"Know your worth."
I've struggled with self-worth my whole life and I'm finally taking a stand for myself both in my professional and personal life. It feels great tbh.

Well fuck. I work at an MSP and we sell exclusively sell computers. 💀
Don't shame notepad! Just the other day I had to alter a host file so a computer could talk to a server! That's a very important thing and I wouldn't have been able to do it without trusty notepad!
Any physical therapy/rehab centers under Select Medical. I worked in one of their regional offices processing insurance claims and was exposed to the grossest type of capitalism. Profit through healthcare.
I did my best to make claims take an insanely long time to fully process so the patients weren't hit with their absurd bills right after they just got done with major medical issues. I kept one guy's outrageous bill in limbo the entire 9 months I worked there. He was a local to my area and I knew by the info in the system that he could not afford those bills. I made sure he didn't even see the bills the whole time I was at that job.
I had my ankle reconstructed a couple of years ago and I knew the bills were gonna be crazy. It took 4 months for me to get them and by that time I was already back to work. I like to think that someone was keeping my bills in limbo while I got back on my feet. I paid off the bills a little then lost track of it all and then decided that I'm just not paying medical shit unless I am forced to pay on the spot.
The only person I've seen actually benefit from back surgery is my sister getting rods put along her spine for her scoliosis. It helped her tremendously. She has some recurring nerve pain from it, but her organs aren't being fucked up anymore and her back doesn't hurt constantly. She also got so much taller.
Thank you very much. I hope you don't get ill anytime soon!
Cool scars are always dope as hell. I have quite a few, myself. None make me seem like a villain tho lol. Lemmy definitely needs more support groups, but I am far too busy to create and moderate one myself. I do have to say that Lemmy has grown a LOT since I joined in 2022. I joined in the reddit blackout exodus and it's been worth it. Hopefully more growth will lead to more supportive spaces for folks who need it
I'm so sorry you have dealt with the ailments you have. My exercise routine is taking care of, training, and riding horses. Being around all the dust they produce will 100% make my sickness worse. I pushed myself to go do stuff with the critters on Friday and I think getting so much dust in my sinuses is what solidified my illness. Hopefully I get better before I'm supposed to ride next
Thank you so much. I'm so sorry you also struggle with autoimmune stuff. It's crazy how a body can just attack itself
Where I am it is. I burn things sparingly, usually only when I have way too many boxes to fit in my 5 trash bag maximum. That hasn't happened in almost a year, thankfully. I've been able to find more of what I need locally so I've been ordering things online less and less.
My neighbors burn almost daily, even during burn bans. I get why they burn stuff and I burn cardboard sometimes myself. Our town has very strict rules on trash pickup and you can get fined for more than 5 bags. I don't violate ordinances or bans tho. Because I don't want my town to burn down.

I don't take it that way at all.
