This reminds me of a bizarre incident I had a few months ago...

Not trying to be insensitive — I understand the history between Japan and Korea...but if you really hate Japan that much, why would you buy a JRPG in the first place? Like, it’s still a Japanese game; it’s steeped in Japanese culture. I don’t understand how removing the sun on his shoes changes any of that. (If…

Yeah, I had the same concerns, but apparently in Muslim households, they wipe first and then wash with water, then use a dedicated towel to pat themselves dry. That seems like a better solution — at least one I’m willing to experiment with.

LOL...well I can confirm at least one of those.

Yeah, I’m going to have to spring for one eventually. Maybe that’ll be my Christmas present to myself LOL.

...It’s a meme. Sometimes we’re just making jokes, friend.

Touché, but other countries seem to have figured out a way to make it work. Again, I’ve never used one, but I’m sure that has to be something the manufacturers kept in mind.

Agreed, but we also have “Dude Wipes” now, so...I guess that’s progress? Anyway, the super committed “no homo” douchebags are the ones who aren’t even using toilet paper properly, so I’d just rather pretend that segment of the population doesn’t exist.

That was a very weird and out of context part of my comment to grab onto, but whatever does it for you, I guess.

I have a feeling that a lot of the supposed stigma around bidet use in the U.S. is overblown, considering how they’re often considered luxury items and everyone secretly envies the rich and their toys. I’ve never used a bidet but if someone gave me one for free, I’d probably fall in love.

Came here to say the same thing. Hope they never ID that guy.

She’s carrying twins and not a stretch mark in sight! I’m fascinated. (On a somewhat related note, as someone who’s never been pregnant, boy that looks uncomfortable to lug around.)

This is the first I’ve heard of it... “push presents” are given after the baby is born, so I’m a bit confused myself.

Yup. I’m glad she’s so used to being in the spotlight and the comments seem to roll off of her...but I wish she didn’t have to. Same with Serena. You can be the best damn athlete in the game, but if you don’t shrink yourself for the white gaze, you’ll end up paying.

I haven’t even been watching this season, but I bet all the money in the world her “Smiling doesn’t win you gold medals” comment soured her for a lot of the wypipo. Gotta put her in her place.

Right! I just had my annual eye exam and they asked me that question...I feel uncomfortable enough telling a PCP what prescriptions I have, but an optometrist? I know side effects are always an issue, but unless I specifically mention a weird medical issue involving their area of expertise, I just feel like my privacy…

Man, I know this feeling, except it never happens at the pharmacy, only when I make a doctor’s appointment. I never see the same doctor — my family uses a hospital system that has centers all over the region, so I just go to whoever’s first available — and every time they ask, “Are you taking any medications?” I start…

OH MY GOD, yes, you’re right. It’s Cosmo. I really need to check out one of these other ones.

Thanks!

I’m nonbinary and have gender dysphoria related to my period, so yeah, it bothers me. I can grit my teeth and ignore it most of the time, but I’m 25 and have only been tracking my period consistently for the last year because I’ve wanted to avoid thinking about it as much as possible.
