Yep. Like "You could achieve so much if only you put in a little effort". 🗡️😵 Thanks for noticing how much effort I put in, I'll be sure to try again in the future.

Yep. I had someone "explain" to me that the only reason I had morals was that I was a good god fearing Christian. Because they couldn't fathom the idea that someone could treat others well and not want to harm anyone without fearing god. When I said I'm an atheist they absolutely refused to believe me. Like they walked away from the conversation convinced I am Christian solely because I'd never killed anyone.

Bingo. Like I don't need the threat of eternal punishment to not hurt people. I don't hurt people because it's wrong.

only ever had one that tried to sneak around.

Oh, so you do understand that some cats try to sneak around, but decided to be judgemental about something you have experience with.

Yep, hypocrisy is great ain't it? I've had people tell me that being LGBT is a religion and therefore it shouldn't be allowed to be taught to children, and then in the same paragraph say that all kids should be raised Christian. I've also had people tell me I was too young to know in my mid 20s that I wanted a hysterectomy, but then turn around and defend circumcision. Here's the thing though, while yes, I did want a hysterectomy, it was done for medical necessity. In a two sentence comment someone defended newborn circumcision, and then told me my doc should be in jail "for mutilating the genitals of a child". Because apparently people in their 20s are children.

Yep. Like literally. I had a "bedtime Bible stories for kids" book. Nothing like a nice story about planet wide genocide to help your kid fall asleep.

Yep, like just like everything else, not everything works for everyone. I've been awake for 26+ hours to the point I'm hallucinating and still unable to fall asleep. But apparently I just have to wait till I'm tired enough. As if being awake for 26 hours straight isn't enough? I also can generally make it so I can be awake at the right time if left to my own devices. Which is why I'm really glad I'm out of my parents house, because they would decide "you've been sleeping long enough" and wake me up an hour after I fell asleep.

Yep, it's just practice, lots and lots of practice. I did it while making eggs- if I did it right I fried them, if I broke the yokes scrambled eggs it is. I was taught by an actual chef in culinary camp, but it took me awhile to actually get the technique down. I can one hand crack, but only if I don't care about the yoke staying together.

Ugh, relatable.

Yep, that's what I was told every time I brought up my sleep issues. Yeah, it's been a few decades and surprise it's never worked. Overtired me tends to be awake for longer. And then when I eventually crash, because it is inevitable, I crash HARD and sleep for 10+ hours completely dead to the world. Thankfully so far I haven't slept through anything super important. I can only go to sleep quickly if I run myself absolutely ragged.

Oof, I feel that. At least it's better than the days it's 9am and I woke up at 7am...the previous day.

Yep, I'm pretty sure I have ADHD and crocheting is great for occupying my hands.
