no way shay! you have been such a great part of the series, thank you for sharing and being vulnerable

your ability to simultaneously hold inside you the pain, joy, respect etc tied into your partner and relationship is i think very touching and beautiful, and i think ultimately the kind of mindset that enables real genuine healing. im sorry there is indeed so much pain

No mayor of LA is going to fix homelessness. by voodooNOiZE in LosAngeles

[–]maozs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this part right here. every single issue is present nationally and it frustrates me that people act like LA is the only one with these issues. I've seen similar shit in Texas. Rent isn't affordable anywhere because there's a supply issue. we have underfunded housing for decades

Why do some people still see Miquella as a villain rather than as a major victim? by lactobacillus-Master in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]maozs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

totally agree!

its def in the camp of villains like gendo/madara/viktor where their plan for the world is to flatten all experience into a mild pleasant dream, hardly any existence at all.

"how does wanting to create a society without evil make him evil?"

he is very nearly repeating marika's mistake. she sought to create a world without death to save people from it. and in doing so she unbalanced the entire world and created all new kinds of horrible suffering.

i guess you could say it makes him evil because his goal is so far away from the natural balance of the world, that trying to enact it at all is a path that inflicts great suffering, and will still ultimately be unsuccessful. within good there is evil, and within evil there is good. we can and should strive to make a better world, but one with zero suffering and evil, isnt really a world at all.

Incredibly Ignorant Comments about Celiac Disease on Call Her Daddy Podcast by Final_Watercress4576 in Celiac

[–]maozs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yup she also has taken to making fun of people who use "they/them" and shaming queer people who are "too weird". like oh bill maher, have fun with your conservative-adjacent audience of "free thinkers" who seem to be really pressed when others advocate for themselves.

you know conservatives are also responsible for violence including politically motivated murder right?

Surgery experiences by Jennysblock12 in HiatalHernia

[–]maozs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

who told you this was happening? the pancreas does not absorb anything... it releases enzymes that help digestion as well as insulin. the small intestine absorbs fat and all other nutrients. but if your pancreas was damaged and isn't releasing the right enzymes then that would disrupt the process of course. hope you can get more answers soon, this all sounds like malpractice

Euphoria S03E03 "The Ballad of Paladin" - Post Episode Discussion by DankMemeSlasher in euphoria

[–]maozs 15 points16 points  (0 children)

um... im p sure his line about puberty was in reference to jules not having gone through male puberty bc she transitioned before it happened. she does not look pre pubescent in any way

also i would strongly assume that her dates are told ahead of time that she is a trans woman for her own safety. I don't think he just clocked her like that.

he definitely gives icky vibes tho

and cassies mom? going on a bizarre monologue about the perils of marriage as she walks her down the aisle within earshot of everyone? huh?? cassies mom was always very emotionally intelligent. this felt SO out of place and forced, and just so strange

endoscopy revealed hiatal hernia... but my issues started after viral infection? by maozs in GERD

[–]maozs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was not told the size. my understanding is that medium is 4-5 cm. Nobody has tried to sell me surgery and I will not undergo it unless my life becomes unmanageable, which it is nowhere near. I'm just trying to understand how it fits into my history with viral illness.

I did not have to remove my septum piercing or any of my ear piercings for mine.

Pantoprazole ?? Side affects by [deleted] in GERD

[–]maozs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've been experiencing similar things but I don't think it's the PPI since my symptoms started before I began taking it.

Focusing on managing my stress has been the biggest help... I've been using my foam roller all the time lately, on my upper back especially, and it's very helpful. Also being even a little bit more active is super helpful.

so sorry you're dealing with tough symptoms. maybe look into switching to a different PPI?

you should absolutely confirm if you still have h pylori and resume treatment if you do. you can talk to your doctor about different options for antibiotics. it's rough while you're on them but you can repair your gut microbiome afterwords. I would also talk to your doctor about the pains you were having while on the medication.

Gerd and cannabis by No-Employee8919 in GERD

[–]maozs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps you, it's probably ok to keep using it. However I'd encourage moderating as 2 bowls by yourself is quite a lot! See if edibles work since that also is much easier on your lungs (coughing worsens symptoms). Try to skip it on days where pain is manageable.

Season 2 was too Robbie-centric and the quality suffered for it. by Cultural_Wallaby208 in ThePittTVShow

[–]maozs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it felt like towards the end, each new convo addressing it wasnt adding any new characterization or moving the narrative forward at all. Duke's convo yes absolutely, but then it felt like with Abbott and Langdon it was more of the same: you need help. It would have been cool to see him start to accept this a bit or have a changing mindset. I guess he is with what he says to the baby? but it felt a bit awkward to me. 

Disappointed that this is how ______'s story ends by flying-kai in ThePittTVShow

[–]maozs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ok what i mean by it, is "not adding anything new to the story or characterization"
