There’s a difference between “I thought I was infertile” and “I literally don’t have my uterus and ovaries”. In these situations it comes off as patronizing because there’s “no way” a woman who doesn’t have her reproductive organs knows what she’s talking about. It’s one of those things that adds to the massive pile of medical mistreatment of women, and that’s why it’s a touchy topic for many.
Pregnancy test for MRI? I had one early this year (I hated it) and I certainly did not have to take a pregnancy test. Or do you mean pregnancy test in general? Because that one pisses the fuck out of women who absolutely 100% know they aren’t pregnant (haven’t had sex, don’t have their reproductive organs anymore, other possible reasons).
It’s an extremely dumb mentality. In my country (mostly countryside) people just get rid of the puppies and kittens in awful ways. Put them in a bag and throw them in the river, strangle them, give them to vets to put them down or what my late neighbor did bury them alive right after they’re born. It’s sickening.
Yeah, many people have chronic illnesses that either cause pain or drain energy, and it becomes hard or impossible to remain active and pain-free. Ever since developing mine in late 20s, I’m far less judgemental and more understanding of people’s situations.
Yep. I lived in a 35m² apartment where bedroom, office, living and dining room were one room because there was no space to separate them. Kitchen was in a separate, small room, but had no door, so technically it was all one room. There was just not enough space to add walls. However, knocking down every wall possible to join your bedroom with the rest… No. In that case, I’d at least place a divider of some sort.
A cousin of mine lived in a 50-60m² place, knocked all the walls down except for bathroom. That means their kitchen, dining and living rooms, and bedroom were all in the same room. Okay, the place looked more spacious, but it was literally form over function through and through. Not my cup of tea.
It’s a stereotype for a reason, though. I’ve had many cats, and at one point we had a mom with three of her children. Mom and one of the children were “affectionate” only when they wanted to eat, otherwise, they’d go hide somewhere to be left alone. They did like to sleep in the same bed as us for warmth, but that’s about it. Only one of the 4 liked (likes) to cuddle and be pet and spend time with us. So out of these 4 cats from the same family, 2 didn’t want much to do with us, one was okay and spent time around us, and one was/is very affectionate. We didn’t treat them any differently, it was just their temperaments 🤷
That’s nice. Corporate told us we’d need to do overtime every week to justify them employing another person. Our department leader told us to please do it. I just continue to do my contract hours and silently judge them for working too much, knowing their family isn’t happy about it. Instead of unionising and pushing for raises and shorter work hours, they’re letting the company treat them like slaves. I guess they all enjoy wasting their single life kissing the boot?
Many people rent them out. I know because I’ve met several people who use the service for their vacations every year. It’s quite popular, and sometimes comes cheaper than to actually rent an airbnb or a hotel room when split between multiple people.
Replied to the comment under yours instead of to you, so check that out. But the person who replied to you pointed out a few of the problems.
I’m not sure if this is the exact study I read, but it’s at least very similar. I’ve also seen tourists disposing of their waste and garbage directly into the sea.
The reality is even the small ones aren’t good for sea life. They’re destroying the sea floor and it’s quite detrimental to the ecosystem.
It’s kind of funny how none of you decided to just… search it up 😆 Futari = two people; futanari = two + shape; futa = two, second. This is what happens when people learn Japanese from hentai anime (I did too back in the day), lmao.
European here. I thought the sarcasm was pretty obvious. Europeans online will often take any opportunity to dunk on USA, even if it’s an obvious mockery/joke. It’s a bit weird, lol.
When I dream my late dog who passed unexpectedly, it’s often very distressing, because I somehow know she will leave me again and I need to protect her. I usually end up crying in sleep.
