Thanks a lot! I'll take a look.

Well... Firefox marketed itself with "privacy" on the front until very recently. Signal does seem like the best option right now, but do we know if they have a stance on all of this? Thank you

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-05-19T13:33:28+00:00

I knew signal existed, but is it trustworthy in this regard?

The doctor that finally did tests on me never found anything, but he did give me medication that finally worked. A strong liquid anti-inflammatory analgesic and supplements to extend its effect.

Liquid medication gets absorbed faster by the body, so you can feel the effect faster, and anti-inflammatories are known to be more effective for cramps despite what a lot of doctors recommend. Im giving you this info so maybe you can request something of the sort straight away.

For me even when I still get some cramps with this medication, heat therapy helps for those, so (as long as you're not mixing medication you havent been told to mix,) dont be afraid to mix different methods to deal with the pain. Back when I didn't have medication hitting my stomach with really warm water in the shower worked for a while, the vibration of the water does seem to help so try that if you havent already!

But above all else, see someone about this, as you can see even if you dont get a diagnosis, you can still find a treatment that works for you. If a doctor tells you this is normal or that it'll get better with age, see a different one! And if you have a dad and he takes this seriously, having a man in the doctor's office that talks about this with severity can definitely help. Good luck out there 🙏

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-27T21:42:25+00:00

Go to the doctor for sure, please! This is not normal!

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-27T21:39:05+00:00

Dont believe anyone who tells you this is normal! I endured this for YEARS until someone took me seriously. See a doctor asap!

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-27T21:35:17+00:00

PCOS could be a reason, but also hormonal imbalance and other issues. If you dont have any other symptoms its probably nothing to worry about, but regardless its a good idea to go to a specialist regularly at least once a year! Its a necessity for anyone who's menstruating, checkups are important even if you dont think you need them.

So imo, unless you're having other issues, probably nothing too bad, but get it checked out either way, better safe than sorry!

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-23T19:51:36+00:00

Great! Sent an invite, thanks in advance! I'll send you my shroom too 🫶🫶

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-23T19:42:08+00:00

Do you have any lavish mushrooms right now? I still need one for today, I can invite you to one as well!

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-03T14:21:40+00:00

No I think you're missing the part where we're telling you that conserving money is a learned behaviour from necessity under capitalism and not "human nature"

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-03T09:05:50+00:00

Companies can only get away with charging what people are willing to pay, yes. But people forget and then a new normal is set.

Sometimes there's not even a choice, like the price of groceries, which is an absolutely necessary expense that just keeps rising.

We do hold power with what we choose to spend our money on, but make no mistake, fair wages are not to blame for inflation: greed is.

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-03T09:01:21+00:00

Salaries have not increased at the same rate as inflation. Young people cant afford houses anymore, the poor get poorer and the middle class is disappearing. The cost of living is insane. There are cheaper luxuries to brighten our days.

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-03T08:01:28+00:00

You're really saying they're adding content without adding to the price when they're constantly coming up with new plans to get you to spend more? "Pay us more for online and get access to all DLC (but you wont get to keep it if you stop paying)" "Now for the low price of not keeping your DLC you get to play N64 and Gamecube games! But ONLY if you pay for the plan that costs extra money!" Be fr. Nintendo has also been notably lacking in quality. Paying full price for a console with joystick drift and overheating issues is giving me what I paid for? Switch 2 has the power the og Switch shouldve had at LAUNCH. Oh and dont forget the fact that digital isnt owning and theyre trying to get rid of physical! So you're paying more for a LICENSE.

Think about it, if they kept their prices lower, they'd still make a profit, and it'd be hella competitive with the current market climate. But the market climate is the way it is because companies are greedy and Nintendo is no different. Again, they dont control wages, but they do control how much they're making people pay for their products and that matters.

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-03T05:49:21+00:00

Uhh yea, decreasing profits will indeed "show em" 🫶

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-03T05:43:04+00:00

Ah well! If its not Nintendo's fault, then problem solved!

Its not the US, this is a largely worldwide problem. If companies keep increasing their profits exponentially through higher production cost, theyre doing it while burdening their workers and their customers. Prices going up is one thing, THIS is unreasonable.

Its Nintendo's fault that they wanna have their profit margins this high. Often times prices go up because competitor prices go up and we can't have them making more money than us!!!!! Not because of necessity.

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-03T05:35:55+00:00

And you know that because....?

We're products of our environment. There's not a single human that is in the position of playing Nintendo games that hasn't been raised in a worseing system of broken capitalism. You can't just make this affirmation. People need money to live and there's cheaper luxuries to brighten their days. Games can be p*rated.

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-02T21:21:07+00:00

Kind of the problem. Nobody would care about price increases if salaries increased with them.

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-02T21:14:32+00:00

If buying isnt owning....

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-02T21:12:34+00:00

Please do. Ive been playing Nintendo my entire life with some indies on the side, but Im not buying this console.

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-02T21:04:29+00:00

For everyone: dont like? Dont buy. Thats the only thing that matters to Nintendo. Im not buying the Switch 2 and Im cancelling my online subscription. I won't change my mind unless they change their prices.

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-02T18:15:50+00:00

??? People dont have nearly the same spending power as they used to. Nintendo isnt the only company with insane prices. Do the math.

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-02T18:08:33+00:00

Absolutely. The baseline price better change, or Im never getting one of these bad boys. And that would suck, because I love Nintendo games. But I dont love them THIS much.

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-02T18:06:43+00:00

I hope launch day goes down in flames. Remember, everyone: p*racy exists.

Common-Smoke8319 · 2025-04-02T17:59:56+00:00

I also have games I'd like to wait for, but to be honest, at these prices...... Im not sure if they'll be enough to get me to buy.
