Study says women on BC pills/patch/ring are 20 times more likely to get pregnant than with IUDs or implants

I know this is a huge tragedy for a lot of women, but I am so jealous of you :] I have absolutely 0 maternal instincts and no desire for biological kids at all. I'd love to remove my uterus and ovaries to sell them or donate them to science and whatnot, but you have to have a kid first, which is never going to happen for me. Anyway, you sound pretty pleased with it, so I'm happy for you!

So sexy, so simple. You've got amazing taste, lady.

It reminds me of the scenery in a Miyazaki film.

I hope I'm not too late with this one:

Take care of yourself, always. Don't get drunk every weekend, don't laze around and eat junkfood, don't smoke (or, I guess, don't smoke around her.) I mean, even if you tell her not to do these things too, it'll still be 'ok' in her mind if you do them.

Also, kind of related: If you're sick, go to a hospital. My dad never wanted to get a prostate exam, so he never really went to the hospital when he got that age. By the time he did, though, the cancer was spread past his lungs and it was too late. I'm sorry to be a downer, but you can't really take care of anyone when your own health is bad. :(

Honestly, right now I'm not doing very well. My eating disorder is starting to come back a little, I think, but there's a bunch of different 'tricks' to stop feeling insecure:

1.) There's the "fake it til you make it" thing, where you can just joke around about how awesomely amazing you are in a sarcastic voice, and pretty soon it starts getting in your head.

2.) The best option, I think, is to sign up for an account on Tumblr (or another blogging platform) and follow a bunch of body-positive and fat-positive blogs. Some good ones to start with are Chubby-Bunnies and Body-Posi

3.) Learn how to dress for this body type. Just google "how to flatter a rectangular body type" or "how to flatter a petite figure". The general idea is to wear solid colors (preferrably darker) that either emphasize (like with a belt) or completely hide (like with a huge baggy hoodie) the waistline.

4.) If all else fails, there are a couple good exercises mentioned in the comments. Pushups, butterfly lifts with dumbells, lunges, and squats are great and will make a few small changes to your figure over time.

I hope that helped!

Yes! It learns confusion almost right after you evolve it, and that just anhialates other pokemon early on in the game.

I like you. Partially because you're a girl who doesn't participate in all this girl-on-girl hate, partially because you implied that I (being a part of this subreddit) am classy.

Most zombies will decompose to the point where they can't walk within several months. Letting the virus take its course in the world, I guess it wouldn't take longer than 5 years or so (tops) for all the idiots in the world (or whatever countries the virus is confined to) to turn and decompose.

Then, we merely go out with shovels and maybe a couple big pointy knives and start beheading them. I don't see how fuel will ever be a problem, or how it will even be neccessary after a few years.

A common reaction to fear is to lose control of you bladder. Don't get me wrong, I don't piss myself every day, but it's happened several times in a big crowd.

The DNA doesn't change, no, but the way genes are expressed can be changed. We're talking about people manipulating shit with their mind, so I'm not sure how scientifically accurate my arguement will be, but say there's one of 4 "bending" genes in someone depending on which nation they come from, and this gene can be turned on/off depending on how much their lifestyle suits the magical/spiritual part of that kind of bending. Like, maybe someone with a firebending gene can turn it on by having an energetic, emotionally passionate lifestyle. The gene will then be active in them. Maybe it's only if they have an energetic pregnancy, the gene will be turned on in the fetus. Again, we're talking about magic powers and spirit world shit, so I'm not sure how accurate we can be about it.

If they were lurkers, they wouldn't be commenting, or "bitching", about anything.

Someone sounds a little bitter here.

This, almost above all. This shit is on pretty much every online community, and it completely throws people with real social anxiety under the bus. I can't mention or talk about how I go mute and literally start pissing myself in crowds without a bunch of other people talking about how 'random' and 'awkward' they are.

I don't know the story behind Jolly Ranchers, but I love them, so I'm not going to look into it.

Guys have pretty much the entire burden of making anything happen. When they're constantly told to treat women like princesses, to put them on a pedestal, that the ideal man sacrifices and gives to women to prove himself, but then they fail because so many women actually find this behaviour clingy, weak and unattractive, it's really frustrating.

What? Are you being serious? I have never heard a woman older than 16 complain about how she wants to be treated like a princess and put on a pedestal. How did you manage to pull such a ridiculous arguement out of your asshole?

Genetics can work like that, actually. I read a book about it. It's called "epigenetics".

I completely forgot about that part. After reading all these Tarrlok=Amon theories, that would make so much sense.

I wish this every single goddamn day. It's what has made recovery from my eating disorder incredibly difficult. I mean, if I don't eat and drink, I don't poop or pee, and it's easy to stay awake when your body is in 'starvation mode'.

I'm an artist and musician, and when I don't eat or drink much, I can spend 8-12 hours straight just playing music or working on a sculpture, and I make so much progress! Of course, this always backfires when I start getting dehydrated and dizzy from lack of sleep.

This has got to be the 20th time I've seen this reposted here, but it's still a great point that most people don't understand.

My mom is ultra pro-life, racist, and completely slut-shames every girl she sees. Since she raised me, those kinds of beliefs just passed onto me without much thought.

The racism thing wasn't active racism. It was more like "out of sight, out of mind", dropping the n-bomb casually. That changed completely when I grew closer to my best friend (who is black). We went through and are still helping each other with depression, eating disorders, and as I realized how much I loved my friend, my mom's racism started disgusting me. Still trying to de-condition myself to not cringe when approaching a group of black guys, and to not immediately find 'nappy' hair unnattractive.

As for the whole thing with abortion and thinking that sex is inherently immoral, that changed when I got into the deep depression I mentioned, around the age of 15. There was no point in anything for me, so I thought, fuck it, I'm going to just be a dispicable slut because I'm not worth anything anyway. Then I realized that sex was completely awesome and that, since I don't believe in God, there was no big authority that made sex bad.

Science told me lots about abortion. Pigs are more sentient than embryos and fetuses, for instance. They have more emotion, memory, intelligence, an actual capacity to give and appreciate affection. This kind of thought, coupled with my love of sex and hatred of children, motivated me to change my opinion on abortion.

Now, I'm usually the person yelling about how every joke you make is horrible, but to be honest, I'd rather be annoying and loud than racist and closed-minded. I'm much happier as well :]

I have Nicholas Sparks hostage. If you ever get married, that damn pianist WILL play at your wedding. If this does not happen, Nicholas Sparks will die.

Omg, I'm pretty much a pacifist and completely anti-violence, but that's just amazingly badass.
