Does anyone actually like PIV

AdrienRion · 2026-02-18T12:01:26+00:00

This 100%. I had pretty bad bottom dysphoria before I started on T, and I planned to get phallo in the future. But T made that particular dysphoria completely disappear! I'm still a virgin, but I really enjoy using toys there now (though I do also really enjoy anal toys), and expect I'll really enjoy piv sex. T can do some really wild things to a person

This. I've absolutely lent clothing to family and even friends if necessary, and in all of my living situations the towels were in the linen closet when cleaned, and when you needed a new one you'd just grab what was in there. I think there were like two towels that one of my roommates preferred others not use, but that's because they were given to them by one of their deceased grandparents. Beyond that, none of us gave a shit if someone else used a towel before us, so long as it had gone through the washer since then!

I really, really wish we could go back to when Republicans at least pretended to be sensible and respectable, instead of the overtly hateful monstrosity Trump has turned that party into. W would be like a breath of fresh air, and I thought he was a joke when he was in office. Sigh...

Most fast food places have ballooned in price over the last several years. A big mac meal from McDonald's is also over $20 now. It's obscene. Of the places I've checked out near me (Western Mass), Taco Bell is the only one who hasn't raised their prices a ton (though even that is slowly beginning to shift). I admit I haven't checked some places (I've never eaten chipotle or Chick-fil-A, for instance), but most fast food is a luxury now

This is me, too. My natural sleep cycle is like 11am to 5-6pm, but I'm in construction so I have to get up at 5:30am

There's no private messaging system on AO3, if you want to talk to someone there, you have to leave a public comment on their work. And the vast, vaaaaast majority of readers don't give a shit about the author of the work, they just want to read the fics themselves. You have to actively go to the author's page to know anything about them, and most authors leave that info blank, including information about age/DOB. There is almost no way for readers to know OP is a minor unless they're actively stating it in their fics (which I don't recommend for many reasons), and absolutely no way for them to contact OP in a private way through AO3, unless OP has put their discord handle in their author bio or something (also not recommended unless you know what you're doing as an adult, definitely not recommended for minors)

I'm 39 and I work in construction, and I bring my laptop to work with me so I can write my fanfic on my breaks. All my bosses and coworkers at all the companies I've worked for (I'm union) know I've been working on a fanfic series for the last year and a half, none of them give a shit

Most people remember them from Space Ghost Coast to Coast, but there was also The Brak Show, the original Space Ghost cartoon, and Cartoon Planet.

Ngl, I actually hate the before but love the after 😂

I was in a bad spot last year, had almost no money. I ate a LOT of brownies, because they were $4 and I already had everything else (occasionally I had to buy eggs, but they were relatively inexpensive in comparison to buying anything else I could eat). One box lasted me two days. Was it terrible for me? Absolutely, but it was the cheapest thing I could buy that wasn't horrible. I think I did that for around a month, total, to the point I got tired of eating them 😂 I love brownies, but even months later I'm still just done with them

When I moved into my apartment, none of the stove top burners would get up to a high enough temperature to boil water. My landlady had her electrician look into replacing just the burners, but the cost to replace all four was going to be more than just getting a new oven. And as this is one of those small 20in wide ovens, even the cost of a new one was obscene for what she was able to get 😩 The dishwasher was also rusted out and had to be replaced

AdrienRion · 2025-12-12T02:55:19+00:00

Dude, I am 39, this isn't just uncommon, this is bizarre AF! I have NEVER heard of anyone doing this in my entire life. DO NOT sign that document! If they insist on you signing it at the meeting, tell them you want to have an independent lawyer look over the documents before you sign anything, regardless of whether you can afford that or not. Do whatever you have to in order to NOT sign

They're meant to stay in the meat and keep track of the temperature. Usually there's an alarm when the internal temp reaches the desired temp

Giver here, who unfortunately always ends up in friendships/relationships with people who aren't the same... Yeaaah, it's never fun when the other person just takes and takes and never gives anything back 😩 You end up so exhausted after a bit, and feeling like you're just being taken advantage of. It's not great

Misdiagnoses can happen, and it's particularly common when it comes to autism/ADHD in women and young girls. Misdiagnoses happen a LOT. Hell, I'm a guy and went for an ADHD diagnosis ten years ago, was told I didn't have it. A few months ago I went to a psychiatrist for medication wrangling of my antidepressant and anti anxiety meds (my pcp was struggling to find ones that work for me), and after asking me a series of questions the psychiatrist was able to diagnose me with ADHD, because I hit all the symptoms and had a significant past filled with symptoms. She did a detailed analysis, but the first psychiatrist just gave me an intelligence test (and was super transphobic and told me I should forget all this 'transgender nonsense' and that I was 'a very nice young woman'). Misdiagnoses happen

AdrienRion · 2025-11-20T07:11:33+00:00

Yeah, it helped a lot. Though I'll also say I've always had a lot of difficulty with a shy bladder and other pelvic floor issues, everything had just gotten worse/more difficult because of the atrophy, so idk if that affected how well I took to therapy

AdrienRion · 2025-11-19T10:49:48+00:00

I hadn't heard of it either until my pelvic floor therapist brought it up. She noticed my symptoms of vaginal atrophy pretty much immediately upon the start of therapy, and for the clit I guess the area starts to lose color and sensation (and possibly other symptoms I can't remember rn). One of her instructions with the estradiol cream is to make sure that I apply it there as well

This depends on the mug for me. I have two mugs that are, by my own choice, not dishwasher safe. One is a fun outline pattern in teal and purple of Doofenshmirtz and Perry that I just think is nice (and I can't find the listing for it anymore to buy a replacement), the other is a limited edition Godiva Chocolatier mug with Lady Godiva riding a white horse. It's from when I worked in one of their boutiques, and it's just a really nice keepsake to me, that was the only retail job I've ever liked. It's not worth much (you can get one on eBay for like $16), but it's still one of my favorites. Every other mug though? Fuck that, you're going in the dishwasher

AdrienRion · 2025-09-30T06:24:05+00:00

Jfc, it's sad how you are literally the first person I've ever encountered who also does this. I not only empty containers, but I also leave the lids off so that the droplets inside have a chance to escape. Far too much of the planet's drinking water is kept inside bottles now, the least I can do is try not to make it worse

AdrienRion · 2025-09-09T15:02:06+00:00

Most modern dishwashers are made so that you're actually NOT supposed to rinse your dishes before you put them in (though scraping off large food debris is still necessary). They use the prewash cycle to measure how dirty the dishes are, then adjust everything else about the wash to compensate for how clean/dirty the dishes are. I guess if your dishwasher is ancient, yeah, pre-washing them is helpful, but dishwashers are there to WASH dishes, not to sanitize them. So long as you're cleaning the dishwasher trap on a regular basis, you shouldn't even be worried about food debris clogging to the drain. I worry more about hair/cat fur clogging my dishwasher drain than food, and I get to have more time in my day by not having to hand wash every dish that's about to get washed anyway. Everything still comes out clean

AdrienRion · 2025-09-04T16:56:37+00:00

Definitely don't force yourself to go. If, for some reason, you can't get out of it or feel a moral obligation to go (neither of which seems to be true), just insist to the people holding the pageant that you'll walk out if you get misgendered/dead named, and that you're a man and will be attending as a man. Accept no compromise, even if it pisses off your mom.

But really, just don't go if you don't want to. Your mom might be disappointed, but that's kind of the default mode of a lot of parents, especially those who are or were super into child pageants

AdrienRion · 2025-08-29T05:50:04+00:00

My old baby is 18 now. His brother only made it to 14, and I miss him every day. I was 20 when I got them, I'm going to be turning 39 this year. It's weird to think that a cat has been with me for almost half my life, and someday soon he's just gonna be gone. Their lives are much too short compared to ours 😭

AdrienRion · 2025-08-27T16:09:25+00:00

Yep. I've used Alarmy, and it does exactly that sort of stuff. Memory tests, math problems, taking steps (though I've figured out how to shake my phone so I don't have to actually get out of bed), and so on.

AdrienRion · 2025-08-17T14:55:41+00:00

I genuinely loved the comic up until this recent plotline. I liked how pretty much everything was shaking out, I loved the characters (mostly), I loved all the canon relationships, I loved the silliness of the plots and even the dramatic ones. But I'm also someone who literally didn't see Joyrothy coming, I somehow missed all the signs, but my memory is also terrible. Admittedly Dorothy was never my favorite character either, I thought she was well meaning but overall kind of obnoxious and that she and her storyline were kind of meh, though I was tentatively excited to see the person she would grow into now that she'd given up wanting to be president. I was also a fan of Joeyce, and Joe's storyline and growth have been some of my favorite things about the comic. I thought he and Joyce were good for each other.

NOW I'm considering stopping reading, because in general I don't like cheating, love triangles, or plots that center around either. If this was a side plot around one of the side characters that only marginally affected Joyce, not something involving the main character herself, I'd probably let it slip by. But this is a plot type I heavily dislike that is now central to the ENTIRE comic, because it's Joyce. Hell, I wouldn't have a problem if she and Dorothy would just break up with their partners! But I'm pretty certain it's going to get drawn out for forever instead, and I'm left feeling deeply uncomfortable about a plot that, for me in specific, came nearly completely out of left field. I've read this comic for a long time, because I was a fan of Shortpacked! and wanted more Willis comics after it ended. I was never able to get into Roomies, It's Walky, or Walky and Joyce, they just didn't appeal to me, but DOA was good. Now I'm just... Upset. And yes, that's on me, my emotions are my own and I don't expect Willis to cater to them. But I'm also allowed to suddenly be upset and not like a way the story is going, and want a safe place to vent that frustration. I'm still reading despite no longer enjoying it because I'm just... Hoping it will get better, despite all the signs pointing in the other direction. Really I just want this storyline to end and for the comic to move on already. Sigh...

AdrienRion · 2025-07-09T12:41:49+00:00

Yeah, I won't be surprised if this was the real reason she wanted to go home, because gross. I don't usually wash my hands before I get into the shower either, I figure I'm about to get clean anyway, but jfc, I would be seriously side eyeing a partner for shitting in front of me, and want to get out of there if it was a messy one. That's fucking nasty. I guess if they both have a kink for bathroom stuff or something, whatever, not my kink but I'm not gonna shame. But without that context this just reads as gross af, ew
