things i'm glad #conanexiles did while i was not playing it: optimizing so it runs better

things i wish conan exiles had also done while i was not playing it: WHY ARE ROOFTOPS STILL SO FUCKING FINICKY THAT WAS LIKE PULLING TEETH LAST NIGHT AND NOW I HAVE WEIRD PILLARS EVERYWHERE, THANKS.

@Lumb fortunately they've actually managed to reduce the turnaround time lately

but, well, it's still a long time unfortunately

the good news is that the legit lawyers who do disability are halfway to social workers a lot of times - it's not really a specialty you go into for the money alone lol - so they might know resources available to you immediately as well (fingers crossed!)

@Lumb don't give up tho!! like i said it's a bastard of a system and... is really good at trying to grind people down unfortunately

that's about all i have in terms of Top Tips honestly, but if there's anything more i can help with totally feel free to come pester me!!! the best of luck to you! <3

@Lumb no problem! if you look for a lawyer, look exclusively for one where you don't need to pay anything to them, but they instead take their pay as a cut of the like "back pay" they do (when you get disability, they'll go "oh ok, so you've been disabled since x, so you'll get benefits going forward, but also we're going to pay you like we've been paying you since x", usually split up into about 3 big lump sums). that's how to avoid the dodgy lawyer motherfuckers, basically.

@Lumb good luck!!! i'm sending you all the best energy i possibly can!!!

you're probably well on top of it, but if you don't have a lawyer, definitely look into getting one - and don't be discouraged if you get rejected the first time around. honestly they reject absolutely everyone the first time around and seem to only sit and look at the evidence eventually if there's a lawyer's name in there somewhere too. it's a fucking bastard of a system at first for sure. :(

as i listen to #sawbones , here is an excellent rock band name:

honestly as a diabetic the amount of people who tell me i should do the keto diet is Too Damn High, and i need to smack all of them in the face with the wikipedia entry for diabetic ketoacidosis

so i may have gone on an extended rant on facebook about how most diets are just eating disorders with good press departments.

because they are. they really are.

especially keto. i'm fucking coming for you, keto. you're a load of bullshit, keto. fuck you, keto.

so, the hot makeup tips for working around a face mask is to go all out with your eyes, right

@ruth i think your dog has an epic quest for us and i would like to accept it

so last night my dog tucked herself in VERY cutely, even making a pile of blankets into a pillow for her head

i tried to capture this cuteness

instead i got some highly relateable moods.

a thing that happened yesterday that i just now remembered to post:

urgent care doc: how have your blood sugars been running with this cold?
