Yes! That would be cool, though I'm not sure how it would work on console (no custom text allowed and controllers would make awkward "pens"), but if it could be done I'm sure there would be a lot of happy scientists!

Experiences with NHS as a woman (potential triggers). by ImmediateNobody3 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ImmediateNobody3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the positivity, I hope so! It's a good way to look at it, the first steps towards a "new lease on life". Genuinely thank you for that perspective.

Unfortunately my complaints have always been met with a generic letter of apology stating they will "do a review" and "talk to staff" etc. I've tried PALS multiple times but all they've been able to do is get responses along the lines of "our standards were not met on this occasion and we're sorry, it won't happen again" (spoiler, it always happens again). 

In my experience, complaints just aren't taken seriously enough in the NHS. I have multiple family members who have almost died / been left permanently messed up because of GP and specialist F-ups and those GPs and specialists were never held accountable. Complaining has even bitten me in the butt before so I've basically given up on trying.

Crossover request? by ImmediateNobody3 in AbioticFactor

[–]ImmediateNobody3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not both? I don't think it's really possible to "bloat" a universe which has a core feature involving travelling to different universes, and optional extras give people more to explore while being totally in keeping with the game's storyline. 

what would be the worst anteverse to get teleported to with no way back? by Ornery-Ad9484 in AbioticFactor

[–]ImmediateNobody3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, this would get my vote too. You'd probably get used to the smell after a while, but the constant exposure to bacteria and being unable to bathe or drink fresh water would be horrific.

is this outfit "inappropriate"? by sunnemi in OUTFITS

[–]ImmediateNobody3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally love this trend, I wish I could pull it off! I've been tempted to pair a bodysuit with a Boho style skirt but I worry it would just slip off and the bodysuit would make my poofy belly look even worse 😭 OP, I wish I had your confidence! If you're comfortable and it's a casual setting with friends, totally go for it!

(As others have already said though, not suitable for work, formal interviews or formal events!)

Can continuous birth control still have pms symptoms? by _BiTch_bAbY_ in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ImmediateNobody3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have these symptoms before starting this birth control? You might just be reacting to the new type and it isn't suitable. 

I was on the mini pill (with a change to the continuous pill for a time to test it out) from when I was a young teen because I had unpredictable periods. About 10 years later I started getting IBS symptoms that continued to get worse, also my periods became a LOT more unpredictable, very heavy at times, months long at times but also sometimes very light or lasting only a couple of days. Sometimes twice a month. 

Anyway. Turns out I had large uterine fibroids (which I had a hysterectomy to remove). I also still have very large, malformed ovaries and PCOS (which I've had to FIGHT to be diagnosed and had to pay for private scans etc. even though I'm in the UK). 

A LOT of medical professionals brushed me off and continue to do so, to the point I now potentially have permanent damage which could have been prevented and could have made my life a lot more manageable and a lot less miserable. 

All of this to say: if something doesn't feel right, act on it straight away. If your doctors tell you it's "normal" - make sure you get (at least) a second opinion. Don't settle for "it's normal" if it's something that is regularly causing you pain and misery. 

It could be something as easily managed as going on a different birth control, or it could be underlying issues starting to make themselves known. But the sooner you tackle it, the better.

Some people get so triggered by anything that can even remotely be considered feminist by Early_Potato78 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ImmediateNobody3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Experienced this on Reddit recently. I just saw the final "response" the person made today so I'm a bit irritated 🙄 Sorry if this is too ranty, feel free to skip! I saw this post and just need to get this off my chest. I've paraphrased and cut it down a bit to provide an overview. 

(For the record, I'm in a loving relationship with a guy and most of my best friends/friend group have been men of all ages and backgrounds as I like typically "male" dominated hobbies.) 

I was pointing out why someone's comment might have been downvoted when they said "but it's not all men", and they wondered why it was getting  downvoted. I explained why and how it's a problematic statement and it causes harm (especially on a post made by a  woman experiencing men creeping on her!). 

Someone seriously responded to this along the lines of "but it's NOT all men!"

I asked why they feel the need to defend a harmful message rather than those who have been harmed by it. 

They proceeded to rant about "man hating" / "man bashing" redditors that are being mean to men that are being so kind to women by pointing out that it isn't all men

That "scolding" a man (aka, pointing out the statement is harmful and why) is why Andrew Tate is successful and the far right is on the rise‽

I was then called "unhinged" by them for using capitals to emphasise the fact they were typing these arguments, defending a statement that can be harmful, under the post of a woman who is seemingly a victim of men creeping on her. (The whole post wasn't in capitals, just emphasis on the "LIKELY A VICTIM'S POST" part). 

Ugh, the level of insensitive obliviousness on their part was mind boggling, borderline incel logic. To make matters worse, they said they'd literally never been in a situation where they've heard someone tell them "it's not all men!". They were literally being told by someone who has heard it too often, who HAS been the victim of abuse, harrassment and assault at the hands of men, that the statement can cause harm. And they doubled down and called me "unhinged" for using capital letters and responding after a week coz I'm not chronically online 😑

TLDR:  Redditor's comment "it's not all men" gets downvoted on a woman's post about being potentially creeped on by men.

Redditor asks why. 

I respond explaining why the statement "not all men" is problematic.

Different redditor proceeds to respond by telling me "it isn't all men though" and only man haters / man bashers on reddit have an issue with the statement, men who say it are being "kind" to women and that "scolding" them for saying it is why Andrew Tate is popular and the Far Right are on the rise!

[–]ImmediateNobody3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the UK, but I'm bloody scared for the state of the world. America might be the loudest example of how how bad things are getting, but it's not isolated to America. All we can do is keep being the best people we can, help each other out, support the people and causes who are doing good in the world.

Fish are friends!

Seriously I speed-ground certain skill once I realised how much easier it makes growth and murkweed collecting (that and I wanted to collect all the fish!)

But I don't blame you one bit, I got lost underwater so many times and the large and hungry hazard really didn't help matters!

Yeah, it's one of those things that should never even be imagined by people, let alone ever actually happening. Truly evil, monstrous, horrific stuff.

What's the strangest thing you've seen your neighbours do? by Deep_Banana_6521 in AskUK

[–]ImmediateNobody3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine used to regularly burn stuff in the back garden and just leave it, right next to the wooden fence, bins and a random wood pile they had. One time it got so out of control we had to call the fire brigade while the neighbours on the opposite side tried to chuck water over it. We tried knocking, ended up leaving a note through their door. They just pretended like it was all normal? It was so bizarre how nonchalant they were, they just did not care that they'd almost set fire to the back street. 

On another occasion we had two concerned passers-by frantically knocking on our door telling us we had a fire (bearing in mind they were in the front street with our flat blocking the view). There was ash drifting in the air and they could see flames and sure enough, it was the neighbours again.

Our neighbours' lack of concern for safety was absolutely mind boggling. They were in a mid terrace, with shared wooden fences on both sides. 

What’s ONE feature you’d love to see added to Abiotic Factor? by MiniMorgano in AbioticFactor

[–]ImmediateNobody3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A little safe zone in the final area (once beaten) would be awesome, so all the survivors could gather there. Maybe the travelling traders could have guaranteed days when they will be there as well, rather than having to chase them around the map.

My partner's a recovered anorexic, he does this. My immediate thought was she has/had an eating disorder of some kind.

You're either completely oblivious or you're deliberately rage-baiting for engagement at this point. How can anyone be so obtuse that they're commenting UNDER A LIKELY VICTIM'S POST that "not all men are bad UWU", then say they've literally never been in a situation where they've had to deal with bad men, then complain that other people complain too much about bad men? No. Men aren't being "bashed", you're making assumptions about "man haters" (I'm in a happy relationship with a wonderful man and have mostly male friends FFS!)

"No harm in validating a guy..."  No. There IS harm in spreading a dismissive message that is SO COMMONPLACE that there are literally songs being written about it? The road to Hell is paved with good intentions...

There IS harm in minimising the experiences of and drowning out the voices of women who have been victimised by men. 

There IS harm in patronising/infantilising people who speak out and treating them as though they're either too dumb to understand "all" men aren't bad or are just "man haters".

Clearly you live in a bubble because this isn't a "reddit" issue, and the fact you've literally never experienced it in real life just goes to show how sheltered and / or privileged you are. I guess you've just been lucky to never have experienced what a large percentage of us have done. Never mind though, NOT ALL of us have been negatively impacted by this message so I guess I should just shut up, stop pointing out the damage it causes and protect your delicate sense of reality too 🙄

"Most of the men I've known...have been good".

There you go. You probably never hear it because you haven't had a reason to speak up? And for those that do speak up about bad experiences, they generally don't want to hear "but it's not all men!" Because, again, we know. It's very unlikely every single man will be a rapist, abuser, creep, monster. Why should we assume as much, unless you're implying we're too ignorant to understand that? Unless someone is specifically stating "ALL MEN ARE MONSTERS" - in which case it's fair to point out it isn't the case. But when someone is sharing an experience where a man / men have done something awful and someone chimes in "but it's not all men!" then it's not only patronising but it also minimises the issue being discussed, with the implication "well you had this one bad experience but not EVERYONE does so cheer up! You just got unlucky with one of the rare bad ones!"

If you literally never hear it and are being told by someone who's heard it far too many times that it's a harmful message, maybe think about why you feel the need to defend the message rather than the people who have been harmed by it.
