Nicole Barrett76 said:In that conversation I mentioned earlier, one of the women stated she experiences such intense menstrual cramps that she would honestly rather see a doctor and have all her reproductive organs removed, especially since she doesn't plan on becoming a mother anyway. She said she takes two or three Ketorolacs in short intervals—maybe two or three hours apart—and that if she takes more than one within a 24-hour window, that is where the real danger to the heart begins. I am not entirely certain if she specified Ketorolac, but I would bet my life that was exactly what she was referring to.

I have dealt with stomach aches before, and I have certainly dealt with headaches. However, isn't it true that the pain feels much more intense when it strikes anywhere below the head? Once, my stomach hurt for two full days, and even now, the mere memory of it makes me feel terrible. When I have a headache, it lasts for a day or maybe a day and a half, but that stomach ache truly haunted me for two whole days.
Look, it’s nice of you to care, really—but you don't actually understand this kind of pain because you'll never experience it.
And yes, taking medication is better than just suffering through it; enduring constant pain is a massive stressor on the body. Not to mention, sometimes the cramps are so debilitating you’re literally doubling over in bed.
As for your acquaintance—what exactly do you think you can do about her menstrual pain? Most women deal with painful periods; it’s not cancer, nor is it a terminal condition. We just deal with it every single month.
Eric Patel7 said:I mean, I think Ashton Kutcher did a pretty good job, but they totally skipped over the most interesting parts of Steve Jobs' career. They left out the whole origin story of Pixar and the work on Toy Story, plus they completely ignored the era of the iPod, iPhone, and iPad—and honestly, they made Steve Jobs seem way too soft.
I felt the exact same way. We all know the standard Apple origin story—the whole "Apple spirit," the Macintosh, the clash with the guy from Pepsi... honestly, it felt like someone just took my old computer science textbooks and projected them onto a giant screen.
The truly compelling stuff—that stretch from 2000 to now, when he actually fundamentally changed how the world functions—was completely ignored.
And the pacing? It’s just a series of disjointed scenes jumping around without any real flow. It feels like a script where someone just highlighted the key phrases with a marker and called it a movie...
Paul Morales3 said:In other words, you're basically asking me not to leave any written evidence of my future disagreements with whatever you post, because apparently, that would constitute "unprofessionalism" on my part? I have zero intention of wrapping myself in a cloak of hypocrisy and pretending that everyone here is wonderful or that I agree with every single word uttered; besides, it shouldn't be my job to just stand there like a decorative tulip, pretending this digital space is all sunshine and roses just to maintain a polite facade , regardless of how much that might bother certain people.
acting all high and mighty about the fact that I can't just put her on ignore because of her moderator status, so I guess I'm just stuck dealing with her arbitrary outbursts
but she can certainly ignore you—if that’s what she was trying to get at. 🙂
It’s exactly this kind of communication and behavior that caused those scenes we had on the PŽK recently.
Congrats on becoming a moderator—though I didn't really notice you over on ZK—but that doesn't give you a license to act entitled or do whatever you want. Tone it down. Soften your approach... even velvettrucker52 doesn't pull an act like this.
Jose Williams said:What's the deal here? Is this thread following all the rules? Yep, it is. The whole day's gone by, and I've seen three of the ZK moderators hanging out on the forum all day long. Even the supermod in charge of this section was around today, along with the admin too.
Are you guys just ignoring me? Or are you actually sitting there overthinking your replies for hours? 🤷
Wait, if you were going to come crawling here to complain immediately after, why even bother requesting a partial refund? You clearly need to go get laid—maybe it'll help you clear your head... 🤔
Look, those pills aren't going to give you massive breasts—maybe half the size you expect at first, but even that disappears eventually...
I’ve got a situation. I stopped taking the pill three months ago, and for the last two, my nipples have been incredibly painful. Not the breasts themselves—just the nipples. It doesn't matter if I'm wearing a bra or not, the pain is intense. I'm planning to talk to my gynecologist about it tomorrow, but has anyone else dealt with this? Did it just go away on its own, or...?
Nathan Brooks4 said:Look, I’m just here to discuss the topic at hand—I’m definitely not the one derailing this conversation. If anyone is steering things off course, it’s the people writing entire paragraphs about me instead of actually addressing the subject! It seems like since there aren't any real rebuttals to my arguments, the goal now is just to try and shut me down and kick me out of the thread. I haven't insulted a single soul here, even if I have been targeted myself.
Here we go. You pull this same crap in every single damn post. I haven't seen a single one of these "arguments" you claim to be making. And whenever someone actually dismantles your point, you just retreat to "you have no answer for my arguments" or call everyone liars... it's pathetic.
Nathan Brooks4 is the only one from that thread I actually reported. And seriously, can someone please kick him out of these discussions? We’re trying to have a conversation here, but he just shows up to insult people and derail everything—honestly, he's more aggravating than a bad case of food poisoning...
Maybe I’m wrong, but ZK basically thrives on this kind of stuff. Honestly, trolling is part of the DNA here—I can't even imagine what ZK would look like if we weren't allowed to troll... 😢
Besides, I'm pretty sure steelskipper5, Djepika, and Tick are fully aware they're trolling and being offensive. A suspension or a ban shouldn't come as much of a shock to them...
hollowlynx66 said:I second that. I actually decided to watch this one specifically because the setting was Istanbul. But man, the portrayal of the city is totally unrealistic. It’s like they think onlymen wearing fez hats and women in burqas walk the streets, when Istanbul has modernized quite a bit in that regard. Also, that Galata Bridge thing... that caught my eye too. I actually said to the guy, "I don't get how you have to drive so slow that it takes five whole minutes to cross that bridge." 🙂 Third off, they keep showing the same mosque over and over, as if it’s the only one in the entire city, when Istanbul is absolutely packed with them.🙂
I did enjoy the taxi chase sequence. And the whole idea with the grenade and the speed of sound was pretty cool. (Though I still don't get how he could be held just a few streets away, while they supposedly crossed the Bosphorus.😕)
Overall, I suppose the movie is watchable. It has a few decent ideas, but I think they could have put in a bit more effort. Especially regarding making Istanbul feel like a real part of the story. Based on how they shot it, the plot could have been set anywhere.🤷
They crossed the Bosphorus, reached Rade, and then Rade tells them he’s taking him to the shop. Right then, they start beating him senseless—he wakes up later in the garage. Basically, they doubled back.
Drew Lee7 said:There was an interview recently with Adalbert Rebić claiming that Pride parades are offensive and annoying to Christians—yet, he simultaneously argued that Mass doesn't bother anyone. He’s wrong. There are plenty of people irritated by Mass, though he isn't lying when he says Pride parades rub Christians the wrong way. Your solution to this conflict? Ban both the parades and the Mass. What's next on your agenda?
I never said your views were irritating—I said they were degrading and discriminatory.
Every time you reply, you twist my words... yet you never actually hit the mark.
Drew Lee7 said:Let’s look at this statement: I believe a woman should exist solely for a man's sexual gratification and to handle the cooking and cleaning—even if I say it out loud, am I breaking any laws???...
Discrimination? Hardly. He isn't discriminating against women—not in any meaningful sense. This is strictly about his own personal views regarding private relationships... and since there’s no violence involved and zero incitement to violence, I don't see the issue.
Cover your head.
Discrimination isn't the same thing as violence. Your views are insulting—and frankly, demeaning toward women...
, regardless of how much that might bother certain people.
