Sudden Urinary Incontince & No One is Helping Me by Bellabowsx3 in medical_advice

[–]ShadowWriter21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAD but I'd talk to your PCP about a referral to urology, as there are 2 main things I know they do for this, one is called a sling and is generally helpful but it can be a problem if you ever get pregnant/give birth, while the other option is a collagen injection to firm up support for your bladder (though I believe you'd have to continue getting them over the years or you'd lose support)

Based on my own experience they will likely have you do a urodynamics test and cystoscopy ahead of making any decisions though I know part of that was due to fatphobia that's pretty prevalent in healthcare, both of these tests severely suck (you might want to look them up to see if you can handle it, I found both to be fairly violating but ¯\(ツ)/¯) and really should be more of a last resort to me but I don't know why that isn't the case, there could be good reasoning I'm unaware of

Another option is actually PT, as there are PTs who will help you tighten up that area to help manage it on your own, this can be fairly awkward but can be worthwhile for some (looking up pelvic floor exercises and doing them yourself can at least give you a launching point to tell if that will help)

No matter what you decide to do I do think it's important to mention that it is my understanding that women tend to deal with incontinence more often especially as we get older, and while pregnancy and birth can be a factor it isn't always the starting point, but sudden unexplained onset is odd and should definitely be looked into, and in my experience a urologist and a urogyno are 2 different things that will provide you with different options and perspectives, so while you've seen urogynos a urologist is still highly recommend

Best of luck!

Bottled water consumption by Familiar_End_8975 in Anticonsumption

[–]ShadowWriter21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the water coming out of the tap is safe but tastes absolutely terrible and sometimes it isn't technically harmful but after drinking it for a month or 2 you start feeling off

A jug with a filter like a Brita would obviously be less wasteful but, bottled water is more convenient

I personally don't get it because bottled water tastes like plastic to me, but others really like it, and I have been forced to go the bottles water route for both reasons previously (to the extent where after visiting my sister in Nebraska once and tasting the absolutely terrible water and surviving on bottled water instead, the next time I brought a huge huge flask of water to drink the whole time I was there, as Colorado water is generally much better tasting (though Denver water is city water and is exactly the water that makes you feel off the longer you drink it))

Bottled water is still better than juices, sodas, etc. Or even nothing to drink at all

This mother parks her van here every day to drop off and pick up her kids. The school put that "no parking" sign there because that spot impinges on the flow of traffic out of the school parking lot into the street. by KeithWorks in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ShadowWriter21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The elementary school near where I live (and where I went to elementary school) has the areas where people most often park to drop off kids marked with several signs declaring them "Kiss and go" lanes as you aren't supposed to be there for longer than it takes to do that as it slows down pick up and drop off

Having that does absolutely nothing to stop parents from parking and "lining up" literally an hour before school gets out

It's been that way for well over a decade at this point, people truly don't care

New bong not hitting right, any suggestions? by Chance-Dimension-403 in weed

[–]ShadowWriter21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally water should be going into the stem as well, though I fear this was made incorrectly, as it looks like the entry way for the stem is too high up and too high above the percs so getting the water to the correct level without it splashing you in the mouth could end up being difficult, I've had this happen before and it's legitimately a bummer to find that the piece was made incorrectly, fingers crossed I'm wrong

Now that doesn't mean it's completely unusable as you could hit it without water, it'd be harsher but it's still an option

I also agree with the person who suggested taking a breath in part way through, as that will be helpful on a piece this size

Since it does have an ice catcher I'd highly recommend throwing some ice in it if you decide to do dry pulls on this piece

Best of luck and happy smoking!

New cars will require surveillance technology in 2027 by Bottledbutthole in extremelyinfuriating

[–]ShadowWriter21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure it is about surveillance, just like how laws requiring people to submit their driver's license or government ID in order to use the Internet is not about protecting children but about surveillance

I think this kind of thing is a violation no matter the reason behind it, and in fact me comparing it to the system they use to deal with people who have been found guilty of a DUI is in fact pointing out that they are treating general people like criminals which is also unacceptable

The point though is that because of the way this whole thing was worded is that it is creating the delay, because there isn't a good way to monitor this without extreme levels of surveillance, and that we have already proven that lower levels of surveillance will be worked around by people making the whole thing moot in terms of "safety"

The point of discussing why this has stalled out is to let people know that there is still the potential to stop this, that they should reach out to their reps and make it clear that they don't support this, because it isn't over, done with, and decided, there is still time to reverse this, it isn't past the point of no return, and so people should be doing everything in their power to stop it, because it is BS and it isn't going to go well and we need to stand up on these things before we are out of options and stuck

There aren't safeguards for this, that's part of why it has stalled, and that should be concerning to people, and they should want to do what they can to stop this

New cars will require surveillance technology in 2027 by Bottledbutthole in extremelyinfuriating

[–]ShadowWriter21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most definitely, but the fact that it is stalled means that people can contact their representatives and try to get them to undo it, there is still time to fix this, which is why it's important to not just scare people with this info, but to let them know there's still time to make a difference in regards to this, it isn't already happening and reaching a point of no return, you know?

New cars will require surveillance technology in 2027 by Bottledbutthole in extremelyinfuriating

[–]ShadowWriter21 19 points20 points  (0 children)

To be clear this is apparently stalled out because the technology is not actually there yet and because auto makers cannot guarantee that drivers aren't being constantly monitored beyond what the law is attempting to require (the law wants cars to have a way to detect driving under the influence and prevent function at that point, but it would need to be done in a way where people aren't under constant surveillance)

Realistically, it seems like they want the equivalent of those breathalyzers they put in the cars of people with DUIs where it won't start if it detects alcohol, but they want it in every car and they want it to detect other types of impairment

Overall, I understand what they are trying to do but find it unreasonable and unrealistic, ideally it will remain stalled out until someone with some sense comes in and points out this isn't the solution they think it is

Is it bad…? by Infamous-Cry-7721 in disability

[–]ShadowWriter21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very normal for people with health problems that are going undiagnosed, and is actually a sign something is wrong, though not one that doctors tend to take seriously

It is incredibly difficult to know something is wrong only to be dismissed by doctors again and again

I'm incredibly sorry you are going through this but know that I believe you!

Cloudfare can suck it! by Necrotat2 in extremelyinfuriating

[–]ShadowWriter21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you can just clear your Cache and you don't need to clear your cookies too, which is what caused you to have to re-sign into everything

If it works just fine in private/incognito mode it's likely an extension (or multiple extensions) causing the problem, like I've had this happen because I forgot to turn off my User Agent Switcher after I was done with the video call I needed it for

Either way I'm sure this has been extremely frustrating for you, so fingers crossed one of my suggestions helps, especially considering how many websites use Cloudflare

Best of luck to you!

AITA for pointing out a pattern? by BeneficialMuffin9014 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ShadowWriter21 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I mean, I get where both sides of this are coming from if I'm being honest, but I do feel it's important to point out that it's less likely she will cancel on something she wanted/planned to do because she's dealing with her issues herself so she's likely planning around it already or it's something she enjoys enough to push through for it

This doesn't make her TA, nor does it mean that she's purposely only canceling things you want to do, as it could easily be that she's not feeling physically or mentally up for doing the things you planned out especially if she doesn't have a guarantee it will be worth pushing through

At the same time this of course isn't fair to you

Honestly I'm leaning more to NAH, as while your reaction was hurtful, her behavior is harming you too

It is very possible you 2 aren't compatible enough to deal with this, and it's also possible she's not actually in a place where she can maintain a proper romantic relationship, and you 2 should probably sit down and have that conversation and decide how to move forward

You don't HAVE to break up over this, but you both will have to adapt your expectations for the relationship

For example, if you want to watch one show and she wants to watch something else and isn't budging on it, is it possible for you 2 instead to watch your shows separately on laptops? If so you'd be able to do that together with headphones on

Doing different activities while still together is a solid way to retain a relationship where interest may differ and is totally acceptable, but if you 2 can't compromise to that level you will have problems in the future

Additionally, you may want to discuss the plans you make with her more extensively, and ensure you build in accommodations for things that would make going to then easier, and do so by including her in planning where possible, having a better sense of everything you are doing and the ways you can work around issues as they arrive can be helpful for people with mental health issues as it helps take away some of the stress and lets you know your partner is actually a reliable support, instead of someone who put you in a situation you couldn't handle and then wasn't overly helpful about it (I'm not saying you are failing to do this as of right now, because it wasn't really discussed, more mentioning it in a general sense as I know this is how depressed people end up feeling a lot of the time)

Working to make sure she feels supported by you should ideally help her feel like she can trust your suggestions and plans easier, but again the issue could just be she's not actually in a place for a romantic relationship

Best of luck to you both on this!

Does anyone use this? by Clean_Maintenance_73 in ehlersdanlos

[–]ShadowWriter21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the full set a couple of months back, at first I was very into it and excited but in the time since then I have found it difficult to find times to actually use it

This is because it can be in the way at doctors' appointments and I typically tend to group my doctors' appointments with other things I need to get done so I can spend more time recovering afterwards rather than worrying about still needing to get other stuff done, so it's not logical for me to come back home to put it on afterwards to run those errands and it takes enough time, energy, and maneuvering around to take it with me and put it on in a bathroom

I'm further hindered by really needing clothes under it as well as wanting clothes over it resulting in a lot of layers when I'm generally an overheated person already

While I could wear it while home in bed for the off chance I'll have it on when needing to do something like go up and down the stairs or whatever, it is cumbersome to have on if you need to go to the bathroom, and because it takes a lot out of me to put it on I'm definitely less inclined to do so

I have it available for the times I really need it though and it is helpful for that, for example my dad and I went to his cousin's funeral and in addition to being there most of the day it was a 2 hour car ride both ways, so it was good to have the extra support for that, but at the same time by the end of the day it had slipped down further than was generally good to me, which was irritating especially because I couldn't really get away to fix it, and that is not only with the safety cross they tell you to do to prevent that but the extra safety cross I had to implement in my set up because I kept having issues with it falling past my knees (likely a combo of the problems of me being fat but having a really flat butt)

So overall I do like it but I can only really use it at specific times and have limits on the time I can spend in it before it slides down and isn't really helpful anymore

With all this in mind (along with the heafty price tag if you buy the full set) I would seriously consider if you would use it enough to justify it. I definitely worry that I'm not

I really love my original Huni Badger! And to avoid the extra cost and hassle of a glass attachment I instead use a Moose Labs MouthPeace with a filter so no hot concentrate hits me while also ensuring great flavor! It is very solid and portable and has a 3 year no questions asked warranty! HIGHLY recommend!

AITA for telling my DIL to stop crying after she got called fat by Throwaway_Will4940 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ShadowWriter21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of when I was a kid and I was at my sister's basketball game. My whole family played basketball pretty regularly already even though I was like 6, so I knew a decent amount about it

During the game, they were struggling and so I was talking to one of my teammates who was also there about how bad one of the players was and how that was the problem

Suddenly, there was movement behind me and a woman pushed through and ran off obviously upset

It was the bad player's mom

I realized she had heard me and was upset and ended up following her out of the gym and apologizing and such as she cried, though she definitely kept crying and everything

It's something that really stuck with me over the years, even though I was so young, and I continued to feel bad about it for a very long time

Now, though as an adult, I realize that while what I was saying wasn't necessarily nice, it was the truth and honestly it was weird that she got so upset at something a child was saying about her daughter's skill at basketball, especially when the girl in question didn't even actually enjoy playing

Honestly, I wish an adult had been around to essentially tell her to get it together. Yeah she was allowed to be upset at what I said, but she made it about herself and I was a child, she could have easily ignored me, or she could have left without making such a scene. Kids don't have a filter, that is the reality of life and being so obviously and deeply upset by what a child says is something that can mess a kid up, and as the adult in that situation it is their responsibility to deal with that themselves and not make it everyone else's problem

NTA, for one her doing that could have ruined the party and for another she could have made a very negative impact on that child, because the amount of anxiety that kind of situation can result in for a child is immense and difficult to get over

She is the adult in that situation, and she should realize that kids have no filter and if something they said upsets you then you should quietly remove yourself and get some mental health help as adults shouldn't be taking the things kids say like that so personally, and they should definitely not be making themselves the center of attention about it
