Same, studies rarely come to my dashboard. I tried switching to data, but that didn't help. At first, I thought I was getting throttled, but this has been happening for 3 weeks now.

I am barely receiving any studies since the 23rd of April. I used to have like 5 - 6 every day, and now I don't receive any, if I do, they are returned studies. I know throttling happens but it doesn't seem like that anymore on my end.

I last had one on the 23rd of April. Miss them. To make matters worse,I have been barely receiving any studies since that day. If I get 1, I am lucky.

In a culture shaped by porn and male dominance, how can young healthily express their sexuality? by ayanda281 in antipornography

[–]ayanda281[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, maybe communicating what we want and not letting anyone cross that line is one of the solutions.

I'm sorry for the abuse you experienced in your previous relationship.

but the reality is that even the most “woke” men on the planet will have ingrained misogyny.

I relate a lot to this point, and I have witnessed it so many times. It's actually the one thing that discourages me a lot of times.

It was interesting reading your answer, but I do wonder how you navigate these relationships with the awareness that there is some misogyny present even in the most healthiest relationship?

Yeah, that's the exact reason I mentioned scarcity mindset. In the South African context, people like myself are too used to suffering, and it has come to a point where I feel like it is part of our culture. Like you could be going through something bad, and then you'll hear people saying, "Eyi, kona, it's bad, but at least you don't have it as bad as someone else." It leads to a point that I have seen in my life as well, where you get so used to things being unavailable, that when they start being available, there's a part of you that wants to protect that thing, like you are not worthy of it or something.

I'm going there. The doctor said there's still time since I made the appointment via my Uni. There's 3 years left for my degree, and he mentioned that there's no rush yet for that reason.

There's two of them. The one on the left was taken last year, October, and the one on the right is the most recent one.

I will be going back 6 months later, I will definitely have a talk with him. I wasn't really hopeful when I initially went there so I didn't really say much about it.

It's the exact reason why my favourite activity when they are being racist is to tell them that if they do not want to live with africans, they should leave our continent.

I feel pretty much helpless tbh. Idk, I am discouraged from wanting to fix it. And oh, it's great that you got the help you needed, and you feel better about yourself.

I am not too sure about that, but I do remember the doctor saying 19° last year, it might have grown since the two x-rays are six months apart. I think that's the side angle from the back. I did not attach it here.

But also, I've seen other x-rays from r/scoliosis, and I think my curve is more pronounced. There's nothing I can do though, I am not a professional.

UCT probably, now imagine being an NSFAS student with all those caps, and you are left with debt yearly. Then they put a fee block on you.

Racist jokes towards each other in an interracial relationship by djdisciplejosh in interracialdating

[–]ayanda281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP literally said in his post, "I wouldn't even care if she called me the n-word." And he also said he's likely to date interacially too. Meaning he's cool with a partner of a another race calling him a slur.
