Super disappointed and the ballot guides argument for and against focused on very stupid points and not on anything to do with facts about transwomen and girls, not highlighted the discrepancies of greeting girls and women different from boys and men.

    I actually really struggle with that, and hate the feeling of water up my nose hence the plugs. Some white water kayakers I know don’t bother, but most do because if you’re play boating or running something class 3 plus the torrent of water is being forced up your nose and that sucks. If I’m just swimming I can manage with out nose plugs but it took me a couple of years in my late teens to get used to not holding my nose. And even still if I’m jumping from something higher than the edge of a pool/low diving board I physically hold my nose

    The only time I’ve been irked enough to make an account to comment directly on the article.

    Save you a click: Starting the article with, “Looking for a kinky Christmas gift for your terminally online gay friend this year?” And then quoting Allen with,
    “For me, toys can help you to better understand your body and learn what you like,” feels tone deaf and pretty disrespectful. You don’t have to be gay to like anal play, and to start the article with that statement is more likely to make those that are not gay, or maybe even questioning their sexuality feel shame. You could have simply left out “gay” from your sentence altogether and it would have been fine and still a reasonable statement to make, but by having “gay” as part of that sentence implies that if you’re not gay, sexual exploration is not for you- or even that if you do like anal play you must be gay. Please consider your word choices more carefully in the future.

    Printers use ink, cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK). This is subtractive colors which means all colors mixed in equal parts is black. Monitors however mix colors using light which is additive, Red Green and Blue (RGB) the presence of each of these colors results in white. So when you’re looking on your monitor it’s very likely you’re looking at an image generated in this manner. But your printer is thinking in CMYK leading to the discrepancy. You can compensate for this sometimes by changing the color profile to CMYK on some monitors- or more likely (since it’s an old monitor) in the settings of the image editing software. You may also want to consider a better printer depending on how old it is. I’d suggest looking into the settings and try printing some test pages https://www.internet-ink.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Colour-Test-Page-scaled-1.pdf see if any of the colors look particularly skewed.

    YMMV I was prescribed it 10y or so ago and it caused bad migraines for me. I would take it on my way to work and by the time I sat at my desk I had to leave because otherwise I wouldn’t be able to drive they were so bad. I’d get home wrap a blanket around my head and pass out for a couple hours. Took me two weeks to realize it was the problem. I had never had migraines before then, and now I get them, albeit pretty infrequently.

    That being said- when your body doesn’t make the chemicals you need to be stable it’s 100% okay to use store bought. Sometimes that means you take a medication for life I’ve got a few of those now and I’m much better for it. Give it a shot if it doesn’t work there are other options out there! Hope it works for you!
