advice on form and technique a lot easier than trying to figure it out with like, YouTube videos. If you're unsure whether it's for you and wanna get started before investing in a kit though, you can go a long way with a good practice pad, a pair of sticks, and a copy of Buddy Rich's Modern Interpretation of Snare Drum Rudiments

Not quite his style, he prefers getting pounded in the butt

My drum room is her nap room. I have to let her know I'm gonna play whenever I do, so she'll leave and I can shut the door, minimize the noise to the rest of the house. She's naked or Donald Ducking it at all times, so every time I want to play I get an eyefull of her chocolate Cheerio before I can start

So in the US, the rules are quite frankly stupid. This is not an official post btw, just my own observations. I want to say before all this, I'm so sorry you're dealing with that.

We're required to make all our determinations according to what's called the POMS, available here: https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/chapterlist!openview&restricttocategory=04

In short, and unfortunately it's vastly more complicated than this, but it can take a long time before I even see your claim, and if you're under 50 it's really hard to be allowed on benefits. You basically need to be mentally unwell enough you can't sustain a normal work week in an unskilled job, or you literally can't stand up for 2 hours in a day and imaging and physical exams demonstrate that. We need to have a Medically Determined Impairment before we can assign any limitations to you, meaning if your MRI shows nothing and your doctors can't figure out what's wrong, essentially I can't allow you unless other specific criteria are met. All decisions that aren't allowances require a SSA doctor to sign off, so I can't make an entirely independent judgement that someone is not disabled. There's also Federal Quality Assurance, who will return claims if they disagree with the outcome, and they have a quota to meet.

It's all completely fucked to be honest. My best advice is be honest with your adjudicator about everything, especially your address, and appeal up to the level of an administrative law judge if denied, because they have a lot more leeway than we do in allowing people.

I go to a local arcade bar all the time (hubs loves Stepmaniax), I see tons of parents taking their kids there. There's usually people in the bar area if you don't go at like, 11 am. It honestly seems like a great business plan, new and classic arcade games, catered to both children and their parents simultaneously?

Too true. Thanks Elwoods!
