Pretty much. People can be weird.

These people were not influencers, just people with strong held beliefs. They weren’t filming anything or pushing social media. Recording posters is actually against that conference’s policy

They probably do. Crazy bastards.

Like others have said talk to a gyno. You should not be in pain. They will be able to help you sort out what’s going so you can enjoy intimacy.

Probably wandered here from Reddit. The cat groups there are wild.

Unfortunately there are no magic solutions. Corpses will keep happening if the cat is allowed outside. Be glad you’re not my childhood friend, her cat would deposit corpses on their pillows 😱.

I wish I had a good answer. Unfortunately it’s on social media because people believe what they want to a lot of times. I was at a geology conference this one time presenting a poster and was approached by a seemingly nice gentleman. After hearing my spiel he starts lecturing me about how none of this is possible because the Earth is only 6 000 years old. A little bit later I actually got to meet a flat earther in person! The fact that those two people not only hold those beliefs but felt the need to go spread the word at a geology conference is quite confusing to me. When you compound the effects of social media algorithms a lot of people don’t stand a chance.

Agreed, so long as you use good ingredients to start with the resulting meal is almost always passable at the very least.

It is crazy how much of a price difference there is in between ordering and shopping/cooking. We’re really lucky to have a weekly farmers market with an incredible fish stand. They sell better quality and cheaper fish than Whole Foods so that compounds our savings too.
- Comment on I used to be an uber eats driver and lowkey 2 weeks ago:
It’s definitely healthier than what he was ordering. Plus you get to prepare exactly what you want and how you like it. It’s been so gratifying to see him expand his cooking skills with fish. He can rival most restaurants now in my opinion in terms of tastiness. Definitely found a keeper.

I am le tired too. It gets so hot here, I don’t want to go outside.
- Comment on I used to be an uber eats driver and lowkey 2 weeks ago:
I love going to grocery stores in Berlin, the prices are incredible when you’re used to the US and the quality of vegetables/fruits much higher. Prices are close to twice as high often here. Restaurants only concentrate that price discrepancy. There is no way that I could get a full meal delivered for $40 including taxes and charges unless it was fast food.
- Comment on I used to be an uber eats driver and lowkey 2 weeks ago:
I think it also depends on where you live. I would be shocked to see American food prices in comparable French or German restaurants. We are used to overpaying on the basics much less meal delivery apps.
- Comment on I used to be an uber eats driver and lowkey 2 weeks ago:
My husband used to order most of his meals through delivery services just for convenience and because he earned enough so could afford it. I had never ordered a meal on an app before so we had very different approaches to it when we met. It led to a bit of friction until we figured out a weekly dinner compromise: 3-4 days of home cooked fish/rice/veggies, 2-3 days of easy home cooked meals like salad/pasta/pizza/frozen bao, and 1 day of meal delivery. It’s still not my favorite but my husband compromised his stance much more than I did so I stay graceful about it.
- Comment on I used to be an uber eats driver and lowkey 2 weeks ago:
For meal prep services they definitely charge for convenience but the meal does end up costing less than eating something comparable at a restaurant or delivery. What I liked most about it was the you could indulge in variety with the exact portions already provided so you don’t have to buy a bunch of different spices that accumulate and loose flavor over time. It was also convenient for single serving meals when a lot of ingredients at the store are not packaged that way in the US. Agreed, convenience costs though, for me delivery services were worth the compromise when I was single.

That could be a family of four or so. After charges, taxes, fees, and tip my husband and I often end up paying $70-80 for delivery food service in the US.

Why are you still giving space to his views? I definitely don’t agree with his worldview but he hated enough alive, maybe his viewpoint should stop being perpetuated.

I haven’t been dating online since 2021 so I can’t really comment on the current scene ^.^ I hope it treats you well!
- Comment on NO BITCHES? 2 weeks ago:
I treated internet dating as a numbers game. Hard to get too upset about someone initially just not responding. It would feel more personal to me when we would be talking for a bit and they would just ghost. Your comparison is fair, people put varying levels of effort into their relationships in general.
- Comment on NO BITCHES? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I get that. A lot of (male) matches on bumble didn’t engage with me either after I sent a message. I’m not a wordsmith by any means but I always tried to mention something I saw in their profile and ask a question. I figured if anything it showed a bit of effort as a minimum. Never tried tinder.

It worked for me :) Found my awesome husband there. Agreed though, there are definitely women who expect to be pursued.
