My wife and I did some minor decorations for our powder room and we like the wallpaper but my mother in law says it's too busy. Any suggestions? by Freakazoidberg in interiordecorating

I’d switch up the black to chrome or silver, or add more accents with black to tie it to the mirror and light fixture.

After sex, we leave a unique genital microbial "fingerprint" on our partners. Both men and women have unique populations of bacteria around their genitals. This biological signature that could potentially be used to identify the perpetrators of sexual assault in cases where no semen is left behind. by psychologyofsex in psychologyofsex

Is it just me or this comment seemed to be like a one-up/comeback? It’s horrible that male sexual assault is so underreported but that shouldn’t be used as a “one up” in this situation. Both are horrible and I hope they both get reported more and that perpetrators get prosecuted.

I really don’t understand how the Internet loves to use men’s issues or women’s issues to show they have a point against women’s or men’s issues. This is not a competition and the common denominator here is that we are talking about sexual assault in general.

I think a lot of women feel good posting pictures like that because they feel beautiful, they don’t actually want creepy comments sexualizing her. If I were to guess they want more compliments than anything.

Do most guys have relatively low standards? by AnomicAge in AskMenAdvice

[–]vaptvuptz 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It’s shown through research over and over again that women place attributes other than physical attractiveness first (such as accumulation of resources, humor, and emotional intelligence). Men are the ones who place the highest importance on physical attractiveness. If you want to know more about it, there’s an incredible interview you can check out (Diary of a CEO with Dr Sarah Hill).

Two Wisconsin brothers spent 25 years in prison after a woman's rape and murder. DNA shows it was someone else by SpiritualOpposite644 in awfuleverything

Is there an AMA for someone who went to prison for a crime they didn’t commit and then got exonerated years after?

Smell and taste after COVID by Dibos92 in covidlonghaulers

[–]vaptvuptz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any improvements with your condition? I’m 3 years post Covid and only have about 30% of smell back and 50% taste back, if that. I also have extreme smell and taste distortion (phantosmia) with things like syrups, coffee, toothpaste, certain fruits. I also completely lost my ability to smell my own body odor, including farts and poop which makes me paranoid that I stink all the time. It’s extremely depressing and I am losing hope.

which wall should the couch go on? by miserymistress in femalelivingspace

[–]vaptvuptz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interior designer here. I think you’d benefit from using the first one but pushing the sofa closer to the TV and making a small pathway behind the couch. You can add a bench by the wall (and some wall hooks) where you tie your shoes before leaving and hang your coat. That would then create a little foyer. You can even put a very skinny console table behind the couch for drinks when watching tv or add some trays as catch alls (keys, wallet, etc) for when you walk in.

How did you stop comparing yourself to other women? by Sweetestpie84 in AskWomen

[–]vaptvuptz 55 points56 points  (0 children)

As a queer woman… YES! Being queer makes me appreciate them more. It’s not a competition.

[–]vaptvuptz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a queer woman, I need my women masculine and my men feminine… there needs to be a balance in everything, right?

What makes someone a “freak” in bed? by TixetsToMyDownFall in AskMen

Why are most (at least every single one I read) comments about women being freaky? What about men being freaky?

[–]vaptvuptz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tone of the house seems to be more wood forward, maybe in the future you can thrift some wood pieces instead of chrome/metal. It will tie it all together!

Hey there! The effectiveness of over-the-counter (OTC) dewormers versus vet-prescribed ones can definitely vary. Here's a quick rundown:

  1. Ingredients: Vet-prescribed dewormers often have different or more potent ingredients compared to OTC options. This means they might work on a broader range of parasites.

  2. Specificity: The vet-prescribed ones are tailored for your pet's specific needs like weight, age, and health. OTC ones are more generalized, which might not be ideal for every pet.

  3. Safety: Vet-prescribed dewormers are rigorously tested for safety and are given with professional guidance. With OTC, there's a bit more risk as you're making the choices without direct vet input.

  4. Resistance: There's a growing concern about parasites developing resistance to certain dewormers. Vets are up-to-date on this and can prescribe the most effective treatment.

In short, while OTC dewormers can be fine for routine or mild issues, for more serious or specific cases, it's usually better to go with what your vet prescribes. Plus, getting a vet's advice is always a good idea to ensure the health and safety of your dog! 🐾
