ME TOO! Yeah, it honestly doesn’t look real.

Interesting, after Googling, it looks like both Weetabix and Weetbix are a thing. It was started in Australia as Weetbix and eventually expanded internationally with a factory in England. They renamed it Weetabix to differentiate the product from that sold in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.

An interesting internet rabbit hole I didn’t expect to go down today, ha! My English grandparents often ate Weetabix, and when you said it was Australian, I didn’t believe you (and had a typo lol.) Turns out it’s both. I’d assumed Brits must have introduced it over there, but it’s the opposite.

Thank you for sharing this! I didn’t know this was an option - I was planning to bring it up with my psych at our next appointment. I’ll look into reporting my experience.

WOAAAHHH.

After being unable to source my Adderall for months I finally got it refilled. The same dose I’ve been taking for 20+ years. For some reason my body could not handle it, I was getting headaches and my pulse was racing and I was anxious. Which didn’t make sense because I’ve previously had years without taking it and did not see these issues ever before (but I’m older now? Idk)

Anyway I asked for a dose change and we decreased by 5mg. Been better since.

Just looked at my bottle and the stuff I couldn’t handle is made by Granules. 😮

Thanks for elaborating! I guess I’m too detached from the TERF content this is imitating to have caught the joke.

No you’re right, it would be “lip fillers,” not Botox.

But OP was too focused on attacking the appearance of a woman, without considering subject matter accuracy or whether it was fair to do so. 🙄

Not in any way defending terfs, however: lightening your hair is NOT cheap and just because your roots are showing (natural color is growing out) doesn’t mean you had a cheap service done. It just means it’s time for another one.

Regardless, we shouldn’t be attacking people for their physical appearance, even if they’re terrible people. Being pretty is not the rent women pay to exist in the world, and failing to live up to your standards of beauty is not a moral failing. That includes hair and makeup and body modification (Botox, piercings, tattoos) choices.

Edit: also Botox ≠ lip filler. (Sorry I can’t help myself lol)

100% this. Biking is such a game changer. I’ve never enjoyed any physical fitness effort as much as I enjoy biking. Running hurts too much for me to enjoy it but point is, doing something outside with changing scenery keeps me in the zone. Plus if I ride out 10 miles and get bored, I have to ride 10 miles back home.

I’d also recommend group fitness classes. If there’s an instructor telling me what to do, rather than me trying to self-motivate, I work out much more effectively and enjoy it more.

Thanks for digging this up. I was picturing inline skating or ice skating and was a bit confused (i.e. roller derby is predominantly a women’s sport, to my knowledge anyway.) But I can definitely see skate boarding as a male-dominated sport. And historically, male dominated sports/spaces/hobbies haven’t been welcoming and accepting of feminist values.

Ooooh thank you. The video game plot point gives necessary context for the character’s name.

Yeah this one just made me feel sorry for the poor cat. Hopefully it was an accident or just the cat being a dingus…

So you also use a semicolon if you are separating a list and the list includes phrases separated by commas. For example:

My favorite things are lions, tigers, and bears; sugar, spice, and everything nice; and the ol’ red, white, and blue.

I came up with that in thirty seconds so admittedly it’s a bit nonsensical, but there are valid reasons to structure a sentence this way and a semicolon is the only thing helping those independent phrases stay separate and thus help the sentence make sense.

That said, I love semicolons in general; I use them for fun and for variety. They are useful for slightly adjusting the pacing of written communication, since the reader won’t treat them exactly the same as a full stop.

If it was actually useful… People would learn it organically and not need it to be explained.

People don’t learn how to read and write “organically;” you need instruction. Learning how to use punctuation is a part of that instruction. You learned how to use a comma or a period way back in elementary school, you just don’t remember specifically learning it. And a semicolon is a perfectly useful piece of punctuation.

Ooooh like Transylvania. That took me a minute 😅

So when you do a French braid in hair, you start off with three small sections. Every time you fold over the outer sections, you incorporate more hair into those sections. This differs from a normal braid, which doesn’t increase the size of the three parts of the braid as you go along.

French braiding flesh would require a lot more flesh. Also it wouldn’t look nearly as tidy because the other ends of the flesh (those not in the braid) are not attached to anything (i.e. a scalp) so it would be a loose tangled mess.

There’s easier ways to make something grotesque and cursed.

Gatekeeping the evolution of language: the type of internet comment everyone loves the most.

(This comment is sarcasm. Your gatekeeping adds nothing of value to the conversation.)

If you're in the US, see if you can get into "Nancy's Nook Endometriosis Education" Facebook group. I don't normally recommend Facebook but I was pointed to this group from Reddit originally. Not only will you find a community of people experiencing similar things as you, they also have a list of endo-educated doctors in the US.

Yeah, don't tell us what to do!

When my vitamin D levels were tested low, the doc told me to take 2,000 IBU daily.

~7000/day seems quite high to me. But I'm not a doctor.

I would consider if the cost of purchasing all this vitamin D - a lot of of which your body may be excreting rather than absorbing - is a worthwhile financial investment in your health. I don't know anything about you, maybe it is.
