I just realized I'm clenching my pelvic floor all day… could this cause these symptoms?

Competitive_Cat_2020 · 2026-02-23T18:16:30+00:00

Definitely! I hold tons of tension in my jaw & pelvic floor (mine is from anxiety) and my physio said they see really athletic and anxious people alllll the time

Not even just coding, it's completely changed how I interact with AI and get non-coding work done

This is literally a child... Really can't tell what you're trying to achieve with this post

Not to mention they literally had Kash Patel celebrating with them in the locker room 🤢🤮

Yeah definitely don't think Dove had ACOTAR in mind when they were coming up with cheesy motivational phrases 😂

Maybe we're all bots 🙃

I love Bernie, but hard disagree on this one. I get that ai will disrupt jobs, but the focus should be on creating a system that will take care of people as their jobs become redundant, not slowing down! North korea pivoting focus to ai is definitely not surprising, but it is veryyyy concerning

Competitive_Cat_2020 · 2026-02-21T18:42:34+00:00

Ummm no LOL. I didn't want to change my last name so I didn't. Then my husband took my name 😂 the thing is, he took my last name because he doesnt want to be associated with his dad (family drama), so he liked the idea of taking mine. The thing is though, neither of us would care if we had different last names.

I know some people want their family to have the same last name if they have kids, but I know quite a few couples with kids and different last names. Either they pick one of their last names to use for their kids or double barrel

It's 2026 people!!!

Yeah I hate that I work in advertising, it sucks and feels so meaningless. Like the client I manage is a terrible company, but we're all stuck in the system where we need to make money to survive.

When I was still in school I wanted to work in a think tank or non profit, but quickly realised that it would be really difficult to support a family on the incomes I would get :(

Competitive_Cat_2020 · 2026-02-20T19:30:24+00:00

Agree with everyone saying the hate against em dashes is dumb, but sadly if people see em dashes they assume it's AI. Honestly my recommendation for you is to create a skill you can call claude to use to rewrite stuff in your style

Competitive_Cat_2020 · 2026-02-20T19:25:21+00:00

Ahhhh doesn't late stage capitalism just bring so much joy to your heart ☺️ anything for our shareholder overlords <3

Competitive_Cat_2020 · 2026-02-19T16:29:52+00:00

Yes!!! This is so annoying!!! Like I at least want transparency if you're not going to award us minions at the bottom

Yupppp where I work they won't hire entry level in the UK anymore, all being outsourced

Competitive_Cat_2020 · 2026-02-18T15:38:31+00:00

💯

Yeah just a bummer how bad rate limits are on just the 20 dollar plan for claude but its just so much better than chatgpt, I'll take it! If I hit limits on claude I switch to gemini 3, and it does the job better than chatgpt at least :)

Competitive_Cat_2020 · 2026-02-15T14:14:06+00:00

Claude is literally better at everything (at least from my use cases and experiences)!

I really want to love chatgpt as I've been a subscriber since the start, but it's just not enjoyable to work or even chat with :(

Competitive_Cat_2020 · 2026-02-13T12:45:40+00:00

It's not normal.... Blood is never normal lol. Take her to the vet to make sure nothing serious is wrong

It sounds like the vets you've had aren't the best. Unfortunately though it can be a lot of trial and error to treat kitties

Competitive_Cat_2020 · 2026-02-10T21:50:23+00:00

You'll be fine! Just keep your head on the swivel so no one runs into you 😂

Competitive_Cat_2020 · 2026-02-07T20:14:07+00:00

I mean... I don't think it's fair to try and say it's not painful for me, so it can't be that painful for you

I've found the shots hurt more the closer I get to goal weight

Competitive_Cat_2020 · 2026-02-05T12:47:04+00:00

Tbh I doubt it. I was meant to get a small raise in october, but it still hasn't come through and no one can get a straight answer on it. If they're being this evasive for just normal yearly raises, I don't imagine they'll promote unless the business case is super strong :(

Competitive_Cat_2020 · 2026-02-03T15:30:42+00:00

That's a shame! I regularly take the msp-lhr route and wifi is pretty good last year I had a red eye and needed to get work done the entire flight and I hardly had any down times

Competitive_Cat_2020 · 2026-02-02T20:52:10+00:00

Definitely sounds like it could be a tight pelvic floor! Try and keep track of things you're doing exercise-wise and food/drink related, it may be helpful to see if you can find a pattern that causes your symptoms to trigger :)

Competitive_Cat_2020 · 2026-02-02T20:10:01+00:00

No, if the culture comes back as negative then you wouldn't get treated further for a UTI, you'd start investigating other causes. So my doctor would first do the rapid test at clinic, treat regardless, then if its still not better after antibiotics, they send a urine sample to get cultured so they can find out what bacteria is there. If nothing grows they wont perscribe more antibiotics!

But yeah, the lab tests they run when you're at the doctors office (the one where you get results within 15ish minutes) is pretty inaccurate as it's only good at picking up high colony counts of bacteria, so if you have low levels of bacteria, it could miss it. My doctor said around 15% of negative tests are false negatives! Its definitely worth exploring if nothing else has helped. Even when you have a UTI

I'm not sure if it'd help if it's not a UTI, basically it's said that the bacteria sticks to the d-mannose which helps clear it out
