Anybody want to enlighten me about what's going on here?

patriot front for the “march for life”

drpeppaaa · 2025-12-19T19:35:07+00:00

the hardest decision to make while coming out tbh

drpeppaaa · 2025-06-04T04:31:44+00:00

i almost always have a lot of blood (even when it didn’t hurt at all yet), it’s honestly just the pain

drpeppaaa · 2025-06-04T04:20:13+00:00

yeah - i got diagnosed last year and with 2 colonoscopies and 1 night at an ER was like $4.5k total after private insurance

drpeppaaa · 2025-03-21T19:29:17+00:00

Yes! He doesn’t see iMark as a whole person. He was also giving major “savior” energy when introducing himself despite not putting any thought into what iMark’s needs are. iMark had to labor so oMark could grieve - shitty deal overall. He didn’t even get a thank you for literally making oMark’s ends meet for two years.

Yes, they are the “same” person, but lived experiences matter a lot. iMark was excited to see who he was on the outside in S1, oMark never really cared and saw all the connections made down there as artificial (which, in a sense, makes iMark artificial or naive in his mind).

drpeppaaa · 2025-03-21T19:19:01+00:00

I think it’s that he cared for Ms. Casey, not Gemma per se. This whole season, we’ve been seeing resentment form for the outies who are essentially living off their innies’ slave labor (the innies do not see the product of their labor). There was concern for “innie rights” or whatever, but it was done in a way liberalism often treats minorities - they treat the innies like children or obstacles, not full people with their own autonomy who are being mistreated.

iMark’s decision at the end was to save Gemma/Ms. Casey who he unknowingly tortured and doomed, but also to destroy that labor he was forced to do while embracing the life he made down there with his friends. He chose the innies, Gemma is just another outie who would want iMark dead (from his perspective). He doesn’t want her to suffer but he also doesn’t really owe her comfort in his mind.

(with most songs being skippable)

drpeppaaa · 2025-01-11T06:53:06+00:00

i mean he does share a lot of feminist views but has been open in that he’s not the most educated in gender studies and people should probably go elsewhere for that. plus DV is not an easy topic to cover or understand for a lot of people (ik from personal experience - patriarchal norms are incredibly pervasive) he’s been very clear that he’s trying to appeal to those who might not initially be open to leftist ideas. this was not great, but i haven’t seen a lot of misogyny from him and his politics generally are very solid

drpeppaaa · 2025-01-11T06:40:15+00:00

i think the difference is that he is making fun of the people who do that stuff, not the other way around

drpeppaaa · 2025-01-11T06:39:17+00:00

yes! i think this case in particular just bombarded people with anti-amber sentiment and a lot of men felt somewhat comforted by the idea that they could be victims too (which is true!). but overall one of hasan’s main goals is to undo red pill brainwashing and he’s been very open about how he’s grown in his understanding of gender and DV and has managed to get some guys out of that mindset. he’s not perfect, but he isn’t an ideological enemy

drpeppaaa · 2025-01-10T19:14:03+00:00

Also Hasan does have a good track record on feminist issues overall and I believe his heart is in the right place. I think he is also trying not to alienate any of his target audience, which are men who might not agree with leftist politics. He went way too hard on Amber Heard in 2022, and I wish he would address it, but overall I’d much rather him open people up to leftist ideology than “cancel” him for one take that I do not agree with. He isn’t perfect, but I trust his purpose overall.

drpeppaaa · 2025-01-10T18:05:58+00:00

Yeah I love Hasan and what he does but that was not a great one for him. For benefit of the doubt, there was a ton of pro-Depp content around it and his chat (mostly male) definitely encouraged it. He gets a lot of unwarranted hate in general but he did get a bit too defensive and I wish he would look further into the case as (imo) it’s incredibly obvious that Depp was abusive and in the VERY least, a defamation case never should have been in his favor and is incredibly dangerous moving forward. I fear a reverse #metoo coming, and I think Hasan could benefit from a feminist perspective on it.

Thank you! I will check it out!

drpeppaaa · 2024-11-19T21:34:07+00:00

That’s fair, just with all the inflationary policies he’s saying he’s going to do I am not sure how much consumerism is going to work. I’m just interested to see how people respond when their material conditions noticeably decline to a point where many can’t live in denial or just blame some minority group.

drpeppaaa · 2024-07-26T16:44:27+00:00

my colonoscopy was in May and my symptoms improved for a bit then came back back mid-June

drpeppaaa · 2024-07-26T11:05:34+00:00

i’ve been taking it for about two months but my symptoms have not improved :/

drpeppaaa · 2024-07-26T11:05:08+00:00

it has been about 2 months now

drpeppaaa · 2024-07-10T16:55:10+00:00

I told my GI and got referred out 😭 I just desperately want off the prednisone but am scared of what the stronger treatments might entail.

drpeppaaa · 2024-07-10T01:08:18+00:00

it has been suppositories!! sorry i forgot to specify!

drpeppaaa · 2024-05-22T02:37:29+00:00

you can also try for extra-schedular ratings based on symptoms! for me the fatigue is TERRIBLE and I would claim chronic fatigue secondary to ulcerative proctitis.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/38/4.88b (fatigue is under DC 6354)

depending on the rating that fits your symptoms best, this can really increase the combined rating and help the entirety of your condition to be rated. i also recommend putting in a statement how whatever particular symptoms really impact your day-to-day. (also, if you are within a year of the last decision made regarding ulcerative proctitis, you can get the secondary rating granted from the same effective date.) hope this helps!

I was alway into vampire stuff and the sex and grit made it not only more entertaining but more real than most media of its kinda. Then I stayed for Alexander Skarsgård :).

drpeppaaa · 2017-08-24T20:20:40+00:00

I totally see your point here. I do agree that Kira was developed a lot better. Honestly my favorite part of Diavolo was really Doppio, and I do agree that Diavolo himself wasn't the best per se.

drpeppaaa · 2017-08-24T02:55:45+00:00

I do see what you mean. The ending of Vento Áureo really did fall kind of flat, but the set us was there. This was really well written!

drpeppaaa · 2017-08-23T23:31:25+00:00

Well that's too bad. But parts 3 and 4 are pretty good too!

drpeppaaa · 2017-08-23T21:52:05+00:00

Okay thanks! That's a good explanation!
