I've never hated a cow more in my life than Fanny. The most I can say about her without being banned for a-logging is that her level of degeneracy and pickme-ism actually fucking astounds me, I seriously never thought women could be so disgusting. Fanny, if you're reading this, I sincerely hope you take this as a compliment because that just demonstrates how low your fucking life is that this must be your one and only achievement. I always wonder about cow's personal lives and I wonder what her life was like to shape her like this. God I wish I knew what her family dynamics are like and how she interacts with people.. they probably avoid her for her repulsive aura.

A thread about being afraid of the internet.

Through the years and talking with other anons on this website I've noticed a pattern of being afraid of the internet or constantly wanting to disappear from it. The internet can be pretty scary, from data breaches to online cancel culture and doxxing, there's plenty of reasons why someone may want to be safe online and be very careful with their own information. Basic cyber security should be enough, but sometimes there's more to this genuine fear of being perceived online. To make your digital footprint as invisible as possible and scrub out anything related to you. However, this paranoia could become a compulsion. Cutting off real life people, obsessively cycling through new accounts, never letting anyone take pictures of you in case someone uploads them, and generally not using the internet like a normies would. Even here on lolcow.farm, you would be careful to omit details and not post too much. Here's some optional questions:
>Would you say you have internet paranoia?
>Can internet paranoia be good? Or could it lead to some unhealthy patterns?
>Do you have a reason to be extremely cautious? Or do you think it's a no brainier and everyone should do it?
>If you do have social media, is there a way you curate your presence to avoid it being linked to your real life self?
>Has this impacted your real life in any way? Example: harder to connect to people, some jobs requiring social media, etc
Discuss and feel free to add anything else.

Nta but why do you assume that she'd hate the woman for aborting? Imo it would be a mercy because blind kids (especially girls and women) have a higher chance of being raped since moids can get away with it.

All injuries fucking suck and are absolutely terrible but truly the worst possible and most traumatizing part of your body to hurt is the inside of your mouth. You’re not able to eat, speak, or drink, or smoke normally, you’re never comfortable no matter how much advils you take you just have to wait for it to heal itself and if it’s especially deep it’s just like you’re living in hell on earth.

I shower everyday not because I want to, at this point it's just a habit. It's just not a habit for you because you don't do it regularly nor do you have a built in association with showering = beginning the day or thinking about your teeth rotting away because you didn't brush them once. I feel like I am more productive in the day when I shower in the morning, it's not completely a hygiene thing for me, granted I have strong body odor and I don't want to wash my sheets too many times. Even when I am tired I will never skip brushing my teeth before bed or skip washing my face at this point. I can't even tell you the last time I skipped either. It's all about forming habits.

Could it be gastroparesis? I was diagnosed with GERD and when omeprazole didn't help, they said it might be gastritis, but it turned out to actually be gastroparesis. I had the nausea after a few bites thing, only thing that helped was burping until the pressure was gone or just giving up and vomiting. There are meds that can help with that if you have it. Whatever it is, I hope you feel better soon nona. GI problems are the worst.

>You have gerd and went to see a doc for nausea that bad and that's all he told you??
He noticed I'm skinny, but mentioned it's not a problem and that he assumes I've always been like that (It's true). Said there's nothing wrong with my weight (Unless I had an ED and I don't).

>In the meantime, prilosec/omeprazole is really effective for GERD and OTC, maybe try that while waiting for a proper examination.

>acid-y burny sensation, or chest pain
I tried prilosec last time, when they found I have GERD, and it actually ended up making me feel worse after awhile. At the time I was getting heart burn and alot of gas, but I stopped the prilosec and just adjusted my diet instead - no more spicy/fried/acidic foods and caffeine/alcohol for awhile. That seemed to help alot more. I haven't had these issues since. It's really only nausea that I'm experiencing right now.

I think a lot of it boils down to a huge amount of the weight being gained is water weight and goes away in the first few months postpartum. That’s why women get so swollen in the second and third trimesters. Also regarding what that other anon said: diastasis recti can be prevented and even if it occurs it usually heals within 6 months-a year. It’s not that big of a deal.

No. 2500428

>>2500380
Pregnancy weight does tend to look better than regular weight gain because it accumulates on the breasts and hips, and contrary to what is rattled on niche lolcow, fertility markers like that are generally considered attractive. Exceptions to every rule, of course.

No. 2500480

>>2500403
>diastasis recti can be prevented
it cannot. during pregnancy itself, every woman experiences it. when you see people discussing how only x% of women have diastasis recti, they're referring to abdominal separation that's still present AFTER they've given birth

Idk I don't notice a big difference after just 1. A week or so after I gave birth my abdomen started convulsing/contracting and the nurse said it was the muscles coming back together, it was interesting. This is how I learned about "progressive muscle relaxation"

>>2500428
>it accumulates on the breasts and hips
people tell that to impressionable girls to let them think they'll become prettier or more feminine during pregnancy. the same bullshit as how our faces "glow" when it's actually incredibly common to get disgustingly greasy or experience massive acne outbreaks. water weight and increased blood volume are certainly a big part of the gain and that is easier to get rid of. estrogen increases fat retention but believing fat will distribute in the most stereotypically ideal places is wishful thinking. fat goes where it wants to go which can vary between women.

Well I'm not an expert on every hosting service but in my experience different hosts are more or less reliable, have better support, and different prices. You would pay for a yearly plan depending on how much space you need for content and visitors, so a small site could use a small plan. Then you renew it. Domains can usually be purchased through the same host or connected through a different one, it's advisable to get protection with that so your information isn't displayed in the database. Domain prices vary but there are some very cheap options. You can also change this yearly or have more than one domain that leads to your site. I think big bames like google buy up every google. domain.

To create the site you create files. Your pages can be coded with extensions and uploaded in the main folder. It takes a day or two and it's online. I think in general your own host gets you a lot more space than a free host, and they cannot just delete your site at random. If you change hosts they can even transfer your site over.

If you really want to try it you can come back with questions and I'll try to help you out.

You're perhaps putting too much thought into it

I've done a similar job but honestly I dont have much to say, because it is piss easy. As an admin you wont really have any right to do much with folks' complaints, you just delegate and delegate. Dealing with your limited position there is often more frustrating than with clients, since a lot people will look up to you to help them out, but you can't.

>>2459718
Have worked trades as well and moids are not bothersome there. Have worked with mexican tier migrants and local scandies as well. Most men in trades are married, not incels. Migrants were mayhaps too friendly for my autistic taste but there were benefits to it as well, since the work was on site in the buttfuck nowhere, they would ride me to train station for the weekend and share their rich fatty southerner meals with me, so I could save money on food. The locals just generally did not care but in my specific place the boss only ever cheered on women's work lol because it was more detail oriented job and women were better at it.
I just wanna point out in general that working with moids is super chill in a certain sense, because men hate working and they will constantly take random breaks and drag you along to watch tiktoks. All of the ruse about ""hard work"" men do in trades is kinda fake. Also in the modern world it is often the case that men in trades are paradoxically of "intelligentia" class and are well versed in stuff like poetry, philosophy, classical music and cinema which is kinda funny but maybe not surprising considering a lot of digital well-paying jobs are outright immoral.
All in all, both experiences considered, in women only and male only spaces, there is no fundamental difference there. Everything depends very specifically on people involved and their personal characters. But men in trades definitely won't mock you or anything. I have experienced a lot of more creeping and sexism in academia to be honest. The only ones that I have something negative to say about are plumbers. But since they are usually soloists it doesn't matter in terms of career.
