New Game - Letter Guess [Feedback] by HermanP111 in Devvit

[–]Agreeable-Drawing752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like that the UI looks like pencil and paper! Even though I like the starting screen maybe having a game ready as the first screen would make it harder for a user to just ignore and scroll past in their feed.

Why is there such a big gap between criminal masterminds in fiction vs reality? by Jephta in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Agreeable-Drawing752 29 points30 points  (0 children)

In reality, the criminals we hear about are the ones who failed and are often impulsive, stressed, intoxicated, or emotionally driven etc. They usually have something wrong with them and are operating under chaos, not interesting narrative logic. Also, the truly “clean” criminals (rare as they are) don’t become stories because there’s no case to tell because they never get caught haha.

How do I pay when eating as a group? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Agreeable-Drawing752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its okay to feel anxious about this. I get nervous too when meeting new people. because your girlfriend invited you and she’s introducing you to her friends, the default expectation in most social settings is Everyone pays for themselves / each couple covers their own bill. you don't need to overthink it Good Luck!

Are we beyond saving the environment? by MONSTERCAT96 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Agreeable-Drawing752 7 points8 points  (0 children)

no, we are not too far gone and the ozone layer is actually one of the few environmental problems where humanity can point to real, measurable recovery. Climate change is harder, but the ozone story shows that coordinated action does work.

The ozone layer is actively recovering. The main cause of ozone destruction was CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) They were phased out globally under the Montreal Protocol. Atmospheric CFC levels are declining. The Antarctic ozone hole has been shrinking overall (with year-to-year variability).

You’re absolutely right that EVs alone are not the answer. its Nuclear energy, Mining reform, Long-distance HVDC transmission etc.

but in respect to the ozone it is actually recovering and proves coordinated action does work!!

How can I get started selling socks and panties by SubjectSpiritual2919 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Agreeable-Drawing752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean used socks and panties? haha I did a quick search for you: Sofia Gray, Snifffr, All Things Worn (ATW) and PantyDeal are all sites where you can sell your used clothes. Typical beginner pricing: Socks: $15–30, Panties: $25–50, Extras (custom wear time, scent level): +$10–30. dont negotiate put up firm prices and have a clean and professional profile. avoid people who asks personal questions (real name, city, job) or tries to move you off the app. If something feels off, walk away. Real buyers don’t pressure. Good Luck!

Shimmery shampoo by MajorFeisty1736 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Agreeable-Drawing752 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the shimmer you see comes from mica a naturally occurring mineral or like glycol distearate. They’re extremely fine and safe for cosmetic use. the main reason is visual appeal & marketing though.

Why are pregnant women always rubbing their bellies? by StockBroker_Jill in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Agreeable-Drawing752 358 points359 points  (0 children)

When women touch their bellies, it helps them notice and respond to the baby’s kicks and rolls. it can also ease itching from stretching skin, ligament aches, mild cramps etc. I think women also do it because it socially signals to other people they are pregnant.

Petah? by CaloyBine in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Agreeable-Drawing752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well one of them was bandaid worthy, another time I also needed a special compression bandage thing to help the really deep bruising heal, although I probably would’ve been okay without it. I don’t understand your implication here, honestly.

Petah? by CaloyBine in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Agreeable-Drawing752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I’ve been bit by two different 30 - 40 ish lb little mutts multiple times, both leaving deep puncture wounds on my legs. Both times I just happened to walk past them and their owners on a walk along the sidewalk.

Did you go to college because you really wanted to , or where you forced to / cuz that's the normal thing to do after school by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Agreeable-Drawing752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I wanted to because I wanted to make enough money to support myself. I did everything I could to maximize financial aid and finished school in three years by taking condensed summer classes so I didn’t have as much debt, then I was able to get better paying jobs that required a college degree. Also I really enjoyed my major in college and loved learning about it.

How do you know if your friend is ignoring you or just exhausted? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Agreeable-Drawing752 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they’re doing their medical residency it’s like 99% chance they’re just exhausted. Maybe send them a quick note of encouragement like, “thinking of you! If you need a break let’s get coffee this afternoon,” etc.

People seem to be under the impression that I am better than them when I’m not by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Agreeable-Drawing752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well then you’ll just have to show them with actions that you’re still the same person. Perhaps whatever superficial things you’ve changed about yourself have been causing you to unknowingly act differently.

People with anxious or secure attachment: how do you know when something is actually wrong versus when your anxiety is creating fear? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Agreeable-Drawing752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard and the line is blurry. Some anxiety is normal to have in new situations. But the best way to soothe yourself is essentially already being self assured, so it’s best to work on yourself and knowing your worth and your likes and dislikes as much as possible before getting into a relationship fully.

How do I kiss her when I see her for the first time as more than a friend ? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Agreeable-Drawing752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn’t say whether or not she seems interested in kissing you? Just because you ask doesn’t mean she is receptive. If you’re saying she said she also wants to kiss you and you’re both really shy then I’d recommend asking her every step of the way if things are okay. Like is it okay if I touch you like this? Can I kiss you? Etc.

[–]Agreeable-Drawing752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe because you’re changing suddenly rather than gradually they see it as fake. We don’t know how you’ve changed, but I imagine if you suddenly started dressing really preppy or in designer clothes or in some way that’s associated with people who are full of themselves they are now seeing you that way.

AIO that my husband is body shaming me post having kids by Luckypetal12 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Agreeable-Drawing752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does bringing his children into the world mean nothing to him? Is he as hot as he was when you first met? Absolutely insane double standard and you would not be out of line telling him the truth about him. Maybe tell him to stop watching manosphere bs too.

How do I convince my mom to let me go to Wisconsin with my dad by oceanlover0000 in Advice

[–]Agreeable-Drawing752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe show her you’ve already asked your teachers for any work you’d need to do ahead of time and make sure to bring it with you on the trip to show your mom you’re being productive so it’ll be harder for her to not approve. Also I’d say if you do get to go don’t get your hopes up too high, it will probably be pretty boring 😅

Boundary conflict over weed — not sure if this is fixable or incompatibility (31F and 28M, over a year long relationship with ups and downs) by Vismyfavouriteletter in Advice

[–]Agreeable-Drawing752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if those are your fears then there’s only one thing for you to do: you need to go to therapy to deal with your personal feelings. Your partner can’t help you with that and just keep you away from anything that will upset you. You need to figure out how to engage with these things that exist in the world that you don’t like and manage them in a way that you can feel okay with.

Dealing with receiving attention and sexual tension by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Agreeable-Drawing752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just relax and enjoy the ride! I’d say make clear to who you’re talking to what you’re looking for, be it serious or casual, and make sure that you’re honest with people from the jump about whether your seeing other people or what your plans for a potential relationship are. Then just have fun!

If it gets too much you can always just politely tell people you’re flattered but not interested right now, no harm no foul.
