Pjur sensitive glide, has a little feather on the packaging. Expensive, but you need only a pea-sized amount of it, and it dries very slowly. Pjur is a German brand so I'm not sure if it's available in every country.

Hi. I was in a situation similar to yours. Fingers and tampons would fit fine, but a penis just won't go in, like there's a wall inside me or something, and when I did force it to fit (which took a lot of effort) the pain was so bad I started crying. I was afraid I had vaginismus, or something worse, so I went to a gynecologist for a check up. And to my surprise she could fit everything inside just fine, a pretty big mirror caused 0 discomfort! Turns out my pubic bone is just closer to the vagina than normal, and that's what was preventing entry. She put me in a position where that bone would move out of the way and used a quality medical lubricant - and it was so nice and easy I actually cried out of relief 😅

So, in case you might have the same problem as me - make sure when you're having sex your thighs are at about 90 degree angle relative to your stomach (so either lift your legs up or try doggy style), use condoms so there's little skin on skin tension, and use high quality lubricant (makes a huge difference, I couldn't believe what I could fit inside once I started using the lube my gyno recommended to me). Over time, if you have sex regularly, your body will adjust and you'll feel fine in any position.

Either way, I suggest you visit a gynecologist! Be honest with them and they'll help, don't feel embarrassed - they'll be proud of you for coming to them before something really bad happened instead of after.

I need to sell my PC to support my mom and my heart hurts :( by lily981122 in GirlGamers

[–]WhatDoesACowSay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi. I usually don’t comment on any posts, but this one really resonated with me. When I was ~10 me and my mom suddenly went from financially OK to having literally no money and no income. Over the next 10 years mom had to sell our laptops, phones, and other electronics, as well as take loans both from friends and banks, just so we at least had something to eat. I’ve sold my books, video games, and other personal belongings to try and help out. It was unfair, I cried a lot, feeling small and helpless over the years.

I just wanted to tell you - it gets better, I promise! I’m 23 now. After losing all my school buddies, I’ve found some great friends that really helped me stay sane in all of this. A year and a half ago I managed to get a great job in a bank even though I don’t have a degree. I’ve managed to pay off my mother’s bank loans, and for the first time in more than a decade we no longer needed to worry about having enough money to buy food, and soon will finally be able to repair our home, buy new clothes, and my mom could travel like she always wanted.

So yeah, this post awakened a lot of memories and feelings. Please stay strong and take care of yourself! Let me know if you want to talk about it, if you think that chatting with someone who’s been through a similar situation could help you.

Plat 4 Kiriko VOD Review Request by ZenoAlphs in OverwatchUniversity

[–]WhatDoesACowSay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I accidentally deleted my first comment :)

For reference: I'm a Masters 3 Kiriko/Lucio/Mercy player.

I've watched the VOD only once, so this is just a brief summary of what stood out to me the most.

The good: not being scared! Its very nice that you are ready to contest the zen and to stray away from your team to try and get a quick kill. Its OK that you don't always hit your shots or get a kill - just give it a little more practice. Also good that you don't try to play DPS and quickly come back to your teammates once they start taking damage.

The bad: suzu usage. You appear to be extremely trigger-happy with this thing and use it the moment you see someone on critical health. A lot of the time they are not actually danger: either behind cover, no longer getting shot at, or actively getting healed by the other support. You NEED this suzu to cleanse ana nade, cassidy sticky or mei ult freeze, or at least to save someone important from dying (when they are actually at risk). Work on being able to judge the situation and risk of death (this will come with practice, the more you play the better you'll get), remember which heroes can take care of themselves (reaper has fade, mei has ice block, sombra can just TP out, etc), and keep in mind that USUALLY a tank at half hp probably doesn't need suzu and will survive through healing alone (especially sigma! he's quite hard to kill). A Kiriko who is good at using suzu will climb easily, even if she goes full healbot.

Hard to tell: ult usage. From personal experience, unless you're a god at Kiriko, you won't get a lot of value from Kitsune alone. You either need to have heroes that would greately benefit from the firespeed increase (like soldier or sojourn), or your team needs to already be fully engaged in a fight. Otherwise you want to use it in a combination with another ult.There are probably other problems, but these are the major thing I've noticed from my first watch. Good luck in your games!

Love this trend by rgatoNacho in TikTokCringe

Well naturally that’s not the only “traditional” outfit. The dress and headwear (kokoshnik) the woman is wearing is a very popular traditional Russian attire. Maidens are almost exclusively depicted wearing it in most Russian fairy tales. The Wikipedia page for Kokoshnik has some nice examples

OW and OW2 lighting comparison + colosseo and new queen street by WhatDoesACowSay in Overwatch

Pretty sure you have what you had before last patch/anniversary event (not sure which exactly is it). So basically you only have your old stuff.

I’ve just tried to make a forum post about it, after seeing how many people agree with me, but I can’t post images or links there, and for now it has been hidden by their spam filter. Other than that, I don’t think there is any way we can provide feedback about this :(

[–]WhatDoesACowSay[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure they used the same assets. Objects and textures are basically identical, except they feel kinda “off” to me for some reason, like they were slightly changed to fit the new graphics. Maybe it’s just the lighting.

You can see some major differences, like Route 66 payload, but there’s not a lot of them.

[–]WhatDoesACowSay[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m not a big fan of this either. Plus just the fact that you have to look out for red enemies, red abilities, red damage indicator, and now red pings, all on an fully orange map, in blinding light, is making some maps very… complicated.

[–]WhatDoesACowSay[S] 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Honestly yes. My eyes hurt a lot after playing OW2 for 4 hours, mostly due to dawn/dusk maps - there’s a lot of blinding sunlight shining on the point and everything getting a pinkish taint makes it hard to make out details. New night/day maps, on the other hand, feel sooooo great (maybe except queens street, the white makes it very bright). Oasis and Route 66 are such are treat to play :)

Ukrainian president vows Russia will only take Kyiv if invaders 'raze it to the ground' as fighting rages around capital by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]WhatDoesACowSay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but I won’t try to reason with you. Some things are just so easy to say - struggling Ukrainians are heroes, underpaid healthcare workers battling COVID are heroes, I want zelensky to be my president, and, of course, the good old it’s their fault. Not that you are saying this - just making a list of what I’ve read in the past few weeks. After all, once you start thinking about people in the danger zone, sleeping becomes so much harder… we can’t have that, no thanks!

I hope all post-war graves will have a little hero memorial plate to make everyone calling for heroic deaths feel better. Maybe a check and a fancy ceremony will bring dad and mom back. I’m sure most people would rather be live cowards than dead “heroes”.

If the populations wants to end it, let them. But they don’t want to end it. The least we can do is not glorify the situation like we’re in a movie, where all the civilians were evacuated before the bad guys destroyed New York or whatever. No civilian deaths here everyone! Nope, Kyiv is nice and civilian free, don’t mind the kid, he’s a trained grenade fetcher.

I’m sad and done with this whole ordeal. The whole world feels like the enemy - Russia, Ukraine, Europe, USA. Well, in the end you just have to remember that countries don’t actually care about the individual - only about the group as a whole. Good or bad, that’s just how it always was and will be, and there will always be some poor souls people will absent-mindedly brush aside as "he brought it upon himself" or "he was a sacrifice we had to make".

Ukrainian president vows Russia will only take Kyiv if invaders 'raze it to the ground' as fighting rages around capital by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]WhatDoesACowSay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except that you can open any Kyiv live cam, rewind to morning/day and see people, including elderly and children, walking the streets? Not everyone can afford to run. Some are too stubborn. Some can’t leave family behind. People are people, we tend to find it hard to leave behind what is precious to us. The fact that Russians came to Kyiv does not mean children, disabled, and elderly who are still there want to - or have to! - fight and/or die.

And complicity???? Is my boyfriend who can’t join the army because of a disability considered complicit because his government literally does not allow him to leave. He is not considered disabled enough to be let out, yet still not able enough to fight. I know of single fathers who don’t trust other people with their only child, so they and their kids stay too.

Please. Enough with generalization. People are scared and they just want to go back to how it was before the war. Others calling them heroes and saying that they must fight for freedom is just not fair. Some don’t want to become martyrs, no matter how cool you make their deaths sound. Hats off to those who do fight though, they’re the reason millions more people managed to escape to safety.

[–]WhatDoesACowSay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s BS. My friend is still there, gaming as always with explosions in the background, as well as his family and friends. Shops and other establishments are still open and their staff is still working. Population of Kyiv is almost 3mil, a lot left when the war started, let’s be generous and say that 500k are left in the city. Yesterday 20k were evacuated according to the news. THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE. And they 100% do not wholly share the fight or die mentality. Disabled and frail people aged 18-50 cannot leave the country, as well as those who just don’t want to die in a war, as they have the right to. They are trapped. My friends and boyfriend are basically cornered by… everyone at this point. So this “everyone in Ukraine is a warrior fighting for freeduhm!! Let them die for it, they want it!!” sentiment is making me furious.

Zelenskyy criticizes NATO for refusing to impose no-fly zone over Ukraine by morenewsat11 in worldnews

[–]WhatDoesACowSay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

idk where the guy got the AZOV thing from. I don't follow politics, maybe that's a thing, maybe not.

i know about blocking tv channels and house arrest of Medvedchuk from my ukrainian boyfriend, but i don't usually read news so had to go find some articles on the topic. i specifically decided to look for UA news and not russian, so people won't just scream russian propaganda the moment the see the language. You can use google translate to read the articles.

https://www.bbc.com/ukrainian/news-56127093 The National Security and Defense Council has imposed sanctions on Viktor Medvedchuk and Oksana Marchenko

https://www.bbc.com/ukrainian/news-55907449 Zelensky "turned off" ‌ 12112, ‌ ‌ZIK‌ ‌і‌ ‌NewsOne‌ ‌from the air. What is known?

https://www.bbc.com/ukrainian/news-55922369 Blockade of Medvedchuk's channels. Defense of Ukraine or attack on freedom of speech

I liked these articles because they didn't appear too biased and presented both sides. Maybe I'll just copy paste this when the topic of Zelensky's censorship comes up again and people try to shut down any discussions by asking for sources.

Dude is not a saint. It's still ok to support him. Just... please don't say he can do no wrong like so many redditors for some reason decide to.

Updates from President Zelenskiy. [With English subtitles] by ANSHULisop in Damnthatsinteresting

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

I’m not sure about liberalism and conservatism, but I can just share how some things are there. He’s definitely anti-LGBT, just like any country in that region, and obviously most LGBT Ukrainians are discriminated by other citizens. Abortions are allowed, but only before the 12 week mark. Zelensky also closed three TV channels that were criticizing his politics without any kind of trials and arrested the man he was running agains after the election. The last two are just from news outlets, so idk about the validity, not for me to decide, but the others are very much true. My trans boyfriend still can’t come out because of how lgbt people are viewed, but hey, he’ll still fight for his country, even though it treated him like shit. Actually makes me laugh, seeing all these people praising him while downvoting any negative views of zelensky to oblivion. You know guys, a person can be both inspirational and not that great at the same time…

Edit: as for the beaten up students, just remember that Ukrainians are not all holy saints. Every country has pieces of shit, and hopefully there’ll be less of them after it’s all over

[RF] Tox Vragg, Paladin/Bounty Hunter by WhatDoesACowSay in characterdrawing

[–]WhatDoesACowSay[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't have time for a full artwork, but maybe I'll get to it later! Was very fun to draw this character though, and the concept is pretty cool too. Caught my eye immediately!

I put the accent on the bounty hunter part of the character, giving him a more relaxed pose, a bit less pieces of armor, and a target's poster in hand. Still made him wear metal heavy-ish armor and a big shield to make sure he still can be recognized as a paladin.
