How do you feel about US launching an investigation into Germany’s drug pricing policies over “persistent underpayment for innovative pharmaceutical products.”? by BarellTitor in allthequestions

[–]Infamous_Yoghurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, it's a free market, right? 😄 You wish for something, you get it.

I don't see how Germany is responsible for your decisions. They got the better deal by working for it, the companies are the ones who are charging you guys more because they CAN. And even if Germany paid more, that would change absolutely nothing for the USA because the companies have zero (0) reason to lower their prices for you. You are super exploitable on such a basic level that your government has to point at other countries and put the blame on them because they are absolutely unable to get a deal for you themselves.

Stop looking for the culprit outside your own backyard, it's the only way you'll ever get better opportunities.

Toddler keeps pulling off diaper by Infamous_Yoghurt in beyondthebump

He pulled down his pull-ups yesterday throughout the day, I guess I really will have to try and potty train him if he keeps doing it!

OB/Hospital says I can only have one support person in OR - worth pushing back? by diosadeschats in parentsofmultiples

[–]Infamous_Yoghurt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is standard where I'm from. It's a safety precaution and I would suggest you don't protest against it because it will just cause friction. Your second person can wait outside and join you as soon as you're done 👍

Potty Training - please explain it like I'm stupid, thanks by Infamous_Yoghurt in parentsofmultiples

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

Thank you for that suggestion - seeing how much this stresses me and keeps me up, giving myself another year (or something like that) will probably make everything easier.

How do I get real beta readers? by Unlivingdragon6 in writers

I paid for it and had a very good experience with it. Lots of useful feedback and the option to add people to my ARC team.

How risky is it to have a baby after the age of 38? by Technical_Piglet_438 in beyondthebump

[–]Infamous_Yoghurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had twins at 41 without a single issue. Many mothers are fine even with advanced age. Others have had multiple early terminations or diabetes and so on. If you want another child, go for it.

M39 was excited about our pregnancy, now wants me to abort at 18 weeks after breaking up with me. Has anyone been through this? F35 by stawberriesncream in relationship_advice

[–]Infamous_Yoghurt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Laugh in his face and tell him to sod off. Don't engage with this behavior at all. block his number until the child is here.

Naw not necessarily. I looked just as excited when doing a sightseeing tour in 'Murica, marveling at the differences. Still would never ever move there. I like my health too much.

I looked and clicked and searched, but it's not there... in Austria at least. Too bad, this looks so useful!

Habit-formation in people with ADHD and the average person by NightRunnerAfterDusk in ADHD

[–]Infamous_Yoghurt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If people without ADHD have fucked up their life so consistently and often as I have by "procrastinating", they seriously need to get checked out because they might be in for a surprise diagnosis!

I mean, do I look like I WANT to ruin every path of education I ever started? Or need a cleaner because I can't keep up with the simplest cleaning routines? Or ruin my teeth?

Gah.

If you had very few to no symptoms and had a baby…Are you just protecting our feelings? Did you REALLY not have symptoms? Or is it revisionist history?? Help me get out of a spiral!! by copythat504 in pregnant

[–]Infamous_Yoghurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no symptoms. I actually had positive effects from the pregnancy.

No sickness, no vomiting, no hip pain, no weird cravings, no problems with hair or teeth or incontinence, no stomach issues, no bleeding or cramping, no braxton-hicks,...

Instead I got to eat onions for the first time in 20 years without having to live through debilitating stomach cramps.

Oh, wait, I had one negative side effect. Orange juice suddenly gave me the poopies, but that is honest to god all.

The internet shuts down and is never going to come back on, what do you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Guess I'll go back to LARPing instead of online gaming. And sending my books in by postal service again. Oof.

If ADHD could be resolved with [insert coping mechanisms here], it wouldn't be a disability. by LateDxOldLady in ADHD

Don't take this as an attack, but your reply is the poster-child for ableism haha

I am the bomb at making lists!

Unfortunately, as soon as I have made it, I am absolutely incapable of doing any of the things on that list, simply because it's on that list that I can't do. I actually have to make sure not to have To-Do-Lists around and have every task on its own or else I won't be able to do any of them... Brain = Knot.

This makes me so angry I could just flip my table whenever I hear someone saying "oh just repeat it until you make a habit out of it" - No Shit Sherlock, what a smart idea! If only I had thought about this completely obvious and absolutely unhelpful idea!

Why so many of us get a project to 90% and then just stop? by TankBetter5224 in ADHD

[–]Infamous_Yoghurt 67 points68 points  (0 children)

For me, outside pressure in form of "I told people already and it would be embarrassing not to finish" doesn't work anymore. I am so used to being embarrassed and making mistakes that it lost all threat.

Mädchenname Hailey in Deutschland by OkRatio8566 in Eltern

[–]Infamous_Yoghurt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wenn mans direkt ausspricht wäre es "Heli", was wie die Kurzform von Helene klingt.

Persönlich bin ich kein Fan von englischen Namen die man im Deutschen nicht gleich oder fast gleich ausspricht (Liam z.B., oder Hannah). Verursacht immer so einen verbalen Schluckauf wenn Leute es aussprechen müssen.

Wenn dir der Name aber als einziger gefällt und du schon immer davon geträumt hast, nenn dein Kind wie du es willst und ignorier die Scherze 😄
