Kamala Harris Does Not Deserve the Endorsement of “The Nation”
  • This only makes sense if the alternative would actually oppose the genocide... They will not ... So then you're getting the genocide plus all the other problems.

    Diet-related diseases are the No. 1 cause of death in the US – yet many doctors receive little to no nutrition education in med school
  • As a GP, I wholeheartedly agree. I have a minor in nutrition before studying medicine. I try to talk to my patients and they brush me off. My clinic has a dietitian, and they NEVER want a meeting with her. The only exception has been pregnant women.

    I still do agree some more teaching could be helpful, but it's likely only helpful in POST-graduate training, like, family medicine. Future surgeons, for instance, aren't likely to need depth on nutrition, and the degree is already very loaded without much room to trim.

    HULK YEET
  • The joke is that Tony depends on exploiting lower class, working people. Hulk is suggesting investing in society, the poor. The next panel is Hulk launched into space (which happens for a different reason in the movies), because Tony doesn't want Hulk to be listened to, because Tony would lose money.

    Oral sex struggles
  • Ah I see. I wouldn't have any recommendations for addressing smell - one shouldn't try to change the smell or taste of a vagina, in particular.

    For taste alone, if you've bathed before, the clitoris and penis shouldn't taste much different than any other skin - but maybe you find mouth kissing difficult too? I'm not sure from your original post.

    Texture again, shouldn't be too different from other parts of the body, but if you find all of it overwhelming it may just not be very accessible.

    Similar to learning what your partner finds enjoyable, over time you might find the pleasurable aspects override the overstimulation. But, my training isn't specific to autism, so you could certainly correct me if you don't find that's true for yourself.

    Oral sex struggles
  • Well, nothing very groundbreaking, honestly. Her preference is most any kind of contact with labia (she finds they're not as sensitive), which would mostly include licking (mostly midline, from introitus towards clitoris) or lip to lip, like you're kissing the labia like a mouth.

    For direct clitoral simulation she prefers very gentle kissing of it, and eventually gentle licking (either flicking or circular around it) or sucking.

    But again, the pace, intensity, pattern is very individual.

    I might suggest just looking up oral sex guides and then seeing if any parts of them work for you.

  • I can't offer an autism perspective, but I will say that figuring out what you like and don't like is a very common issue and unique to each couple.

    My own wife does not have autism, but also is extremely sensitive and cannot handle anything but very delicate sensation. Over time we've just figured out through experimenting what works for her. I don't think anyone could have taught us - it was something we had to figure out together.

    So, my long reply short: you are right. Try things out and see what works. As long as you are listening to each other you are on the right track.

    I was the poster girl for OCD. Then I began to question everything I’d been told about mental illness
  • I'm glad you took the time to respond, even if I'm not sure how many dive into these comments.

    I agree completely with you. I read the article and thought, I really don't think anyone in healthcare really truly thinks the diagnoses are simple illnesses with an organic cause anymore. But the frameworks are helpful to direct what treatment options we have/as guidelines.

    I find patients themselves want a name for what they're experiencing, even if it is an approximation of what's going on with them.

    But at the end of the day, it's no surprise people are depressed, anxious, etc when there are so many fundamentally broken things in the world.

    Question to the ones that fully left Reddit
  • The discussions were what really made Reddit, to me. I could see an article or piece of information anywhere, but Reddit often had decent commentary that helped add context and perspective.

    Wasn't perfect, of course, but in general it felt like it really added to the experience.

    Lets talk about physics of the speed of spaceship
  • Agreed. It feels the same to me as the fighters in Star Wars Squadrons, which is familiar and comfortable.

    I can appreciate a goal of realism, but it definitely feels like a hard balancing act with fun. I mean... When I get shot in the game I don't actually die either, haha.

    Take a seat!
  • This doesn't happen in the movie, but the joke is about a version where Anakin takes the seat that's already occupied by a hologram. It's as if he's sitting in his lap. It's just silly.
