  • Penises are so weird. I'm glad no one can tell my level of arousal unless they are looking at my underwear or under it... Which by that point I probably am okay sharing that information.

    Tangential note - had a fun conversation with my person the other day on how I'm used to the erect penis as "normal" and how it looks funnier when it's not whereas for him it's the opposite!

  • Texas Supreme Court temporarily blocks ruling that allowed woman emergency abortion
  • This explains so freaking much about how everyone is always terrified of Canadian health care when it works decently well. (Perfect? No!) But so many of their problems in accessing specialists are identical to ours. (Most common argument I hear.)

    And it was just so much easier getting on antidepressants and switching up my birth control methods while I was in Canada than if I had tried the same in the US.

    Short Term Places for a Downpayment

    Hi all -

    I need reassurance that having 60-80k in cash isn't wild if we plan to buy/look at buying a home in the next 2-3 years. We're in a DINK lifestyle in a LCOL area and are easily saving $2k+ towards specifically a down payment per month.

    Currently: 8k is in a Vanguard account and has been invested in index funds for about 2-3 years now 10k is in treasury funds 5k is abroad in a high interest account that's locked for about another year from a grandparents inheritance 5k is in a CD making ~5% APY

    I'm thinking that as we start building up more I'll be trying to keep opening 3-12 month CDs on a regular basis as long as rates stay at 5%

    But I'm super risk tolerant and part of me sees all the cash laying around as a waste when I could add to the Vanguard account with more stocks. Mostly because until now I haven't had a real timeline for buying and it always seemed so far in the future that keeping it in stocks made sense.

    Can someone help me think through what I'm giving up with both options? 5% isn't bad for now but I don't think rates are going to stay so high forever either.

    why do i constantly oscillate between having an a) intense work ethic where i consistently work hard and manage money wisely or b) pure gluttony and hedonism where i spend freely and accumulate debt
  • I like everyone's answers here.

    1a. Definitely take at least some consideration of what your mental health looks like over those periods. It could be a symptom. (Not that you won't sadly still need coping strategies regardless. Mental health issues just suck.)

    1b. Do you have a career where there are seasonal variations in workload? Are coworkers or family or friends potentially influencing your spending behavior?

    1. You've already heard of YNAB. (And it's like only 10% a cult? 😂) I think it could be a useful tool for you. Since you seem to hate the minutia keep your categories dirt simple. Debt payments, short term fun, fixed expenses. Break them down only so far as they are useful for YOU. YNAB will get pretty good at guessing categories for you these days.

    2. Consider what you are working towards when you are in a working hard phase. What makes those savings worthwhile? Afterall - money is only a means to an end. I find it easier to save and consider giving up buying that $800 pair of new powder skis I really don't need if I know it's to go on an epic honeymoon in a year. Personally and maybe not as easily applicable, I've had an issue of saving too much... so I also gave myself the list of goals I was saving for and what timeline I wanted for them and I avoid saving more than I need for those things over that time. (Retirement, wedding, down payment, honeymoon, student loans.) After that set amount... all the money is mine to do what I want with so I can spend it on what makes me happy without guilting over it.

  • Medical school is rough
  • I have a question out of curiosity... Is it supportive in a good way or do the ab and back muscles start to weaken with time if you don't make an effort to strengthen them?

  • Reminder not to let your buns chew metal grates.
  • 🤣 ours is having a rough time because the vet trimmed the other incisor while she was at it and she was missing one that was growing back because it had broken (?) (her jaw and teeth haven't lined up well since a jaw injury a year ago).

    Nothing critical care for a week won't fix. She's trying so hard for her hay

    Reminder not to let your buns chew metal grates.

    Noticed right before going to bed that Blossom managed to break off her tooth near the root and it was just hanging horizontally out of her mouth, saber tooth rabbit style. Maybe partially due to the fact that her bottom incisor has been pulled out due to fractures about a month ago and is still regrowing. (Yes, the vet is a little exasperated at us.)

    She's not sedated and getting X-rays. Thankfully vet could fit her in because non of the emergency clinics had a rabbit specialist available last night and I decided she didn't look in pain and was able to eat her greens and pellets so I waited 8 hours after noticing (11 hours after it would have happened) to take her in.

    ... I had checked over the enemy rabbits on the other side of the pen when I realized she'd gotten out of bedroom and had access and didn't think to check her over immediately.

    Rump Scratches

    Hello fellow rabbit people - has anyone else noticed that if they scratch on their bun's lower back that said bun starts grooming? It feels exactly like when a dog's hind paw starts shaking except she turns and grooms her shoulders. It's super strange. She doesn't seem to hate the scratches (above her tail, in a region she's always a little scruffy in because I don't know if she can reach as well back there in her old age). It's just the strangest thing and I don't know if it's a sign of something.
