YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

I saved this info to a file on my computer in case the Google Sheet doc goes away. Don't be passive. Take some action, no matter how small.

[–] [email protected] 80 points 5 months ago (4 children)

I don't really need the sheet, but this comment compelled me to download it anyway

Nothing stresses me out more than FOMO

If you're reading this like 5 years from now and the doc is gone, feel free to reply or DM me or the guy I'm replying to. I will probably still have it, unless I get hit by a bus or something

On that note, let me add something else in a similar fashion:

Worth noting, Patriot Front had a huge leak of data in 2022.

Patriot Front Fascist Leak Exposes Nationwide Racist Campaigns

You can download it at the following torrent address:

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:2c87816e4c81990fb25bbca43dd8d578eaa55886&dn=patriotfront&tr=udp%3A%2F%2F9.rarbg.to%3A2920&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexodus.desync.com%3A6969

I happen to be seeding this on a permanent basis. I have a gigabit uplink. Please leach and share. Expose these fucks.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Ooh.

I'm always connected with gigabit, looks like I've got a torrent to permanently seed!

Good plan. I will do the same. Although you might go back and do it periodically, because the list started a few days ago with only 150 names on it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Noted and saved. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's funny that Republicans want to force women to have babies but then also complain about women that have too many babies and refer to them as "welfare babies" but also want to defund social aid programs and not provide additional resources to foster kids and orphanages.

(I know that was a run-on sentence.)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

It all makes sense when you realize it has nothing to do with children. They just hate women who have sex and want to punish them for it.

Any document for doctors who will actually listen and not make incredibly fucking idiotic observations about completely irrelevant medical topics? Asking for at least half the population of women in the U.S. who have gone in with a legit problem and been verbally pushed aside and not listened to.

"When was your last period?"

"I came in to be prescribed anti-depressants. I have been officially diagnosed."

"Yes yes, but how is your uterus?"

"I am going to need anti-psychotics if you keep this up."

I was thirteen years old when I went to the doctor by myself because a cut on my eyelid wasn't healing. I was asked about my birth control, sexual activity, and whether I thought I could be pregnant (after saying I've never had sex) then pushed out of the examination room after NOT having my eye examined at all.

As an adult, I realize now how terrible that was and I would have done something about it if it had happened to me today. But at the time I was so embarrassed and hurt, I just pushed all thought of it away until years later.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

What the hell? That's so wack and useless. Stating the obvious, I know. Just saying I feel for your and others who may have had to deal with that kind of behavior.

The fact that this has to be a Google doc maintained by the general public, instead of just having doctors do their damn job, is infuriating.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Something makes me uneasy about this being a Google sheet, you need to use credentials to view it and someone has a log of who has accessed it..you can probably even see who's viewing it in realtime

Use an anonymous account! Or someone should host this on a website or something with higher privacy

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago

You can open it in private/incognito tab, it doesn't require credentials

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

The other side is concerning as well. This list could also be used by individuals looking to do some targeted harassment. Or worse.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Just entered it, with my Google credentials, even though I'm neither a woman nor an American. If they are going to track people who read it, let's add as much garbage data as we can (to the tracking, not to the sheet)

[–] [email protected] 29 points 5 months ago

Not all heroes wear capes. Thanks from the dystopian state of Texas, OP <3

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 months ago

The childfree subreddit also maintains a similar list, for anyone who may need it.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I'm so happy that I already see a doctor on that list. When I told her that I won't function if I get taken off my birth control because of my endometriosis and how heavy my periods are, I was told that a hysterectomy isn't something she'd consider YET and heavily implied she'd actually consider it if birth control becomes illegal. Love her.

Are these not valid questions? Serious question, don't mean to offend. I got asked the same types of questions before my doctor agreed to do my vasectomy.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 5 months ago (2 children)

My understanding is that doctors often don't just question but often refuse if they think the person should not do it. To be clear, that refusal is generally based on personal opinion, not for medical reasons.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (3 children)

My wife’s gynecologist has asked her if she wanted to get her tubes tied during all three of our pregnancies. It didn’t offend us, we have the kids we want now and she said yes this last time.

I appreciated him asking. It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s on that list.

None of those are required to be known for any other surgery. "Are you sure you want your shoulder fixed? What if in a few years you find a nice someone and want it broken again? Think of the smiles of your children when you rub this scar line!"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

Your heart is in the right place, but that's not exactly a reasonable comparison. Few other surgeries, even elective ones, permanently remove your ability to do something as major as procreation.

People should have the option to have their tubes tied without judgement, but it is not as simple a decision as repairing a damaged part of the body.

We moved hospitals for the birth of our twins to find one that was willing to tie her tubes when they took the twins out. She ended up having to have a hysterectomy for other reasons later but them being willing to tie her tubes during the c-section was a big part of our decision on doctors to see.

My mom had a hell of a time getting her tubes tied after my brother was born. She had to argue with the doctor for a while to eventually get it done. Gave her the old "What if you change your mind later?" line in like 5 different variations. The one that really angered me though when she told me the story was "What if something happens to one of your children?" Like you were just replacing a busted TV or something.

That's so awful. What a bizarre attitude. It's like something out of the Middle Ages- you can always have another, unless you die in childbirth.
