Car Trunk vs Car Boot: A clear win for US English, trunk was already a thing in which you stored items, frequently for transport.

Crisps vs Chips: I gotta admit, the Brits have this one. They're thin slices of potato that have been made crispy. No chipping of any materials involved.

Car Park vs Parking Lot: Equally matched. What's a car park? A place to park cars. What's a parking lot? An otherwise empty lot where you can park.

Elevator vs Lift: Both equally fail to address that the damn thing also goes down.

Man: Hey, want a ride? I'm heading that way anyway!

Me, a female presenting person walking home: No thanks, I do wanna get murdered or worse

Man: ...What..😨

Me: I didn't mean to say that last part out loud

Man: Okay... Have a nice day...

Me: Thanks!! You too!! *continues walking*

My lack of filter is either saving my life or murdering me. This happens outside a 7/11 btw

Does anyone got any tips on how to take care of a gerbil?

One came up to my sister and I while we were checking the mail, it's very friendly, not scared of our dog at all crawled right onto her nose 😂, clean and clearly was someone's pet

It's the winter and we didn't feel comfortable leaving her out there in the cold so we took her with us and sent word out that we have her with our contact info

Now it's just a waiting game to see if someone will claim her or if we're keeping her. Because this wasn't planned at all we're at a bit of a loss

We went out and got her what google said we needed for her, like obviously we got a cage, food, and water. We got her a wheel and a little house thing she can hide in, some treats and toys she can chew on and some hay

Does anyone know of anything else we may need? I want her to be as happy and healthy as possible.

Please be nice, we knew it's not great to get a pet before doing research on them and how to properly take care of them but it was either take her in or let her die 😭

Here's a reminder to fight the internalized sanism/ableism in your head.

If you have executive dysfunction, don't compare your productivity to people who don't.

If you have anhedonia, don't compare your struggling to keep up with hobbies to someone who doesn't.

If you have paranoia, don't think of your fears as any less valid than the fears of someone who doesn't.

If your meds make you tired constantly, don't compare your energy levels to someone who doesn't take those meds.

If you have issues with concentration, then you won't be able to pay attention as well as someone who doesn't.

If you're in the deep end of a pool, then you can't compare how well you keep your head above water to someone who is standing in a kiddie pool.

Please try to think of these things when you feel "lazy" or "childish" or "a failure" compared to other people that don't struggle with the same symptoms as you. If you have a mental illness that will affect how you act in everyday situations, then it will in fact affect you in everyday situations. It's not an excuse, it's just a reality. We need to try to be kinder to ourselves.
