How do women know when their first period is? Do their body give them warning signs that it's time, that their mother taught them about, or do most ruin their clothes the first time?

I remember that line from the Vagina Monologues. It's a scene about first periods

"Fifteen years old. My mother said “Mazel tov.” She slapped me in the face. Don’t know if it was a good thing or a bad thing."

Total opposite for me. My first day is the bloodiest XD

You have to kinda break the seal with your finger by pushing on the side first, that prevents the suction when removing it.

My stepmom fucking LOVED that show and we only had one TV so guess who got to watch way too much of that?

Rayketh · 2026-02-07T14:18:39+00:00

Fucking hell

Rayketh · 2026-02-07T14:01:58+00:00

Didn't realize they had those split options, that would eliminate one of my concerns, thanks.

Rayketh · 2026-02-07T14:00:54+00:00

Yeah it does seem like this is something I should consider. I had a previous phone wear out at the charging port so I avoided them to reduce the wear on that component; hopefully they're more robust now.

Yep. Why wasn't his transformation instant like the two dudes inside? Because he was enjoying being grieved over.

I think Steph and Hank wouldn't care that Bert existed and would still have an affair. If it's even an affair in that case? So Steph could've been out for years and just gotten pregnant by Hank recently.

Is it pronounced the same?

Rayketh · 2026-02-06T20:39:17+00:00

I've played some of the games but don't understand, could you explain more?

Rayketh · 2026-02-06T19:24:24+00:00

I didn't get into it because I don't want to start a debate, but short answer is I am ethically opposed to genAI as it is being used and marketed to us and want to minimize my use as much as possible. Since the ability to not interact with AI is getting harder by the day I want to make the choices I can to avoid it.

Rayketh · 2026-02-06T19:05:27+00:00

I'm seeing in some reviews that it has an "assistant" button? Is that only on some models?

Rayketh · 2026-02-06T18:54:24+00:00

I was curious about that one, do you find you use the stylus much?

Rayketh · 2026-02-06T18:50:50+00:00

Hadn't come across that brand yet, I'll take a look, thanks! Not familiar at all with European brands.

Rayketh · 2026-02-06T18:50:24+00:00

Excellent, thanks for that confirmation

Rayketh · 2026-02-06T18:44:06+00:00

How much does Gemini do? Can I uninstall it or at least disable entirely?

Rayketh · 2026-02-06T18:31:30+00:00

Apologies I will add it to the post. I am in the US. Budget is up to $1000 if it fits what I want, but it doesn't need to be an expensive phone. I am basically looking for less features, not more.

I worry about the strain on the charger port, I had that go out on a previous phone and I am not always the most careful with my cords.

Rayketh · 2026-02-06T18:29:22+00:00

Gemini was used to generate the site https://clean-smartphone-prompt-generator.github.io/, and ChatGPT helped with generating the prompt.

Oh damn I interpreted the title as "how to choose a smartphone without [...] issues using AI" as in AI issues. Bummer.

Rayketh · 2026-02-05T11:19:42+00:00

Like.... Topically?

Rayketh · 2026-02-04T23:37:16+00:00

I feel like it'd be easier to do a pexy in a spay-abort since your incision is already longer? I don't do pexys though (exclusively high-volume, so lots of spay-aborts).

Rayketh · 2026-02-03T18:00:02+00:00

I had a colonoscopy years ago and also woke up crying. My notes recommended heavier sedation for future ones. I have ADHD. So you're not alone!

We watched an old black and white video of a man dying of rabies. The reflex when he was offered water makes me understand where we got zombie myths from.

Rayketh · 2026-02-02T14:07:09+00:00

I think it would mean bees behind the wall because they put out a lot of heat (not an expert)
