If you have an RSS feed setup for the podcast (not all grant this access), then generally the ads aren’t part of it. They are added in whatever program they are generally loaded into like Spotify, apple podcasts, etc. I recently setup Audiobookshelf to self host them and just popped the link for the RSS feed into the “Add” section and listen to it just like anywhere else, but without the ads.

Okay great! I recommend any of the Legend of Zelda series, Tony Hawk games (I like the RPG feel of Underground and Underground 2), Super Mario World, Banjo-Kazooie, Diddy Kong Racing, the Mega Man Battle Network series.

Have you considered something like EmuDeck? 25GB is dozens if not thousands of games from older retro consoles, depending on how old you would consider.

Pretty good joke, to be honest.

I mean you could just disregard their username. It’s disregardable.

Both favorites! Grape and cherry are both favorites.

I may not have clearly stated what I meant. I wasn’t trying to offer an opinion on your experience. My initial point was imply it is absolutely valid medical knowledge that nerve endings exist in the cervix. Whether or not a doctor acknowledges that or listens to their patients is entirely independent of that (unfortunately). I understand that as a separate issue, but at least modern medical science recognizes it.

Yeah, I’m sure that is frustrating.

That is a valid stance to take based on your history. I’ve acknowledged your personal experiences may differ. I was not trying to “cancel out” your viewpoint, the same way I don’t think it would be fair to discount mine.

Sure I understand that, especially for your personal experiences. I also recognize this has historically been a huge issue. I work closely with doctors and nurse practitioners in women’s health (L&D, urogynecology, etc.) and they all take it very seriously (they are of mixed genders). I think it depends on the area and expertise of the doctor, but this is an outdated mindset that is (in my experience) quickly becoming obsolete as more voices are raised and research is published. I’m just against the sweeping generalization of “doctors believe” or “doctors think” and am quick to call it out for clarification. It has been used to support people avoiding healthcare practioners or trusting modern medical science. Saying “my doctor was shitty because they don’t listen to my concerns” is super valid and should be acknowledged, but “doctors don’t listen to women” is not a fair representation.

I’m not sure what you mean by this; the cervix is known to have many nerve endings and is accepted medical knowledge.

Why is it distasteful? They are indeed an example of an inbred family, albeit not from Texas.

Not mildly; excruciatingly.

In a similar thought, I was thinking of asking people for help making my thumb huge…
