If they had any sense, they would release a chocolate orange that doesn’t have milk ingredients. Too many people can’t have milk due to intolerance and allergies nowadays, and I miss being able to enjoy chocolate oranges around Christmas.
When I was about 12 and searching the local paper to learn local rent costs. I was looking with the plan that I would move out at 16 and take my sister with me so we could escape the abuse we were suffering from our mom.
As a short dude (5’ 0"), you give short dudes a bad name.
You assume you know everything about everyone, you treat people like walking stereotypes instead of treating them like actual individuals, and you refuse to even consider that people are avoiding you for your personality instead of your height. All the while, you are blaming women for a problem that, even if it did exist as much as you insist, would largely be perpetuated by the men who run the clubs, not the women who can get in for free and usually just want to be left alone so they can dance with their friends.
Are there a lot of areas where we face actual discrimination because we fall outside standard height considerations? Sure, I can think of several. None of them have to do with whether I get into a club. And you don’t make your case by using discriminatory language and being a misogynistic ass.
I can guarantee you that your attitude is hindering your social life far more than your height. There are plenty of women who love short men, but so many of them end up needing to constantly worry about their man’s ego that they don’t think it is worth it.
In other words: men like you, no matter the height, are the reason women choose the bear. Grow up, solve your own insecurities, and stop assuming that you know what is going through people’s minds every minute of the day.
While you are correct that it will likely be expensive, it is important to note that Descovy is an existing PreP pill that Gilead makes. So the cost of the new shot is yet to be determined, but the company has been criticized for the cost of their current PreP medication option.
It is also important to note that anyone with insurance in the United States will pay nothing, as the Affordable Care Act requires insurance to cover all PreP medications at no cost to patients. The pricing will only affect those who have no insurance at all, which makes this criticism all the more important to help this new medication reach those who would be the worst affected if they were to contract HIV.
Except the major increase in demand isn’t coming from vegan diets? It is coming from the popularity of the nuts as a snack in the Asia-Pacific region, with India being the largest consumer nation. These countries have been and are still the largest importers and consumers of the nuts, and their demand has been steadily increasing over the last few years. While some demand comes from alternative milks and cheeses, the overwhelming majority is strictly for traditional foods and snacks.
We can call out human rights abuses without demonizing a group that is more likely to buy from reputable sources that don’t participate in human rights violations. I see a lot of people quick to blame vegans for any increase in demand for a plant product, even when it is factually untrue or at best heavily biased.

Obviously this is a joke, but there used to be an important reason we kept the flags wrinkled like that: it meant that you never knew who had bought a flag at a Pride event and who brought one they owned.
This meant that people who were ‘caught’ at an event by friends or family they weren’t out to, they could say they just bought the flag to support the cause. It also meant there was no way to tell who had been there longer than others.
I got mine after top surgery, but I did not get double incision or nipple grafts. I had a small chest, so I got periaeraolar, so I only have the small scars around the lower areolar edge. The nipple ‘stalk’ was severed during my surgery, but they were not completely grafted, so my results may be different than the norm.
I actually got mine pierced for medical as well as aesthetic reasons, since my left nipple inverted after I got top surgery and kept getting irritated and inflamed when stuff would get stuck in it. I got them both pierced with no issues, and have gone about two years with relatively few issues.
However, I have been told by some cis friends that not everyone can get their nipples pierced. Some people have thinner skin on their nipples, which can massively increase the chance of migration or tearing. Some people will have their bodies reject the piercing, and previous rejections make this more likely with subsequent piercings. Shape isn’t always a factor, but can be in certain circumstances if the skin is very tight or inflexible.
I would recommend asking for a second opinion at a different location and see what they say. If someone else on here has a situation more similar to yours, I would definitely take their advice over mine though.
TL;DR: Top surgery shouldn’t prevent you from getting your nipples pierced, but your particular nipples may not be suited for piercing, which can happen.
Not necessarily. I have had plenty of very good chocolate that uses cocoa butter and/or plant milks like oat milk in place of dairy. Or they could make their dark chocolate orange without milk with little to no difference in taste and texture.
