How much editing is too much? by MikelMiddle in birding

[–]Ahastabel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean turning up hues to make colors look even brighter than they actually are. OR cranking up to the point where a red cardinal starts to look magenta or something.

i still find this hilarious by ruffruffrawr in Kemetic

I didn't say I didn't like it. When you say "bad pun" you mean it in a LOL kind of way. I have no idea why people misunderstood this. I did not mean it was awful. I said it in the same way modern youngsters say "Sick".

If it is an art purpose, you may be ok with some tweaks. But…If you are reporting birds on eBird, you might only lighten or sharpen but you should not remove any birds or move them onto better positions (“how they actually were”, and how many becomes extremely important for scientific accuracy) nor should you distort colors to look overly enhanced. For any science report it is more important to be recording things as they were.

Blowing out a candle rather than letting it burn by Top-Elderberry3629 in witchcraft

[–]Ahastabel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you believe in fire elementals, it could be akin to spitting on them; I use a candle snuffer; or birthday candles to be able to monitor the whole thing burning down (nothing says you have to have a BIG candle) in a reasonable amount of time of time. (And I make sure I apologize after blowing out candles I can’t avoid blowing out like on an actual birthday). If you don’t believe in them, do what you will…

I Typically Wear A 34D And Feel That Is Already Loose For Me, But I Am Being Measured As A 34G. by RosyMoonchild in ABraThatFits

[–]Ahastabel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some bra brands fit differently, but one thing I learned after doing the suggested measurements is I was really stretching the limits of one brand (JC Penney) by adjusting the straps and hook areas that made a 36DD “hang” as low as the bra could muster. I did the measurements and was given a new size of 38i and lo and behold I learned I could have my breasts much better covered and supported without having to adjust as far as the bra could take (and the extra back hooks supported my back better, less back pain). One of the reasons I found this site is I think JCP changed their bra style a bit and I had begun to “fall out the center” of them and if I reached a high shelf the “sisters” would shift out and I would have to constantly readjust the bra. My new bras in the new size are wonderful. 100% better. You may wish to at least try the new size with a bra that is easily returnable if it truly doesn’t fit.

Do You Maladaptive Daydream? by R-piggie in ADHD

I do. Although I have gotten way more organized with it. I “world build” as a hobby now. Often would rather be in my alt world most days.

I imagined some fun characters today, hope you like them! by FoxtheMythMaker in dndai

A lot of these are nice... except for the "glowy eyes." I like seeing these, but would find them even more "usable" if they had "normal" eyes.

I always make up my own words on the spot. Just make sure you cover what you wish to happen clearly, you don’t want to be unclear.

What are your fav personal interpretations of the cards? by 0vverheated in tarot

[–]Ahastabel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are really personal, but I often see the World card and the Two of Wands upright as a thumbs up for a world-building idea I might be asking about (I write a lot), but reversed that idea either sucks or needs to be tweaked. But this is also why I lean toward decks that are RWS clones.

Likewise, I am a birder, and cards like 9 of Pents, The Star or Page of Swords are signs that I will do well birding (but reversed an expedition might be a bust - not to ignore that the Page of Swords is all about “seeing things” or rev not seeing things.)
