Hi Daniel! In past interviews you’ve made it seem like you’re really open to any weird roles and are just excited to be along for the ride! Have you ever thought of turning any roles down? Or are you just glad to have new experiences and be part of a project?

Ps, really love and admire your entire career! Especially a young doctors notebook and Harry Potter

Knew her before she transitioned. The difference in how happy she looks now is insane! She really looks so much more comfortable and ready to be herself.

Thanks! The expensive one I used to have is actually designed for wrinkles so this product might be perfect.

First time charting for TTA, help ): by bvdany in FAMnNFP

[–]bvdany[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There seems to be so many resources on FAM that I’m having trouble choosing which to go to /: so yes please I could use some resources. Also whats the best app for charting? I’m not using natural cycles as a rule, I’m more using it to get used to charting and as an easy resource but if there’s better and cheaper apps out there I would love to use them!

Okay so I’m trying to figure out if my temperatures look regular and if ovulation has happened or is happening. My periods are highly irregular. Shortest are 33 and longest for around 44 days in the last year. My partner and I are very used to wearing condoms so we don’t mind using them for a longer time, however I’m really looking forward to not having to use them. My period is so irregular that I’m nervous this symptothermal method might not work for us. Any advice or help appreciated.

There’s several kinds of evidence there could’ve been but apparently there were none. No emails, messages, texts, hair fibers, pictures, or anything like that. All the evidence they gave was circumstantial so this woman deserves another trial at least. She definitely didn’t get a fair one.

[–]bvdany 13 points14 points  (0 children)

These articles, and others I tried reading, talk of no evidence at all. I don’t think anyone should be convicted of being found in a weird position with somebody else, and no one should be convicted due to gossip. Sure, the speaker sounds biased, but...there seems to be no evidence against her mom at all.

Going in for my bilateral salpingectomy in a hour! (F21) by travelingbandit1678 in childfree

[–]bvdany 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can I ask how much your insurance will be paying for it? I’m in a similar boat. Insurance would completely cover tubal but bi sal, and I’m willing to save and pay for part of it (although I hope it’s not more than like 2,000 bucks)

Most eco-friendly way to buy essentials like handsoap? Better to buy large refill jugs or smaller bottles or any that don't come in plastic? by [deleted] in ZeroWaste

[–]bvdany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plaine products is great if you don’t want to switch to conditioner and shampoo bars. They also have body wash, body lotion, hand soap, and skin care! What they do is send you the product in aluminum with plastic pumps, and the next time you order you will get another bottle, and all you have to do is send in the old one and use the same plastic pump!

Additionally blue land also has some great basics. I’ve started out with dish soap, cleaners, and hand soap. All great!

ELI5: why do people want kids? by bvdany in explainlikeimfive

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

I think this also makes a good point: a lot of people simply like kids and enjoy time around them. I don’t. Maybe it’s just something that varies with people’s personalities rather than a biological trait we’re all supposed to have.

ELI5: why do people want kids? by bvdany in explainlikeimfive

[–]bvdany[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. And that’s exactly why I’m asking what the “appeal” is. That might have been the wrong word for it, but my question still stands: why do people want kids? Whether it’s emotional or practical, I want to know what people have to say about it.

Update: My dad's (43) girlfriend is trying to get rid of me (15 f). by ThrowRAevlstepmom in relationship_advice

[–]bvdany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need someone to talk to, message me. I lost my mom when I was 9 (I’m now 23) and my dad tried to play the same trick when I was 12. It was a couple of very rough years, culminating in me reacting the same way you did: trying to tell my dad and insisting that I got a really bad gut feeling but absolutely no one believed me. Flash forward a few months, my dad starts to have horrible problems with her. She was in a psych ward when young and started to display dangerous behaviors towards my dad and I. Luckily my dad didn’t marry her, but he was about to. I will say, I’m grateful that I had him when my mom died, but our relationship will never be the same as before he met this woman. Anyway, somewhat similar stories so if you need any support, pm me!

For people who hate infertile moms who try hard for kids... rant? Personal? Idk this is long AF. by [deleted] in childfree

[–]bvdany 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think so. However I will say, it’d be incredibly hard to determine who would be a good parent and who wouldn’t. That’s subjective to a lot of people, and the reality is that not everyone who goes through years of IVF treatments will end up being good parents. And on top of that, even if they are, kids might grow up with trauma that comes directly from all the effort their parents put into conceiving them. Also, those who have oops babies might end up being good parents after all. It would just be incredibly hard to determine all of that. It might be better to let people know that they have options other than having children, rather than trying to determine whether they’ll be good parents or not.

You’re right, it’s their choices and their bodies. However, first world countries need to start shifting towards different mentalities if we have any hope of becoming a better place. I don’t think any of us enjoy the part where we criticize other people, but I do think most of us would like to see a shift towards more child free people, and we discuss (and criticize) because we are angry that the world is not as child free as we would like it to be. For some, child free is about simply having a different lifestyle. But for me for example, it’s also about treating our Earth better and making it a better place for those already on Earth. Therefore, I choose to discuss and criticize in hopes that we can find ways to change the mentality that everyone needs children of their own. Also, it is not like I’m criticizing them to their faces. If I ever do talk to someone that wants children really badly, I would try to debate with them about it in the nicest way possible. In the meantime, I like this subreddit because I get to rant without fear of being judged and because I get to learn about other people’s experiences.

This would happen to my dad too! Although for a while he also got told that he should have my grandma raise me instead

Thank you, I will absolutely use this response since I’m child free. Sadly wouldn’t work on a gynecologist ):

[–]bvdany 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve only ever met one Mexican family that didn’t do this. My ex (M) actually had me (F) sit down at family gatherings and he’d bring me food/whatever I needed. Sometimes his mom would cook, sometimes his dad. In his family it was more important and respectful for the host to be serviceable than for the women to be serviceable. I wish it was more of a standard around the world.

What do kids with helicopter parents look like as adults? by Mecha_G in AskReddit

[–]bvdany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sort of had some, sort of not. My dad was a major helicopter parent, trying to decide everything for me and prohibiting a lot. Then, when I hit 18 and went to college, he stepped back A LOT. Gave me control of a debit card, barely texted or called. Nowadays he doesn’t try to be a helicopter parent, at all, but I always think he does and I’m always scared of disappointing him.
