To control emotions a person has to acknowledge the emotion is their’s to manage.

Not something magical that someone else gave them.

EG: the incels and nice guys who blame women for making them feel rejection. Or cultures that kill women and homosexual men for making them feel erotic.

Get a dictionary. It helps with understanding words you don’t understand.

I wish I got a biometric scale way earlier than I did.

This thing is like cheat codes

Sounds like it would cost a lot on a city tax to go that distance to replace it

Probably harder to maintain easier fixes in colder areas where the ground freezes for half a year.

This. This is why animals are the most awesome…

I mean people are pretty damned awesome. But cmon this is the cutest thing.

Also if you’re using windows and avoiding acrobat try Sumatra for reading pdfs. FOSS is the way. Libre draw also does document signing for pdfs

Well over 18. Paid for Driving instructor(cuz by then I was able to afford it at that age) . Seriously best money I have ever spent.

do not have a relative teach you. All a relative will teach you is all their bad habits. An Instructor will reprogram you the correct way and teach you how to actually pass the test.

Thanks, it was hard to decide if the work itself was hard or heartache or just both having them mixed in.

Yikes yeah that place sounds rotten to the core. I’m glad you got out of it and hope you found safer ground ! Glad you kept your sanity too. That can be a challenge in such situations where you can feel the walls closing in.

I hear you. Yes, It’s definitely easier when there are at least already one or two women already present.

But sometimes you have to watch your back sometimes even then. Cuz there can be the ‘pickme’ ladies that lean into the misogyny. I’ve come by some real toxic ones that had rap sheets of other victims all women that had bundled together and basically had group therapy about the same woman.

That’s where I start saving every single email they (the toxic ones) send me. I’ve taken one or two out in my day just on ‘accidently’ forwarding an email they sent me they thought they had me too intimidated to send. I was just biding my time giving them false confidence.

Strength sometimes takes a lot of patience to help a person fuck up in front of the wrong line of people.

Document everything.

Though I’m hoping current days are getting better where this kind of toxicity is easier to call out. I’ve notice some of the more recent places of work that they even encourage and prefer calling it out in the moment with HR and not having it be dealt with in such a chaotic way. Though that can also be dependent on how good your HR is. (Watch out for HR using the catch phrase ‘conflicting personalities’ is a dead give away you got a dud HR)

This. So many brave ppl asking such questions light the ways. There are jerks but don’t let them dictate what happens to information. Don’t give into them. Be the light in the darkness.

…what is is to be a woman in STEM. and why a lot of women leave and why it’s a sausage party. And also why women online often disguise themselves even in games.

That being said I suggest this when some rando online is trying to pressure you: when a person is so fragile to be easily annoyed by your existence: exist harder. They are the fool for giving you such power. Lean into it. Ask more questions. Watch them stir in their seat overreacting.

Cuz one thing I’ve learned is when you are that brave: there are twice as many newbies hiding around you thinking you’re awesome for asking all the hard questions.

Don’t delete because of some elitist assholes. Leave it up for the other newbies. Get more newbies up in their business.

Ok even at that I’m sure what with working with people and asking of questions the other symptoms are present. They might not connect from one symptom to another to be a factor of another. I have made the mistake myself as have others who may not be over 50.

UTIs can be scary if you don’t know the symptoms are related at any age or gender. hence why I posted this and what to look out for.

Also didnt ask you for sources just so you can post here. Sorry if I’ve somehow upset you and you felt you needed to do show criteria? Just to be here?. You don’t need a license pass or whatever to post here just to be valid to have a civil discussion between humans with bodies. Let’s just be courteous and respectful.

You sound too squeaky clean….

Id say more like 70s and above. Ppl aren’t all the same kind of old from 50 to 90. 40 yrs is a large span to be confusing all symptoms into all the same age group. And this ignores menopause (once again menopause gets ignored) which is its own bag of tricks which happens in the span as early as 45(and in some rare cases 30s) which can span all the way into mid 60s.

50 is a bit young to be confused with dementia or stroke unless there is something incredibly unusual (and I mean outlier level) going on. And they would typically still experience the UTI pain first before the confusion. Lots of women go onto use HRT just on the early symptoms alone.

There are differences in typical health prone changes the decades(including stages of peri, post, menopause and andropause).

like you wouldn’t be confusing a 5 yr old with a 20 yr old. And that is only a span of 15 yrs but there are distinct differences in puberty changes then too just as you wouldn’t confuse health problems a 70 old with someone at 55 with menopause symptoms.

you also wouldn’t confuse someone who might be unable to be mobile in their 90s getting UTI from an unchanged diaper or catheter with a 50 yr old getting a UTI from ph imbalance because of menopause.
