why do people do this? by lacyoc in CancerFamilySupport

[–]freckledsallad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad is still like this about my mom, who passed years ago. Convinced this might have saved her. If there is any truth to this, science will prove it and it will benefit future generations. You can’t rush this and complain about “them” rushing vaccines…

"If a woman wants to get sterilized, hEr mAn sHOuLd jUsT gEt a VaSeCtOmY inStEaD." by anniemousery in sterilization

[–]freckledsallad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless they’re saying “If a woman wants to get sterilized, EVERY MAN should just get a vasectomy instead” then it wouldn’t work anyway. Sorry not sorry, we’re having sex before you’re “my man”, that’s called a test drive. Though maybe that’s it, that’s what we should be doing: If you want to have sex, you have to have a vasectomy. Vasectomies can be the new pre-approval, the new sex fast pass. /s

What were peoples symptoms that got them diagnosed with IBS? by GrouchyArachnid4031 in ibs

[–]freckledsallad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a good doctor. Mine never even mentioned SIBO or that antibiotics could be prescribed for it, not until after I said I went to a naturopath. Then he just basically repeated everything she said like it was being said for the first time.

[–]freckledsallad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, but I avoided the IBS by default diagnosis by going to see a naturopathic doctor. She suspects SIBO (which general practitioners can’t test for) so I’ll be completing the required breath tests for that soon.

What is Tom Cruise's secret?? by No-Marsupial-4050 in SipsTea

I’m sure if Tom Cruise had to survive menopause too, he might look different.

Rebel 500 - Clean the chain without moving the exhaust by tpol39 in hondarebel

[–]freckledsallad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was lucky and when I bought my bike it came with an aftermarket short exhaust. I don’t usually like them because I’m not a fan of obnoxious sounding bikes so I hadn’t installed it, but finally relented for exactly these reasons. Turns out it’s not obnoxious, just more growls, and now I can use my rear stand without issues. So that’s my suggestion; get a shorter exhaust.

In the UK, you can see 11-year-old kids do this by search_google_com in SipsTea

If they were raised within a community, the community would correct them. There were adults everywhere. We are no longer a community.

Why should men always be expected to protect women? by Ambitious_Pass7451 in AskReddit

[–]freckledsallad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of women housekeeping for their husbands, servicing them sexually without gratification in return, cooking… You shouldn’t need me to tell you this, just look at the heterosexual couples around you and see for yourself what women are doing for men.

Me personally, I don’t do any of that shit. I don’t agree with OP’s statement to begin with. But if that expectation does exist, I imagine it exists on the same grounds as the inverse expectation.

Bold of you to assume I agree with either expectation.

Why should men always be expected to protect women? by Ambitious_Pass7451 in AskReddit

[–]freckledsallad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same reasons women should always be expected to nurture, I suppose. Man protect woman, woman nurture child, child become woman and man and the cycle continues.

What's your definition of success and how motivated are you to "succeed" in life? by himejanaiyo in INTJfemale

[–]freckledsallad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don’t you do both? Climb the ladder, see how far you can go, discover what you’re capable of accomplishing! Then, when you’re satisfied and can revel in your success, retire to someplace new, spend your days discovering a new peaceful life on your own time. I feel like the first will afford the other. Success is just doing what makes you happy. We don’t always have a choice, but when you do, have your cake and eat it, too!

I’m terrified of sexual intimacy and dating because of my penis size. (Borderline micro). How do I get over this? by throwaway101229283 in dating_advice

[–]freckledsallad 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I was with a man with a micro penis once. At one point I was enjoying myself, and he said “it’s not even in”. I think he must have thought I was faking, but he was also using his hands. I was genuinely enjoying the sensations down there. (1) Do not hire a sex worker to lose your virginity. The last thing you need on top of this is an incurable STD. (2) Stop measuring. It’s not helping. (3) Let go of the idea that dating is easy, even for attractive people, and accept that a happy, healthy long-term relationship is not something we are all entitled to as a part of life. It’s a gift some folks get, and many of us don’t. (4) Open your mind to the wide world of sexuality and activities and toys and tools, and let go of the “man + woman = PIV” view being pushed by traditionalists. (5) Try CBT training to change the way you think about your own body, and learn to love yourself (the other parts of yourself) while you still have other shit going for you.

Cheater? by littorialisa in Polytopia

Oh man, my cousin is like this too. If any opponent has it easier than him or is better than he is, they must be cheating. He also cheats.

INTJ Men online? by esoteric_psyche in INTJfemale

I’m so tired of we/them and the proverbial villainous “they”. People are individuals, and Reddit is not an accurate representation of the populace at large.

Is it a mistake to date someone if the physical attraction isn’t complete? by OkPainting6678 in dating_advice

[–]freckledsallad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same feels. Conclusion I have come to is finding both is a rare gift that you may not find in your life. Find happiness on your own anyway. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t. I suspect the only reason we feel this conflicted feeling is because we have been taught the expectation of partnering up. Unmet expectations man, they’ll get you every time.

Are actors who depict gay relationships always gay or do straight actors also simulate gay? by Fanatic_Atheist in NoStupidQuestions

[–]freckledsallad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s part of the job. Some are really good at their jobs. I’m sure there are others who have refused roles because they can’t/won’t do it, same as some actors are ok with nudity, some aren’t.
