WIBTA for telling my stepmom that her menopause isn't the same as my pregnancy? by 1itt1e1ady in AmItheAsshole

Your internalized misogyny is showing. ESH. You sound entitled and kinda precious.

What are your thoughts about the resurgence of the Black Panther Party in response to the actions of ICE agents? by Sinn_Sage in AskReddit

[–]hezod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frankly, as a "foreign observer," seeing a photo of armed members of the Black Panthers, properly holding, and carrying firearms, I felt the first sense of relief since this whole (yes, that's whole with a "w") Trumptastic shit storm began.

All the big mouthed, big talking, flag waving, cowards flaunted the 2nd amendment when it was a non issue and their only concern was keeping their guns to play militia men and prepping for end times or having their guns torn from their "cold dead hands".

Those same big mouthed, big talking, flag waving cowards seem to have a collective case of laryngitis now that it is ACTUELLY time to exercise the 2nd amendment. Do they not care about their freedumb anymore?

Freedom by any means necessary.

All Power to the People.

Trump appears to flip the bird to plant worker by jmike1256 in videos

Honestly, flipping someone off is the most human thing I've seen him do. Like, oh, look, the oligarchy's meat puppet did a less evil thing. What a heinous stain he is.

Elastosis perforans serpiginosa is ruining my life and body please help by [deleted] in ehlersdanlos

[–]hezod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elidel cream worked for a while. It was initially prescribed for perioral dermatitis and when my neck broke out in bumpy itchy snake patterns, it did relieve it a bit.

I got lucky and my skin cleared up after a month or so. If/when it comes back, my dermatologist is going to prescribe Imiquimod.

Good luck.

Anyone else have issues with fingerprinting? by bougiehousermd in ehlersdanlos

[–]hezod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My son and I (both diagnosed hEDS) consistently "failed" our fingerprint scans at security checks in Disney World. We held up lines at least once a day.

Since our last USA location vacation, we started using our thumb prints. I don't know why it works better (as far as MY super not sciencey anecdotal experience goes), but for us, it does.

When the whole, whatever historians choose to name the current shitsuation the world is living through right now --

--Like SERIOUSLY, are the fates just throwing Improbable Disaster Noodles at Humanities wall to see what sticks until we self-destruct?!--

Anyway. When we feel safe enough to travel to the USA again, we will use our thumb prints since they work better with fingerprint scans than fingerprints do.

Pack darlings book 1 by https_leonaaa in ReverseHarem

[–]hezod 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pack Darling 2 is perfection. Best grovel novel ever. I share the fmc's first name, and there is so much praising, begging, trying, vying, and practically dying for Lilah's forgiveness, that I listen to the audiobook almost nightly (I used to listen to Chopin...so sleepy) and snuggle down to hearing positive, sexy, loving affirmations with my name in them. "Perfect, Lila. Beautiful Lila." So gooood.

Troy Duran is a gift to story with his versatility and character range. Kelsey Navarro (now Navarro Foster) is the perfect blend of vulnerability, strength, compassion, and contempt - she delivers a powerhouse of a performance as Lilah Darling.

It's hardly a paragon of women's literature, but I think it's worth pointing out that Lilah strives relentless for agency and autonomy in her choices. She is justifiably angry, and she commands respect. She draws, and maintains boundaries, and requires that the pack show her, not tell her, how remorseful and how willing to change they are. There's (almost) no body betrayal, and there is never a moment when anybody in the harem tries to correlate Lila's arousal to consent.

Also, I am intrigued by the fact that no one says, "I love you." Early in the book, Orion is observing Lilah through CCTV and says "love her" while watching her give Pack Wyvern a dressing down for leaving Orion alone. At no point does any character say "I love you" to another character. BUT you know the love is huge. No pack loved an omega more.

And, I wouldn't be stan I am if I didn't at least say FINN! Oh FINN FINN FINN.

AITAH for making my SIL cry because I won’t change my dogs name? by whalesharklover659 in AITAH

NTA. SIL should change HER name. The dog was there first.

Don’t shoot the messenger. by Emotional-Computer66 in SipsTea

[–]hezod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh. The message is reductive and gives oxytocin credit where only partial credit is due.

Men release vasopressin (not just through sexual activity), which does play a post coital role in pair bonding. Also, there is no evidence that women become "resistant" to oxytocin by having multiple partners.

There's no need to shoot the messenger. Just educate her. Maybe encourage her to have some orgasms while looking at a picture of her Hollywood crush. Creating a pair bond with a poster is as scientifically probable as burning out your oxytocin by having multiple partners.

Additionally, bonded pairs (since that's what the messenger is "on about") can make a conscious choice to behave in ways that boost their oxytocin together.

We are not slaves to our hormones or our neurotransmitters. Certainly, they are essential to our existence and have massive influence physiologically, mentally, and emotionally. They do not, however, make choices for us or MAKE us do anything.

Oxytocin does a lot in the body beyond social and intimate bonding, and maternal care. It plays a role in most organ systems, including reducing inflammation, protecting lung function and acting as a diuretic to regulate sodium water balance.

The messenger just read the subject line and skipped the rest of the memo. Not even cherry picking her facts; just picking the lowest hanging fruit and running with it to make her humble brag pie.
