  • I don’t think you’re a misogynist, but I think the picture can certainly come off that way. Here are a few reasons why:

    1. It’s misrepresentative. Silicone lip implants are not common and obviously never that big. No woman has these; it’s an exaggeration that has the effect of equating women with something ridiculous that doesn’t exist. (The common injectable lip fillers are temporary and don’t remain long after death.)

    2. No one else gets to decide for someone else what makes any procedure – and in this case breast augmentation – valid vs fake. Breast cancer survivors, trans people, and other patients getting reconstruction to live happy full lives would rightfully have something to say if you are implying that part of them is fake.

    We all alter our bodies in all kinds of ways, both temporary and permanent, in an attempt to look and feel better about ourselves.

    1. The picture focuses only on depicting a woman, even though men get calf implants, veneers, nose jobs, chin implants, etc. The image isn’t being fair or insightful, but it is ridiculing and criticizing women who are different in certain ways; these are ways that men are different too, making the message hypocritical.

    I appreciate the respectful nature of the discussion and hope it continues.














  • The company is Qardio. The device is the QardioArm.

    This exact thing happened to me yesterday. I woke up, tried to use the blood pressure monitor for the first time in months, and was signed out of my account in the app with no way to log back in because the server is now offline. I went to reddit and tried their suggestions, but nothing worked.

    I looked for an open-source app that might be able to interface with the QardioArm, but no luck. It’s just junk now. I can’t even access my blood pressure history in the app. I knew this was a risk when I bought it, and I did get around 4 good years out of the product, but what a damn waste.

    Make this illegal already.





  • To be fair, the iOS app store will show the top 200 paid games, and that’s it. There are a bunch of categories for games, but ‘paid’ isn’t one of them; there is no other way to see or filter just paid games. It’s always sucked and Apple has never fixed it.

    I honestly don’t know how any developer is supposed to be successful on there with a paid game, because if it’s not already in the top 200 list, most people will never be able to see it in the store without specifically searching the name.
