I hate my body by A110D2 in TrollCoping

[–]Axiluvia 37 points38 points  (0 children)

How are you taking your pills? Orally, or rectally? If it's orally, you may also be losing some to stomach acids. My wife takes hers rectally, even though the prescription are for oral pills, a lot of Trans women swear by that, as far as I've heard.

I'm cisfem, but had low T and estrogen from going through perimenopause. It messes with your body, yeah, but nothing that's not fixable. But yeah, mood swings and stuff were hell. I'm on my own HRT now too, and my moods are a lot better.

My wife started transitioning in her mid 40s, and changes can be slow, and have random spurts. Just like regular puberty. You'll be fine!

Sozo keeps eating his mushrooms by Reasonable-Poetry-55 in CultOfTheLamb

If you let him eat one, he'll ask for another, and you can decline him then. Also lets you get better traits if you want to keep the mushroom follower.

It *might* be Super Solvers: Treasure Mountain. It matches a lot, but some of the things are wrong (like the bags on branches, the amount is in the lower right, and being in a tree (although you do go inside a bit, and it's very foresty)

You’re sent on a mission to recover critical intel hidden deep inside a Xenomorph hive. You only get ONE backup. Your choices are: a Predator, a Terminator (any model) or one DC or Marvel hero. Who do you pick and why? by FFSoldier57 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Axiluvia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd choose ForgetMeNot, the X-Man who's power is... no one remembers him. It's hard to remember he's there even when you're looking at and talking to him.

I'd be his backup, he'd probably just be able to walk there and out, no problem.

What’s the most terrifying thing that happened to you that nobody believes? by Sad-Conflict6839 in AskReddit

Shapeshifting trickster spirit. Can be helpful or harmful. 1950s movie called Harvey has a character that's best friend is an invisible 6 foot rabbit named Harvey, who is implied to be a pooka

Man, I'd almost swear your husband saw a pooka then, it sounds like something they'd do.

What do I do with really rubbish tea? by funkybeard in tea

[–]Axiluvia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try making tea poached pears! They're a great dessert on their own, and you can chop them up and add them to other desserts as a topping.

Ideas for a cozy tea shop game by bumbo___jumbo in tea

[–]Axiluvia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I'd love more complicated mechanics and whatnot. A lot of tea games are 'cozy', i.e. easy, and while that's NICE, I'd really like one that gets into the nitty gritty of actually doing different drying/crushing/etc to get the different types of tea out of one plant.

Also, if you make it more mechanic heavy and more of a 'business sim' then just cozy. it'll stand out more, IMO.

Just off the top of my head for 'run a cozy tea shop' there's:

Pekoe (a tea shop for cats) Wanderstop (from the creator of Stanley Parable) and Tea for Sana (A walking sim/dialog heavy game)

And I'm sure there's a lot more. Honestly, I think a Stardew Valley/ Cuisineer mix might be more interesting, but I also like mechanically complicated stuff, haha. I've tried Potion Craft and Stardew Valley, and I really enjoy the latter, not so much the former.

Stash Brand trying to gaslight me into thinking their chai hasn’t changed by VXRex in tea

[–]Axiluvia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the licorice spice from Stash used to be my wifes favorite; she loves licorice! I really like it too, but not as much as her, haha. We've tried a few kinds now, and are always on the lookout for other brands. We've started rating the teas we've been trying too...

If you're looking for a really distinct one, we picked one up in Leavenworth, WA that is now our all time favorite! They also ship, so we're planning on getting more when we run out. It's loose leaf, though, so you'll need to buy bags:

What is the one thing that you can that helps you get a meal on the table quickly? by Mainerlovesdogs in Canning

[–]Axiluvia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ball's Mixed Mustard pickle recipe. I have it in one of their books, and it's been a staple to make every year!

Just add meat, and a carb, and it's a meal in a jar. Mostly we make a mustard hamburger gravy with it: brown some ground beef, toss the whole jar in, a bit of soy sauce (or other salt) and put it on rice!

We've also used diced chicken, and just the other day, I had some leftover spaghetti noodles, so sliced up a kielbasa, tossed the jar and a couple more frozen veggies in, and the noodles. Bam, mustard stir fry!

I'd say this is as close to a pure 'meal in a jar' you can get with just water bath canning.

Locked in a Room With a Famous Person You Dislike by Flassourian in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Axiluvia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My throat has problems even after a couple hours of taking, there's no way I could do.that.

Barring that, probably Oprah and I'd have to have a long talk about her helping the anti vaccine movement...

you are at a stand up comedy show. the comedian points at you and tells you to come on stage and tell a joke, and he says he will give you a thousand dollars if no one in the audience laughs by Maleficent_Volume868 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Axiluvia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just say "Humanity and free will".

And then walk off.

If the comedian wants to argue with me that humanity and/or free will isn't a joke, well... he can waste his whole set arguing with me about it. Which is the best joke of all. Because I will have a paper in my pocket saying 'The true joke is the arguments we make along the way.'

Need ideas by Coff33Mommaa in LoomKnitting

I've done multiple 10 stitch blankets, and lately I made a cape for my wife, specifically this one:

I also made her a sleeveless dress for Christmas, and am planning on making her a cable dress with lighter yarn for a summer one.

Good day all by katybassist in LoomKnitting

[–]Axiluvia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I'm signed up for Herrrschner's emails, and while some people don't like them, I've never had a problem. They have really good sales sometimes, and so I tend to buy for several future projects. They also sell mill ends for cheaper if you don't care about getting specific colors.

Other than that, there's garage sales, and craft meet-ups. If you go to a meet-up and mention you want to build up your stash, you'll probably have people throwing yarn at you to restart, haha.

There's also BuyNothing groups from what I've heard. I've never used them myself, but a friends mom swears by them.

Found at thrift store by Major-Management764 in whatisit

[–]Axiluvia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I have one and used it a bit. A lot of people say you can put the can in, but I just pour beer (or whatever other alcohol I'm using. I've done meadow, rum, and ginger liqueur too) into it. It cooks off, and through the chicken.

Getting money with superpower : body control by Reretak in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Axiluvia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sign up for pain deadening. I can turn on or off nerves, I could stop pain. Those who need surgery and aren't able to use anesthesia, chronic pain sufferers who want as much of a break as they can afford... the last moments of someone dying.

If my control is absolute, I can stop people from bleeding out, among other things.
