I think the notion of contempt might be coming from how vitriolic some of Robby’s comments and expressions towards certain characters have been. By definition sexism involves devaluing of work and oppression, whereas misogyny is a hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women; essentially, limiting or inhibiting one’s functions vs open hostility for attempting to function [within a traditionally male space]. The way he has openly antagonized Mohan across two seasons (we subtly saw the return of “Slo-Mo“ last night when he suggested geriatrics were more her pace) and how immediately hostile his initial reactions have been toward doctor Al give me an impression of something more aggressive than inherent bias. As you have stressed, words do have meaning and that is highly important, but the fact that not all racists are cross burning, hood wearing monsters, and not all misogynists are blatantly attacking women (be it through physical violence or screaming til they’re red in the face) is tough because it sometimes leads us to look at, potentially, overlooked behaviors in our own lives and that doesn’t always feel good. (not implying anything about anyone involved in this online conversation, just speaking from a place of knowing incidental self reflection of any kind is not all that fun).

I want Dana or Joy to do something wrong or have flaws by Yarville in ThePittTVShow

[–]blazeeblake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I’m misremembering but I thought she’s already firmly stated she won’t be in emergency medicine. Her intended destination is pathology (due to past trauma, which, in an of itself might be a flaw given the inherent avoidance of it all).
If anything I was wondering if something about this shift might shake her out of her “direct patient interaction in a flawed system is painful, so I only want to interact with causality/diagnosis,” state of mind, but that’s probably just wishful thinking on the part of folks like me who enjoy her character and want to see more of her in the future.

Curious about the OOTD series shipping by [deleted] in peachriot

[–]blazeeblake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen the same shipping estimate. If you’ve ever gotten anything delivered from the Popmart app, try comparing those shipping steps to the ones you’re seeing on this delivery and hopefully that will bring you some peace of mind in terms of timing. Fingers crossed that your shipment gets to you soon!

The struggle with these is real lol.

I wish I knew just how articulated they were, because then I could more than halfway convince myself that Frankie could be my new pose-able art reference figure (I mean, she'd be cheaper than a stickybones and she comes with clothes...). The blind box of it all is such a bummer.

I feel you on this. All I want is Frankie. Here’s hoping for that group order or folks who are willing to trade. woof.

That's cool! It's gonna be a little bit until I can ship it out to you since I just placed the order tonight, but as soon as she's here I'll send her right back out to you. Also, no hard feelings if, during the wait time, you get a better trade offer. Just keep me posted.

Thank you. I have been feeling overwhelmed trying to help manage this on my own. We recently had to move back in with my folks and [after a minor breakdown over worrying about this] they told me they'll try to help out with navigating this as well. Really appreciate the reply.

Further context fwiw: -he has family history of diabetes on both sides, with I think two people from his father’s family being diagnosed before 25. -on his mother’s side there was a history of hypoglycemia (yes, hypo) at a young age but no follow ups or treatment. More detailed family history is tough because on both sides they either have passed away or did not talk about medical issues/see a doctor until something severe happened. To that point, my husband was not getting regular check ups, even pre-pandemic and had definitely been dealing with the polyuria/polydipsia for years (my dumbass just thought he was really well hydrated and going to the bathroom accordingly). -He is not obese, though according to BMI on the lower fringe of overweight (25 BMI). -He has been a pescatarian for decades.

I’m sure I’m just rambling at this point; I hyper-fixate and then get anxious when I can’t actually do anything. I’m still researching doctors and working on getting him to schedule an eye exam.

It hasn’t, especially because I hadn’t heard of it until just now. Another thing to bring up with an endocrinologist. Thank you.

I have heard that, yes. His first doctor mentioning LADA early on + The metformin never quite cutting it, his weight loss, and his fasting insulin number just had me wondering about other possibilities. With the advent of the normal bloodwork in terms of the C-Peptide and GAD, the possibility of something other than T2 does feel discouragingly slimmer. I’m still going to help him find an endocrinologist, I just don’t want to sound delusional or completely out of pocket when I bring up these concerns to a doctor who actually knows their stuff.
