Is he asking because of a specific person he’s in the type of relationship where that would be normal or just non-specific hypothetical?

Kinda curious how many people who have had sex felt like this beforehand and how people’s thoughts like this have changed with the generations.

I can’t provide any advice since I can’t really imagine not being uncomfortable with such a scenario. Like, its hard to emotionally understand how so many people eventually have sex and isn’t some niche thing some tiny minority do. But I’m ace and trans.

Vegan often refers to more than dietary restrictions.

Of course they do. Still not the point of the comic and plenty of people immediately understood the point. There doesn’t need to be another 4 panels to explain what they’d be.

I love how a 4 panel comic about dismissal of women’s medical concerns is getting multiple commentors who want to dismiss those problems because a 4 panel comic doesn’t explicitly go into the a specific nuance they are focused on. Plenty of people get the punchline just fine without it.

Sure, there are valid medical reasons. This comic isn’t about that. It’s about the outright dismissal of women’s problems. It’s not about changing treatment based on pregnancy status despite the mention of pregnancy - it’s about the ignoring the problem exists at all to be fixed.

Its satirizing the tendency for doctors to be more dismissive of women having pain than men, for example. This would be more of a problem with non-visible causes of pain, especially ones that predominantly effect women such as chronic migraines. This comic takes extrapolates this to comedic effect by using a gunshot wound instead.

Why would you go to a gun store if you aren’t always loaded and ready to fire? Not talking about a gun. (ps: pretty sure they’re making a joke)

I mostly call my moms by their first names. I almost never directly refer to them as “mom.” When talking about them to people who know them, I refer to them by their names. Basically only call them my mom to people who don’t know my parents.

I’m in the US. But I think part of the reason I do that is having multiple moms. OTOH, they are trying to teach our niece to call them grammy and nana and I know my cousins have a similar way of differentiating their moms.

Its not even unified within a nation. Plenty of nazis in the US have lots of beef with other nazis in the US.

Same experience, except without giving a dosing recommendation. TBF, it was getting tested as part of regularly checks, but the recommendation came before testing.

Curious how compatibility with a high-sex-drive ace and a low-sex-drive allo would compare typically.

And the one company won’t release a Linux version either. Sure, Wine exists, but it’s not nearly as good as native support.

No clue how complicated PDFs, with all of its different versions are. Especially if some software make PDFs that don’t even comply with official spec (not sure how often happens though).

Gimp is really bad with exporting large PDFs. Like 60 pages and it crashed my 16gb ram laptop because it ran out of memory after like spending at least an hour.

I’ve yet to find one. Pdf24 is free but not Foss and decent for certain tasks, but it’s not a great editor. After using the paid version of xchange for as long as I have, using free options just leaves me disappointed.

even a child can understand acceleration and its relationship to changes in velocity

I remember trying to figure out if a specific infinite sequence converges or diverges because I was playing Sonic. I didn’t have any algebra nor calculators that could handle precise calculations nor the terminology I refer to it as now, so I was just trying to guess by doing calculations by hand to see if it looked like it was plateauing to something or if it looks like it was gonna keep growing.

Not sure if its actually useful, but it was something I cared about regardless. Children should play with math more.

Like 90% of concepts from those classes wouldn’t really help people in the world around them, not just “they won’t use integrals daily” but rather they won’t be taught in a way where they’ll connect differentials to what they see in the world or news.

That’s one of the things I find most disappointing about the education system. Like, people technically pass classes that are supposed to ensure they’ve “mastered” certain concepts, but few seem to even notice how they could be applied outside a narrow scope of specifically worded problems. Its so strange hearing people say things like “unless I’m like a math teacher, this is all useless for me outside of class” when calculus specifically was something that I could immediately connect to problems I had outside school immediately.

Even when taking classes that seem to be designed around trying to build real-world problem-solving skills, the classes generally seem to devolve into teachers teaching an algorithm for solving a hyper-specific question, assigning homework doing those hyper-specific question types over and over, and then testing on those hyper-specific questions with different numbers. Those students seem to be virtually no better at identifying how to apply math to real-world problems after such courses…

I feel like calculus should probably start to be introduced in like maybe late-elementary-age? Certainly before high-school-age. I don’t think everyone needs a dedicated 1-year course on it, but some of the concepts are certainly useful and understandable at that age. Regardless of whether its from compulsory education or some alternative education process.

How do you even walk if you don’t know calculus?

Taxes, cheap digital keyboard, sff pc for livingroom media center, then rest to mortgage. Laser hair removal would be on the list, but figuring out where to go an such and confirming an appointment wouldn’t happen in a day, but not needing to pay mortgage for a while would make affording such easy.
