Just set it up with an up arrow and a down arrow. 😁

I'm working in Word 2007 using Equation—trying to create an arrow with two numbers stacked vertically underneath it. Any idea how to pull that off? 🙂

There aren't any fractions involved or anything... just two separate numbers sitting one above the other under the arrow. 😁

You're pregnant. That was just a false period. 😁

Jason Morgan said:I am fairly certain that years of popping painkillers have absolutely wreaked havoc on my stomach; I’ve become sensitive to just about everything these days. On top of that, my ovulation has started becoming significantly more painful, so I'm starting to think I have no other choice but to switch to the pill.

Man, I’ve been on Yaz for over a year for that exact reason and my periods are still painful. Obviously, it’s nothing compared to how they used to be, but it’s still not pleasant...

gentlesailor25 said:One time, my ovulation pain was actually worse than my period!🙏 Usually, it's just a light ache, but that was different. And honestly, it seems like it's been getting worse lately. When I was younger, I didn't even realize what ovulation was.🙄

Anyway, I feel like I’d gladly trade these intestinal cramps for that kind of brutal pain instead.😁 Because at least then, if things got really bad, an ER doctor could actually do something for me. As it stands, what am I even supposed to do for this?!😢

edit
Does anyone have experience with whether antispasmodics actually help with this?

Don't. Sitting on the toilet while period cramps tear you apart—covered in cold sweat and seeing black from the pain—is anything but pleasant. Honestly, at times like that, my bed seems like a much better place to be.

On another note, my mother won't stop protesting because I take birth control. To her, it’s just "unnatural"—apparently, her periods stopped hurting once she had kids, and she was the same age as I am now when she gave birth. It doesn't cross my mind to have children just to make the pain stop.

Chemistry FTW.

Options—Edit options—Messaging & Notifications—uncheck the last one. 😉

I wouldn't know—I don't bother messaging just any random person on these forums—but it's entirely possible your explanation is spot on. 🤷

I'm trying to figure out why, when I'm messaging someone, the subject line ends up with a thousand Re:Re:Re:Re..?

It’s fine enough when I'm dealing with the moderators—that’s expected—but seeing it happen with regular users is a different story. Honestly, it's getting a bit grating... 😢

You can't stay sober while reading this garbage from the moderator. 😬

And what do you get in the sequels? Just one 🙏

Only 20+. 🥳

As for anything else, I'm good. 😳

Give them to me instead; I need them for dick pics. 🥳

jadetiger962 said:Look, when you're issuing a warning, there's an option at the bottom that says, "Save a copy of this message to your Sent folder." You can just uncheck that box. 🙂

I always made sure to keep those infraction notices. Someone reaches out to me a week after getting flagged, and I'm sitting here looking through my history like—who, what, why?...

And then they reply to the message but delete my original quote. 😠

EDIT: Increased inbox size. 🙂

To be fair, Paul Green31 has actually contributed three constructive posts here.

On the other hand, your contributions seem to boil down entirely to demanding moderator removal, while being about as subtle as a sledgehammer in claiming that you and gentlehound9 are the absolute reigning champions of trash, the ultimate purveyors of garbage, and how you both handled moderation with zero grace.

Unlike you and Paul Green31, gentlehound9 and I have actually posted and participated in threads on Reddit—and honestly, we've been in more threads than Simple thinks, covering everything from Reddit itself to various sub-sections and chats. But then again, as a moderator, you really should know that—though it seems you don't even track the threads in your own PDF, at least not until someone points it out.

Just make Mulica a moderator... I’d love to see what kind of circus that would trigger.

briskmoose90 said:Look, folks, we aren't the ones posting or removing mods. We don't even suggest them. Occasionally, someone might put their own name forward, but even then, there’s no guarantee it will be considered, let alone approved.

I'll say it again: I have certain people in mind—specifically one person who I know would be an excellent moderator for this particular topic—but I'm keeping that to myself. I should also add that I have nothing against the current moderation team. I don't know Simple, but analoglynx23 knew me well enough to issue warnings, ban me, delete my posts, and shut down discussions if I got out of line. Aside from the fact that he's been sleeping on the job for the last few months when he wasn't supposed to be, I have no complaints. Though, even that complaint is pretty serious.

And that’s precisely the issue. Nobody even noticed Simple was a moderator because she hasn't actually done anything lately. Then you've got analoglynx23, who has also been MIA for months. It's led to the PDF falling apart more than ever before.

And no, we don't need a "cheerful" person. We need a firm hand.

briskmoose90 said:@Paul Green31. Yeah, exactly. I’ve already pointed out examples of these kinds of problematic topics in other Trash pdf files. So, there you go. This is how they work.
Don't get me wrong—I'm not saying this topic defines the Trash pdf as a whole or that it's the only thing worth reading. QUITE THE OPPOSITE.
I just think deleting it is completely pointless. It's clearly just a result of being unoriginal and exhausted from constantly having to defend everything. It isn't fair.

EDIT: Kate Foster12, look, chill. Sometimes Trash is actually funny, sometimes it's just sad. I don't know why you're making such a massive deal out of it.

In my view, deleting those two threads—one of which has been locked for months—is just a reaction to moderator rage, triggered because I called her out for the fact that nothing actually works over there. It's cute that she reminisces about the good old days when those three were chatting away, but those days are gone. You have to adapt to new changes, new users, and new topics... something she clearly can't handle.

I don't understand why she clings so desperately to that moderator position when the section is effectively dead. What is she holding onto? Just hand the reins to someone who actually makes sense for the job.

Personally, I'd rather see velvettrucker52 moderating Reddit than Mulica... velvettrucker52 would actually know how to maintain order and has the authority to enforce the rules she sets. Mulica lacks that.

Paul Green31 said:I wasn't comparing Reddit to a joke site; I was talking about how the moderators impact a specific sub-forum.

To use my analogy, it would be like appointing MathBaby as the moderator for the Religion board, where Microsoft is their god.

If people can't grasp my point, they should probably rethink whether they actually understood the definition of trash they read. Because understanding a definition and actually living by it? Those are two very different things.

No, so you used a PDF of jokes as a comparison—which are supposed to be funny—to imply that Reddit is just as much of a joke and deserves that kind of moderator? 😕

Look, if you can't contribute anything of substance to the thread, please don't just spam it.

This is already the second time someone has compared Reddit to a collection of jokes.

Reddit isn't synonymous with funny.

So, I’m asking the users who don't grasp that to refrain from making these comparisons—stop spamming the thread and making it trivial with your comments.

At this rate, Reddit will soon be merging with the joke sections, since new users clearly think anything remotely amusing qualifies as trash. Look, I hate to disappoint you, but I highly recommend checking out the top thread on defining "trash." Maybe, just MAYBE, you'll finally realize that being trash doesn't mean everything is a joke. ☕

The admins have been aware of this thread from the very start—and since we’re heading into day three without having moved an inch from zero, I honestly don't know how else to read this, other than as straight-up ignoring us.

Just one more question for Simple—if you really didn't take this personally and were just "cleaning up the PDF," why did you delete the threads about Facebook and Reddit, yet leave that old chat topic untouched?

Does an old locked chat thread have some kind of special status? Any specific significance regarding the PDF? 😕

hollowtrucker77 said:Nobody is actually ignoring you just because you didn't get an immediate reply
and please, let's keep the sarcasm to a minimum, because it really doesn't fly in this space

Fine, so what are you actually going to do about it? Or are you perfectly fine with things staying exactly this way?
