I was teaching my native English speaking students German and explained that woher and wohin are like whence and whither, and the looks of utter unrecognition made me realize I was doing this. I tried for a moment with “thence and thither? Hence and hither?” And 4/7 knew “hence,” but that was it, and it’s not really used in the same sense as the others, anyway (I mean, it is, but it’s metaphoric and most people saying it probably aren’t thinking of it in that sense).

That one luckily not so far. I do get lightheaded upon standing sort of often, just not enough to lose consciousness or anything like that.

No, not at all, I appreciate the insight and would love to have been given a hint about the gender thing younger. I didn’t realize those were related to sweating at all, and frankly I thought the flexibility was ED, the eating habits were ADHD, and the gender was autism, so I’m surprised you got all that. I know they’ve got high comorbidities, but I’m very interested in what links those specific symptoms.

I normally eat a bunch of tofu and legumes, so I get a lot of protein generally. Currently I’m doing a lot of (high protein and sugar free) skyr alternative that I mix with oats, almonds, chia seeds, frozen berries, and puffed amaranth, which is pretty nutritious, I just have to eat it very early or very late

lol, every tenth comment includes “probably an egg,” you mind reader

Not currently, lol, because eating makes me hot and it’s 38C. This has been the case for my entire life, through many years of more scheduled eating, though.

It happens for me no matter what. I’m talking about perceived warmth, because my actual temperature is only relevant if it’s outside of the healthy range, so I only measure it when I’m sick.

I have both ehlers danlos and adhd, so absolutely, yes.

I don’t think conviction with any crime should bar you from office, because that incentivizes the party in power to find ways to convict its opponents.

I am vegan, so maybe that’s part of why I’m often chilly in the winter, but eating generally warms me up. That’s fine in the winter, but in the summer it makes eating anything substantial difficult.

Right, that’s why the rest of it is their fault, but not the sweat.

Also you can use antiperspirants.

Unless I cover my whole body in it, somewhere is going to be sweaty. And I don’t think it’s a great idea to hinder my ability to cool myself.

Oh, yeah, I don’t tolerate the heat at all compared to other people, but I always tell myself the sweating is a consequence of that, and I’m actually cooling myself very well. Otherwise, I’ll go insane.

But I mean internal to myself, as in not a separate device.

You can certainly be a sweaty Bernard (or Freddy), but I am also in better times a chilly Willy and I reject the nickname chilly lily. Sometimes I’m also a cryin O’Brien, which sounds more neutral, but I am picturing this.

(Side note:) I think the heat is getting to my brain, I would normally be very embarrassed to share the “baby talk” I use with my husband with people. Maybe my ability to cringe is related to the temperature.

The sweaty part isn’t their fault, especially last week in London, but the rest is.

Signed, a person with a very efficient internal cooling system real sweaty Betty

In humanity. Some people exclude others because of the order in which they apply spreads to scones, some because they disagree about whether the bread they’re eating is literally or metaphorically a man’s body, and some because they like a different sports team.

Why on earth would I do that? It needs to be removed, not pushed onto deaf and hoh communities, who still feel the effects of constant vibration without the benefit of being able to sense its sources.

I did and can’t hear it. Apparently it’s like a conversation and a highway.

Yeah, necessities should always be cheaper for individuals than for businesses. Worst case if the business can’t pay for it: it shuts down. Worst case if an individual can’t pay for a need: the individual straight up dies.

There’s a lot of things I think should be the case that are more likely to happen though

For me it is and I’m an underweight woman not in menopause. I’m probably an outlier, but I have to imagine if you changed any of those factors, it would be far worse.

Subtract 32, divide by nine, and multiply by five.

Or subtract thirty and halve it for a rough estimate

It would have been really easy for them to learn why we vaccinate large groups of people living in close quarters.
