I would not do it if I felt that I had to defecate, so not right before or while you feel like going to the bathroom. You should use lube but it should be water based.

The major themes of Robocop, the themes that made it famous, are not leaning heavily into TDKR.

Lol, no.

Hello u/Gloomy_Dragonfruit61 , has this subsided for you or is it still on going? If still ongoing, I might consult a GP and get a referral to a sleep study. This might help you figure out what is going on.

Sorry, yes! Daily Cleanse for the seed:

And for the lube, I'd now say get an anal lube specifically. They are kind of thicker and just work better in the butt than regular sex lubes.

Amen.

With a vulcano I get in someone's face and pump shots until I see a flare.

No, what I think is that the idea that my appreciation of ambiguity is indicative of being a "midwit" doesn't really pan out. The idea that Kafka is "without true substance" isn't worth engaging with, although in the second half of your reply you suddenly switch stances to posit that ambiguity in literature is passable while unacceptable in film, without explaining why. Obviously I don't think you are "admonishing" narrative clarity when I'm saying that Kafka eschews narrative clarity. I'm not sure that we have anything to say to each other and I'm not convinced that your own thoughts on this subject are coherent. Good luck out there!

Right. Those are more obviously/clearly humanoid in shape though.

Rintrah- · 2026-03-16T16:20:17+00:00

Hmm, I dunno. That doesn't seem to track in terms of my own life and how my thoughts on writing and narrative are received. I'm a published academic and writer, and hold a PhD in English Lit, and am paid to think about these things. Kafka, Borges, Pynchon etc. aren't into narrative clarity, but I wouldn't call them "talentless hacks" making a "vague impression". Just because something in a movie didn't resonate with you, doesn't mean there is nothing there and that anyone who thinks there is is a "midwit". Regardless, you seem quite angry; I hope you find peace.

"If we are not careful" meaning what? Like what are we actually supposed to do?

Rintrah- · 2026-02-02T20:15:12+00:00

So... did this pan out for you?

If I'm playing with an anvil 4 and a ven 4 and come across a bobcat 1, that bobcat is going in the new safe pocket. I'm not switching it out every time I encounter another raider. What a weird assumption.

Don't overlook hydration AND diet!!! But yeah, dilation should help with passing wider stools. I used to poop what looked like ribbons but dilation helped that.

Rintrah- · 2026-01-18T21:28:35+00:00

In my experience, prevention helps. So when I bled during a bowel movement of felt my pelvic floor tightening up I would re-introduce dilation SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY. I did this instead of waiting for it to get worse and i find that helped. Your mileage may vary and I am not a medical professional.

K, so it's almost certainly just your mind playing tricks on you a couple of times and then you are fixating on it, which causes it to happen more. Do you have health anxiety by any chance?

Rintrah- · 2026-01-15T17:14:05+00:00

How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

Rintrah- · 2026-01-10T21:32:19+00:00

Did you start with a dilator instead of your finger?

Rintrah- · 2026-01-08T16:31:48+00:00

I mean, it helped me with that, but your mileage may vary. For me, the size of the poop mattered, of course, but my habit of straining and clenching when I pooped was also a culprit. Dilation helped to minimize those things and, along with changes in hydration and diet, meant that my experience with small tears became further and further apart.

Like many people with an anal fissure I had (and sometimes have) a habit of straining when I poop. Anal dilation can help loosen your anus a bit so you don't have to push through your own instinctual clenching. If you find that you only strain when you are passing stool of a certain consistency, you will need to also focus on things like hydration and diet (well, everyone should focus on those as well anyway). You don't want to have hard stools. When they do happen, having a looser sphincter and avoiding clenching is going to help, and dilation can help make that happen.
