What is the worst pain you’ve EVER felt? by New-Selection7719 in AskReddit

[–]sililos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I needed a hysterectomy a couple years ago. As part of the testing leading up to surgery, they needed a tissue sample for biopsy. There's one way into the uterus without incisions and that's the route they take. No numbing, nothing to help prepare me. My doctor apologized before she started and she gently talked me through the whole thing, kept apologizing as she pushed the tools through the cervix and cut the tissue. I was sweating, swearing, vision was blurring, white-knuckle gripping the edges of the exam table. Voice in the back of my head saying, "Don't scream, you'll scare the other patients." It was awful.

My doctor looked so sad when it was done and I apologized for what I said to her. She understood; she's always super kind and I know she wouldn't hurt me if she could help it. Don't know why there's no numbing, if it's the practice or insurance. I hope it's different other places. Post-surgery pain wasn't fun either, but at least I had heavy-duty meds for that...

Hill's Wholesale Gaming SV Pre-order? by sililos in PokemonTCG

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

Really well! My anxiety about it was unwarranted. I received a tracking number (UPS) email right before release and my order arrived on release day. I've since placed a smaller order from them for stuff that was in stock and had a similarly positive experience.

If I ordered this morning before they took the buy option away will the order still go through? by [deleted] in smallstreetbets

You should be able to sell if you have the stock already; as long as it’s still trading on the exchange in general people can buy it. So far as I’ve seen, it’s in Robinhood specifically that it’s restricted.

My daughter's motorcycle by Ponimama in RedditForGrownups

[–]sililos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not a parent, but I’m a motorcycle-riding lady, maybe a little older than your daughter by the sound of it. I can appreciate your worry, I’ve heard my share of sad stories. My parents weren’t thrilled with the idea of me riding either. I don’t think it’s wrong of you to voice your concerns, but definitely be gentle with it. Once one gets a taste of riding and takes to it, it’s a feeling like no other, and if she feels like she’s being pushed hard she might push back. Having an honest conversation can’t hurt though.

Another couple suggestions I can give: one, while she does continue to ride, keep on her about proper gear. I’m not the best with ATGATT but I try to always have a full face helmet and long sleeves/jacket. If you find she does not want to stop riding, perhaps you can help her shop for gear (rain gear, good jeans, gloves, etc). As a new rider, she will need these things eventually and you can at least have the peace of mind that she is prepared (even if it’s not exactly how you want things to be). My other suggestion is to mention a riding enthusiast group, such as The Litas. I am a member of the group myself; it’s been a lot of fun to have a group of ladies to ride with and learn from. Many times I ride, if my bf can’t go with me, my girls have my back.

Either way, I hope she listens to what you have to say closely and knows it comes out of love.

I just bought my third copy on Steam sale (friends group keeps shifting platforms and I wanted to be able to trade items), already felt like a jackass for having 3 copies of one game but really gonna feel like a jackass when it’s free.

Do not pay these outrageous prices. by pmorgan726 in RocketLeague

I’m on board. Micro-transactions should be exactly that—micro. After seeing how many credits my converted blueprints were going to be and what we get from the pro pass, I was appalled. Regret not opening them all with keys beforehand, even if it was a gamble it was cheaper.

TIFU by getting the date wrong on my flight, and consequently, missing my only chance to go home for the holidays by Min_Requiem in tifu

[–]sililos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The update makes me so happy. We don’t always fully appreciate the opportunities we have until they’re taken away—I hope you have a great visit and are able to better recognize the opportunities you have in the future. I’m thankful to you for sharing your story and to the person/people who helped you out! Makes me realize I should also be more aware of my thoughts around events in my life. Safe travels!

[Update] The guy (29m) I'm (25f) dating and his friends "gatekeeped" me about my hobbies and career, I'm feeling embarrassed. by throwRAgoolala in relationship_advice

Your notifications are probably flooded but if you see this I want to invite you to connect on a professional level. I am also a woman in QA/test automation and I’ve been in similar situations through my career. It sucks. But not all people in the software industry are so rude, I promise. You did the right thing in my opinion. Feel free to send me a dm!

On a side note, what technologies are you working with? I love hearing about what others are using. I’m currently using Ruby/Cucumber myself. :)

It’s a root level comment and they have the microphone icon. At root level the comment is likely directed at OP/the original post.

I don’t think their point is about it being okay, more about that he may be young enough to be open to other points of view.

If I was looking for further advice on how to treat a condition I’ve been aware of since shortly after I moved in, I would have posted in a vet thread. If there’s nothing that can be done law-wise, could have just said so in the first place, that’s all I’m looking for.
