  • Yeah people get played by their biological urges and evolutionary psychology throughout the entire process. Even newborn babies are programmed to scream intermittently so that the parents are never well rested, and this is theorized to be to prevent the parents from producing another baby in quick succession who takes attention from baby #1.


















  • Upper back pain is quite unusual compared to lower back pain. Definitely worth getting checked out by a doctor when you can.

    Anyway if you are working from home try to move to a different position every 30-40 mins. I find that standing up and putting the laptop on a chest of drawers or something similar for a while really helps with stopping the pain accruing in a certain area. If that’s too painful try to be on your feet semi-frequently, like taking a bathroom break and walking around the block.

    You probably don’t want to do any strenuous exercise like pilates but some light yoga might help.

    Somewhere in the OP you mentioned NSAID’s which are what I get prescribed - the one I have is called diclofenac and it’s stronger than ibuprofen but there are even stronger ones too.


  • One of my childhood friends had a partner who discovered she was trans while they were in a long-term relationship. They tried to make it work but I think that only caused the whole situation to become messier.

    Didn’t help that both of them were living with my friend’s mother and the partner who was transitioning refused to get a job.

    Edit: Childhood friend is a woman; her ex is an MTF woman. Just to be clear on the circumstances.
