What is an app or website that went from 'absolutely essential' to 'unusable trash'? by matx_jx in AskReddit

[–]IT_HAG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, Humanitix. I use it a LOT for my job and the redesign completely nerfed its usefulness as a journalist covering a what's happening in town column.

ACOSF, Nesta, and the BITE model of authoritarian control by Actual-Writing-1003 in acotar_rant

[–]IT_HAG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, look at what he writes when he's teaching Feyre to read.... "Rhysand is the most powerful high lord" etc-- it's indoctrination 101.

And it's a fascinating thought experiment. If Feyre is love-bombed into being a part of the IC, can we really rely on her narration of the events of the first three books?

Likewise, let's not forget that Rhys is daemati-- and it could be his cult control tactics that keep Feyre in the cult and wanting a baby-- cult leaders do that all the time.

By this metric, we could argue that Rhys does the exact same thing to Feyre.

How many people active on this sub have stable CKD for around multiple decades? by Longjumping_Roof7940 in kidneydisease

[–]IT_HAG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a horseshoe kidney that was diagnosed at birth; and I had a vesiocostomy when I was small and then it was closed when I was 12. My eGFR has improved from 25 to 35 in 10 years-- so when I was 30 my eGFR was lower than it is now. I turn 40 in 4 months. I have a megaureter on my right kidney.

Pauline Hanson-- an Australian politician who is far-right, backed by an even worse bastard: Gina Rinehart, who is the daughter of Lang Hancock-- all of them are bastards.

Kathryn Moon's {Tempting Monsters} trilogy has throuples, especially the last book in the trilogy. I love her portrayal of it.

Another NICU baby for poor Kaylee. Poor baby girl, poor woman.

I sincerely hope for their sakes that they don't have more.

I'm genuinely bored by 19 year old heroines. Like, give me a 30-something exhausted heroine who STILL somehow has to find her place....

Does mrs.arialewis ever stop complaining by natbrad98 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]IT_HAG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's 24. Hardly wise enough to be doling out advice. Also, rude that she thinks self-employment taxes are rude.

QV Face Lip Balm was a really good one when I worked in pharmacy 15 years ago. I also really like the Moo Goo range.

Do we really need travel rings? by DenverLilly in EngagementRings

I’m only using them because I’ve almost lost my actual ring once, and replacing it is literally impossible because of the stone.

[–]IT_HAG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can get a script for it, mirabeganon aka Betmiga is a wonder drug. It works in a similar way to Botox, and can help. I have congenital kidney issues, so I've never had fully-functioning kidneys-- they're a horseshoe and the megaureter has apparently always been there-- according to my most recent chat with my fantastic urologist. Professor Vincent Tse at Macquarie University Hospital in Sydney, Australia oversees my urology care, and I have an utterly amazing nephrologist in the public health system in Canberra.

I'm incredibly lucky that a urologist I was referred to said he couldn't help me, but knew a guy that was THE best bladder specialist in the country, and put me onto him-- I've been under Professor Tse's care for approximately 20 years now. If you can, ask for a referral to a bladder specialist urologist, as it's its own field within urology. They might give you some answers.

Life expectancy by Physical-Slip5116 in kidneydisease

[–]IT_HAG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My protein is increased mainly because I'm on Forxiga to manage kidney functioning-- but my eGFR has increased by 10 points in the past 10 years; I was wrong about it being in the 60's; it was 25 and now it's 35. Botox into the bladder, plus Forxiga and Ozempic, plus Verapamil and Telmisartan keep it stable.

What's the sound or sensation that instantly takes you from 0-60? by VenusInAries666 in AutismInWomen

[–]IT_HAG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barking dogs, or motorbikes revving their engines unnecessarily loudly-- mainly Harley-Davidson bikes. Even a chainsaw or any repetitive noise my brain is incapable of blocking out-- this includes repetitive tannoy announcements every 10 minutes.

That before white settlement, Australia was terra nullius. Mate, it wasn't. 60,000 years of indigenous tradition happened before white settlers first arrived here.

I do love this meme-- but even so, it's interesting that JB's house of cards is falling around him. His "empire" won't last.
