  • Reminder that routine colonoscopies are a bit of a scam. Unless preceded by targeted tests or symptoms they're extremely unlikely to pick up anything more than incidental polyps, and this is at the expense of your dignity, time, and money.

  • Should probably learn first aid first, because we don't want people who only have last aid being first on the scene giving an ankle sprain last rites.

  • Spoken by someone who will never be able to shit and ejaculate simultaneously

  • I'm on both; really enjoying the art sharing community vibe of PixelFed rather than the constant influencer attention seeking shower of IG.

  • We just take it in turns.

  • I don't mind the early waking too much since that's when I get up for work anyway!

  • Sport saddles shouldn't hurt either, but they're designed to be used with cycling shorts which provide padding without the friction.

  • We both do 5 days in 4 (compressed hours) so we only have to pay for 3 days of childcare. I get to do fun things for a day with my kid, and the weekends are normal.

  • Nurse salary in the UK

  • Maybe we got lucky with our kid's sleep? I remember it was awful while my partner was on mat leave, but now they sleep through the night most nights so it's usually other shit that'll keep us up.

  • We have family time and take it in turns to have alone time. We also need less sleep than the kid.

  • I'm finding very little of this thread resonates with me. I have a toddler who I love and get to spend a whole day off with during the week. I still get to do my running, cycling, rock climbing. I get some reading done most nights.

    I've mostly sacrificed video games and social life, but rock climbing is social and a happy child is far more rewarding than games.

    There are sacrifices, but I don't feel like I've given up my life. Is this because I don't live in the USA?

  • 0mg

  • Your body has run out of mass

  • Well, anecdotally I didn't and it's going well so far. I feel like trusting the honesty of the person you're with to be open about their past should work

  • Do many people make a habit of having deep conversations with their partners' exes?

    We need to stop debating each action and pronouncement, and reject the fascists outright.
