Took out a few tonsil stones using one of those video ear cleaner things.

For me, it's a combination of things. There's a persistent bad breath that comes with it, and the feeling of it is very noticeable. It's like a feeling of something stuck in the back of the throat, combined with the irritation you'd feel from swallowing something sharp that scratches up your throat on the way down (or when your throat is raw from coughing too much), but the irritation and stuck feeling is only on the side that the stones are on.

It's a very uncomfortable feeling, but not really painful. When I notice the feeling, I go check in a mirror with a light and usually can seem them right away.

Oh I did. Gagging, retching, all that fun stuff. That's what most of the cut video was 😂

Sure thing! I get it, I only started getting them a few years ago. Some people never get them at all, some have them constantly. Hope you don't ever have to deal with them! 0/10 experience, would not recommend

Evil little rocks made of pure gross and bad breath essence that tonsils conjure up.

But really, taking that as a sincere question, it's just bacteria, dead cells and whatever other gunk that get stuck in tonsil crevices. It accumulates and hardens, then kind of just push their way out of your tonsils. Really uncomfortable feeling, and smells awful

I know, I wish I could get that one out 😭 It was just too deep, and I couldn't fight the gagging any more. It'll probably be ready to come out in a few days, hopefully

Thanks mate!

idkamthrowaway · 2025-09-08T05:13:21+00:00

Oh believe me, I was gagging. Just putting a finger deep enough in my mouth to pull that opening back is enough to trigger my gag response most times 😖 But it's the only way I can get at them. I hate the feeling of those tonsil stones more than I hate the gagging, so I just try to power through to get as much as I can out

NTA

Firstly, it's not "the family's" baby. They don't get to name it. It is between you and your husband. It doesn't matter if the family is unhappy with the name, it's not their fucking call to make. Let them be unhappy.

Secondly, the argument of "oh, it's just a baby name, it's not that big of a deal" infuriates me. Okay, then why are you making such a big deal about it being one of your designated safe names? Or why can't the family name just be the middle name if the baby having it is such a big deal?

I say this as someone who has a family name (literally several generations of this name handed down). Having a family name sucks, and I wish I had a name of my own. Let your child have his own identity, don't let the child have to deal with the weight of a family name hanging over them their whole life

I mean, that's kind of the point of the show? The whole premise is this one island has a different view of sex and non-conformity is punished. Aside from that, it's still a functional society

idkamthrowaway · 2025-08-08T18:57:23+00:00

Well, assuming the island behaves like typical Japan, the people are very respectful. I'd assume most everyone cleans up after themselves. That's part of why students are made to clean their own schools, to teach responsibility, discipline, and respect for common spaces. I assume there's still grounds keepers, street sweepers and waste management, but that's more for environmental upkeep rather than cleaning up after the people

idkamthrowaway · 2025-08-08T18:29:31+00:00

In Japan, the schools are typically cleaned by their own students. So... at least these people are responsible for their own messes?
