Y word that describes a good person

Once in a blue moon redditors almost transform into self aware creatures. Almost. Submit posts (from anywhere) where people unknowingly describe themselves. ("what did they say about someone else that really applied to them?") NB: Memes aren't people, they can't be Selfawarewolves.

*Like when the food hella good, you say bone apple tea, it's like french or some shit.* A Bone Apple Tea is the mistaken use of a **real, dictionary-defined word or phrase** in place of another **real, dictionary-defined word or phrase** that sounds similar, resulting in a nonsensical, sometimes humorous utterance.

2024.05.17 00:15 IKnowNotWhatMore After 3 years of verbal, emotional and physical abuse, I [30/M] hacked my girlfriends [28/F] social media to reveal she has done everything she accused me of which justified her abuse.

Reposting this here on the amazing advice of /relationships mods! Hopefully y'all can give some insight =)
Since my GF monitors my old reddit activity even though I'm banned from using it.
So I am beyond emotion right now so long story short - my girlfriend and I met awkwardly but nothing terrible but when we met, I said I had a crush on a friend.
2 weeks later, my now girlfriend and I meet up as friends, I say how I was wrong about having a crush on the 'friend' and was just messed up in my head.
My girlfriend and i get together and within 3 weeks, she's gone through my facebook, twitter, reddit, instagram, whatsapp on my phone and because I liked a couple of inappropriate sexual jokes and followed a fair amount of women on instagram she just went off.
What followed was 2 years of abuse - verbal, emotional, physical. I ended up putting my head in a urinal because in one arguement, she convinced me I was a pedophile for following a 19 year old actor from a show I loved. I slashed my arm open leaving a big scar which I had to lie to everyone about. I've burst vessels in my eyes from crying so hard and admittedly have gotten a small big physical in defence of myself now. I hit her in the leg when she was kicking me and broke a few things in our home.
She has spent the last 2 months in bed recovering from a very bad illness and in that time, we've gone the longest we ever have without arguing or anything. It's been nice - cut to every fear, insecurity, issue I've had in our relationship which I've never been able to address due to her 'issues' taking priority
I hacked her. A lot. I read and read and read and finally learned how and hacked her, I have found out she actively wanted to fuck her landlord at time of meeting me. Talked about loving her arse being played with after accusing me of being non-consensual with her because I accidentally touched her bumhole once. Told me her body count (25) which I never gave a shit about, was so high due to her having a validation issue due to abuse when a kid - messages all her friends like "Made 24 last night" "Got to 25 last night" "I just love going out and fucking randoms right now". For 3 years has made me to be the creepy guy who wants any girl yet did nothing but talk to her friends about porn, sex, 'lesbian scenes' in films after accusing me of having a lesbian fetish. Being hyper sexual, super-thirsty with people yet has NEVER even made an effort with me. She went into great depth about not being able to satisfy an ex despite how much he did for her.
She has been on top of me once, given me head once, yet these guys she wanted to ride them, make them cum...
I spent these 2 months working on myself and my issues with her while I had some peace and now I just feel physically sick. I love her but the person I'm with isn't her, or at least doesn't feel like it. She didn't change overnight from all of the above to the woke, 'men are pigs who look at any woman', just perfect icon of wholesome innocent woman she portrayed.
Am I with a fake her? The real her she always wanted to be despite her past? Who am I in love with? The person I want her to be and she wants to be? or a lie?
The worst part is - I'd be with either. Her before or her now. But the years of abuse make me sick. I don't know if I can be with either of them after what she put me through. I don't want revenge or anything, I'm not the "well I get to cheat" type guy. I don't know how she can make up for this. If she did everything she did for these other men in the past then it'd feel fake.
Sorry for the wall of text y'all. Overall I just need to hear opinions because I haven't been allowed friends for 2 years so...
*Also since originally posting this on /relationships - I've since discovered the boyfriend that first cheated on her which "caused her crazy insecurity and trust issues" - she fucking cheated on first lmao. With her friend whom she then proceeded to chat with with about her ex...
TL:DR, My girlfriend has abused me physically, verbally, emotionally for 3 years due to accusations of things that, upon hacking her social media, she actually did in our relationship.

2024.05.17 00:14 Hannahcuzi Please help me search for this one song

I had it in my head my entire workshift but as soon as I was in the car I couldn’t remember the song. I think it was a Kanye west song and it had a line where he said something in the lines of “everybody be like okay, kanye/ye”. It’s such a vague memory for me but it can mostly remember him rhyming his name or a nickname of his with the word “okay”. Also good change this isn’t even a Kanye song, maybe it was Kendrick Lamar. I’m sorry if this is really vague just please if you know any song where the artist rhymes the word “okay” or something like that with his own name then pls let me know. I’m going insane!!’nnn

2024.05.17 00:14 BusyHistorian2873 Do bad people write better villains?

I saw a video on tiktok the other day about IHNMAIMS and the premise was that bad people write better villains, and given AM is considered one of the worst villains in literature, Harlan Ellison must be pretty bad (I may be reciting it wrong, and I'm not too familiar with Harlan Ellison yet so I don't know if he is considered a bad person or not). I just wanted to start a conversation to see what people's opinions on this were.
Personally, I don't think bad people write any better villains than good people. I don't think it's that simple (I also think that good and bad are wholly subjective and contextual terms, but when I say good and bad in this post, I'm referring to an objective good and bad). I commented that objectively good people can have bad thoughts, but bad people act upon them. Being able to imagine something such as AM says no more about the author than it does about those who can analyse and understand (and even resonate) with what AM is and the things that he does. You do not need to be evil to imagine it, to understand it.
If anybody has any opinions or just wants to add to the conversation I'd love to here other people's point if view. 🥰🥰

2024.05.17 00:14 Competitive_Fact6030 Breed recommendation

Introduction
1)Will this be your first dog? If not, what experience do you have owning/training dogs? * I have had family dogs all my life, but this would be my first one living on my own. I have reasonable experience with training and owning dogs. I also have a pretty good grasp on puppies as my mother has bred dogs (ugh, i know) 2)Do you have a preference for rescuing a dog vs. going through a [reputable breeder]( http://ownresponsibly.blogspot.com/2011/07/identifying-reputable-breeder.html)? * Likely going to adopt from someone who needs to rehome their dog. Alternatively a breeder. There arent really rescues in my country. I would like avoid adopting a puppy, and instead would prefer a 1-2 year old. 3)Describe your ideal dog. * A small/medium dog that is social and cuddly but not overly clingy (basically they just need to listen to the command "go away" soemtimes haha). Not extremely high energy, but still eager to play and maybe come with during runs. A mild temperament and easily trainable would be ideal. Good health condition is very important (a mutt is fine). No vocal breeds as I would live in an apartment. 4)What breeds or types of dogs are you interested in and why? * No particular breed in mind (that is kind of what i need help with lol). I do love setters since one of my family dogs is a Irish settegolden retriever mix and she is pretty much my ideal dog (although she does not do recall well, which is a concern). 5)What sorts of things would you like to train your dog to do? * Basic commands like sit, lie down, go away, etc. Recall would be a huge plus. Would need to be trainable to ignore/be calm around other dogs and stimuli on walks, and be able to walk nicely on a leash. 6) Do you want to compete with your dog in a sport (e.g. agility, obedience, rally) or use your dog for a form of work (e.g. hunting, herding, livestock guarding)? If so, how much experience do you have with this work/sport? * No. **Care Commitments** 7) How long do you want to devote to training, playing with, or otherwise interacting with your dog each day? * I'm away from home a maximum of about 6 hours a day, mostly way less. I'm a student and I spend a lot of time at home studying and doing other things, which means I do have time to be around the dog. 8) How long can you exercise your dog each day, on average? What sorts of exercise are you planning to give your dog regularly and does that include using a dog park? * I plan on doing shorter (~15 min) walks in the morning and at lunch time, and a longer walk in the evening. I would be able to visit a dog park/open area for running (when the dog has learnt recall) about twice a week. I do also run occasionally, and in the fall/spring im happy to take the dog with me. 9)How much regular brushing are you willing to do? Are you open to trimming hair, cleaning ears, or doing other grooming at home? If not, would you be willing to pay a professional to do it regularly? * Im happy to keep up with brushing weekly or so. Im comfortable bathing and trimming nails on my own. Im only interested in dogs with a "normal" coat that does not require frequent grooming visits. Im not willing to pay for the normal grooming fees like brushing, bathing, or trimming. **Personal Preferences** 10)What size dog are you looking for? * medium 15-40 lbs. A small is also acceptable depending on the breed, but i do prefer medium as they seem like the most athletic size and are able to go along on hikes and stuff. 11) How much shedding, barking, and slobber can you handle? * Preferably no barking as id live in an apartment. Shedding is fine as long as its not excessive as i am slightly allergic. No slobber. 12) How important is being able to let your dog off-leash in an unfenced area? * Relatively important. I do want to be able to let it run free for playtime, and hiking in the woods off leash would be great. So a dog with good impulse control that doesnt just run off the second it gets off leash would be great. **Dog Personality and Behavior** 13) Do you want a snuggly dog or one that prefers some personal space? * Somewhere in the middle. I do really enjoy cuddling with a dog and having them sleep in my bed, but i also dont want it to be too in your face. Basically just a dog that says hi then settles down with me instead of constantly seeking attention. 14) Would you prefer a dog that wants to do its own thing or one that’s more eager-to-please? * eager to please 15) How would you prefer your dog to respond to someone knocking on the door or entering your yard? How would you prefer your dog to greet strangers or visitors? * friendly to visitors 16) Are you willing to manage a dog that is aggressive to other dogs? * preferably no aggressive dogs. I would like to be able to safely let the dog be off leash without any fights. I'd rather not take the risk of my dog hurting another dog/person. 17) Are there any other behaviors you can’t deal with or want to avoid? * Poor recall. Also howling/barking when im not home. I would like to trust my dog to be relatively quiet when im not there. Destructive behaviour like chewing up furniture even as an adult would also be a big no. **Lifestyle** 18) How often and how long will the dog be left alone? * up to 6 hours a day. In the future that could be bumped up to 8-9, but I will always be close to home, so a quick walk during lunch would be possible. 19) What are the dog-related preferences of other people in the house and what will be their involvement in caring for the dog? * I live alone 20) Do you have other pets or are you planning on having other pets? What breed or type of animal are they? * Possibly going to get a cat in the future 21) Will the dog be interacting with children regularly? * no 22) Do you rent or plan to rent in the future? If applicable, what breed or weight restrictions are on your current lease? * I will rent a student apartment. There are no limitations on pets and there is no extra fee or cost to having one. 23) What city or country do you live in and are you aware of any laws banning certain breeds? * Sweden, no current breed restrictions but there is talk of banning certain bully breeds unfortunately. 24) What is the average temperature of a typical summer and winter day where you live? * Summer would be ~20 C (70 F), whilst winter averages around -20C (-4F). The hottest it gets is 30C (85), and the coldest is -30C (-22F). **Additional Information and Questions** 25) Please provide any additional information you feel may be relevant. 26) Feel free to ask any questions below.

2024.05.17 00:14 Local-Onion-5201 I think my mom has an affair and is cheating on dad and I don't know how to move forward with it

So I(19f) got very suspicious when mom was chatting with someone and I crept behind her. She was chatting with someone and most of the messages were deleted. She closed off everything frantically when she realized I'm behind her. I was super suspicious. After a while I asked her for her phone and noticed all the chats from that contact were deleted. She then later on proceeded to delete a lot of chats with her other friend which honestly felt like a cover up. I ask my mom for her phone to play games and she hesitated a bit. I noticed her chatting with that number multiple times. I had a suspicion about who could it be and I checked the contact number on a verification app. My suspicion turned out to be true. I was still a bit not sure so just now I went through the recycle bin of her gallery and found weird cheesy good morning text images and also a photo of the person(the photo was a casual photo of him working on his desk). All of this happened in a day. I don't know what to do. We are also on a vacation currently. We'll return home tomorrow.
Please help me with how do I move forward from here?

2024.05.17 00:14 grilledcheeseistight Looking for advice on ending a friendship

Lots of lore included, but theres also a TL;DR 😂 I have been friends with this person for several years now. I have been slowly trying to distance myself for them, but recently find it necessary to put an actual end to our friendship. Their passive aggression & self centeredness has been a problem for the entirety of our friendship. I feel as though we have all had those “friends” that make us feel as though we are walking on eggshells, or only talk about themselves and when you are able to get a word in edgewise, they bring the conversation back to themselves. I have tried to address their passive aggression in the past, attempting to dig deeper and open a line of honest/safe communication when they have clearly been upset about something. They essentially were unreceptive and blew me off. Honestly, due to their unhealthy communication habits, I’ve been hesitant to even broach the conversation of their tendency to dominate the conversation and not be curious about me or my life. When they talk about previous friendships that have ended, it’s because the friends had the same issues I’m currently grappling with. When they retell these happenings, they seem as though they aren’t practicing introspection and throw the blame on the other party. This further affirms my belief that trying to communicate these problems would be futile. There’s been a string of events recently that helped me realize this friendship is no longer worth repairing. I have known this friend for YEARS and I’m very familiar with the ins and outs of their life. A couple months ago, they asked me if my partner was in construction. They are in insurance 😂 I have been with them since BEFORE our friendship, and have always shared their careers wins and woes with them. It’s baffling they would forget something like that. About a week ago, they sent me a text that verbatim said “Omg. Wasn’t your old best friend that fucked you over ____ ? They’re married to one of my work besties and they were stranded off a highway so I picked them up. Wtf I like them??? What happened with you guys I can’t remember!!!” My relationship with the person they are referencing was extremely hurtful to me. I learned a lot about myself and friendships in general from that wound. We were both mutually toxic to each other. This incident was a major event in my life, as it inspired me to “do the work” both for myself, and others. The whole reason I met my friend is because I was putting myself out there after what I had experienced, so I know I have discussed this event with them at length. Most recently, this passive aggression and vindication is affecting my family. Their job includes interacting with the public, and they have taken it upon themselves to be extremely petty and unkind to a family member of mine because of an interaction that left them with a sour taste in their mouth. These series of events have assured me that severing ties with this friend is the best route for everyone involved. I expect them to try and contact me soon, as my family member filed a report against them. This is the response I have preemptively crafted: “At this point, I feel like it is in mine and my family’s best interest that we go our separate ways. There has been communication issues burdening our friendship for a long time now, and I don’t foresee them being resolved. I don’t wish you ill, and I hope you can pay the same consideration to me and my loved ones. “ I feel that they will most likely want to continue the conversation. My question is, would it be hurtful of me to not respond? I feel as though a “post mortem” of our friendship would not only open old wounds, but foster resentment for both of us. I do not feel as though it will truly benefit either of us to continue the conversation further afterwards, but I am wanting to hear other points of view before committing to this decision. I definitely do expect them to respond, as they have every right and reason to. I just want to know if it would be shitty of me to not offer further insight into my feelings/decision if that’s what they’re wanting?
TL;DR Passive aggressive friend with a tendency towards vindication has recently acted out a string of events that have not hurt only me, but my family as well. I’m wondering if it would be a crappy move to not respond after sending a singular message expressing my intention to end the friendship.

2024.05.17 00:14 ormaybemok My dad got approached by a magician(?)

Salam aleykum,
Today my dad told me a Pakistani man approached him and asked if he is overworked or doesnt sleep good. My dad nodded and said"who doesnt?" The pakistani then handed my dad a paper and asked to tell a number between 6-8. My dad said 7 and the man said that within 1 week there's going to happen something great in his life. The man then asked to tell a type of flower so my dad said a rose. The man asked to open the paper and on the paper was the number 7 and the word 'Rose' and the man asked if they could meet again soon. I immediately told him hes probably a sahir and to avoid him if he ever sees him again. What do you think, is this a sahir?

2024.05.17 00:13 DEL994 What are your favorite quotes or speeches from the EU ?

What are your personal favorite quotes and/or speeches spoken or written by characters from Star Wars EU, whose words marked you the most, or resonate the most within you because of their truth, philosophical interest or just because they are so amazing or funny ?
One speech that I love is Alto Stratus' speech, his first and most important one, to the Jabiimi Nationalists in Star Wars Republic: The Battle of Jabiim, his speech describing the frustration, grievances and rage of not only the people of Jabiim but also of the tens of thousands of other planets and species that joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems due to neglect or abuse by the Republic:
"Your planet-your home is being drowned in blood ! For three thousand years, we were loyal to the Republic. But did they send aid during the Brainrot Plague ? Did they send aid when the Trandoshans invaded ?! Where were the Jedi when the Lythian Pirates killed your parents and mine ? The Republic ignored our cries for help, until they learned that beneath all the mud lies a heart of ore ! Now they want to control the ore to prevent us from profiting with trade with the Confederacy of Independent Systems! We will let the Jedi Generals know that we will fight to be free ! We will fight to defend our planet ! We will send the Jedi home in caskets !"
What are your picks ?

2024.05.17 00:13 my_reticence Just figured out my AP type

I just joined Reddit and after a while of trying to figure out my Attitudinal Psyche type for fun—as well as for deeper self-insight and personal growth—I’ve come to realize that my AP type is FLEV (and same goes for Psychosophy).
But I have to say, it really feels surprisingly satisfying to figure out which AP type truly represents me. I kept mistyping as so many other types, and I just couldn’t fathom why I didn’t identify with the descriptions and placements. I kept consulting many other people online about this and my mind ended up getting all tangled while trying to crack the code, so to speak!
I guess I could write an essay’s worth of tidbits about the process I went through to arrive at my AP type, but I have a habit of talking for too long about all my ideas and personal discoveries, so I’ll leave the topic alone. Lol.
Just wanna say I really enjoy AP, as well as Psychosophy, so I’m glad to join this fun little community. Nice to meet y’all :)

2024.05.17 00:13 Cannie_Flippington New Research Suggests Additional Role for Allopregnanolone

New Hormone Discovery Explains Monogamy research first published in Nature 05/15/2024
Show of hands by who thinks this might be why we always want to abandon/break-up with our partners, move across the country and live as hobos, become feral women living in hollowed out trees, etc once a month.
Two mice, the deer mouse and the oldfield mouse, are closely related but diverge significantly in behavior (among other things). Deer mice are promiscuous, with one litter having as many as four fathers, where oldfield mice are monogamous. The FDA approves of allopregnanolone for the treatment of post-partum depression already and when (the oldfield mouse version is) given to deer mice they abruptly exhibit parental behavior compared to the completely uninterested control. Oldfield mice have adrenal glands (where the hormone is produced) comparatively six times larger than deer mice (adjusted for their overall size discrepancy).
Normally these glands are divided into three zones. But the scientists discovered that the adrenals of the monogamous mice possessed a fourth zone.
“We called this the zona inaudita, which is Latin for ‘previously unheard-of zone,’ because no one has ever observed this type of cell in another animal,” said Natalie Niepoth, PhD, a co-first author on the study who is now a senior scientist at Regeneron.
They've drawn an association between parenting behavior and the monogamy of the oldfield mice (deer mice aren't very parental).
This jives with our personal experience of our brains wanting to burn down our lives and become leaf-clad nomads living in our respective jungle-equivalent biome every month. Also from my personal experience PMDD makes it almost impossible to be perform even the bare minimum for the roles of parent or spouse.
Any other PMDD parents who can contribute to the discussion? Seems very plausible a connection to me. It makes all relationships difficult, with how social humans are.

2024.05.17 00:13 SwissArmyJim Goodbye Friends

No one will care, but I’m doing this for me.
My relationship with this game is….problematic at least. High play player, always wanted to be diamond but was never good enough. Over 800 hours played, been playing since 2016.
Sometimes I have fun…but most of the time I don’t. The sheer rage inducing abilities, the toxic players, the fact that at its core…it’s just not a very good game. If you’re honest with yourself.
This is by no means some sort of PSA to quit, if you’re having a good time, play. But I am not.
Every night I boot up, sometimes I go to bed happy but most of the time I go to bed frustrated, I turn 30 next year. I think it’s time to have a hard look in the mirror and become the person I want to be.
I am addicted to this game, but I choose not to play anymore.
This will be my last post, and the last time I use Reddit as well. It’s time to remove toxicity from my life.
Goodbye friends, thanks for all the memories.
I’ll never forget you.

2024.05.17 00:13 Recent_Geologist_863 Help me with my seasonal color analysis

Help me with my seasonal color analysis
Some time ago I discovered the Seasonal Color Analysis and was fascinated by it! I tough it would be amazing to know my season to improve my personal palette. I always thought I was warm, but when I took a test, it turned out I'm a deep winter, which I understand is a cool palette. When I look at my veins, they appear bluish-green, so I can't decide between the two. Now I'm a bit confused and thought maybe you could help me clarify that doubt. Could it be that my skin color undertone is Olive? I'll share some unedited photos of myself in different lights and with different lipsticks. I would like to wear brighter or more saturated colors, but I don't know if they will look good on me! Thank you.

2024.05.17 00:12 GuitarRose AITAH for telling my mom she shouldn’t get an opinion on something that doesn’t affect her.

I (16F) was upset by this annoying new rule at school. To prevent bias, I am not going to say what it is. My mom (49F) kept telling me how great it is for the parents.
We’re arguing valid points and then she says “The part of the brain that is responsible for good decisions doesn’t stop developing until 21.” That pissed me the fuck off because up until that point we were having a mature conversation and now she pulls that invalidating and condescending card.
She asks why I seem upset, and I tell her. Then she asks why “telling the truth” is condescending and invalidating.
I explained it wasn’t the words she said, but the way she said them and the placement. I shouldn’t have to explain this to a grown woman but you know that’s my mom.
What is y’all’s opinion? Am I overreacting and the asshole or was she invalidating and the asshole?

2024.05.17 00:12 ThrowRA-9149 My (36M) social circle keeps telling me they'd date my wife (35F), advice?

Hey y'all. My wife and I got out of our introverted ways to start volunteering with a local meetup group. The folks that participate can be awkward sometimes, but they're mostly a cool group of people who share a similar passion around video games and making video games.
Both of us get along great with the people there and it's fun to meet up and talk shop.
I love my wife, and sometimes I'll say positive things about her and then random folks will blurt out, "yeah, your wife is great, if you weren't married to her, I'd date her!" or similar.
I didn't really think about it much in retrospect, but after it came up from several different folks multiple times, I was thinking, "is this a polite or reasonable thing to say to someone?"
We've been married for years, our relationship is stable, we have two dogs and a home together, relationship with her and my family is good, etc. I'm stating this so y'all don't go down a dark path trying to guess some dark truth of our relationship. We're normal, boring nerds, who love each other.
How would you folks respond to these comments? Is it something you ignore? Do you tactfully ask them not to? Point out that it's kind of odd and change topics?
Thoughts on how to politely handle this?
tldr; Getting weird "Your wife is great, I'd date her if you weren't married" comments from people in our meetup. How to tactfully address these awkward statements?

2024.05.17 00:12 oooduckooo How do I make things right?

I had a friend that I hung out with a year ago. We related to a lot of our mental health issues and he was such an authentic person. I have strong isolating tendencies and I started isolating from him. A few months after I ghosted him, he died. He was hit by a train, so his death wasn’t easy.
That happened 8 months ago and today I saw his instagram account and clicked it to relink with him. His whole page was his mom posting things like “RIP”. I looked his name up in my local news and the first story was how he was hit by a metrolink train.
8 months went by without me knowing he was dead. About a year went by since we talked. I scroll through our old messages and can see how I started pushing him away. My intentions weren’t bad. I am bipolar and things get messy, so I push people away before I ruin our friendship and I wanted to reapproach our friendship once I got better.
I got better and now he’s gone. I scroll through our texts and I feel heartbroken and disgusted with myself. He texted me how he missed me, kept asking when we’d hang out and all my texts went from making excuses to flat out ghosting. I know deep down I never meant anything bad, but I can’t help but feel disgusted by what happened.
He wanted to hang out. He wanted me as a friend. He didn’t have many people who related to or understood him, but I did and he made that clear. I didn’t go to his funeral, memorial, or anything. I had no clue he died. How do I make things right within myself so that I can move forward in my own life? This is going to mess me up and I wish I just said “yes” to the concerts, hikes, movies, playing video games, etc. All i’m left with is text messages showing how much he wanted me as a friend and me not being a good friend. That’s how things will forever be left between us and I don’t know how to feel comfortable as a human.

2024.05.17 00:12 nekomeiko Need Advice- Male Doctor at Urgent Care popped a cyst on my labia without my consent, even after asking him to stop

Hi Ladies, I need advice. I'm planning on leaving a review and reporting him to the Texas Medical Board but I feel like I'm going crazy and don't feel justified in reporting. I'd like to hear what y'all think (TLDR at bottom)
2 days ago I noticed what looked like a boil or cyst on my right labia. Yesterday this boil started to grow and become very irritated making it hard to sit down and hurt to walk around. I checked google and started putting a warm compress on it throughout the day to get it to drain naturally but knew I would probably need to get antibiotics to keep from infection. The boil (now know it was a cyst) was about 1cm big, pea-edamame sized and looked like it was possibly infected, hence the urgent care trip, and very red and inflamed. Wanted to be safe rather than sorry and decided it was better to go get antibiotics and start them that night just in case it started draining. It was pretty late at night and there was only 1 urgent care open, which was not the urgent care I typically went to.
Get to the urgent care, fill out the papers. Receptionist sees my paperwork and lets me know they only have a male doctor, and if that would be ok. Male doctors doing my exams in sensitive areas wasn't my favorite thing. Had some good experiences, had some bad. I said it was fine, since I assumed he was just going to examine if it looked infected and maybe prescribe some antibiotics. Wait for a bit in the waiting room then the nurse pulls me back for vitals. She was extremely sweet, talked about her bartholin's cyst and how it sounded like that could possibly be my problem. She told me to get undressed from the waist down, gave me a cover up, and she let me know she would be in the room with me while the doctor took a look.
Doctor comes into the room. It was an older man in his 70's or 80's. He did not introduce himself, he did not ask me what I was in for. I said hello, tried to start talking about my problem and he interrupts me with just a "show me it.". Rude and weird as we haven't even had a conversation yet but whatever, it's late at night.
I get on my back, there were no sternups or anything so I kind of awkwardly had my legs frog style. He immediately began touching the area- which was very red and tender and painful without a single word. Not a huge fan of that. My gyno's and dr's have always told me what they were about to do, especially when touching in or around my vagina. I asked him to tell me if it looked infected, if I could just let it drain and if I would need antibiotics (been super anxious about sepsis recently which was the biggest factor for coming in). He mentions that it looked like it may have started draining and then asked the nurse to grab him a paper towel.
Suddenly I felt a huge stinging pain on the area where the cyst was. Enough to make me yelp in pain and scoot back from him. He was popping my cyst. Popping it! No lancing, no gentle squeezing, no pain relief, NOTHING! He hadn't even wiped the area before popping a cyst, possibly making it more infected if it wasn't already. After the first wave of pain, nearly passing out he kept squeezing very hard I said "that hurts really bad can you stop?" and he did not stop. He squeezed again, and I yelped again and said "I'm serious I haven't had any ibuprofen or anything this hurts so bad please stop". Still no words spoken to me at this point. I was pissed, and in a lot of pain. I had wanted it to drain naturally because I didn't want to risk any extra scarring even with a cut or lance, but I will get even worse scarring from this doctor popping it! He took the paper towel and kept wiping and I winced in pain and told him to seriously stop touching it. He finally backed off, and waddled over to his clipboard all without saying a single word to me. The female nurse was in the room, silent this entire time- mind you.
He finally spoke up to ask me how much I weighed and if I was allergic to any medications because now that it's ruptured I needed to be on antibiotics immediately so I don't get infected. I couldn't believe what had just happened. He had not asked me if I wanted it "drained" if you could even call it that. He had not talked to me about what he was going to do. And if he had listened to me as he waddled over, he would have heard me say that I've been doing warm compresses to get it to drain naturally. I had to ask the female nurse for a panty liner so that I wasn't (TMI) leaking puss and blood all over my panties while I waited 45 minutes at a CVS to start my antibiotics. He left the room, without sharing any aftercare, without asking me if I had any questions. Nothing, just left. I just have this big gaping wound on my labia that I guess I'm just trying to keep clean and not pee on?
I have gotten cysts drained before at doctors offices, by the way. Cysts on my vaginal opening and urethral opening have been drained at gyno appointments. They are supposed to give you some kind of local numbing and it is done on request with either a lance or a cut. They certainly didn't squeeze-pop them without consent and they were explaining everything they were doing, before doing it. And the most important thing was when the pain was bad and I said "break" or "stop" and they would stop.
I left the clinic feeling violated. I'm upset that this cyst is going to scar more because he ruptured it without a care in the world. I had not asked him to drain my cyst on any kind of paperwork. I am upset he had not asked for any kind of consent before doing it. I was not there on request of a cyst draining. I had requested an exam to check for infection and to possibly get antibiotics.
I will be following up with my primary care physician, just to check for damage and proper aftercare instructions. I am planning on leaving a review on the clinics google page, which I found also had a few 1 star reviews about "the older gentleman" that took care of them. I want to also report to the medical board, but I have no strong evidence against him. I am a SA victim, and I'm already very uncomfortable with people touching me in that area. And I feel like he scarred me without my consent.
Any and all advice or support is greatly needed right now <3
TLDR: Went to doctor for centimeter sized cyst on labia to examine if it was infected and to get antibiotics. Male doctor refused to speak to me, and squeeze-popped my cyst without talking to me, without consent, without pain relief and refused to stop squeezing after I had asked him to stop, twice. My risk of infection is higher, and the area is going to scar. Left me no aftercare instructions. Gave me antibiotic prescription. This was a *non-emergency* urgent care trip.

2024.05.17 00:12 FitAndHappyCompany I might be biased, but this is the shortest and most effective weight loss guide you will find on the internet.

Here is a brief outline on how to loose weight in a way that is sustainable, gets you long term results, and doesn’t make you miserable.
Before starting, here’s a few things to consider.
1) It doesn’t matter if you’re fit for 5 years, and unfit for 50. Weight management is a lifelong skill, you don’t just loose weight and that’s it, you want to manipulate your body to make you feel good over your short and miserable life ;) (I’m joking)
2) Weight loss is not complicated, in order to loose weight, you have to consume less calories then you burn.
3) Weight loss is not the hardest thing in the world. With a few tips that I will outline at the end of this post, it will make it 10 times easier to stick to a diet (yes this sounds crazy, but just listen)
Ok, so how do you loose weight? Here it goes…
There are two ways. The first one being the counting of calories way, and the second is more of an educated guessing game. I’ll talk about both, as the process is a bit different, with the latter being the inferior way (generally speaking, it’s not as easy on the motivation front, and might require more discipline)
Calorie counting way:
1) Go to google and look for a calorie calculator, enter your details and you will get a number. This calculator is not 100% accurate, but gives you a ballpark number.
2) Figure out how fast you want to loose weight. If you have been trying to loose weight for a while, but gain it all back, then consider loosing weight slowly (at a 300 calorie deficit) if not then it is up to you, you can start at a more aggressive diet (500 calorie deficit) for the first week, and if you feel like it’s draining on you, then eat at maintenance for a few days (3-7 days) and start dieting slowly again at a 300 calorie deficit.
Generally speaking: 300 calorie deficit = 0.3-0.5kg loss per week 500 calorie deficit = 0.5-0.7kg loss per week
It really depends on your body
Here is the juicy part that makes weight loss much easier, tips and tricks!
1) Eat a lot more protein. Protein helps you retain muscle whilst loosing weight, even if you don’t exercise. A good number to aim for is 1 gram of protein per lb of body weight. Less if your trying to gain weight (for my body builders reading this)
2) Eat foods that are satiating, Foods have different satiety levels, 200 calories of chicken will make you feel a heck of lot fuller then 400 calories of m&ms. Eat lean cuts of meat, white fish, egg whites, complex carbs, fruites, and veggies to make you feel full. Also opt for calorie friendly options of popular foods and drinks such as sodas, ketchup, ice cream, etc.
If you don’t believe me, try eating 1,000 calories of home cooked chicken without oil or sauces, and boiled potato. And then try eating 1,000 calories in McDonald’s. Your gonna feel like you just ate at a buffet after the chicken and potato, and your gonna crave more food and feel hungry after the McDonald’s.
3) Exercise, don’t do it. Let me explain, if you do intense cardio, you’re gonna be feeling a lot more tired, and wanting/craving food, your most likely better of siting on the couch all day and saying no to the 200 calorie snickers bar that you would have burned off doing 30 min of cardio.
Here’s what you do, you either don’t do it at all and try to get 10k steps per day, or you do something that you enjoy. This can be body building, calisthenics, or any sport that doesn’t feel like a chore. Playing football for an 1 hour is a lot easier then running on the treadmill for 30 minutes.
4) Leave space for snacks, eating 2,000 calories of ice cream vs 2,000 calories of salad will have the same result on your weight. Eliminating snacks will make you crave them, and eventually you will give in and binge. Leave a portion of your calories for a snack of your choice every day (I’d recommend 300 calories, but I love my snacks so I do a bit more)
5) Don’t take your day to day scale number personally, one day you could loose fat, but appear heavier on the scale because your body decided to retain more water that day. If you notice that on average the scale shows less on a weekly basis, you’re on the right track.
Non calorie counting way:
1) Eat at places that count calories for you, and take note of how much you ate. Eat at subway, chipotle, or other places that count calories. (Always ask for more protein, and go easy on the fats and carbs)
2) If you can’t, then when eating out, avoid sugary drinks, desserts, sauces, and tell whoever is taking your order to cook without oil or butter. Eat un-processed foods that are satiating such as steak with roasted potato’s.
3) You have to learn intuitive eating, avoid processed foods that make you crave more, stick to high quality food that make you feel satiated, and eat slowly. When you start feeling full, put the fork down and wait for 5 minutes. If you’re still hungry then continue eating slowly, if not then that’s it.
This was a pretty short guide, but I hope it has helped some of you.

2024.05.17 00:11 Peacock-Shah-III The Farmer-Labor Presidential Primaries of 1952 Peacock-Shah Alternate Elections

The Farmer-Labor Presidential Primaries of 1952 Peacock-Shah Alternate Elections
Seeking a third term to finish his construction of a new dawn for the republic once and for all, incumbent President Philip La Follette has rallied his supporters within the party to almost guarantee his renomination after four years of intraparty purges of his detractors following his narrow triumph over John L. Lewis in 1948. Yet, inspired by former Vice President Lena Morrow Lewis’s deathbed plea to “save our party’s democratic soul,” burgeoning efforts from within statewide opposition groups have sought to mount opposition from within the presidential nominating process as a means of reconquering state parties.
Presidential portrait of Philip F. La Follette.
Philip F. La Follette: The heir to one of the nation’s great political dynasties, Philip Fox La Follette would emerge from the Great War and Revolution as a war hero, a reputation that, with his last name, would carry the once outspokenly anti-war young man to the Governor’s office, Lindbergh’s Supreme Court, and finally the upper echelons of the Army, where his ability to avoid taking positions on controversial issues would win him the Farmer-Labor nomination for the presidency in 1944–and finally the White House itself. Alienating much of his constituency from the outset with his determination to prosecute the war effort to its fullest, La Follette would respond to the battlefield use of two atomic weapons by Japan with a series of nuclear strikes upon the Japanese mainland that would claim final victory for the United States at the cost of the lives of over two million Japanese civilians. Appointing General Douglas MacArthur, hardly a Farmer-Laborite, as Secretary of State, La Follette has pursued the rebuilding and rearmament of a ring of anti-communist nations in Asia while pledging to avoid any future war.
Declaring that, with the age of war having closed, the republic must “win the peace,” La Follette allied himself with much of Charles Lindbergh’s base of support, saluting alongside the fascists of Alabama as he presided over the sharpest GDP growth in American history and buoyed it with executive orders to nationalize the healthcare industry while engaging in the mass sterilization of Americans and constructing an interstate highway system and hydroelectric power grid without congressional approval. With an investigation into the disappearance of Smedley Butler yielding evidence of an assassination organized under former President Lindbergh and a litany of arrests of leading anti-La Follette figures stuning the nation, the opposition would unite in an unprecedented impeachment effort.
Now, months after having saved his presidency from the first impeachment in American history, 55 year old incumbent President Philip F. La Follette has sought a new mandate for his call to “win the peace” in a quest for a third term; further, the President has taken his first major post-impeachment use of executive power to reorganize the cabinet into umbrella departments of Peace, Production, and Prosperity. Pointing to the successful slaying of the dragon of inflation and the first space launches in human history, Phil has sought the passage of a constitutional amendment reducing the legislative power to that of a veto and expanding that of the presidency while instituting a nationwide referendum system. Although practically guaranteed renomination after his purging of opponents from national power within Farmer-Labor following his narrow 1948 triumph over John L. Lewis, La Follette’s re-envisioning of Farmer-Labor has nonetheless continued to fuel a dogged but disorganized opposition movement despite the winning over of former opponents such as Washington’s Scoop Jackson, who nearly mounted a bid against La Follette himself.
Conservative former President Alf Landon, socialist Representative Norman Thomas, and the widow of Franklin Roosevelt, Anna Eleanor, campaigning in New York.
Nationwide Opposition Candidates:
With efforts to discourage any opposition campaigns in full swing, only one major figure has stepped forth to win ballot access in most states continuing to hold primaries, although many states have seen independent organizing efforts in tandem with the shared ultimate goal of the demise of fascism.
Alf Landon: 65 year old former President Alf Landon has his cross to bear. Refusing to endorse against Charles Lindbergh after withdrawing from the party’s 1936 primaries, Landon’s inaction as his 1932 campaign manager Rush Holt put Lindbergh over the line would see the Lone Eagle’s flight path on a course to the White House, from where he would crush the remaining loyal Landonites in the midterm elections of 1938. Landon emerged triumphant in 1928 by pitching his moderation as a formula for long term Farmer-Labor dominance of government, only to see the party implode under his watch. Losing the popular vote only to win a contingent election via the machinations of Clarence Dill, Landon's presidency proved eventful, most notable, perhaps for its domestic inaction. While concentrating his focus upon the Molotov-Lundeen Pact establishing friendly diplomatic relations with the Soviet government in Russia, a policy Landon championed as the catalyst for the wide scale withdrawal of foreign forces from American soil, Landon would cut economic aid across the board and refuse to bail out banks & big business in the face of record unemployment rates following the worldwide depression brought on by the collapse of the Japanese economic bubble, while focusing on driving up interest rates to control inflation.
Pitted against a hostile Congress led by Clarence Dill, the man whose legislative acumen carried him to the White House and who now stands as La Follette’s loyal Secretary of Peace, Landon found much of his party arrayed against him in the face of a veto of the Thomas Bill nationalizing natural gas distribution & the telephone industry despite prior promises from Landon to support both proposals. With the complete breakdown of legislative-executive relations, Dill forced through the Recovery Act of 1931, the largest omnibus bill in American history, enacting vast economic reforms over the disgruntlement of Landon. Winning the primaries of 1932 in a landslide, only to lose at the convention in the face of the backroom dealings of Clarence Dill, Landon would fail in a 1936 comeback attempt that would inadvertently pave the way to fascism.
In partisan exile, Landon would unsuccessfully organize against President Lindbergh, only to watch his followers be resoundingly defeated in the midterm elections of 1938; finding himself at the upper echelons of power anew as an unofficial negotiator with the United Kingdom under President Luce, Landon would organize political comeback in 1945 by winning election to the United States Senate after the death of George Norris. Working from there on policy issues such as advocacy of the Parliament of Nations and support for presidential programs such as the Interstate Highway system, Landon and his remaining caucus of conservatives have been at the fore of anti-La Follette intraparty organizing from the campaign of John L. Lewis to the movement for impeachment. Throwing his hat into the ring once more, Landon has used his stature to argue that only his brand of moderation can resurrect the Farmer-Labor of old as a viable party independent of the control of the fascists brought to power by his own neglect.

Robert A. Heinlein: Launched to international fame as the senior naval officer during the American attack on Pearl Harbor, 45-year-old former Commodore Robert A. Heinlein has used the events of December 7th, 1941 as a springboard for a lucrative career as a science fiction author. Emphasizing scientific accuracy in novels with titles such as Red Planet and Rocket Ship Galileo, Heinlein would step from the military and literary arenas to the political at the urging of his publisher James Laughlin and associate Ezra Pound, the poet and former New York Governor who has attempted to revive the American social credit movement. In turn, with Laughlin, Pound, and office holders such as Senators Hans Wight and John Horne Blackmore and Representative Solon Earl Low in tow, Heinlein has capitalized on his war hero stature to campaign for the presidency entirely unrelated to those of every other candidate campaigning against La Follette and instead intended to revitalite the American social credit movement.
Falling curiously between the social credit wing of Farmer-Labor and radicals of the Liberty League, Heinlein has described himself as a libertarian while supporting a social credit monetary system balancing a nationalized monetary supply with a requirement of a 100% reserve on money lending as described in his seminal novel For Us, The Living; further, he has coupled his experience in the Navy with his science fiction work to argue that he is uniquely able to continue President La Follette’s attempts to reach for the stars through a space program and argued for a currency backed by the very goods owned by the government itself. A firm believer in the concept of a national draft and a militarist at heart, Heinlein has resurrected positions such as support for the repeal of the Jesus Amendment, the concomitant secularization of the United States government, and support for a constitutional amendment requiring a national referendum prior to any declaration of war resulting in the drafting of supporters.

Regional Opposition Candidates:
Note: If voting for the regional opposition, please leave a comment indicating to whom you wish your support to be counted.
With opposition Farmer-Labor organizations persisting around the nation and fighting to recapture control of their state parties, anti-La Follette factions across the nation have rallied around regional candidates in states permitting competitive primaries in an attempt to rise the tide of the down ballot opposition. Thus, all of the following candidates are only on the ballots of one or several states.
John Haynes Holmes: 73 year old Unitarian minister John Haynes Holmes served as a leading advisor to William Jennings Bryan, guiding the post-revolutionary nation through the unsteady waters of foreign occupation as he used the White House pulpit to preach his gospel of pacifist socialism. Playing a key role in the pardons of former revolutionaries, Holmes would serve in Alf Landon’s inaugural diplomatic delegation to Bolshevik Russia before reluctantly supporting Charles Lindbergh for his opposition to war with Japan. Nonetheless, a consistent opponent of fascism from his days as a seminary student denouncing young Governor Milford W. Howard’s new order in Alabama, Holmes has been a consistent bulwark in the struggle against the party’s fascist wing, renouncing President La Follette once it became clear that he would not end the Third Pacific War and using the word impeachment as early as the atomic bombings of 1945, which Holmes has denounced as a violation of the Jesus Amendment. Running on restoring the party’s former core of Christian socialism, Holmes has been put forth across New England as the flag bearer of the opposition, with a fundraising team led by widow Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, a distant cousin of the former President.
Sid McMath: Hoisting the banner of opposition across the Deep South and Southwest is 40 year old Arkansas Senator Sid McMath. Primarying longtime incumbent Farmer-Laborite Garrett Whiteside in 1948 only to face off against the organization of Progressive strategist Osro Cobb, known as the “wizard of Arkansas” for his success in what was once the nation’s most Farmer-Laborite state, McMath would win an upset victory running on his record as a war hero and ties to Smedley Butler and Evans Fordyce Carlson. Horrified at revelations of the murder of Butler by the Lindbergh Administration, McMath would vote for the removal of Philip La Follette after a midnight visit from his former commanding officer in the Marine Corps David Shoup, transforming himself from an enigma to a pariah overnight as fascists across the nation have descended upon Arkansas to challenge him in 1954, with La Follette forces already organizing behind challenger Orval Faubus in a move that has placed McMath in an unexpected alliance with former rival Osro Cobb.

Jimmy Hoffa: 39 year old labor leader Jimmy Hoffa inherited the mantle of leadership of the Congress of Industrial Organizations from longtime President John L. Lewis after the arrest of Lewis and his deputy Tony Boyle. A moderate with sympathies to both the party’s right and left seen as balancing with fellow CIO leader Walter Reuther’s socialism, Hoffa has put the interests of labor above all from his days leading the Teamsters Union. A fiery speaker who many credit with saving the CIO from collapse after the arrest of its leonine leader, Hoffa’s name is only on three ballots, but he has emerged as the choice of handfuls of CIO-affiliated delegates across the nation as a protest vote against the continued nationalization of the General Trades Union.
Jerry Voorhis: The Senate’s sole member from the Single Tax Party, California’s Jerry Voorhis has nonetheless served as the lightning rod around which disparate California anti-La Follette Farmer-Laborites have organized owing to the state ordinances permitting political crossfiling. Having described “the Kingdom of God” as being a world “all producing wealth is owned publicly” in his Claremont University thesis, Voorhis would oppose President Lindbergh from the beginning as a Farmer-Labor socialist before joining the Single Tax Party in 1946, reviving it in the state of California in an attempt to find a new vehicle for his politics. Seen as a contender for the presidency regardless of party affiliation, Voorhis’s draft movement among California oppositionists has been heralded as the first step of the left wing knight’s hypothetical return to a rebuilt Farmer-Labor Party. Among his surprising supporters has been former Lindbergh-La Follette stalwart Reverend Robert P. Shuler, who has praised Voorhis for crossing ideological and party lines to defend his right to free speech in moralistic attacks on Henry Luce’s romantic life.
Frank P. Zeidler: 40 year old Wisconsin Governor Frank P. Zeidler has stood as a socialist in the heart of La Follette country, successfully resisting primary challenges to maintain his grasp on the office amidst a tenuous alliance with Joseph McCarthy. Entering politics following the death of his rising star brother Carl, Frank has accepted the ballot line of the opposition in several Midwestern states following the death of former Senator Herbert S. Bigelow, once anticipated as a socialist challenger himself. A socialist to the core, Zeidler supporters point to his history of fiscal success and balanced budgets as evidence of his acumen in economic management and ability to control inflation as a possible future chief executive.

2024.05.17 00:11 ReasonableRaisin3665 Alternative ways to come out to family?

I've (18f) put off coming out to my family for 3 years now, my mum knows but we're on really awkward terms about it, shes not unsupportive its just that i've made it really awkward between us. But my dad and my brother don't know.
I think part of it is being scared to have to sit down and say it all in a conversation, it would just be so awkward and id be too embarrased to do it. Being at uni, the way i came out was more gradual, i slowly started presenting more femme to face my fear of being judged (think like exposure therapy) until finally i gave up caring what others thought and it really took off from there, i've never been happier. But at home its a different matter.
Let me tell you a bit about each of my family:
My mum, she is supportive of me and is currently the only one in my family ive told. as i've said i told her 2 years ago but i did it in the complete wrong way lol, she hasnt seen me be feminine once in person (but she knows i am when shes not around), the only bits shes seen of it is are long discussions, normally me ranting about the political shitstorm surrounding us. So its quite awkward as ive only really got stressed about it around her, she knows i am embarrassed about it, and i know she knows, and its a bit of a crazy subject lol.
My dads not necessarily unsupportive but he definitely believes in the "woke snowflakes" narrative, he's said some things like "a man cant become a woman" and has spoken about "gender ideology" but i'm putting it down to being misinformed. he suspects im gay but thats as far as it goes. He'd get over it eventually but it would be a bit mental at first and would take him.... a while for us to not cringe up every time we see each other lol.
My brother, he's younger than me and i imagine the initial reaction would be like raised eyebrows and a giggle, but then he will actually turn out to be the most supportive of me.
Overall i have a very loving family and as it goes im probably one of the luckiest. But that doesnt mean its not shit scary for me to come out.
I was just wondering whether anyone has experience of coming out in the way i described., not all at once but sort of gradually being less and less subtle until someone brings it up. Would this work, in your opinion?
Thank you :)
