And how long before it’s decided that I’m being rude for not making eye contact or replying to a question wrong, and then my appearence/behaviour starts being scrutinised whenever they see me?

All my little otherwise mostly unoffensive differences then start piling up and adding to any negative feelings these people have about me, and then one day it’s decided that I’m just ‘too spacy’ so I must be ‘on drugs’ or my flinching at loud noises means I’m ‘proper crazy’.

Then if I keep going to this shop and I ignore the random smirking/whispering from behind the counter and/or the security guard following half a step behind me, and I write off any hostile or weird behaviour towards me as these people obviously just having a bad day as surely it can’t be my fault, I don’t even recognise them etc, … you can guess how charming people start being then, I’m sure.

If you’re outwardly likable, relatable and able to be all chatty smiles and eye contact with everyone you meet, people are going to be much nicer to you because they’ve assumed much nicer things about you.

Due to this, you probably only have pleasant connotations with frequenting places where you are noticed by for your habits by strangers.

Shopping online is much less stressful imo. And if I want a fresh cheesecake, I make it myself.

I’m glad this has been your experience and that you have a safe community.

Nope, I do not want to be recognised. The notion of being remembered and/or having random people think of me like that, is fucking horrifying. Attracting any attention of this sort makes me feel me unsafe and I will go out of my way to avoid it as I do not want my purchases tampered with or to be harrassed.

Being a disabled but somewhat attractive ‘woman’ makes people think they can get away with all sorts of shitty behaviour towards me and to keep putting myself in situations where they can, is stupid and basically just asking to be fucked with.

Alas. What is IANAP tho?

IANAP

I Am Not A Person?

Screw worm is a parasitic blowfly that eats by burrowing into living mammal flesh.

Switch to rye bread and rice noodles and problem solved.

I honestly don’t understand how people in the food and animal agriculture industries, people who know just how poor the hygeine standards usually are and how terrible the quality of life for the ‘product’ is, can still eat stuff harvested from these animals.

And the toxic bio waste from these farms is spread over feilds as ‘fertiliser’ that poisons the land, destroys the nearby water sources, and sickens the people who eat the vegetables.

This toxic bio waste is also fed to other animals, ‘chicken litter’ is the shit and dropped feathers scraped up from industrial chicken farms and it’s sold as cow feed ffs. Pigs are fed ground up refuse food waste, plastic packaging and rot and all.

And if you work in kitchens, you will have seen the pus filled absesses in the pork and beef, and the bloated, broken chicken legs with their discoloured burns from where the hens grew so fast their legs broke under them and couldn’t move out of their own excrement anyway because their cages are so small.

How can people know this and still consider eating these diseased and tortured animals for food? Let alone good food.

Ugh, sorry for ranting, this is just so fucking disgusting and I can’t comprehend how people keep eating like this and supporting these practices.

Edit: I will try the salt water thawing for the soy beans in my freezer, thank you for the tip!

Ooh, which veg?

My body just wants to sleep. If I listened to it I could easily do 16h+ sleeps every day. It’s a fucking daily battle to exist in the real world and stay awake long enough to get anything done.
