1·21 hours agoI have seen very little of the footage I’ve seen of ice through the media. What a weird assumption for you to make. I think they fuck it up because they’re constantly fucking it up.

5·21 hours agoI suspect it would still be better than if I disappeared into the bathroom on a quiet workday and came out a couple hours later, sweaty and having obviously cried.
I do take sick leave in general less often than male coworkers and partners have, so I’d probably just highlight that in my year end meeting.

5·21 hours agoFuck the pill, lol. My sex drive completely drops off a cliff, I gain a bunch of weight, and I’m tired all the time. Plus, the period I get after I stop is the really painful one.
As the other commenter said, it does increase your risk of some cancers, but it also reduces your risk of other cancers, so I don’t know enough to choose which ones.

10·1 day agoI get what I consider moderate periods, based on unscientific comparisons with friends. I had to go to the hospital once, and last year it put me on the ground, with shallow breathing, sweating, nausea for the better part of an hour.
The important thing is that mine only seems to be awful if I’m not doing anything. I know it’s not like this for everyone, but I’ve never been stricken down by cramps while in a rush at work or while physically exerting myself (I suspect cramps are correlated with flow speed and physical exertion or stress cause them to drop off at those times, but that’s entirely based on my own experience). It can be debilitating, but likely wouldn’t preclude me from being just as theoretically able to help in any given situation as a man.
I sure would benefit from not having to use sick time to cover for the very rare occasions that I get bad cramps before I go to work though.
In our bedrooms
Honestly? That’s way better, even though it feels grosser.
It’s entirely fair to want to get better at it, but those people probably couldn’t help you even if they were inclined to, because they’re bad at socializing- they invited someone whose socialization style doesn’t vibe with their party, then their response is to mock the guest for their own mistake.
Not everyone is like that, and not every neurotypical is like that. It’s hard to find a good group, but one exists for you.
Also, specifically regarding learning to socialize: you don’t necessarily have to get help from neurotypicals- that’s like having a math teacher who’s just naturally good at math, vs one who had to struggle to master it. You learn better from the latter if you’re not also gifted at math.

15·2 days agoI’m American and I moved to Germany a few years ago. The first time I went to a bathroom at my university with a soap grater, I laughed at it because it was so bizarrely old fashioned. Then I realized that the university I went to in the US had automatic soap dispensers that jammed up on a regular basis, and the soap graters were probably 50 years older than the dispensers and still worked perfectly.
That’s a good metaphor for my life in the US compared to Germany, I think. I don’t have a car or a microwave, but I don’t need them and actually live better without them. I don’t have a freezer, which sucks, but I do probably eat better because of it. I have two less fancy and worse paying jobs that activate my brain and body better and afford more in fewer hours than my one job in the US.

I don’t think Liz truss is hotter than Rishi Sunak or 1953 QEII (if you want to count her as a leader). She’s probably tied with keir starmer imo.
The real question is: why are the UK’s leaders getting hotter?

2·4 days agoI think so, but I really vibe with that description. I don’t think humanity’s bad, I just rub people the wrong way much of the time in ways I can’t really perceive, so it feels like I don’t really “get it.” I do try though, and it seems like it often takes up all of my energy to pay attention to all of my body language and facial expressions so I don’t come off as rude.
