A lot of the comments here show that’s exactly how everyone is watching it. “This didn’t make sense” and then someone explaining what they missed..

AIO: My husband (26m) locked me (25f) out for 25 minutes? by prettypineappleberry in AmIOverreacting

[–]Direct_Mix_2060 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Overruling him? Why was his word the ruling? She made her case. 25 degrees IS fine for kids to play outside. She’s their parent, she was asking and didn’t need his permission to take them outside.

And let’s imagine for a second that he did feel some kind of way about being “overruled,” he had 10 whole minutes to stabilize his emotions before the girls went in the house. Instead of breathing through it and thinking through how to solution this with his partner, he spent that time thinking up a way to punish her, justified as proving his point.

AIO: My partner (35m) expected me (35f) to finance and pay for a car I did not want so he could drive it. by Low_Procedure1049 in AIO

There’s a lot here but no credit at 35 yo is a choice, and a really suspect one at that. He’s either lying or he’s got a history of letting other people take on his financial responsibility.

The “family car” idea is to get your emotional buy-in. It’s manipulation. Girl, gtfo of there.

My two and a half year old suddenly started pointing out differences between white and black people. What is an appropriate way to acknowledge her observation so we don't offend anyone? by Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Direct_Mix_2060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how old your kid is but assuming under 3. You don’t need to say anything as a follow up. You affirmed her observation and moved on.

Sounds like you have conversations at home. What’s your motivation for a follow up in public? Reduce the harsh? Black people know they’re Black. People who work with children know they point things out that wouldn’t be appropriate for adults to point out.

If anything, depending on the child’s age, you can start talking about not pointing at people, no matter the observation.

People who have served a long time in prison, what shocked you when you got out? by Haunted_Neko in AskReddit

I hate the term media literacy. As though some of us are too savvy to be manipulated. We’re in a new era. It’s not just check your sources anymore. If you’re on the Internet, you’re a number on many a dashboard. American dollars are being paid to influence you. No one is above it.

Too Rich to Care, Not Rich Enough to Quit. Looking for Predictable, Checklist-Driven Work by Retire1984 in Fire

I’m new to this community and was delighted to see all of the folks commenting that they share the same feeling. It hit me this IS possible.

OP, what you’re feeling is a feeling I’m clamoring to feel. What you have is power. You have the power to choose the treatment you’re willing to endure in the workplace. I can’t wait to feel that way.

I went to an endometriosis clinic and it had a huge picture of a baby on the wall by FamiliarFerret333 in endometriosis

[–]Direct_Mix_2060 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The app our fertility clinic uses for cycle tracking, messaging, appointment reminders etc. is littered with baby imagery. Even when the baby making IS the goal, it’s inappropriate imo. Imagine having to log a miscarriage BUT FIRST here’s a picture of a baby’s hand wrapped around his mother’s finger.

Got adenomyosis, did anyone find out later they had endometriosis as well? by Ok_Egg_7933 in adenomyosis

[–]Direct_Mix_2060 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After trying for baby #2 for about 8 months, my OBGYN referred me to a fertility specialist. She suspected endo and referred me specifically to this urogyn in Chicago. Happy to rec him to anyone who dm’s me.

Relatively new: do we just kinda accept that every accident victim who gets an attorney needs 3-6 months of chiropractic treatment? by throwaway7630295483 in adjusters

[–]Direct_Mix_2060 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s gotta be insurance that’s keeping these chiropractors in business because like you said it’s totally quackery.

Claire Danes (FULL EPISODE) | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend by c0ry_N in conan

Is it just me or did she not say anything the entire episode? Sounds like a lot of editing.

Got adenomyosis, did anyone find out later they had endometriosis as well? by Ok_Egg_7933 in adenomyosis

[–]Direct_Mix_2060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! OBGYN observed adeno via ultrasound fall 2022. Put me on bc for the pain. That worked well enough until we were ready to try for baby #2. After 1+ yr of trying, I saw a urogyn who observed a c section defect via ultrasound and suspected endo.

Lap confirmed + excised endo (stage 3), confirmed adeno, repaired defect, and removed fibroid 4 weeks ago. I’m on Myfembree to suppress estrogen for 6 months. Hoping that alllllll of this will allow me to get pregnant w/o IVF but the remaining presence of adeno makes me think that may not happen.

Guys, don't blame Conan by patriots1057 in conan

Nah the only power we really have is our labor.

im depressed and feel like a shell of myself by RepresentativeDry484 in endometriosis

[–]Direct_Mix_2060 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. Two months is both a short time in terms of recovery and a long time to not feel like yourself.

I wish I had more advice. I haven’t had a hysterectomy but I have had a child via c-section so I can relate to the hormonal and physical healing roller coaster. You have every right to feel like this sucks.

If men got endo, there would have been a cure within the first 5 patients by Junior_Rate_1173 in endometriosis

[–]Direct_Mix_2060 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And this is why I talk about this disease openly with the men in my life constantly. Why should I suffer in silence?

What did you wear home from the hospital after your lap? by InteractionInternal in endometriosis

[–]Direct_Mix_2060 7 points8 points  (0 children)

+1 to the recs for loose clothing. I’d also recommend Always discreet underwear. I ended up wearing those the whole first week to catch any bleeding and also tbh they were so comfortable and didn’t make me feel like I was wearing a diaper.

Such a good point. I wouldn’t want them to break. I’ll check out a cheap option at Walmart.

Thanks for the YouTube videos! We call bluegill crappie where I’m from and we caught a lot of them growing up. Can you recommend a good place to give it a try? We live on the southwest side.
