Yeah, by stuffing moss and bundles of cotton in their knickers. If it's a choice of that or stocking up on pads when I'm raiding Tesco, I know which one I'd rather

Court documents naming Epstein associates are to be made public this week? Who do you think will come out the worst?
Anybody important will have had their name removed from the list already. After seeing the fallout for Prince Nonce of Nonceville, nobody else wants to be tarred with that brush

Perhaps a bit of a tangent: I'm pegnant and have been craving something all day but couldn't work out what I wanted. I tried pico de gallo, bacon, mango. No luck. Eventually I realised: it was tap water with ice. That's all I've wanted all day

Blood donations have fallen to catastrophic levels. Experts say young people need to step up.
It's always young people who're asked to step up. Again and again. Save the environment whilst corporations fuck us; care for the aging population; buy a house and contribute to the economy; fight in proxy wars over a politician's pride. And now it's give blood whilst still being charged extortionate medical costs. Why don't the older generations step up for a change?

I have a sick (but not dying) sister with 3 kids. As far as work are concerned, I visit every fortnight to help out and rush up to see them every time there's an emergency or they need childcare.
I haven't seen the sister in four years and only see my nephews twice a year when they visit Grandma but work don't need to know that

I can't speak for all women but I think I'd try to have enough of both food and pads/tampons if I could. Pads are much more efficient at absorbing than a bundle of cloth and are cleaner, so wouldn't cause thrush and other infections
Pads and tampons are also good first aid supplies - I think tampons were first invented to plug bullet holes

Your washing machine could be sending 3.7 GB of data a day — LG washing machine owner disconnected his device from Wi-Fi after noticing excessive outgoing daily data traffic
I've been looking for a breast pump recently - I'd like electric so I don't have to manually pump. All of the ones I could find in the shop required an app to connect to the device. Why? What purpose does that serve me? I'd have to make an account, accept needless permissions and cookies and give them access to very personal data about my boobs and milk production - I went with a manual one instead

What's the most absurd thing you've seen someone refuse to do because of toxic masculinity?
Someone couldn't ever admit that he was wrong to a woman, particularly not to a girl.
So I said, 'why did you buy the American sliced cheese, you hate all of the additives?' and he refused to believe that there were additives. I litterally pulled out the American cheese and read the ingredients list out, then compared it to our usual cheddar, which just listed milk, but he refused to admit that a teenage girl knew more than him.

What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for?
I often see people say to buy the expensive toilet roll but I always go for the low end of the midrange rolls. I don't need 4ply, scented, quilted shit, I just need two pieces of paper stuck together.
There is a balance, you don't want to get the 1ply stuff you'd find in a stingy office. But just look at the label and price-per-sheet
(If you can afford it, buy a year's supply in bulk from the company)

Also, I'm sorry to say but I think the vast majority of people would be boring. We all have 1 or 2 interesting things happen to us in our lives but the humdrum of taking a shit and sleeping for 8 hours would get old fast

Not necessarily. Speach and language develops at different rates in kids and I can totally see a moderately advanced two year old using a complete simple sentence.

My 'resolution' this year was to be ruder to people. I've spent my whole adult life feeling obliged to be chronically nice and polite at all times. It's definitely the right position to take generally but sometimes a little bit of rudeness is warranted. I don't have to let old people at the bus stop talk at me rather than with me; I can tell them to fuck off if they're being bigoted or obnoxious. I don't have to let the pharmacist condescend to me when I was right about my prescription being ready; I can say 'I told you so', no matter how childish it might be.
The I-don't-give-a-fuck attitude has done wonders for my mental health
