I’m sorry if I misgendered you. I was already exhausted from the other comments that clearly state that they are men and probably was biased in that regard. But my point still stands that there is no reason to completely forego tracking apps.
Drip, the app mentioned several times in this thread, let’s you encrypt the locally stored database with a password you have to enter every time you open the app. How is that not safer than a random piece of paper?
It’s so exhausting that this thread is full of men telling women what they should and shouldn’t do while having very little knowledge about the topic.
Do people need an app for taking notes? Or a calendar?
Sure, I used to do it on paper for many years. But it’s much more convenient to track it on my phone, which I have almost always with me. That way I can check whether I’m likely to be bleeding heavily before making plans with my friends to go swimming that day or on a long hike without access to a toilet.
Also many women don’t just track the blood flow but also other data like temperature, cervix and cervical mucus. This helps calculate the most fertile days. It’s much easier to let an app do that.
He worked 500000 times as hard as other people! It’s well deserved! If you worked 168 hours a week instead of 40, and 120000 times as hard, you could easily make that, too.
It’s a relief to read that, I was having a severe culture shock there for a moment.
Does this egg-washing thing Americans do mean you have to keep them refrigerated even if they are hard-boiled? Because where I live you can keep hard-boiled eggs for days or even weeks even at room temperature. I never heard of anyone just throwing away the eggs they hide for kids. You hide them, the kids find them, you put them in the fridge, you eat them.
Edit: I don’t know if you added the part about refrigeration later or I just missed it before. That answers my question. I guess it makes sense because the shell will be porous. Wow, I never considered this affects easter customs.
Wait, do people just throw away the eggs?
I get that. It shouldn’t be necessary to do research just to be sure it’s safe. I apologise for my aggressive tone. It must be really scary and exhausting to live somewhere like that. My country is still holding up but seems to be sliding slowly in that direction too.
So do whatever makes you stay safe and feel safe.
