The reality is even worse than the article makes it out to be. Get married while both are disabled and they will cut both your benefits, pay and medical, they will try to trick you into saying you are married or force common law marriage on you at every turn. It makes getting food stamps harder, it cuts the amount of care giving each person can get even if they have separate needs, and god forbid you need a new (to you) vehicle or place to live because you can’t save up enough to make that happen. It’s a nightmare where one clerk at a doctors office can put down spouse and ruin their lives and lead to one or both dying.

Marriage could mean losing life-saving benefits for people with disabilities. So they’re protesting.
I loooove getting to late game, going to war and having to land armies on 3 planets and 4 habitats in every. single. bloody. system. /s
Had amazing luck with Warby Parker. Way cheaper than Walmart out of pocket for much, much higher quality than any of the vision stores I’ve been to
I’d recommend an in-person game of Pathfinder or DnD. The great thing about the game for me is getting rid of the electronics for a while and trying to be as creative as possible. If you can think it up, and convince the DM, you can do it be anything you want. Be as creative as you want. Come up with a character and their backstory and have fun.
Once you’ve played for a bit and have a good handle on things trying DMing. I was more afraid than I should have been and found that it is a ton of fun. Between getting to come up with and run the games I like to add my own twists and turns, bring things from previous sessions in as a surprise and most of all I love to see the creativity from the players and seeing how they ~~fuck up all my carefully laid plans~~ come up with amazing ideas and surprise me.
It can be an amazing outlet and a place to make some new friends. If you find a group that doesn’t work with you don’t be afraid to find a different one though, and remember that it’s meant to be fun.
Wow, really glad I gave up when I did, wish it would have been sooner if I’m being honest though. That is a mess I’m glad I didn’t have to experience
Never had anything good at JitB. They tried opening multiple stores in my hometown on two separate occasions that I know of and both times all the stores kept being shut down for several health code violations and then lack of business following them. No one seems to miss them that I’ve spoken with
The men’s section at bath and bodyworks has some great smelling ones that work great and since a little goes a long way a bottle usually lasts me months. Pair that with an exfoliating poofy or whatever it’s called and it does a fantastic job, doesn’t leave a strong scent and does wonders for my skin.
For deodorant I use arm & hammer essentials. Works great, no aluminum parabens or phthalates, isn’t overpowering or super smelly like Old Spice and doesn’t cause any skin reactions.
