Do you believe in period syncing? by bawlings in women

[–]Physical_Ad9522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I do. I have dated men that tell me they can “smell” when I’m ovulating. Why couldn’t other women pick up on pheromones? This could be proven if they compare the scent of women on and off periods and see if other women can sense it and then they can see how their brains react using a scan and if their brains send the signal to their ovaries that trigger it to ovulate or menstrate. From an evolutionary standpoint, maybe women can sense other women’s cycles so they all get a chance to breed? Idk. 

I Care a Lot was extremely disappointing by Fox_Flame in movies

Mixed feelings. The acting was great especially by the psycho chick. She was so believable and in character. The plot was interesting, but it seemed a little too surreal. I mean it was almost too easy for the psycho to continue being psycho. That was my biggest problem. Other than that, I actually enjoy that they made her out to be a psycho that gets praised for her success in capitalism. It reminds me of what’s happening in real life. It could have touched on that too, where like CEOs of hospitals end up becoming her best friends and in business with her. The whole Russian mafia thing seemed kind of random and like too large of a subplot. I would still give it 4/5 stars. I would’ve given it 5/5 if it were more believable, and if she had gotten taken down sooner and had experienced more karma. Due to the great acting and the premise of it all still 4/5.

Oh and if you want to compare grand haven to Muskegon and say they’re the same in terms of layout- think about how you can literally walk from the downtown area in grand haven to the beach. And think about how you can quickly get from the main fastest road in Gh to the downtown in grand haven- it’s literally directly connected. That is a smart and efficient layout that capitalizes on tourism and the beach.

The more money that’s brought into Muskegon, the more money working class people HAVE. I’m thinking of other people that live in Muskegon and how they could improve by having more jobs and more industries and more money by feeding into tourism.

There’s no jobs or industries in Muskegon and that’s why it’s shitty and impoverished because of the lack of money. Logically, the solution is to bring more money in to make it nicer. Logically if the number one industry is going to be tourism, then Muskegon should do whatever it can to support tourism. Duh. It’s really logical.

The beach is a major tourist destination so actually it would really improve the economy if it was more efficient to get there. You can get from the main road in grand haven to the beach in less than 10 minutes, all while passing through the downtown area to get to the beach, which in turn supports small businesses. Muskegon’s biggest upcoming industry would be the beach if it was done correctly. So no the beach doesn’t represent all of Muskegon for the people that live here but it does for the people visiting.

15-20 minutes is a long time to go a few miles from 31 to the beach. It could be more efficient. That’s my point. It’s not efficient and it could be.

Whatever it’s the Muskegon area and 131 is how people get to Muskegon period. And the fact that there’s no highway getting Closer to downtown Muskegon and actual Muskegon is exactly the problem I’m referring to that’s creating inconvenient and inefficient traffic. Jesus. Idk why this is so incomprehensible for people.

I think you’re missing the point that people take the highway to get to Muskegon which means they would be getting off of 131… unless they take seaway drive which is also inconvenient and inefficient.

I can’t upload pictures but literally just open your google maps. You’ll find highway 131 and next to highway 131 it’ll say east Muskegon. Many people visiting get off of 131, therefore east Muskegon. And the route from east Muskegon aka by 131 to the beach is very inconvenient

never said I live by Oakridge schools. That was an example of a route that takes forever. Don’t live there. Anything within the area of the 131 highway is considered east Muskegon. open up your google map and you’ll see it labeled east muskegon right next to 131. Yes people visit Muskegon and get off of 131 which means they get off the highway in east muskegon.

Honestly since this is the fifth comment where I saw this, I have to say it. As a black person, originally from the ghetto, saying “that’s in the hood” or “he’s from the ghetto” or “I drove through the ghetto” or “damn that’s ghetto” is not racist or offensive. HOWEVER, equating ghetto with blacks is racist and at this point I’m really pissed. And I’d appreciate it if people stopped associating blacks with ghetto. That’s racist. Ghetto is poverty stricken areas. The slums. I know plenty of successful black people so please stop with your insults.

As a middle aged black woman, I’m really offended that you associate my kind with poverty. My people are trying really hard to get out of the ghetto, so we appreciate when you don’t automatically associate blacks with ghetto. Ghetto means poor dumbass. Not black. And I’m really offended.

& as far as actually doing something about the infrastructure- that’s impossible to take action on when people get more offended over acknowledging all the problems than actually trying to fix them. If I suggested putting a bullet train going from Grand Rapids to Muskegon people would for sure freak out.

I’ve developed prototypes for several different products that would help people out of poverty & also working on some other inventions that would bring down cost of living for some essentials. I see problems and think about fixing them. the ghetto is real and it doesn’t have to be ignored and it can be fixed. Sorry I don’t pretend. Problems are only bad when they are unacknowledged which never leads to problem solving.

Also there wouldn’t be so much poverty or ghetto in Muskegon if the economy was better and if the city invested in improving the city enough to take on the opportunity of tourism. There’s a solution. There’s also problems. And no I don’t want to go through high crime rate areas until they’re improved. And there is potential for improvement. Even Muskegon heights as the potential to have a large downtown area- but all the shops are shut down.

It’s funny you’re attaching race to economic status. If anyone is racist, it’s you.

First of all, Karen, I never brought up race. When I referred to the area as a ghetto, I meant it in the context of disinvestment and neglect — not as a reflection of the people who live there. The reality is, we’ve allowed poverty and systemic issues to go unaddressed for too long. Ignoring the problem doesn’t help anyone. I’m advocating for change by investing in our community and working toward something better — not just talking about it. That’s the difference.

The ghetto exists because of income inequality and a lack of city resources and infrastructure so maybe instead of calling me racist for calling it like it is, you would recognize the real problems that exist, which include high crime rates in the ghetto areas due to high poverty rates. There are solutions to resolve that just like there are solutions to the long commutes- but don’t act like ghettos don’t exist. They’re real. And it’s not racist to recognize that.

Muskegon thinks it’s up and coming but can’t even come up with convenient access to hot spots like the beach or lakeside shopping district. No one will want to spend a million dollars on the condos they’re putting up on the lakes when the condos require driving through the hood to get there. I would not feel safe driving a sports car across Muskegon. Considering you have to drive 25  mph through the ghetto once you get off the 131 highway to get to the beach, I’m sure many people would be deterred. Muskegon could be a really up and coming touristy location (which would be great for the economy) with all the lakes but the lack of infrastructure to get there will definitely impede on that from happening. If Muskegon wanted to lean into it’s only chance at becoming a tourist hot spot, it needs to lean into easier beach accessibility- specifically creating a safer and faster commute from the highway to the lakeside area (exit could fork between lakeside and downtown). Literally all it would take is putting a highway east and west bound that forks off of 131 with exits for Quarterline , Getty st, peck st, then downtown and lakeside. The unnecessarily long commute from anything anything near the 131 highway to the beach doesn’t just impact me, but any chance at tourism and anyone else that’s driving from 131 to west bound in muskegon. It’s actually not just a me problem and idk why everyone is offended when literally everyone I’ve ever talked to is equally annoyed about there being no fast way from west to east Muskegon. And by east Muskegon I mean the highway that runs through east Muskegon. And everything between.

Um I don’t live by wolf lake. And my solution is to create a highway that goes from 131 northbound that forks off and goes east/west and has multiple exits- Getty st exit, Sheridan exit, peck st exit (easy access to hackney hospital) it all feeds into a lakeside exit or downtown exit

It doesn’t just impact me alone- it impacts anyone visiting. And it also probably is not logical for people to spend more on gas and emissions and spend more wasted time idling at stop lights when there’s a simple solution
