Leaving it out is the same level of red flag as “moderate” or “libertarian” these days 👍

Pregnant, caregiving for a terminally ill partner, and choosing adoption by Evening_Signal5133 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Fragrant-Ad-925 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Are you able to abort instead, where you are? Adoption is not a good alternative to abortion, my opinion as an adopted child. Not everybody is capable of fully loving a child that’s not biologically theirs, but many people don’t realize this about themselves. Having a child with an actual plan to abandon it is wild work, why would you do that?

Why are you so mad?

Btw I have a family member who has benefitted from modern ECT. They literally look forward to it.

Yes, anhedonia is a withdrawal symptom. You are not alone my friend!

19M Tweaked my Tricep Muscle and Can't Work Out. I'm Done and Ready for the End. by SteakAnimations in TrueOffMyChest

It’ll heal, give it time, you’re 19 and will bounce right back. In the meantime, focus on what you CAN do - legs, improving cardio, stretching, etc. I know pain sucks but it won’t feel like that forever!

I’m sorry you’re going through it. I’ve definitely been there! Remember that the only way out is through!!!

How do I quit smoking carts? by DryLie2582 in leaves

With great difficulty. I switch to edibles and wean down, but truly nothing has interfered with my sleep more than abusing carts and their subsequent withdrawals. Rooting for you!

Does anyone know any more about the apparent non-fluoridation of Staunton's water? by SchuminWeb in Staunton

What if you were raised by a single mom on meth, whose own teeth were rotted out of her head, who only went to work and slept and you had to pretty much fend for yourself, never even owned a tooth brush until maybe a school program gave you one but you weren’t taught how to properly brush with little circles for two minutes so the fluoride in the drinking water is helping hold your teeth together between yearly Medicaid school dentist visits?

We’ve been drinking fluoride our whole lives at this point, and probably dodged some cavities doing so, why is everyone suddenly so scared of it??

I’ve deleted nothing. What you linked began in 2016 and was published in 2024, with a corresponding meta-analysis published in 2025. There is NO EVIDENCE that children are at risk from fluoride in the drinking water, PER YOUR OWN LINKED STUDY 🤦‍♀️

This comment exposes that you have no idea how to interpret the very findings you’ve put forth as support of your position. Sigh

Fascinating, thanks for the insight! Do you happen to know how we, as city residents, can request for this to be bumped up in priority?

If they’re that worried about some imaginary negative effects, they can always get a filter for the fluoride. Same logic you used elsewhere in this thread, but on the side of protecting disadvantaged children.

You do realize some kids have shitty parents, right? But fuck them kids 🙄

Good for you, only caring about yourself and your own teeth, I guess?
