Unfortunately I live in a state that is very uh… “Family oriented” or “traditional”. I’m not very welcome in my line of work. 90% of the time I’m the only woman. Lol, I figure I just have to deal with it and prove them wrong.

It’s very sexist but man I don’t know wtf is up. Every single time it’s a masuline name my groceries are picked horribly and super common things are magically out of stock. One time I ordered tampons and the person with the masuline name got me Poise pads instead. THOSE THINGS ARE THICC AF FOR BLADDER LEAKS!!. 😭 Dude just grab a different brand of tampons, they all have the same logic of L, R, and S.
Exactlyyy, that is a time I have used it too. I don’t hold a grocery delivery membership but ill definitely use it if I’m sick af and need groceries.
It is fair. I have had MULTIPLE jobs that had me crying in the car before work nearly every day. Ranging from $7 an hour to more than $50 an hour. Toxic work environments that trigger these intense emotions is not all that rare. I’d say I’m the common denominator in these situations but I am known to be a very pleasant person to work with (I strive for this because it often makes work life 100x easier lmao). I could be delusional but I really don’t think it’s me. Unless being too nice is the reason I get into these situations BUT I DIGRESS. I’m genuinely happy you haven’t experienced this because it’s extremely difficult and destroys your mental health.
I live in a place that had almost zero public transportation 8 years ago. 8 years ago I developed epilepsy and temporarily lost my driver’s license due to this condition. The closest grocery store is 7 miles away and I live far from family and friends so grocery shopping was nearly impossible at times. Grocery delivery was one of my only ways to get food. It can be useful in more scenarios than you can imagine.

7·11 days agoLmao this is fucked up. I hate that I’ve sunk so much money into digital PlayStation games. At least I have benefitted somewhat. 1 digital game = 2 games for myself and my spouse. So I have somewhat saved money in a way. Fuck.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•those of you with elderly parents 800 miles away, how do you take care of them?
31·16 days agoI just let them figure it out lol. They should have saved for retirement or an old folks home. They are adults who can read, they can figure out Medicaid/Medicare to get what they need accomplished. In a dire situation I would allow them to move in with me where I am. I clawed my way to independence with zero assistance from them. In fact they purposely sabotaged me at times so I’m not sacrificing my entire life to care for them.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If a doctor told you your unborn child has a 99% chance of severe downs syndrome, to the point where they would need constant care until the day they die. Do you think it's ethical to abort?
3·2 months agoPart 1: yes, abort
Pat 2: you’d have to be blind to not see that your child has down syndrome for a week. Not much you can do at this point outside of putting the child in the system to be abused and abandoned or murdering it so this is the point where I become stuck with a mentally challenged child.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have your parents ever said something so unhinged that you’re just left standing there like🧍♂️?
2·1 year agoMy step father told me about the time he told my biological father that he had slept with my mom.
I was a small child and we were all living in a house together, my mom, biological father and step father(my bio dads bff at the time). Step father took my bio father out and told him what they had done. My bio father was so happy to hear the news he shook my step father’s hand and thanked him profusely. He then proceeded to tell my step father how he wanted to burn the house down with me and my mom in it so this is the best news he could possibly get.
After my step father told me this story he followed it up with “at that moment I should have known and left your mother” 🫠
I remember a guy would show up at our house every now and then with the most random shit including game consoles and sell it to us at a low price. We lived in very low income government housing.
As an adult I now realize my family was purchasing stolen goods 😹
