I love genuine questions and people putting in the effort to love and understand each other better. If you come at me just wanting to argue I’m going to troll you back. FAFO.
yeah it didn’t hurt nearly as bad as when it went in but it wasn’t comfortable (I caught the string while pulling my diva cup out) and it turned out completely fine I didn’t seem to have torn anything and I just went and got a new one placed a few weeks later, I could imagine it doing some damage especially if someone else was doing it.

exactly.
I’m going through the bible right now actually and I’m kind of tempted to livetweet it (well, toot since it’s mastodon). I just got through the bit where Abraham lets the Egyptian Pharaoh cuckhold him for money then gets kicked out of Egypt when the pharaoh finds out Abraham isn’t is only Sarah’s half brother but is also definitely married to her and that’s why everybody in Pharaohs house is cursed. The best part is Abraham keeps the money though, so at least letting his half-sister cuck him pays off in the end. Then there’s this:
I really wish there was a good Christian community on here I was raised fundie and I’ve really been getting back to my roots and I’m having the absolute BEST time.
Yeah I had a coworker tell me she couldn’t personally justify using hormonal birth control because she read that it’s possible for it to prevent a fertilized embryo from adhering to the uterine lining but like:
Arguments about at what point it becomes a human being or has human rights are all just emotion-inducing distractions to shift the conversation away from the actual discussion of bodily autonomy and consent. We don’t forcibly rip skin off of dad when the baby gets burns, or hold him down and bleed him when the baby needs a transfusion, and we all agree it’s a person at that point. Whether or not the fetus is a person is irrelevant to the conversation. Getting people to say they don’t think it’s a person is just another way to maintain it as a political issue: “look they don’t think babies are people!”
They also don’t want to have that conversation because if the argument becomes about what kindnesses and service they owe to their fellow humans in general, they become uncomfortable very quickly.
Its literally just a high dose of normal hormonal birth control btw. So it’s just a more effective in an emergency but slightly less safe version. Letting y’all know in case somebody tries to tell you CVS is selling abortions now.
Also don’t use it as regular birth control. If you find yourself using it a bunch you probably need to look into better types of birth control. If the problem is specifically that your partner is interfering with or preventing you from using normal hormonal birth control (and especially if you need something undetectable while you work out an exit strategy) you should try to talk to a doctor about the depo provera shot. It’s like a flu shot and once it’s in it’s undetectable for the three months it’s effective for. And even if he did somehow find out you got it, he can’t cut or rip it out like he could with an implant.
(I accidentally pulled my own IUD out, and I’m pretty sure my gyn was lowkey convinced my boyfriend did it. Apparently that’s a thing.)
possible? the only question is if we can prove it.
As an elaboration; vaccines do exist for cancer causing viruses such as Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) which causes cervical cancer, but “cancer” is an extremely broad term that describes the general concept of cells replicating too much or in places they shouldn’t, and applies to many many different disease processes with many different causes and treatments.
It’s one more click, why fix what ain’t broke?
Idek what that is I learned ctrl-alt-del 20 years ago and haven’t needed to learn anything else since.
It was simpler using Linux to just kill things unceremoniously, but my coworkers are also consistently amazed when Epic throws a temper tantrum (rare, but it happens) and I walk over and ctrl-alt-delete and tell it to sit down and shut the fuck up until it’s ready to reboot and act right.

I keep trying to explain to people that prisoners (or I guess in this case rehabbing addicts) should have to grow and cook their OWN food, make and wash their OWN clothes, clean and maintain their OWN housing, but that any unpaid work they do for the wider society fundamentally incentivizes imprisoning people. Sometimes I get people to understand, but idk that it really sticks long enough for them to be outraged by it.
