  • Oh yeah, I totally get that it's rough to not feel desired. You deserve to feel attractive. Ideally, everyone would be viewed as sexy when and only when they themselves feel like showing off, but that's a tough ideal to achieve.

  • When you're being viewed as an object of desire whenever you go in public, you get kind of tired of it. We just want to exist in peace. Just ignore the butt cheeks of a person who obviously didn't mean to show them to you and go google some porn. Or at the very least don't post memes about getting a boner from it like OP.

  • It's absolutely healthier than animal fat, never mind the lack of cruelty! I wasn't too sure anymore after your comment, so I looked it up, and it seemed that yeah, pretty saturated. I personally just use margarine even though it's trans fats, because the amount I use won't harm me much and it doesn't require animals or being shipped from overseas. A little coconut oil definitely won't kill you either!

  • It does have saturated fat though. Rule of thumb, the lower the temperature at which a fat goes solid, the more saturated it is. But the solid texture can be helpful when replacement other solid fats, true!

  • Idk why people use coconut oil for things like that when olive oil is tastier, healthier, and, at least where I'm at, cheaper. I get the smoke point thing, but that's not relevant for use cases like that.

  • There is no real reason for-profit healthcare would be more efficient at anything other than generating profit. In places with publicly funded health insurance, wait times for an appointment will depend on the urgency. So, you have to call a few weeks ahead if it's a routine checkup, but you'll be seen immediately without an appointment if you're dying. Also, without the profit incentive, there isn't much of a reason to schedule too many patients on a given day, so yeah, wait times are longer in for-profit healthcare countries.

  • CW self harm and suicidal ideation

    Depending on where you are, please be honest with your therapist. Usually they can't (and don't want to) get you committed unless they're convinced you're in immediate danger of badly harming yourself or others. If that's the case, maybe going to the hospital isn't a bad idea. I've talked to my therapist about suicidal ideation, frequent dreams about suicide that I found pleasant, and about self harming, and she never even considered it. All she did was refer me to a psychiatrist, but I wasn't forced to see her, let alone committed to a hospital.

    Do look up whether the rules are different in your country, though.

  • Thanks for posting, didn't know about that!

    To be fair I mainly wanted to jokingly tell the commentator that both china and the us are guilty of this, so I just mentioned a third country that I thought was decent. Thanks for educating :)

  • I've never heard of a country where places give you extra drink for free just because you asked for less ice, to be honest. I know some bartenders who joke about the people who think asking for less ice will get them more.

  • Hey we're pretty similar in regards to running! I started in May. I'm training for a 10k in May of this year.

    I even made the same frustrating experience this week! I ran 8k in 50mins on Monday. Wanted to up my pace yesterday and was so out of breath after 2k that I tasted metal. Felt like I basically had to crawl home after that.

    I googled and apparently if you do want to up your pace, you should try to run faster for only the last 10 mins or so of your run. But don't overdo it because apparently it's literally physiologically different within your muscles whether you run fast or far. And the changes training does are different, too: Usain Bolt at his peak wouldn't have done very well at a marathon.

    But I, for one, am fine training endurance for now. Maybe I'll try to up my pace at a later point in time!
