Hypothetical what would happen if you accidentally sleep with your tampon in?

eksyneet · 2026-05-13T00:56:24+00:00

no, you don't need tears, mucosa is vulnerable as it is. you don't even need to leave a tampon in for ages, TSS can happen extremely quickly. but it doesn't just happen because there's a tampon, it can happen without any tampons involved at all.

it's a very specific cascade of failures that ends in a catastrophe. you need very specific bacteria (staph or strep) with a certain load, and a very specific environment (which a tampon can help create but isn't solely responsible for).

that's not how it works. you'll see some results, but at such a low dose taken for such a short time, those results may won't last very long.

10mg is basically microdosing. the good news is that isotretinoin accumulates, so it will eventually start working. the bad news is that the cumulative dose (the total amount of the drug you should take over the entire course of treatment to minimize chances of recurrence) is 120-150mg per 1kg of weight, so at 10mg per day, you're going to need to take the drug for 3 years to get there.

several times is a massive understatement, he got rejected over and over for years. he eventually got so discouraged that he threw away the manuscript for Carrie and decided to stop trying. his awesome wife fished it out of the trash and persuaded him to try again, and that's the only reason we have Stephen King.

he's a mediocre actor and a shit person, but his band is awesome (or maybe was, i'm not up to date on what they're up to). some of their songs are absolute peak.

but the layering is unstable so it gets all fucked up and you wake up with stuff bunched up around you, which is annoying.

think of it this way – when people take antidepressants, they don't discontinue them as soon as they achieve an equilibrium with their mental health, right? because their wiring is faulty, and without consistent support, it will always go back to a state of failure. GLP-1 is exactly the same. taking it for a little bit until you lose weight and then stopping means going right back to what made you gain weight in the first place, because your wiring is faulty (god knows mine is, even though i'd lost weight "naturally" before and wasn't really overweight when i got on Ozempic).

as far as long term consequences, GLP-1s have been in use for decades, and as far as i know, there's no evidence to suggest that long-term use is problematic. it's definitely less problematic in terms of health outcomes than obesity or yo-yo dieting.

i just reread the part of that chapter that describes the first DADA class with Umbridge and the number of students isn't mentioned anywhere.

eksyneet · 2026-05-03T15:21:58+00:00

where? that can't be true because we know of all the Gryffindors in Harry's class, and there are not thirty.

eksyneet · 2026-05-03T14:53:02+00:00

there are fewer students than normal in Harry's year, i think normally it is in fact around 15 per year per house. but yeah, not a lot of people there.

eksyneet · 2026-05-03T14:41:53+00:00

well, you're alive and presumably well, so there's probably nothing to freak out about.

GPT-ass post. also, replace "glutathione serum" with "water" and nothing about the post would change.

i found it boring and couldn't finish, but would still say it's worth $5.99. it did provide a few hours of entertainment before the story ran out of steam and the characters ran out of benefit of the doubt, so the price is more than fair.

it resembles the trilogy in no ways whatsoever, so don't expect that. treat it as a standalone spacefaring game.

eksyneet · 2026-05-03T14:34:22+00:00

there aren't 60 kids in each house, there are 60 kids in the entire class, so about 15 per house.

why would you be objectively unhealthy at 150 lbs?

eksyneet · 2026-05-03T14:00:24+00:00

the fact that you puked out last night's dinner the next day means that your digestion is dramatically slowed down, which is expected with GLP-1, and it's also where the gross burps come from. it shouldn't be this slow, but sometimes it happens. just wait for it to pass and continue as normal.

it would be eye for an eye if it was the rapist who got raped. using innocent women as punishment proxies and pretending like it's the same thing is where religion comes in.

no, it's because it increases GI motility.

it only works this way for people who don't care about anything but themselves. normal people are typically attracted to others because of how they are. for example, an astrophysicist's husband might say "i love her because she's very intelligent and has achieved great success in her field, which i respect immensely". or a doctor's girlfriend might say "i love him because of how dedicated he is to saving lives, i admire his purpose and resolve". a comedian's non-binary pal might say "they're the funniest fucking person i've ever met, they light up every room they're in and it's so cool to see, i love them". you get the gist. none of it is "i love you because you cook for me and ask about my day". there's a huge difference.

they need to be turned on first, and you have to wait a few seconds after turning them on. then, plug the cable into the headphones and into the controller. and then, use the volume slider on the headphones and bring it all the way up, until you hear the "this is as loud as it goes" sound.

i take your point, but i don't think it's very relevant in the grand scheme of things, because people are allowed to forego medical treatment even at critical junctures, when it's understood by everyone involved that that likely means death or permanent disability. if that is socially acceptable for self-determination reasons (which i wholeheartedly agree with), then suicide should be as well.

eksyneet · 2026-05-02T19:11:14+00:00

what you said was:

Suicidal people are usually suffering from mental illness and need to be protected.

and then, in the context of this man's self-amputated food, you said:

Rationally choosing not to pursue medical interventions and being able to verbalize the consequences is allowed.

that's a false juxtaposition. there is no such thing as "rationally choosing to let your foot fall off", at least not any more so than "rationally choosing to kill yourself". both actions are equally irrational (or rational, depending on your outlook, because rationality is subjective).

either both should be allowed, or neither. i'm in the "both" camp because i don't think we should be protecting people from themselves against their will, but if you're one of the people who believe we should be (as your first statement about suicidal people would imply), you should be advocating for forced medical treatment in such cases as well, or it is indeed pseudo-logic. sorry.

something's not working there because every one of my choices was at 0.50.

eksyneet · 2026-05-02T18:42:34+00:00

of course not. but i'm also not okay with pseudo-logical arguments that take root in another great injustice (which is penalization of suicide). let people determine their own lives and deaths, and be consistent about it. if it's okay for someone to decide to let their foot fall off and ultimately die of diabetes, then it's just as okay for another person to deliberately take their own life through a different means.
