maybe don’t fuck like a bunny with so many people

This is the weird slut-shaming I was referring to.

You can go fuck all you want, but please do not spread any diseases and do not get pregnant if you can’t afford a kid in the first place

Women cannot control whether they get pregnant or not. No birth control is 100% effective. Even the high percentages you see are ‘perfect use’ and mean for every 100 women, 10 women actually get pregnant with ‘typical use’ while using their birth control (Source). The higher effective ones are things like the IUD and arm implant, devices that are expensive and come with their own risks but are also not 100% effective; although they’re the closest you can get. Women have all sorts of reasons for picking their chosen birth control, some cannot handle hormones at all. Even I’ve been wrecked by various birth controls. You are effectively saying sex is only for procreation and nothing else.

If you do abortion then, it is clearly unethical, no matter what.

There is no reason to judge a woman’s choice to abort as ethical or unethical. None. As in, it is offensive you are suggesting this. Shit happens. Most abortions are not due to rape and even knowing this, it does not fucking matter. The fact you assume she is lazy is atrocious. It isn’t documented why she was pregnant because it’s none of your business!

And no, knowing she was pregnant does not help determine how far along she is unless she had sex and then never had sex again after that and then caught on to her missed period (assuming she has regular periods, I personally do not even before I started birth control). C’mon, please web search this because women are not identical birthing machines.

Some women feel early pregnancy symptoms within a week or two of getting pregnant, while other women may go months with no pregnancy symptoms. Maybe your symptoms are subtle enough that you don’t recognize them. Some women have a cryptic pregnancy, which means they don’t realize they’re expecting until late in pregnancy. According to the Cleveland Clinic, about 1 in 475 women don’t know they’re pregnant until about 20 weeks, and 1 in 2,500 don’t know they’re expecting until they’re in labor. Source

This is such a bad take. I guess I must be 3 years pregnant /s. You have no idea what it is like to be a woman and living in poverty, let alone one that is also a mother and cannot afford another kid. Slut-shaming is misogynistic as well, women are not mechanical clocks and we do not freak out over every missed period. Please reflect on this. The problem is capitalism once again, but you care more about a woman and a miscarriage instead of why she was in this predicament in the first place.

Omg you beat me to it, I loved the chao gardens in SA and SA2.

The lounge just has things like a sofa, tv, a red light treatment thing, automatic massage table/chairs, stuff like that. It is completely avoidable. I’m a dummy who signed up for it for the automatic massage stuff, and it was usually broken/malfunctioning when I used it >.<

When I called they said I had to cancel by sending a letter.

I went through something similar while trying to cancel, only instead of a vacation it was somewhere I completely moved to that no longer had planet fitness. Going back and forward with the gym via phone and then letters went nowhere. I finally put a stop on my debit card to end things. I heard they go after people in court or collections at that point, but I was never contacted again about it.

It has been a hot minute for me, but I think the lower $10/month gave you access to everything but their stupid lounge reserved for the higher $20/month tier. You could cancel the $10 anytime but not the $20 tier without paying an extra buyout fee. Also looks like it was increased from $10 to $15 in 2024.

I moved to a place without planet fitness and it was hell cancelling the higher tier since they insisted you couldn’t cancel over the internet or phone, only via certified mail, and even then they kept losing my letter. The gyms around me start at $40/month so I do not go to the gym anymore.

Lemmy didn’t have much content at first so you would run out of things to read after a while. It felt friendly at first, but certain topics still set off people at lemmy to the point I thought about leaving. Then lemmy seemed to improve and I could talk about those topics again, but now there are more trolls (even ones that seem to follow you around since they troll each post or comment talking about something) and spam bots that weren’t there before. I think a lot of conflict on forums like this has to do with miscommunication, but sometimes people are just mean and there isn’t a fix.

While it is true that this is said to patients, ibuprofen is not enough pain relief. Insertion is often rated as extremely painful, but patients are told it is similar to a menstrual cramp. It was a 10 out of 10 for me, and that was with extra ibuprofen.

Patients’ pain experiences during IUD insertions often do not align with what practitioners perceive that pain to be. One study shows that women rated their highest pain during a procedure at around 65 on a scale of 100, while providers estimated it at around 35—highlighting a deep-rooted disparity between patient experiences and provider perceptions.3

“Women are left in the dark about the reality of this procedure, and that needs to change,” Hart told Verywell. “For many of us, it’s not just mild pinching or cramps, and the first step is to bring this out of the shadows, validate women’s pain, and show them that there are options available to help them manage it.”

One letter off from greatness 😮‍💨

I cannot stress enough how great this website is. I was using it to teach myself calculus, there are awesome videos that break everything down and taught me much better than the professor I had.
