Baking. Measuring isn't fun. I'd rather wing it.

It’s not about needing a safe space. It’s when you say something, and then someone comes by and starts picking apart one piece of what you said. Which never even relates to the conversation at hand anyhow. Or they try to “correct” you about some ridiculously minute grammar mistake/word choice. Or even better, they interpret what you’re trying to say completely wrong, and go on the offensive.

Sadly no. I guess it’s a good thing. I’m just not on any social media much now.

I came over with the initial reddit defector wave. I loved it here. You could have civil conversations, even when you disagreed with someone else. It honestly felt like the forums of the early 2000s again. Then it started getting more aggressive, and all the "well....aksually" type replies started happening. I find myself hardly on lemmy/kbin/beehaw anymore because of it.

Yes, I have never owned anything else. I really struggle to drive auto/CVT, honestly, it's so confusing for me.

Early 40s. Murica.

that's for the specific user not a sub. Kinda weird.

I believe 211 works everywhere in the US. Call them (if not call your county's health and human services). They have access to all the health and human services for your county, and can direct you to all the people that can help you. IMO it's much better than blindly calling around to different departments/services yourself. The ones here in San Diego are really helpful, and can tell you about things you don't even know are possible.

Probably depends on your state. CA (and IIRC all the west coast states plus some others) has euthanasia/assisted suicide options/laws in place.

No. Gives a bit more breathing room, so one thing probably won’t destroy me, but not enough to actually do anything with.

I’m pretty sure removing the “during pregnancy” part of the title would make it FAR more accurate.

Women historically receive less/worse treatment than men.

We wait an average of 65 minutes before receiving an analgesic for acute abdominal pain in the ER in the United States, while men wait only 49 minutes. Source

Also from the same article

women in pain are much more likely than men to receive prescriptions for sedatives, rather than pain medication, for their ailments.

I have personally experienced both, and have had my husband speak for me, after being dismissed, and got a wildly different response.

Studies show that women’s perceptions of gender bias are correct. Compared with male patients, women who present with the same condition may not receive the same evidence-based care. In several key areas, such as cardiac care and pain management, women may get different treatment, leading to poorer outcomes source

a study this month found that women are less likely than men to get CPR from a bystander, and are more likely to die.
The research, funded by the American Heart Association and the National Institutes of Health, found that only 39% of women who have a cardiac arrest in a public place were given CPR, versus 45% of men. Men were 23% more likely to survive source

I could go on and on about it, but women universally receive worse medical care.

Don’t forget the tax exemption status.
