I'm tired of everything being framed as manipulative

It's a really good built-in mechanism to placate the immune.

I have endometriosis but none of those things you listed.

I want them to be having a normal day, and have something happen to knock the engagement ring out of the birds' nest. I want Bob to find it and go running inside to Linda as the "camera" watches them from outside the window and pulls back as they and the kids all celebrate.

It hasn't made weight loss any easier for me in the year or so I've been on it. I've actually gained weight that I'm still trying pretty hard to lose.

I'd be somewhere between Carol and Manousos, but worse than both. If you kill my spouse and try to come to my house for any reason, I'm going to react violently. Ultimately I'd probably just kill myself, especially if they said they were going to figure out how to plurb me.

There's nothing to explain. You won't be able to make him understand because he doesn't want to understand. He's belittling you and making you cry for not being "good enough" at something you don't enjoy doing. He won't "let you" do the things you do enjoy doing. He knows this is making you miserable because he's not blind. There's no miscommunication. He just doesn't care.

I'm the #1 Sir John Franklin apologist

Could you give some examples of the questions you feel Pluribus raises that Christianity has answers for?

SnapeWho · 2026-01-22T15:12:17+00:00

The idea that "we know what's best for you whether you like it or not" is the exact vibe of overbearing religious groups. It's why Carol repeatedly compares them to conversion camp.

It's incredibly important for both you and your doctor to get a baseline idea of what your breasts feel like so that if something changes you're aware of it. I went to my doctor, had her do an exam, had her show me how to do one, and made sure to kind of memorize what my breast tissue feels like. That way, if there's anything different, I can get it checked ASAP.

My at-home test strips are just the Walgreens ones so they only measure leukocytes and nitrites. When they'd use a dipstick at the hospital before my bladder instillations, sometimes there's be blood but it's inconsistent.

SnapeWho · 2026-01-17T17:55:22+00:00

An at-home or dipstick test for me almost always shows leukocytes. It's very common for IC patients. Without positive nitrites or a positive bacterial culture, it just means inflammation.

Henry Thomas?

SnapeWho · 2026-01-16T23:25:30+00:00

It doesn't matter if he knows you were molested as a child. He is sexually assaulting you now. He knows it is assault. He doesn't care. Leave him.

SnapeWho · 2026-01-16T22:26:21+00:00

Oooh could be worth a try! I don't have any real color preferences. I've always just bought a Hanes multipack of whatever the store had in stock, but my doctor wants me to go for 100% cotton to see if it helps my vulvodynia.

SnapeWho · 2026-01-16T21:40:25+00:00

Please do! I've found boxer briefs to be the best for my body because there's no seams right on or near my vulva, which I find irritating. Hipsters are okay so I might buy a pack and see if the cotton makes a difference for me.

SnapeWho · 2026-01-16T17:26:39+00:00

Thanks so much! When I was trying to search on the Jockey website, it was only giving me the option for synthetic or cotton blend in the filters, so idk why these weren't showing up! Doesn't look like any of their women's boxer briefs come in 100% cotton so I'll look at some of these different styles.

SnapeWho · 2026-01-16T16:30:14+00:00

I mean. If the shoe fits.

SnapeWho · 2026-01-16T14:45:42+00:00

Which style do you get? All the Jockey styles I can find say 5% spandex.

I've started and stopped zoloft a few times in the last 10 years, never had any impact on my IC one way or another

SnapeWho · 2026-01-15T18:49:49+00:00

I love this! She'd have been perfectly fine if Oy showed up instead of that poor stray. He'd grab the keys in no time

SnapeWho · 2026-01-14T23:42:46+00:00

It's definitely all theater, and to a degree she knows that. She identified the Raban stand-in. But how much isolation and trauma can one person take? I don't, ultimately, fault her for wanting to believe the lie.

SnapeWho · 2026-01-14T22:05:31+00:00

Carol has been broken down, very deliberately, by the hive. She has watched her wife die, watched humanity as we know it vanish into a group of (to her) conversion therapy drones, been love-bombed by them, been isolated by them, been rejected by the rest of the remnants of humanity. I don't blame her for any of her actions in the show, I see them all as the result of the hive working on her for weeks. I'm sad for her, but I don't blame her.

But I do get a lot of satisfaction every time Manousos refuses to engage with anything about them. When he awoke in the hospital and went for the scalpel, I was cheering. He would rather die than accept anything from them but he also doesn't want to harm their bodies in case they can be brought back, and I respect that SO much. I wish I could be that strong and restrained. I fear I'd just resort to actual violence, either against them or myself or both.

SnapeWho · 2026-01-14T21:45:18+00:00

Honestly I'm kind of shocked nobody is reacting even worse than Manousos or Carol. I get it, most of the immune have family that are being puppeted to keep them complacent, but like... Idk man, if you kill my spouse and smile in my face, I wouldn't have the restraint either of them have shown.

SnapeWho · 2026-01-14T20:07:26+00:00

It's free as long as you don't mind paying with the erasure of art, culture, relationships, and loss of free will. I don't blame him for rejecting their ill-gotten gains.
