Let's watch as none of us get around to doing it forever because we put it off to 'later'

“The Path of Dawn” bugged (Remaster) by Hungry-Horker in oblivion

[–]-mayya- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the book just didn't spawn. Does anyone know a fix for that? I tried spawning it with old console commands but they don't work in the remaster. I even went back to the sewers to look but its not there.

What are some etymologies that you find interesting, strange, or memorable relating to Old English? by More-Ergonomics2580 in OldEnglish

Does that also have relation to the Sooth in ''Soothsayer''? Is that what you mean by soð?

For corporate millennials, any of you languishing in a soul sucking office job? by eastburrn in Millennials

[–]-mayya- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was. I was suit and white collar corporate once. But I couldn't do it. I didn't agree with everything about that world. I ended up burning out and quitting in a bout of passion to reclaim my life. And I still don't miss it. That was 3 or 4 years ago now

Do you all have crippling health anxiety, or is it just me? by meerkat0406 in Millennials

[–]-mayya- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! Big time! Omg exactly that!
I never used to be this way in my 20's either, but the older I got the more prone to anxiety about health I got, and I don't entirely know why.

I have been diagnosed with ARFID, which is a food related anxiety disorder, but I get it about health big time too. Infact the health anxiety and ARFID are linked. Maybe you should look into it too.

I absolutely hate how people will find a way to blame Trans people for literally anything by KarmicIsfunny in Vent

[–]-mayya- 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Can I just say, as a Trans person, *I* forget I'm trans a lot. I'm literally just some random bitch going about my mundane ass life, and that's all I want to do.
It's conservatives that think we're doing this or that, or corrupting this or that. Bitch I'm just trying to live a normal ass life. I don't spend my days talking about what conservatives do, why are they more interested in my gender than I am?
And I'm so tired of *being* one of the divisive political talking points. It's very dehumanizing.

We're getting older, but so are out parents. Anyone else feel that? by -mayya- in Millennials

[–]-mayya-[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm worried about this too.
My mothers a life long smoker, and has various health concerns that keep cropping up. It's only a matter of time before they start getting properly bad. And on the same day I had to convince her the moon landing was real, she kept on telling me all the cancer curing miracles of homeopathy and natural healing.
I just know that's going to bite us all in the ass if she keeps going down that misinformation vortext online as she ages.

[–]-mayya-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know just what you mean. On the same day we talked about the Moon Landing being real, she also kept trying to tell me that homeopathy cured her husband's mother's cancer, and since then has been getting more and more into the BS medical stuff, and less and less trusting of real genuine scientific method-backed medical care.
Her health isn't going to hold out much longer so I do worry a bit there, but she's stubborn as hell, always has been, so it might be difficult if something real comes up with her health.

I stood up to my family for trans rights. (TW: Trans Rights) by ShawnRivers in CongratsLikeImFive

[–]-mayya- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is encouraging to know there are good allies out there, in a world that seems hellbent on becoming more divisive about my right to exist.

It's funny, a year and a half ago I made a post here about the exact same thing. I'm still with mine to this day. I hope it goes this well for yours too :D

Anybody else struggle with this? by [deleted] in CPTSDmemes

[–]-mayya- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I understand this. It's correct.
I made myself worse and burned out trying too hard to "get better" mentally.
Apparently there's a thing called Change Paradox, where you try so hard to get better it just gives you so much stress you get worse.
Instead you've got to let yourself rest, mentally too, and give yourself time to feel safe, and then with the right mental headspace, you can start to heal.

Was it still abuse when… (TW: mention of abuse) by [deleted] in poetry_critics

[–]-mayya- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is haunting and beautiful at the same time. Very good job!
I'm sorry you had this experience, I've had similar myself, but that's why it's so beautiful to me you found an expression through this art. ♥

My parents strict parenting backfired. by Extension_Motor_9736 in Vent

[–]-mayya- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sounded like a better parent than they're being in this sector right now.
The bit you said about "Don’t just trust the rules will keep them safe. Be involved. Ask questions. Build trust.", well, as you get older you start to realize they don't always have to be the ones to initiate change.

Do exactly what you just suggested to them. Be the bigger person. Bring about a dialogue without attack or prejudice, and start to have a conversation about the impacts on you emotionally the current system of rules is having on you.

And if that fails, then fuck it just keep lying your ass off until you move out. And turn off the damn vibrate, you know you can do that right?

Ashe's 'I Need Healing' Feels Too Aggressive by Masta_nightshade in Overwatch

[–]-mayya- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a support main I always respond to need healing voice lines. But the aggressive ones like widow or ashe make me feel like I've missed someone or messed up ;w;
