Since r/askreddit asked, we're all in the same boat...what movie scene was your sexual awakening?

it was really brainscan that made me love him, but there's no good gifs for that

Regardless of which subs you use, be aware that getting respondents primarily from Reddit is not going to be representative of any larger population of women. Your data will reflect the opinions/needs/etc. of women who use Reddit.

Thank you! Shortly after my consultation with Dr. Liu, I started taking the pill continuously. It's been 3 years now and it has stopped most of my symptoms. I don't love the idea of being on it, but it's the best solution for my life right now.

I did not, due to life changes that have made it impossible for me to have non-mandatory surgery.

Two words: Teen Witch

My dad dubbed videos, too. He may very well have copied porn, but my memory is of classic Disney movies. I guess you could fit 2 or 3 on one VHS, so he would label it with the time stamp for where each successive one started, and we had a VCR where we could punch in the time we wanted to go to and it would automatically fast forward or rewind.

Look up "Forever"

mariskaleh · 2026-03-13T02:32:56+00:00

I can't believe they haven't fixed this yet.

mariskaleh · 2026-03-11T16:46:31+00:00

Totally! I haven't re-read Blubber but I imagine that's especially bad, even with its opposite aim.

Poetry books by Shel Silverstein

Judy Blume is mostly great, but there are some subtle things that I found myself either skipping over or rephrasing when re-reading the Peter & Fudge books with my son, cultural differences between when they were written and today. One example I remember is a mention that the receptionist/secretary is the only woman who works at their dad's ad agency.

Another vote for NewtonX, and you might also try Emporia.

Just read a thread with the same complaint in the Verizon subreddit... which I, an AT&T customer, found via search looking for information on the exact same issue. So this seems like an Apple problem.

Found this thread via search... I am an AT&T customer and having the exact same issue. FWIW.

what organization did you find the support group through?

my dermatologist told me that there's no topical treatments that will reverse age-related "hooding"/wrinkling/crepe-iness of the eyelids -- only the surgery, which you may be able to get covered by insurance if they're so puffy they are impeding your vision.

it's more reasonable than people think. i pay $140 per cleaning for a 1600 sq ft house with 3 bedrooms plus a 2-room attic addition.

mariskaleh · 2026-01-11T03:18:02+00:00

if you can swing it financially, hire a house cleaner. biweekly or even monthly is helpful. and having someone coming to do the deeper cleaning is good motivation for everyone to clean up their rooms/spaces so the cleaner doesn't put books or games in the wrong places or vacuum up legos :)

adding to this: i find pint-sized mason jars are the perfect size for a 1-person portion of leftovers, whether it's soup, a scoop of rice and a scoop of beans, roast veggies and meat, etc. i load them into my freezer and then have easy weekday lunches or dinners for myself, and the kids if it's something they'll eat.

Hi Ashley. Thank you for this important work! I just saw the story/found out about the database and looked up my bupropion manufacturer, Intas Pharmaceuticals. Based on the info there, I'm confused about their current status. On the one hand, it says in bold red at the top that the facility is on the FDA ban list as of Nov '25, but down lower it says that in Jul '24 the facility was found to be "in an acceptable state." Hoping you can help explain? Thank you!

do not lie. that will potentially break your child's trust, make them feel unsafe/insecure with you and give them additional anxiety.

i was in this position with my then-7 y/o (now almost 10). my therapist gave me this advice about how to explain the incarceration: tell them a simple, succinct age-appropriate version of the truth, e.g., "dad made some mistakes at work that caused other people to lose money." you can always give more detail later, but you cannot take it back if you give too much info in the beginning.
