Studies show dieting doesn't work for most of the population. Studies have shown this for the last 60 years. Sure, it works in a vacuum, but that's not where real people live.

Four weeks is still way better than average if you're in the US

The fourth factor is probably actually how poorly women are treated by doctors/ western medicine. Once all that is exposed and validated, these families are throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Easy to convince someone that doctors don't care what's best for them after several doctors mistreat them.

My husband is blue collar. He goes where things need to be fixed. Sometimes his commute is 15 minutes, but it's often 2 hours, when you factor in distance and traffic. A lot of blue collar deals with this, and yeah. We choose that shit over being homeless. His tech field laid him and everyone else off a few years ago.

Probably an old friend reaching out and saying I miss you. That someone would have me on their mind enough to reach out would be validating. Ever since I had a child I don't have the resources to pursue my own friendships anymore, but In a few years when the kids are a bit older, I hope to get back to having friends.

Yes, when I ask my toddler for space or privacy in the bathroom they often come right up and hug my leg. Like a cat but much more invasive lol

I mean tailor it or get a thicker padded bra. Small tiddie people don't own cutlets for no reason. Stuff that top till it looks like you want it

But they also don't know the not of rewatching a series for (kind of) the first time again, or rereading a book and getting surprises in it.

They probably get to drink their coffee while it's still warm and don't have to set 15 alarms starting a few days before in order to make it to a doctor's appointment on time.

Ooh, I can make a little rumble thunder happen if I do that! But why would anyone want to? And weirdly, just yawning doesn't really do it, but squeezing the eyes while yawning does. Huh.

Fucked AND that couch

I hear what you're saying about staying away from shitty people, but anyone can lie about who they are short term, and when women are wary of all men in order to stay safe, we get hit with "not all men." It's a real lose-lose.

If withholding lifesaving care is murder, everyone who hasn't donated a kidney is a murderer. Everyone who didn't donate blood this month is a murderer. Everyone who isn't an organ donor is a murderer.

No one getting an abortion is a murderer, they're just not agreeing to share all of their organs with another person for almost a year.

So yeah, I just don't understand their position. They don't call withholding medical care by sharing organs murder in any other context.
