The "not your husband" comment just screams human trafficking to me. I know that's probably not what she was going for but if I ever heard that I'd be shoving and running the fuck away too.

I don't think it exists where I live anymore. There used to be one in a mall when I was in high school ~20 years ago. I think I bought curly fries from them once.

Oh thank you, I've never seen that but it seems like a good idea. We currently split the treats anyway and kind of treat them like play-doh.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome. Essentially, my uterus started making little cysts for fun and also my testosterone went way tf up and bad things that accompany high testosterone happened so I didn't have my period for six months. The male doctor said "oh you're just pregnant, get some bloodwork to confirm, and also you need to start taking prenatal vitamins" despite the fact that I had taken multiple pregnancy tests that were negative and hadn't had unprotected sex in that time period.

Fun fact: PCOS affects an estimated 6–13% of women of reproductive age, and up to 70% of cases are undiagnosed. (WHO)

These don't work for me at all. Pill pockets on the other hand? Lifesavers.

Graphic of 3 pet treats, one which has a pill inside and another pill in front of the treats

For some reason my cat only likes the ones thst are for dogs though.

I think whether or not you know someone, what OP did was probably the best decision. Unless you're like extemely well trained and have a weapon, you most likely wouldn't be of any help inside the store in this situation. Just get out and call for help (even though acab).

Boost also has this feature! I tagged that commenter as 'dumdum illiterate'

I had a female doctor who loved to tell me I was too young to be experiencing the things I was experiencing. Like I had neck pain from an incident at work (which has been ongoing for like 10 years now) and she said "oh young people just look at their phones too much". I also had a reaction to a piercing and she was insistent that the problem was "piercings and tattoos are bad for you", yet when I swapped the ring out for a hypoallergenic one (no thanks to anything she had to say to me), it cleared up extremely quickly.

But anyway, she was at least able to diagnose my PCOS, which a male doctor had prematurely diagnosed as "pregnant" so that was nice.

I feel like most bike related crashes (not involving cars) are damage to the individual and not to property. Maybe to their bike, or minor damage elsewhere. If that's the case I would imagine medical insurance would be enough. I guess there are some really fancy bikes you might want to insure but you're right it's prob not worth the admin cost for even a 2 or 3k bike.

Also coyote!

I'm actually trying to learn Nahuatl now, it's awesome how many words we have in Spanish (and a few in English) that come from the language.

My Philips electric toothbrush finally died last night and I'm looking for a replacement.

I found a brand called vearthy that sells a bamboo electric toothbrush that is supposedly compatible with Philips heads, which is great because my partner still uses that one and we have a ton of compatible heads. However, I can't really find any reliable reviews for it.

Has anyone ever purchased vearthy or have any other recommendations for a good electric toothbrush that's Canadian, or at the very least not American? (Bonus if I can purchase it from somewhere that's not one of the big grocers)

Thanks!

Edit: in case anyone runs into this post later. I ended up buying the vearthy toothbrush. It's very lightweight and works well so far. Has multiple settings which I wasn't expecting. I did not like the toothbrush heads it came with (they are very soft and a little small for my taste) but since its compatible with Philips I just swapped it for one of the other heads I had. Overall pretty good purchase I think.

 

When I go to people's houses, their toilet paper area never seems to have as much of that goddamn dust all over the place. Is it my toilet paper? I swear even when I clean, there's a film of that stuff that comes up all over the toilet and behind the toilet. Am I doing something wrong?

Edit: I have a bidet. You still need to dry your ass and vulva with a bidet. Guests still want toilet paper. Now I'm more concerned - do y'all not have toilet paper just because you have a bidet?? It's not safe to leave your ass moist!

Sounds like it's a brand issue though but my partner is unwilling to switch from the ultra soft whatever we have so I guess I'm SOL.
