My partner was like that when I got a dog because he thought he would need to compete with the dog for my love. We were in our early 20s and I'm sure being raised by the toxic narcissist of a parent didn't help. He got over it fast after I asked why the fuck would he ever think that way.

    And FYI for any woman out there, these are better for health, as they don't blast bacteria from back to front. There was a study about it that I read several years ago, which I kept in mind when choosing a bidet. I went for a handheld one, too, and it's great.

    I'll tell you how. My company has been moving to solutions developed and/or hosted in EU for privacy reasons, but at the same time continue to go deeper and deeper into M$ ecosystem because the management believes XYZ product sounds cool and/or works better than the alternatives we're using. I'm just waiting for this circus to fall apart.

    Lol, we used those little transmitters that you plug into the cigarette lighter plug until several years ago in a mid 2000s car, and they're still sold and used by people. The funniest thing that happened was when we were overtaking a semi who had one of these, but with a stronger transmitter, so for a couple of seconds we were listening to the guy's random turbo folk music.

    It's short for Polycystic ovary syndrome. It's an endocrine disorder that in some women causes cysts to form on ovaries, hence the name, but it's not a universal symptom. It can affect liver function (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or NAFLD for short), increase cholesterol, cause insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, irregular menstrual cycle, pelvic pain (especially if a cyst ruptures, that can cause extreme pain), mood changes, make it difficult to get pregnant.

    Edit: ah yeah, and it can cause weight gain/obesity. One of the hardest/impossible areas to lose fat in is belly. It tends to cause a lot of self-esteem and body image issues.

    I have hirsutism due to PCOS. I'm waxing that mofo of a mustache even though it hurts like a bitch. Ain't got no time to waste on shaving every day lol. It's the harmless part of having PCOS, and kinda wish it was my biggest concern about it, lol.
