Ok, I give up. Resubscribing. I had no idea “1% vagina” and “fish head wife” had even happened. You are doing the Lord’s work, CHH.

Lmaoooo and I feel extremely bad for this JP Morgan lady and wonder if he just picked the hottest executive he knows so that the erotica feels plausible.

And while I understand defamation lawsuit is very hard here but Daily Mail treating JPMorgan exec and like paparazzi treating Britney Spears feels extremely sus to say the least

Future new business: selling 1% vagina microbiome samples.

Could be a thing. How many of us are attempting to mod our GI microbiome via diet and supplements? Why not vaginal suppositories to "improve" vaginal flora? I miss the old days, when we all treated the vaginal flora as a rolling garden of loveliness - or didn't think about it much at all...

Yes, be a Kat person.

Re the acidic vagina thing - I remember people trying to go “alkaline” in general at the same time I remember an outsize amount of talk about bleaching underwear; I also recall boric acid strongly coming into vogue and that does affect vaginal pH, just turns it down typically. Anyway, the healthyhooha subreddit doesn’t seem to show any kind of trend like that.

I remember the Alkaline Water thing, which ranked up there with the Oxygenated Water thing for stupidity. Don't remember women trying to make their vaginas go "alkaline" though. My wife doesn't either. She reminded me that for decades a generally acidic vaginal pH has been associated with fewer yeast infections.

Yes. I am in environmental chemistry and had to keep the lips zipped about “alkalinity” around health-minded family members lest I become dreadfully pedantic.

I’m imagining Lorna Hajdini at work saying, “see none of that was true” and her coworkers being like, “that’s too bad, we thought you were awesome for five minutes”

It is very sad that Erika Kirk watched her husband get shot and killed by a maniac. That shouldn't have happened and I'm glad the murderer was arrested and is being prosecuted. At the same time, she leads an organization I don't like that has a political agenda I would not like to see enacted. Other than that, she is not of interest to me and has no importance in my life and I'm content to just leave it there. The rest of the Internet, it seems, cannot.

Iirc the alkaline food trend was for general health benefits, not specifically vaginal health. Of course, I wasn’t particularly paying attention to the specifics at the time because it seemed like bullshit, so I could be wrong

Re 1% You did say your husband makes spreadsheets of what he likes to eat

I'll see myself out

Re. the JP Morgan story. Are schemes getting stupider or is it just that we hear about all of them because social media? The only way this debacle makes sense for me is if someone is paying this guy a lot of money to completely wreck his cred with this amazingly dumb plot as a way to misdirect from a different scheme that they're pulling. Otherwise, feels very Trump Iran War in its ineptitude...

I’ve never seen a real live human whose actual face without cosmetic surgery fell into the uncanny valley, until that JP Morgan weirdo. It’s very unsettling.

I feel dumber having read this. Good thing I never developed a Twitter habit.

Regarding the J.P. Morgan thing- wasn’t there some witness who heard something in the hotel room (that could have been consensual)?

Or did that turn out to be bs too?
