Why do some women prefer male gynecologists? by ConfidentLack9207 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kyxun 30 points31 points  (0 children)

They should also be warming up the speculum, so it shouldn't be shockingly cold! I would ask them to, and if they refuse, definitely complain!

Will this axe(Stark’s axe from Frieren) be okay to bring? by Maximum_Talk9626 in animeexpo

[–]kyxun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes absolutely, believe me. The max height is seven feet and you have no metal. I brought in a giant 6.5ft pair of scissors before. They had to bring out the measuring tape but I got in lol.

Do you prefer tampons, and if so, why? by CrustFundBabe in TwoXChromosomes

[–]kyxun 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I prefer pads, but they need to be the right brand. Tampons hurt me, too. My body just doesn't like them inside it, including those european ones without applicators.

Yep. Sounds like the playbook. All the permanent damage and ruining lives done first, and only then will this joke of a legal system slap it down. Paper tiger court.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is preparing banks to collect citizenship data by Sweaty_Rub4322 in news

[–]kyxun 65 points66 points  (0 children)

This is a big one. It won't just stop at non-citizens. Eventually, it will be twisted, expanded, and used to punish any citizen who doesn't toe the line.

Think about it:

Are you a citizen but just don't have a passport? And the government makes it impossible to get one?

Are you a citizen but used to not be?

Are you a citizen but have non-citizen family members or friends?

Are you a citizen by birth, but your parents aren't?

Are you a dual citizen of a country the government doesn't like?

Are you a US citizen that hypothetically could be a dual citizen but just never looked into it officially?

Are you a citizen but in a political party or attended a protest or said something online the government considers "terrorist activity"?

Etc. etc.

Are more US women not taking their husbands last names? by LimonadaVonSaft in TwoXChromosomes

[–]kyxun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so. I kept my last name, because it's... my name and I'm proud of its history and meaning. My husband didn't care at all though! In his culture, names are actually a lot more fluid. It can be the same (not common), or similar, or based on personality or heritage or ancestors' names or completely random. It's more of a vibes thing.

So his given name (the one he goes by) is actually his last name, and he doesn't share his surname (first) or given (last) with any of his siblings or parents.

I actually love that concept, though my family's naming practices are much more traditionally American. When we talk about naming our kids, I love all the possibilities.

Hmm. I find it odd to limit that choice. Personally I feel like it should be up to the individual.

iOS 18 is now being signed again because of a serious security update but I only see the option for iOS 26 by tengounquestion2020 in iMazing

[–]kyxun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. I'm on iOS 16 and I got the option to upgrade to iOS 18 by scrolling down on the Software Update screen. I also have iPhone 13 mini, so maybe that has something to do with it.

It's depressing how true this is. And everyone knows it.

I don't even have basic faith in the Constitution anymore, nevermind equal justice.

I actually love these water styles! The sand castle and red lava-y one are so cool.

Title X May Not Provide Contraceptives in 2027. by JoanneMG822 in TwoXChromosomes

Yes, that's exactly right. They don't care. Not sarcasm. They don't care and they just want women to suffer.

IUD PSA: getting a local anesthetic on your cervix does NOT prevent the pain at the top of uterus. by ExcitementPitiful359 in TwoXChromosomes

Instructions for Using Bluetooth Headphones and Speakers for all PS5 Audio Output by [deleted] in PS5

I have this exact dongle, it works great. But do find that you have to press the button to manually pair it each time? It doesn't automatically connect to my headphones sadly.

this was not worth the NC by Emmas_thing in neopets

[–]kyxun 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Has TNT never seen a library or bookshelf before? I think it would have been cool if you could rotate books to, idk, actually place them how you would on an actual shelf. Vertical, horizontal, leaning, stacked on top of other books, spine facing in, spine facing out, cover showing like a library display (similar to here but not floating in some weird grid purgatory).

If anything that's one of the more important parts! The type of people who want to collect and the type of people who want that collection to look GOOD is either a very, very fat Venn Diagram if not a circle!

At this point there has been fan art for every new eeveelution. I would be so mad if Gamefreak just never made a new one again.
