According to the stuff I've read, PCS lasts for a short while. Mine's more like there's a threshold where if I breathe any deeper than that it'll "click" and hurt, but it's literally just a moment's sharp pain then everything's fine.

I am also curious to known what, if anything, the forum thinks of me

I thought you had been here longer than you have.

I only think good things about you. Except you smell a bit like Eschargot

And me?

you're all made out of kitty tacky

Is there a name for a sudden, sharp pain in your chest where it feels almost like your pleura sticks for a moment? It's not Precordial Catch Syndrome, it resolves the instant it "unsticks" rather than lingering for a couple of minutes. Pretty sure it's not neural but something physical, because I can put it off with shallow breathing until I take a big breath, then it does a sort of painful click. It's not in a joint either, it happens anywhere on my chest.

Google's failed me here, it keeps telling me it's PCS, fluid buildup with infection, pleuritis, or that I'm straight up either having a heart attack or emphysema and none of those symptoms match.

Sounds slightly similar to Gas that I sometimes get, recently actually.  Try taking some Gas-X, drinking water, and taking a long warm bath with a pinch of salt.  I also drink a ton of coffee.  Also eliminate soda/carbonation from your diet for a bit.  It can build up BAD in your stomach and chest area.  A tiny gas bubble under the sternum can feel like someone jabbed a rock between your ribs.
EDIT: Obviously, stress makes it all worse.  It's downright AMAZING what things stress can do to the human body.

I don't really know you all that well, but I did appreciate that 2:22 AM recommendation you posted a while ago. That was a fun game.

And me?

You're cool, for much the same reasons as Max.

I'm sure there's an answer for this if I look it up on Google, but I ain't using Google for this:

Why are long socks, especially once you're up to the thigh-high lengths and greater, considered to be a "girl's" thing? Where did the relation between long socks and femininity come from? Even the opaque black ones are labelled as "women's".

I think because of the AT field generated with a short skirt; it emphasizes the fleshiness of your thighs.

Not that it necessarily should be that way.

Because fetishiation. Women's legs being considered sexy leads to fetishation of women's stockings.

Maybe also related: high/leg socks as warmth clothes during winter falling out of use during the 20th century, meaning they no longer are commonplace items of clothing for men. Women still wanting to/having to cover their legs in combination with the above means that they become normatively seen as womanly.

Women's fashion has just been longer running on the "conceal everything!" side of the spectrum, since for some reason, our ancestors felt that seeing a bit of skin would drive men into horny frenzies.

Its an attache to toxic femininity.


Nevermind that men wore full pantyhose for centuries.


Like anything fashion related, the people pushing it have bullshit agendas.  Blue-jeans have stayed popular for a very long time because of their practicality.  Still, you have "girl cut" jeans, specifically to illustrate female curvature, even though this is 100% antithetical to the purpose of jeans. (no-nonsense work clothes for doing manual labor in)

I don't even have an opinion (a stance that has cinematically gone well for me).

Pockets are good, I support pockets for dresses.
And the sewed-off pockets you sometimes find?  End those.

Sawed-off pocket shotguns

They're fun-sized!

Mm, pockets. What if we put pockets in the tall socks, too

[scriver]

Well we fucking oughta

And in our long underwear too

And why not in our pockets. You know what was the most useful thing in my bag? The tiny pocket for pens and stuff that was on the larger side pocket. You literally can never have too expontiated a pocket
