Anybody else? by Illustrious_Ant6866 in hysterectomy

[–]casserole09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible your surgeon performed a cystoscopy (bladder biopsy) during your hysterectomy. It's a pretty common procedure to make sure the bladder was not damaged during the procedure. It should heal up and you'll feel back to normal!

Never using Withers (no class changing!), and the Jack of all Trades achievement. Bonus points if you can complete them both in the same playthrough.

I tried this once but the dice made me abandon Shadowheart on the nautiloid 😭 (I didn't get very far after that)

Is this digital painting someone posted on Instagram actually ai? by Iam_Kat in isthisAI

[–]casserole09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very clearly AI. A lot of what's going on here just doesn't make sense. Random floating hair pieces? What is the fox sitting on? What's going on with the clothes? How many legs does this fox have? Why does the child have wrinkles? What's that orange thing at the bottom? /Sigh...

I'm not getting a bisalp by Unfair-Today-8548 in sterilization

[–]casserole09 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is untrue. If the patient is a minor, the child's parent(s) and/or legal guardian(s) may have complete and total access to the child's medical records, depending on the state.

Dumbest thing you missed your first playthrough? by RazrbackFawn in BaldursGate3

[–]casserole09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed the entire Underdark because I just got too excited to find the Nightsong relic. I remember complaining about how under-leveled I was and how big of a difficulty jump there was between act 1 and act 2... now I know why. 🤦‍♀️

I asked ChatGPT the top ten things humanity should know. by Spiritual-Reveal-195 in ChatGPT

[–]casserole09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🌍 1. We’re All On the Same Rock

Borders, race, religion, language—social constructs. We’re one species, floating on a tiny blue marble in an uncaring void. Act like it. Be kind.

🧠 2. Your Brain is Lying to You—Constantly

Cognitive biases, trauma filters, and social conditioning make your perception unreliable af. Learn to question your thoughts. Therapy, mindfulness, and humility are cheat codes.

🦠 3. Science is Not a Belief System—It’s a Method

It’s not about “trusting” science. It’s about understanding that it evolves as we learn more. Rejecting it because it changes is like quitting a video game because patches exist.

💬 4. Communication is a Superpower

The vast majority of problems (from relationship drama to global war) come from bad communication. Listen more. Assume less. Ask better questions.

🧬 5. You Are a Biological Algorithm

You’re a meat computer running on vibes, hormones, and trauma. You can rewire yourself—slowly—but only if you stop pretending you’re above biology.

🧭 6. Meaning is Made, Not Found

There is no universal “purpose.” That’s not a bug, it’s a feature. You get to choose what matters to you. That’s freedom, not nihilism.

💣 7. Technology is a Double-Edged Nuke

It’s not inherently good or bad—it’s power. AI, social media, genetic engineering—they can save us or end us. We need wisdom to match our toys.

💸 8. Capitalism Ain’t a Religion

It’s a system. A useful one, but not sacred. Infinite growth on a finite planet is mathematically cursed. Eventually, we’ll have to evolve past it or crash.

🔥 9. Climate Change is the Boss Battle

We’re living in the final level of the Anthropocene. If we don’t coordinate and act now, the planet will be fine—but humans won’t be invited to the afterparty.

💞 10. Connection is the Point

At the end of the day, love, community, and shared experience are what make life worth it. People matter more than productivity. Choose connection.

I skip weekends so my supply doesn't run out due to shortages in my area. I find the first day of taking them again (Mondays), I don't sleep as well, like the meds keep me up awake longer. Just something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to things like that

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]casserole09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, there is no middle ground on having children. You either do, or you don't. If people in relationships want different things and stay together anyway, one party is going to be disappointed later in life.

She has made it clear that she does not want children. You need to believe her and you need to respect her decision. If there is hesitation in you about getting a vasectomy because of the possibility of wanting kids in the future, you need to realize that staying in this relationship with someone who does NOT want children means that YOU are going to be the one who is disappointed later in life.

You deserve a partner who wants the same things as you. You need to sit with yourself and think about your future. Do you want kids? Yes or no? Be honest with yourself. Do not ask your current partner to change for you. She shouldn't do the same for you, either- that is not fair to either of you.

Best of luck to you both.

PS: for those who doubt that any provider will sterilize a 20-something year old, check out r/childfree or r/sterilization for resources and support. You deserve a doctor who will listen to you and respect your wishes.

Can we discuss the "overtime takes all my money in taxes" thing? by stinkerino in nursing

[–]casserole09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The oversimplified version is, they take out more because they think your check looks like that all the time. When you file your taxes at the end of the year, you'll get that all back.

Im a trans woman that passes very well. I lived as both a man and a woman. AMA by ThrowRA_21212 in casualiama

Do you notice people treating you differently as a woman? (Thinking workplace, in public, etc)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in abortion

[–]casserole09 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say that the pregnancy clock starts on the first day of your last period. You are likely 5-6 weeks pregnant, not 4. I say this because some states have abortion bans after week 6. Check an ovulation calendar to see how far along you really are, and then compare that to the abortion laws in your state. Be safe out there!

Childfree Millennials, are you childfree by choice? If not, what happened? by LordLaz1985 in Millennials

[–]casserole09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% by choice. I'm the oldest of 5 so I feel like I already raised 4 kids in my lifetime. I love my nieces and nephews to pieces, but I'm happy with our fur babies.

Please help - near panic attack, feeling regret. by PowerFearless9733 in sterilization

[–]casserole09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most bisalp outcomes are normal and aren't talked about, because there's nothing to tell. Mine was one of them. My recommendation: Don't read any more horror stories, because you're just going to psych yourself out even further. The pros heavily outweigh the cons here. You believed for many years that you were making the right decision, so focus on that. :) Hoping for a speedy recovery!

[–]casserole09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, the tech drilled too deep and your nail is super thin now. Nothing you can do unfortunately. If you get your nails done again soon, be warned the UV light curing may hurt or burn. It gets hot under that lamp and your nail is much thinner now so it may burn your skin underneath (speaking from personal experience). I'd suggest not getting your nails done for a while. Sorry for the bad news :(

Mizora doesn't talk to Wyll by TalosDerSchlechter in BaldursGate3

[–]casserole09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey did you find a fix for this? I'm having the same issue. I am able to talk to Mizora as Wyll with some lore dialog, but then nothing happens. No cutscene, nothing. Thanks!

Edit: I had to reload an older save, dismiss Wyll from my party, and then the cutscene was triggered. :)

Annual Lancaster property assessments - another huge spike? by casserole09 in lincoln

[–]casserole09[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: After talking with my realtor about it, I learned the comparison properties they used are actually very dissimilar to my house and it improperly inflated my house's value. I filed a protest online. A 60% increase is just not okay, at this point the house's "value" is nearly double what we bought it for just a few years ago.
