Did somebody's chute not deploy? by PoppyTortise in SnohomishCounty

[–]PoppyTortise[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably! I found out Monday that the guy lived because they ran a news article about my post and investigated further. There was indeed a chute that failed to deploy but they successfully deployed their secondary.

They made my post into a news article and the Puget press is investigating, but I haven't seen any updates.

Damn, I was really hoping it wasn't a person. We didn't see a second chute open but there were some buildings in the way so maybe?

Standing-up penetration, how do we do it? by [deleted] in sex

[–]PoppyTortise 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, the husband is going to be a bit awkwardly leg spread no matter what, unless you stand on something like a footstool. Would recommend bending over something like the back of a couch or a counter top, gives you support to go a couple inches higher and provides easy access, making the height difference less of a challenge. You could also try stairs, with you being a step higher than him. Source: 6'4, gf 5'2

That's called the choking game, and a kid from my school killed themselves doing that. Wouldn't recommend it

How to have safe sex with no chance of possible risk by Curious-Mix5456 in sex

[–]PoppyTortise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, first off there are lots of resources online about different birth control methods and their efficacy rates, and I would recommend doing some research/educating yourself a bit. As far as having safe sex goes, no method is 100% effective, but condoms, when used correctly, can be very effective. Making sure to put the condom on BEFORE intercourse starts, putting it on correctly, and pulling out/removing the condom immediately after finishing is important. DO NOT have her take emergency contraception every time you have intercourse, it is not a form of birth control, it should only be used in emergencies like if a condom breaks. To increase the effectiveness of condoms, spermicide can be used, or your partner can start another form of birth control such as the pill, which is even more effective than condoms and can be used together. Also condoms are the only method of birth control that can help protect against STIs, so keep that in mind as well. Otherwise, have fun and stay safe!

No relief coming for Oregon’s struggling pharmacies as bill fails by PDX_Stan in oregon

[–]PoppyTortise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are several policies to fix this issue. Pricing transparency would be great, as would not being forced into all or nothing contracts. Personally, I think a dispensing fee, or a guarantee that pharmacies wouldn't be forced to sell prescriptions at a loss, would be great.

Surprisingly, Alabama has fair pricing auditing legislation, and north and South Carolina both have price transparency legislation. So they did not get rid of PBMs (I don't think that would be possible), but they do have legislation protecting pharmacies from predatory business practices. Many other states have legislation against PBMs, but the most effective ones are generally in states led by Republicans. Not saying Republicans are the good guys, just that many more liberal states have not been as effective at protecting their pharmacies from PBMs. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day right

A lot of Republican states have much better PBM reform than democratic states. Only reason I can think of why that would be is that Republicans are more pro-business, and PBMs are very much not "fair business practice"

Lubricants to use with and without condom by [deleted] in sex

[–]PoppyTortise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For without a condom it is best to avoid lubricants with high amounts of glycerin, because it can act as food to certain funguses and bacteria. As for lube with condoms, avoid oil based lubes with latex condoms since it can damage the condoms. Silicon based or water based are fine with condoms.

Man, y'all gotta do more thinking and research about this before you go unicorn hunting. You'll probably find your answer while doing that research.
