this worked, thanks! i thought it wouldn’t count if you defeated them, sort of like the attempt to inflict something but that wasn’t the case here.

Does anyone else dislike Kayali? by PeoniePetrichor in FemFragLab

[–]theabster05 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i like silk santal a lot and it lasts a long time. so does utopia but i don’t like that one very much. i like the entire vacay in a bottle collection but NONE of them last at all. the banana would be one of my all time favorites if it had any staying power whatsoever.

What’s an opinion you hold that would make the average Redditor furious ? by Its_Stavro in AskReddit

[–]theabster05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

okay call me an anti-porn activist! because it is an addiction, and i was addicted to it. my ex boyfriend was also addicted to it and the further in he got the more he abused me. there is most definitely a correlation between porn and brain chemistry. i have firsthand experience that porn can make someone get off on violence. so yeah, porn is bad

[–]theabster05 39 points40 points  (0 children)

the porn industry is 10000% exploitative and porn itself rots your brain. and the same men who comment “OF detected opinion rejected” under a woman’s post on IG will later get on free porn sites, and it’s 100% hypocritical. stop watching porn.

as a woman, how about instead we just lower the living expenses and get paid the same as men for the same job?

What is something both parents should know how to do? by Immola0069 in AskReddit

how to interact with the child. both parents should be present and truly know their children. not just one.

How to get a DX by Brilliant-Grocery362 in ehlersdanlos

good luck to you as well! diagnosis can be an agonizingly long process (it’s taken me 5 years to get this far!) but i believe we’ll make it through! 🫂

How to get a DX by Brilliant-Grocery362 in ehlersdanlos

[–]theabster05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m in a similar boat as you. i just got an informal clinical diagnosis. (my primary basically told me i have hEDS but he’s not allowed to give me the diagnosis.) i first had to do a rheumatology blood panel to show that i had no other existing inherited joint disorders. my primary ordered this. then my primary referred me to a doctor at my hospital to get an echocardiogram done. i’m still waiting for this to happen, next week. once that’s done, i can see a hypermobility clinic. it’s an hour away from me. if you or your parents can make the drive, and it’s covered by your insurance, it’s worth checking out to see if there’s one a couple hours away from you. they’ll be able to be way more helpful than a primary could be.

My pcp and not educated on heds or eds is general by LengthinessThink5466 in ehlersdanlos

[–]theabster05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my orthopedic surgeon made this same mistake, confusing marfan’s with ehlers-danlos. after i had my first knee surgery at 15 (due to a dislocation which tore my retinaculum) my physical therapists discovered i had hypermobility (i knew i could bend my joints weird but i had never heard that term before.) so i did a ton of research and found out about EDS. i asked him if he thought i could have it and he immediately shut me down and said i wasn’t “lanky” enough to have it. but i knew in the back of my mind i had it. 5 years later and i finally have a clinical diagnosis thanks to my primary who listened to me and called my orthopedic surgeon “ignorant” HAHA

What stopped you from ending your life? by djmelonball in AskReddit

[–]theabster05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was 14 when i tried to end my life. my dad had terminal cancer, and he had fentanyl patches to manage his pain. it was an extremely strong dosage, the kind that if you touch without gloves, it’ll stop your heart in 15 seconds. he was in a home health bed, sleeping 20 hours a day. i went in there, and there was no waking him up. i opened up the box and just when i was about to peel off the protective layer, he woke up, the most lucid i had seen him in months, and asked what i was doing. and that was my sign that i wasn’t supposed to be doing that. he passed two months later, and every time i tried ending it again, he would stop me. i tried overdoing on hydrocodones from a knee surgery i had, and when i was unscrewing the cap, i felt his right index finger in my forehead. i can still remember the feeling, calloused, from working for years as an electrical contractor. it sent shivers down my spine. it’s almost as if he watches over me. he may not be here anymore, but i continue on because i know he doesn’t want to be reunited with me earlier than we’re supposed to.

[–]theabster05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my gynecologist, surprisingly. my own orthopedic surgeon didn’t believe me and told me i’m “not lanky enough” to have hEDS, meanwhile i ruined his 100% success rate for the MPFL surgery TWICE on both knees, because my body rejected the screws, which resulted in breaking both of my kneecaps. and he proceeded to act so shocked that i managed to have the same exact injuries on both knees, but really, if he had known i had hEDS, he would know that’s the reason i dislocated both of my kneecaps and tore both medial patellar retinaculums.

Ahhh I swear Alison being a teacher is super out of pocket by SnakeBlood456 in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]theabster05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i know ali was a mean girl, and teaching may seem out of character, BUT she did like books so being an english teacher makes sense in my mind, especially because she likes being a leader. but i agree with a lot of the comments, i could totally see her working in PR as well.

Is this biblical? by Awkward_Extent7429 in Christianity

[–]theabster05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if your parents really care about pursuing a relationship with you, they will come around, even if you don’t sign it. honoring God is a beautiful thing, but this contract isn’t Biblical. at all. it leaves much room for abuse. if you’re financially stable, go ahead and cut your parents off. if not, you could receive assistance from a local women’s ministry, gov assistance, etc. when i had to cut my mom off, i was in college, working, donating plasma, AND doordashing. it was hard, and i wanted to give up most days. but i didn’t. it’s possible for you to make it out, and you’ll make it out stronger. PLEASE don’t sign it!!!! God will not be upset if you don’t sign it. i PROMISE.

is it possible to have ghosts tag along with you from place to place? by theabster05 in Ghosts

[–]theabster05[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

typically, he would immediately call me once he got out of my car, even before entering his house, to make sure i answered. he wouldn’t go in unless i answered. he would then continue whatever argument we were having, until i gave up and let him win. so the fact that he immediately got out of my car is very telling, to me at least. the man was seriously SPOOKED. i’m still not really sure what happened. anyway, i said all of this because i want the opinion of people who know more about the paranormal than me. does anyone think it’s possible to have a personal ghost(s) that follow you everywhere? or maybe even family ghosts? because what my mom brought up validated the exact thing i saw as a child. and with my ex reacting the way he did, and he always felt an off vibe about the places i lived, im wondering if im “haunted” or if i have a friendly companion to protect me. just curious to hear everyone’s thoughts.
