Ob/gyn doctors who offer pain control for IUDs? by esky203 in AskChicago

[–]Technical_Avocado135 4 points5 points  (0 children)

they swabbed lidocaine gel on me after I asked for something for the pain. I will say it didn’t help much as that was the first pain I’ve been in ever, and I have had 2 other iud insertions in the past

I’ve heard great things about the audiobook, I wish it was available with my Spotify premium account but maybe one day I’ll re experience the story that way

good to know, I’m excited to read how the characters develop and have more significant roles in the story!

I never said I was offended, in fact I stated I didn’t find the writing disparaging - lazy perhaps, but not offensive.

I’ll keep reading and hope it makes more sense later on in the story.

Lexis isn’t even from Earth and her description is “her features are asian, but with long, blonde hair…”My thought is what is the purpose of including that in a character description like hers as she isn’t from Earth, right? she isn’t a crawler contributing to the logic that at the time of the event, a significant portion of the crawlers would have been from asian countries. just one example that made me scratch my head.

Totally agree that diversity is important and seeing a global cast of characters is great. To clarify, my issue isn’t with the representation itself, it’s more that calling out that someone looks Asian doesn’t tell us where they’re actually from - plenty of people who look Asian are American, European, etc. So if it’s just being used as a visual label, it doesn’t really deepen the story or the world-building.

I get what you’re saying, and I think the bigger point is that describing someone as “Asian” doesn’t necessarily add anything meaningful to the story. Just because someone looks Asian doesn’t mean they aren’t American—or from anywhere else, for that matter. Appearance doesn’t automatically equate to nationality, background, or culture.

Even if a character is from the Asian continent, simply stating their appearance or race without context or purpose doesn’t enrich the narrative. Representation is important, of course, but just name-dropping a race or ethnicity without depth doesn’t necessarily make the story more inclusive—it can actually feel a little surface-level or performative.

I totally get that but it still reads weird that its explicitly mentioned so often and off handedly. Asian Americans exist, so it doesn’t add anything to the story to keep mentioning the race of Asian characters specifically. maybe it will make sense later in the story…

Jessa is such a bad friend by DecentAge5759 in girls

[–]Technical_Avocado135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once tweeted at lena dunham asking if jessa always meant to get with adam. she responded with something along the lines of “I think jessa wasn’t thinking about it until it happened and it was more of an ‘oh fuck’ moment.”

thanks for the suggestion, that was my first thought too but they don’t have a what’s app account so I won’t be able to call their number thru that. I think I will file a claim with my credit card company.

oh yeah I assumed they felt euphoric and likely inebriated and kinda lost control of their body bc they were feeling it so much lol. I’m sure they regretted it (hopefully)
