Could you explain what you mean by calling it an oppressive custom? Personally, I love being with someone. It has the upside of me getting to enjoy companionship with another human being, and it doesn’t feel like handcuffs. Sometimes I have to do things that I wouldn’t do otherwise for the sake of my partner’s feelings/wellbeing, but isn’t that the case in all relationships? Romantic, familial, platonic, or otherwise? If my partner wants me to do something I’m truly uncomfortable with (like allowing them to track my location), and we can’t agree on a compromise, I’d just end that relationship and find someone I’m more compatible with.

It’s pretty common for people to write greentexts where they pretend to be the other person in a scenario and write from their point of view in order to point out how strange the behavior in the original post was. It’s intended to be parody, not something you actually believe.

An invalid turn would be something like placing a move on top of an already-filled square or outside of the 9 grid spaces. It seems obvious to a human that you can’t do these things, but computer bugs have a tendency to do things you don’t expect. And yes, passing a turn doesn’t provide an advantage, but I listed it because it’s still technically cheating.

look up what an IUD insertion is like without anesthesia

Yep. When I got my first IUD in, that was some of the worst pain I had experienced in my life. Felt like I was getting stabbed in the cervix, and the cramps afterwards were so bad I puked. Totally worth it, but I wish they had prepared me more beforehand (said I would feel a “pinch”).

I’ve used hormonal IUDs since I was 16, and they’ve fantastic. You can just have one inserted and then not have to worry for the next ~6 years. Completely stopped my period too (came back briefly before I got on T, then T stopped it again, and now it’s still gone even after being off T for several years). I can not overstate how amazing not having a period has been for my mental health.

When I first tried to get one, my doctor tried to convince me out of it because I was “too young” and hadn’t had a child yet. I’m so glad I stayed firm in my decision and got a gyno who would work with me.

Placing moves in invalid locations, passing a turn, or making multiple moves on one turn?

imagine that lingering post testicle injury pain

yeah, that’s not really helpful for me :/

Wow, my bf’s name is Kenny and we love having gay sex, so this is perfect for me!

Me too! Although I’ve mostly lurked this whole time until I finally made an acc this month
