Yeah, that alone makes having a sex and sexuality board a bit iffy. I was never on the board so I have no idea how spicy things got over there, but even having a discussion about sex with someone that young is a good way to end up on a watch list.

Even if you can get a doctor that is willing to do it, you would probably have a hard time getting insurance to cover a hysterectomy solely for reproductive reasons since there are less expensive alternatives. They are cheaper and less invasive than they used to be now that they are laproscopic, but it is still removing an entire organ.

I don't think it is anything to worry about, most cookies have some sort of expiration date so you are eventually required to log back in again. Since you were able to sign back in it shouldn't be an issue, although you can always change your password if you are concerned.

FrozenBananas posted...
Noticed that the rubber tip from my ear bud was missing. A few days later, I was cleaning my ears and it felt like something was blocking my hearing.

I originally didnt think it was the rubber tip (I thought it fell on the floor somewhere) But now I can barely hear out of my left ear. It doesnt hurt at all, just feels like I got water stuck in my ear, except its been like this for 3+ days

im thinking of calling the minute clinic 5 mins from my house, but I dunno if I should just go to the ER instead. I have a feeling (a hope) that the clinic down the street could probably just pull it out easily
I would do the clinic first rather than the ER, they should be able to deal with it, it should be cheaper and you aren't taking up ER resources for something non-life threatening.

Part of it's paranoia over getting sued if the woman changes her mind later, but it's mostly just the attitude that all women should want kids and that anyone who says they won't will likely end up changing their mind later, so the doctor believes they're doing the woman a favour by refusing to do it. It's a very sexist, paternalistic way to practice medicine, but it's still very common.
When my wife was trying to get her's done it was before we were married or even engaged and they kept trying to convince her I should get a vasectomy instead since it is more easily reversible. She was like 'He can get one if he wants but it doesn't change the fact that I want my tubes tied."

I'm betting this will be a landslide in favor of Winchester. Frank Burns just had no redeeming qualities so he came off more as a parody than an actual person. Winchester had his issues, but his relationship ends up being more of an Odd Couple scenario rather than being truly adversarial and he is given some redeeming moments to make him seem more human.

The correct answer is still cynical, it is cheaper for them than paying for pregnancy related care.

Most of the places around here stopped being open 24 hours even before the pandemic. It might have made sense when there was one grocery store open late, because they'd at least get all the late night traffic, but once all of the other stores followed nobody was going to get enough business to make it cost effective to stay open.

Surely, the author of this comment means "overestimating"? If one is underestimating the speed with which current users would quit G-Mail once given the opportunity, then that is equivalent to saying that those users would take a long time to wean off the e-mail platform. If one is overestimating the speed in question, then one would believe that those users would quit using G-Mail in a heartbeat in order to subscribe to this new and 'revolutionary' Elon-Mail platform.
I think the author of the comment said exactly what he meant. The article implies that people would be reluctant to leave Gmail for Xmail and the commenter is suggesting that many people would be happy to flee gmail. Which is odd because it isn't like there aren't other email services already available and most of the issues that people have with Gmail would likely exist with Musk's service as well.

Musk would probably force Tesla owners to use it and I can see him integrating it to Twitter as well to pad the number of 'active' users.
