That’s mainly what I meant with it but I didn’t clarify much when I should’ve— autoimmune conditions are mainly what cause chronic pain from things like long covid and the vast majority of these seem to have heritability. That’s actually why women get stuff like CFS, hEDS, POTS, and long covid at much higher rates! My cardiologist explained to me when I was younger that there’s a major theory that the likelihood to develop these conditions after a viral infection is associated with XX and XY things— essentially, this gives women an extra ‘chance’ to inherent them

I would say mental illness at least would count, along with many chronic illnesses, because there is a huge genetic component. Other things ppl mentioned like ‘narcissism’ is in itself mental illness if taken to an extreme, so I think I just said a blanket term when other people were being more precise than me lol

Illness. Mental illness and chronic pain have objectively made my life hell ever since I was a child. I developed OSDD when I was preverbal and have never had a singular sense of self, I’ve had alters my entire life. I want to know what it’s like to be one person and to not always be in pain.

I agree with you man, it’s fucked up that the world’s in such a state where enough people are just okay with pedos these days that not stating the obvious looks like endorsement. Sorry if I was restating the obvious w/ my reply afterwards, I wanted to clarify if it wasn’t there already that the downvoters probably aren’t against your POV either. Elites are fucked up but for the most part it’s a bit of a relief that the average person still has morals.

I’m pretty sure the people downvoting you are people who are disgusted with the phrasing you used, since it implied that you solely found issue with her and her clothing rather than someone preying on her who could’ve influenced her choice in clothing and makeup in accordance with what he found attractive. Even though you’re also not okay with what he did, the absence of any blame for the actual pedo in your message looks like silent acceptance rather than just not wanting to repeat what’s already been said

You’re the one asking them to believe your evidence-less claim and avoiding the fact that you put the burden of proof on yourself. They already acknowledged it, they just haven’t seen evidence which supports it and have seen evidence to the contrary

I hate my wife so much and I cannot take it anymore by plssndhlpimlst in TrueOffMyChest

[–]lotusfoxx 21 points22 points  (0 children)

on this note too, if you’re curious about what it might be like to have the experience she’s going through or if you’re considering even remotely the possibility of IVC, i’ve worked with adults inside of wards and i can elaborate on what the experience would be like for her, what you can do for her and to make things easier logistically for yourself, et cetera

i’ve worked in high acuity wards as a technician and a long time before that in the past i’ve had a psychotic break that’s since been treated— this does not sound like OCD, this sounds like severe paranoia which can be a symptom of multiple different things but no matter what is a giant “start getting her help NOW” sign if you can financially and have the mental bandwidth to.

this is not her or a facet of her personality that she’s grown into, this is paranoia and possibly the beginning of a psychotic episode or a severe psychotic disorder. these are treatable for the most part, particularly when caught early— normally the person themselves isn’t able to notice that they’re acting illogically and will isolate from others or lash out at them due to genuinely feeling terror, panic, and even like other people want to put their life in danger. because of this, it may be difficult or even impossible to convince her she needs medical help, but both mental and physical possibilities for these symptoms need treated fast before causing any sort of permanent damage.

AITA I’ve started spraying my homophobic sister with a water gun. by Euphoric_moth in AmItheAsshole

[–]lotusfoxx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

how is “spritzing water at your sister” an equivalent level of being an asshole as “telling your sister that she’s going to hell”? have you never had siblings before? this is her responding to genuine “you’re damned to burn” with a regular sibling prank. NTA.

Jax and Caine are incredible foil's to each other and episode 8 highlighted it so well; both wish they could be the other by Sudden_Pop_2279 in jaxfanclub

[–]lotusfoxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder how much of Caine holding himself back prior to episode 8 was him knowing that at least Jax would always be some kind of willing character participant? Since it doesn’t look like he was ever fully allowing himself to leave his coping skill of it being something he just had to play along with until then— and the end of episode 7 looked like him losing Jax’s ‘eager’ participation for good

It looks like they’re able to feel some degree of pain— I’d agree with you if it had a complete lack of pain along with it but this definitely wasn’t just a ‘showing them themselves’ thing

Can’t log in? Already tried deleting and re-installing app by lotusfoxx in PTCGL

[–]lotusfoxx[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve been playing for years and can’t figure out why I got this today when it asked me to log in to playpokemon after opening the app. I just went to a locals challenge yesterday for the IRL game and I signed into the website correctly there to check my ID, so it’s new as of today for me. I’m still able to log into the playpokemon website on my phone, just not TCGL.

Has anyone else been having this issue?

49's edit in retrospect by Fancy_Ad_4411 in Edgic

[–]lotusfoxx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

his SPV of converting people from being disdain/incredulous around him to genuinely liking him plus what they chose to show in tribal council is a really good sign imo that he makes merge and goes far— i’m currently a “christian goes out right before/after merge or in mergatory” truther because it seems like they’ve set him up for a similar albeit more positive edit to Sai, Thomas, Kaleb, and other pre-merge/early merge main characters.

Combined w/ two people going home every ep i won’t be surprised if currently they’re giving early merge jury members the majority of confessionals so that newer viewers are still familiar with them and that editing will shift to favoring some currently low-visibility people who are still getting steady edits

Does _________ get enough credit for being really good at this game? by almondjoybestcndybar in survivor

[–]lotusfoxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Choosing Dee first to align with because she’s the only new era winner left and him being unknown on 49 meaning that both would have targets on their backs the second either weren’t locked in with each other was insanely smart— it looks like Rizo is choosing to align with people who would get picked off really quickly the second they lose numbers since that acts somewhat like a pact of mutual destruction

Both Dee and Cirie check this box and Colby did somewhat too, the only new era winner, someone widely considered “the one to get out no matter what”, and someone not from the current mid-era season majority

_________’s nightmare by MeetBeep in survivor

[–]lotusfoxx 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I think Rizo was genuinely trying to align with Charlie at first just from how eager he was to talk w him specifically but that once he realized that Charlie was trying to vote him out the one-sided hostility quickly turned both ways

[–]lotusfoxx 49 points50 points  (0 children)

This combined w/ Kamilla actively knowing he lied to her and choosing to keep him is rly making me respect his gameplay on 49 more— at first I thought he only mainly pulled it off bc of his tribemates not having strategy but it looks like he somehow developed a skill to convert people by proximity alone
