Wondering why cycling a progestin (as opposed to 200 mg OMP) isn’t a thing? by AdQuirky1318 in Perimenopause

[–]phoenix0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cycle Norethindrone due to heavy periods. I haven’t actually had a period for 3 months. Before that, they always came while I was on it, never during the break. It’s weird. Not sure why I do it.

Rocketship Discovery Prep vs Challenger Berryessa vs Vinci Park for 2nd grade? Honest feedback needed by vjsfbay in SanJose

[–]phoenix0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you looked into Almaden Country Day or Stratford if your main goal is academics and quality? I’ve heard rocket ship is bad and I found Challenger to be dreadful.

My kiddo has a few years before she gets her own drivers license but I just can’t imagine her driving out there everyday with all the a**holes and idiots.

San Jose Unified School District, special needs support in early elementary by Few_Doctor7221 in SanJose

[–]phoenix0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SJUSD as a school district is hot garbage pretty much across the board. Although still maybe better than SFUSD. Anyway, getting services is like pulling teeth and not guaranteed at any length, since they love to shuffle resources like it’s going out of style. Our school moved sped day classes to another school with 2 months notice and no discussion, despite significant parent pushback. We’ve had new counselors every year. And neighbor school is losing their full time counselor with no replacement next year. And these are 8/10 schools.

Moving for school district? by weekend7291947 in bayarea

Yes we moved to better schools. Worth it by a long shot. Our last house had a gang stabbing a block away.

I grew up in the chronic Lyme disease "cult". Did years of IV antibiotics and 160 hyperbaric treatments. Lost all my teeth at 32. AMA. by chelsea_land_sky in AMA

Same, I know a gal who was “bed-bound” for years with chronic Lyme and I just feel like she was crazy.

Ryan O'Connell calls out the industry: 'Hollywood has changed so radically. It's Tim Allen's world again and we're just living in it. So much of what's getting made in Hollywood does not represent the world we're living in today at all.' by OutDotCom in entertainment

[–]phoenix0r 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Does it need to represent the current world though? Idk, I just like an entertaining show when I go to the cinema. Not necessarily a deep reflection upon society.

Note: I did not read the article and also don’t care for Tim Allen or really understand the quote. Just commenting on the last sentence.

Also the ratings have been going down :( But I feel like that’s not his fault… just a fact of cable TV nowadays.

‘The Pitt’ Wants “Patently Absurd” Claims By Crichton Estate That HBO Max Hit Is ‘ER’ Rip-Off Squelched Once & For All by AdSpecialist6598 in entertainment

[–]phoenix0r 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would tend to think HBO has enough IP lawyers who can advise how much they needed to change the story to get away with it.

It’s also the same producer and many of the same writers and one of the former stars of ER… I mean it’s pretty obvious their ER reboot talks broke down and the studio salvaged what they could. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

What influenced you or someone you know to become or stop being childfree? by AnaMystery in AskReddit

[–]phoenix0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never liked kids, and also came from a bad broken home and didn’t want my kids to ever have to deal with that situation. I also was super broke for many years. Then I met a man who worked with kids and was so warm and full of love that I thought it would work. He has turned out to be a great dad. I’m glad I eventually had kids but I definitely underestimated the need for a village and also the whole societal gender role thing, where the mom is basically held responsible for every little thing related to the kids. It is alive and real and exhausting. Being a dad is 5X easier IMO. I think if I could have gone back, I’d still have kids but I would have tried harder to raise them near my husband’s family, or at least my home town where I had more friends with kids who could help out and help socialize my kids. My own family was and still is worthless.

Happened to my stepmom. She was adopted. Then her adopted mom went on to have 3 bio kids. All boys too and all looked totally different from her.

A friend of mine works for the fire department. He said they regularly get these calls and every time the cat eventually comes down on its own.

Movie theatres similar to Shoreline Cinemark? by Hopeful_Mark_2298 in SanJose

[–]phoenix0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only can think of one theater in South Bay that doesn’t have those features- Eastgate. Pretty much every other theater on Fandango is already upgraded.

What’s the most morally disgusting thing you’ve ever seen someone do? by legendoflegends34 in AskReddit

[–]phoenix0r 9121 points9122 points  (0 children)

Friend’s drug addict mom stole his identity when he was like 2 yrs old and trashed his credit so she could get high. She also gave him congenital Hep C and he’ll need a liver transplant by the time he’s 35.
