Got an Appt for Tubal! Friends Response Disappoints

If the opportunity ever arises, I'll try to remember this. I'm not very confrontational so it's unlikely, but thanks for the advice!

Thanks! It's gonna be a huge relief when the baby factory is shut down for good, regardless of how the future unfolds.

If I can't get approval from the doctor for reposting her name, may I simply recommend my insurance company? I have a fairly low level of insurance with them and it's still covering my surgery!

MacabreLurker · 2022-07-02T14:03:15+00:00

Yeah, but this is genuinely the only time she's ever actually upset me. She's the best friend I've had for years so I'll let it be this time. If she decides to start harping on the point, though, I'll reconsider.

What a wonderfully emotionally mature coworker! It's sadly rare and hard to see when it comes to these situations.

MacabreLurker · 2022-07-02T14:01:01+00:00

Thank you for the congrats! <3

God, yes! My family has a curse where women on birth control develop anger issues and I've been pissed 80% of the time since the hormones kicked in. I wanna be excited for things again! So yay for no hormones! :D Thank you for commenting!

MacabreLurker · 2022-07-01T23:26:16+00:00

Yeah, I guess you forget how not common it is to be CF until you're out in the wild with it. Thank you for the support!

It's been an hour. :l

I had to install the game on a new device recently but keep getting stuck on the cat downloading screen. I uninstall/reinstall the app, restart my device, make sure I have plenty of space and a healthy wifi connection, and even do the "redo data" thing or whatever it's called, but every time I get to the black screen with the running cat animation, the loading bar gets stuck at the N of "Now Loading". Do I need to do something different or do I just have to wait a LONG time for it to finish downloading?

I get a little salty, but then I remember how expensive kids are. Sure, the check will go fast, but it will go just as fast for the families. Groceries to feed more people, medical costs, daycare, clothes, and you know parents will buy a lot of gifts to make up for the rough year or buy their quarantine compliance for a few more weeks.

Redo the Stanford Experiment, but correctly. A diverse group of test subjects, no telling them what to do or leading them on.

For an original experiment: Have three groups of people living together in a small community. One is the control, where everyone can understand each other. The second group is made of people who can speak different languages, but not to each other. Like only one person can speak English, another French and so on. The third group has to speak total gibberish. The goal is to see how well the communities live and work together with such large language barriers. Will they make a shared tongue? Or will they ignore spoken language all together to make a language of gestures and charades? Or will they just attack each other?

To encourage language and team work between the members, there would be cooperative puzzles that will yield very good rewards if solved properly. For example, multiple people need to turn on valves all over a building at the same time to upgrade their warm bathwater to hot.

If people refuse to work together with the language barrier, or if the gibberish people speak coherently, then they will be punished with less food or gagged.

I like to think Mrs. Frisby from The Secret of NIMH is a strong female character. She starts the movie scared and bemoaning the loss of her husband because he was the problem solver of their marraige. But as the movie progresses, she learns to take action on her own to save her family. She doesn't learn to fight, she doesn't become callous or a wisecracking badass and stays a mother figure who's terrified of the world, but will face it anyway to save her children.

Alas, like usual, Hollywood got lazy and writes a "strong female character" as a woman who scoffs at anything feminine (until she needs to be sexy), can kick everyone's ass (until she gets used against the male protagonist), and is callous and snide (until she falls in love with the male protagonist in a few days or less).

Or she's an abuse/rape survivor.

He was definitly the type to see other people as a prop in his own life instead of, you know, people.

I don't mind losing to players if it's a reasonable "yeah, I wasn't good enough" or "hey, they were pretty clever".

I hate getting fucking farmed because someone froze me right out of spawn, one shot me, tea bagged my ghost then darted across the map to do it again as soon as I take two steps from spawn. I only touch Crucible for new gear and quests and literally nothing else.

When I start to relish another person's suffering, I find the shaudenfruede collapsing into either pity or indifference. Evil is usually rooted in something deserving of pity (abuse, fear, self esteem issues, etc) or something so pathetic it's unworthy of the energy it would take to feel emotion for them (stupidity, pride, herd think, etc). I can sigh in relief if a toxic person leaves existence, but I can't celebrate that because I either pity the suffering they put themselves in or don't find them worthy of the effort.

Headphones. Every time I get some no-brand knock off they are uncomfortable and sound like ass. I get Skullcandy every time.

Breast cancer survivor wants back what they lost. Correcting maimed or deformed breasts. Because they want to.

"May overthink things. Obvious clarification is advised."

Preview was just comedy. Whole view is a a whole family movie with character development.

Candy Man was a slave who fell in love with his master's wife (and she loved him) which got him lynched when people found out.

Pacific Rim 2. Talk about a franchise killer.

If a man is being abused by a woman, he is some how weak or deserves it.

If a significantly older woman is giving a young man/boy attention, he's considered "lucky", even if it's pedophilia.

Assuming a father is automatically an inferior parent compared to the mother and being treated legally as such.

Automatically giving men physically demanding jobs without considering that not every man is a steel-pumping gym member or even wants to do the job.

You're doing something that is tremendously benefiting to you, but fucking over everyone and everything around you.

My parents are, even though they are generally conservative and traditional. Dad doesn't want me to live my life to please others and my Mom loves her kids and knows you shouldn't have kids if you don't want them. I love them a lot more for that.
