  • Nowhere is perfect and there are some VALID criticisms.

    Y’all have winter for 7 months out of the year. Don’t you lie to out of staters and say there isn’t snow in May. The only months I ain’t never seen snow in is July and August and I’m pretty sure there are records of snow in July.

    And it’s not just any winter. I have seen the ass crack of -54F during a polar vortex. On more than one occasion it’s been colder than the surface of Mars.

    When it finally starts to melt you have a season dedicated entirely to ticks.

    I do miss it in the summertime though. I like humidity and thunderstorms. And fireflies when there used to be fireflies.

    But FUCK the mosquitoes. I literally had to sleep under mosquito netting. That’s what 10,000 lakes gets ya.

    Source: lived up north for way too long. Fucked off back to the land of perpetual rain where I belong. Yes, I couldn’t hack it. Y’all are tough, I’ll give you that.







  • In addition to what other people have chimed in, the Salvation Army used to (might still? Last article was in 2014) not pay female workers directly. They would make out their paycheck to the worker’s husband. Because women are property.

    I’ve personally been affected by Salvation Army practices. See, they used to deliver toys to disadvantaged kids around the holidays but those toys come with strings. Not only did they show up to my house when my parents were clearly not home they literally dangled toys in front of me and my siblings I was babysitting and refused to give them to us unless we said we would accept Jesus.

    We were not a Christian family. In fact at the time most of us were part of a different religion (my dad was always agnostic). They cornered a gaggle of known non-Christian minors when they were alone and vulnerable. They manipulated and forced me to say I accepted Jesus so that my siblings could have presents.

    Fuck the Salvation Army.







  • Not OP but I was diagnosed by being sent to a sleep specialist. I complained of fatigue to my PCP so they checked me for sleep apnea and during the initial meeting I described my schedule and what is typical for me. At the end of the questioning I said “yeah, I’ve suspected I have a sleep disorder or something” and she said “you definitely have delayed sleep phase disorder” and BOOM it was in my chart.

    Easiest diagnosis ever. It helps if you keep a sleep log for a little bit. I can’t guarantee the ease of your diagnosis but mine was just being honest instead of lying and pretending to have a normal day walker schedule.
