  • I’m a woman and my first IUD insertion really didn’t hurt me very much. Uncomfortable, but quick and not too bad.

    But when my friends complained about the pain during theirs, I believed them. Because we are all different people with wildly different bodies. I have empathy.

    It’s not a difficult concept, but I think a lot of people struggle with it. “It was fine for me so anyone who complaints is making it up!”

    Anyway, when I went to get my IUD replaced, the second insertion was absolute hell, so now I really get it. But I didn’t need to go through it myself to believe people when they say they experience pain. There’s so much evidence out there indicating that women experience pain. Is it really so hard to just believe the evidence?

    I struggle so much with this. People were already bad at reading emails and following instructions (e.g. ask them to answer 4 questions which I have helpfully listed below, in bold, and they answer the first one and call it a day) but now they just let the a.i. handle it. So instead of not getting answers, I get incorrect and unreviewed answers that just sound like they might be right.

    Then of course when I do the work, and it turns out to be completely useless because it was based on bad information, and it needs to be completely redone. That means wasted hours of time and productivity for me with nothing to show for it. All because someone else wanted to save 5 minutes.








  • Ladies, I am a curvy 13 year old but I still chase like a cat half my age! I am looking for my true love to spend the rest of my life with (must be Christian, no more than 5 years old, and orange).

    I live with my parents and my siblings (one of them is a dog, the other is a jerk) and I WILL NOT groom myself so you must be willing to do it for me. I will complain the entire time.

    No tabbies.



  • Many governments cut social programs that would result in net benefits economically for society (e.g. disability services that mean more people can maintain jobs, education, family planning, public transit, all mean more money is being made overall including more taxes going to the government). But it isn’t a direct enough benefit and it’s hard to quantify, whereas slashing funding feels like immediate savings.

    Imagine no longer paying for your phone service in order to save money, then being confused about why none of the jobs you applied to are calling you back. Same logic.





  • Acting like he hates the snuggles but doing nothing to get away, then looking obviously disappointed when I stop.

    Cuddling up against me while I’m distracted so when I look beside me there’s a surprise cat there I can pet.

    Hurrying me up to give him food, but once the food is served he comes up to me to give me a quick petting opportunity before he digs in. It’s my reward for feeding, him I guess. If I don’t take the chance to pet him, he won’t wait for me, so I need to act fast!



  • Adding to this, I’m often really amazed when I do notice some imperfection someone has and they’re just… Rocking it? Like, they’re not ashamed and something about that confidence turns it into a positive. I fully stopped dying my hair because I saw someone I admire embracing the whites, and she’s stunning. Very well put together too, just doesn’t consider this one thing to be a beauty necessity. And sometimes those little differences from the norm are just awesome.
