I wrote "HELLO WORLD" and two smiley faces and a heart and someone erased it within 5 minutes :(

Of course not, because there are few to no desirable spaces that are underrepresented by men.

5’3 120 lbs here and even I feel like tubs are too small to be an enjoyable experience

Frankly, that’s disgusting. Race to the bottom attitude.

I do. The company I work for is heavily invested in the Microsoft ecosystem, so a lot of our services are .NET. When I came back here after leaving for a bit I told them it was a dealbreaker that I get a Mac or Linux instead of Windows, so I have a Mac now. I use Visual Studio for Mac pretty regularly. Now I will likely be forced to use the absolute disaster of a VM that the company provides us with (Microsoft-supplied, of course).

Lots of people live in studio apartments or similar. I live in a loft-style condo where everything is open, including my bedroom upstairs. The only proper separate room with a door to shut is the bathroom. But even if that weren’t the case, there’s a stupid bright blue LED light on the power strip behind my bed.

I doubt this is what you meant but what came to mind was Super Slide Kelly! Barbie wasn’t necessarily my first choice toy (I usually defaulted to LEGO), but I vividly remember Kelly because my mom bought her for me when I was six years old and sick with the chicken pox. She was my one bright spot from that awful week. She had a bitchin slide that (I think?) suction-cupped to the wall and you could make her slide into the tub.

Interesting. Glad I don't have a prostate then! :)

Pardon my ignorance - what does it mean to have SNP rs1983891 (what pops up when I search FOXP4 in my Promethease report) but not rs9367106? I have only rs1983891(C;C).

Yeah, I personally suspect it will be a slow death march over the course of a few years, culminating in it basically becoming 9gag.

Thanks for sharing. I also joined reddit as a college freshman (2012). I don't even remember how I discovered reddit - I want to say maybe via StumbleUpon? My trajectory is pretty similar to yours. It's pretty surreal to have a community I actively participated in for my entire adult life essentially go dark in an instant. Of course the website still exists, but it certainly won't be the same.

That's very nice, thank you :) Pros and cons of lowered inhibition I guess haha

I'm part of a lot of smaller women-centered communities on reddit - my favorite subreddits were r/MoneyDiariesACTIVE, r/FIREyFemmes, r/girlsgonewired r/adhdwomen, r/AmateurRoomPorn, r/AskWomenOver30, etc. Not all of these are explicitly for women only but they all have a majority female user base. I don't think there are equivalents in a forum-type format; I'd probably have to go to TikTok or something, but I don't care for that format so I'll probably just lose those communities for the most part.

You're right, I think I mixed up PDT vs PST
