If you're comfortable with the idea, consider buying a second hand water bottle to save money. I have bought second hand water bottles on Poshmark and they were in pretty good condition.

I have heard that it is common for woman and girls to be recommended minimizer bras at the Orthodox run lingerie stores

The last set of images, with the "Not Kosher" image showing one woman's curves being noticable, reminds me of how I was self-conscious about my curves as a teenager. I struggled to find skirts that would not show the shape of my butt, because apparently women and girls are supposed to hide their bodies.

That book changed my life. It was the first time I felt that my trauma was "seen" and acknowledged. I really benefitted from the part about subconscious beliefs you might be holding.

I disregarded the whole section of the book that talk about having a confrontation with your parents. I don't think that would be beneficial to me at all. The book also contains a lot of outdated information so take what works for you.

When I first heard of the concept of the "fear of being perceived," it explains so much about me.

If you're in the USA, there are some online banks with high yield savings accounts that can give you the same interest rate. Most of my emergency savings are in Wealthfront.

Maybe you are allergic to the material?

For breakfast must days, I "cook" a pack of Nissin ramen by putting it in a bowl and pouring boiling water over it and leaving for 5 minutes. Sometimes I add a cup of soy milk, and it's about 16 grams of protein in total. I used to add TVP (textured vegetable protein) to the bowl of ramen so it could cook along with the ramen.

I was taught in Bais Rivkah (Chabad girls' school) that a generation is over when a new Rebbe is appointed. So no new Rebbe means we are still the same generation. How convenient! I never heard of the 40 years, but that sounds interesting

Not sure if this organization is specifically addressing the issue of people who have no access to electricity, but this article that someone posted on this subreddit recently ( https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/12/2/20976180/climate-change-best-charities-effective-philanthropy ) Mentions the organization Energy for Growth Hub,.which focuses on ending energy poverty

OMG, I was told that I might need an implant soon and I didn't even know this was a thing

Unfortunately, whey isn't a prime component of most cheeses. The milk is separated into curds and whey, and the curds are what becomes the cheese. Ricotta cheese is a notable exception, so maybe someone should work on making vegan dairy ricotta

Just be aware that mint can be an invasive species, OP is taking precautions because of that

It's actually pea, not peanut . However, peanut milk does exist. There are recipes to make it at home, but I'm it sure if they sell it in stores

I sometimes mix this with a can of beans, and rice or quinoa, and it is amazing

Same!

I haven't actually used this website (it's been in an open tab on my phone browser for months now 😭), but I've seen this site recommended for ADHD friendly recipes https://grapeslauren.com/

I used to share a room with my sister, and one day I (female) wore pants outside of the house. I think I put a long skirt over it before I came home. The next day I realized that I left the pants hanging over the side of my bed with some other clothes. I panicked and was waiting for her to say something to me, but she never did. I think she just didn't notice it

I once heard a YouTuber (I think Lena Norms) say that she cut up an old hot water bottle to make a gripper to open bottles

I haven't tried this, but I have seen people online recommending getting a mat if you are getting a standing desk so you don't stay stuck standing in one position, which will likely lead to cramps. Specifically I have seen people recommend the Topo mat

Really good to know, thanks!

I made this once and I don't remember if I liked it or not. It uses nutritional yeast and tahini. This recipe calls for microwaving the pasta, but you can use the same sauce for pasta that you cooked on the stove. https://www.marystestkitchen.com/microwave-vegan-mac-and-nooch-for-one/#recipe
