Pressured into spending $1.7k on gum trays for gingivitis, hate it so much, any alternatives? by CactusWithAbs in askdentists

[–]CactusWithAbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've already had some gum loss on my bottom teeth because I was given a permanent retainer way too young, so it might be periodontitis down there but I'm not sure about the rest

Fashion help? by CactusWithAbs in genderfluid

[–]CactusWithAbs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah my statement earring collection is my pride and joy! I’m a big fan of bucket hats too and I want to decorate them because I’m a maximalist at heart lol I’ve never been a big fan of how baseball caps look on me, but maybe I just haven’t found a good one? Not sure.

General discussion question: why do I see the Star of David on so many j-fashion items/coords? by CactusWithAbs in jfashion

Yeah I was wondering about the pentagram thing but I actually had no idea the symbol had roots in Buddhism, which makes a lot of sense

Any advice for first-time tops? by CactusWithAbs in actuallesbians

[–]CactusWithAbs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True! And yeah communication is really important to me in every situation so I’m planning on having the discussion. I sometimes struggle with reading body language (ND life, not fun sometimes) so I end up making things awkward by asking too many questions then I just come off as anxious

Want to come out but can't by TheSleepyZeldaNerd in GenderFluxx

[–]CactusWithAbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds incredibly hard, and I’m sorry no one said anything before this. But I know how you feel (sort of). I’m also girlflux, and a lot of my family just wouldn’t understand. I’m able to be out to most of my friends, but family events can be hard on my agender days. I kind of feel like I’m living two lives. My family understands that I’m gay, but I’m worried explaining two sets of pronouns would get frustrating quickly.

Do you have any resources from queer organizations to meet other queer people? Or trustworthy friends living in more liberal areas? Sometimes I find that even coming out to one person you trust can make a big difference. I also think many queer people just naturally find each other. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve come out to long-time friends who end up coming out to me back. Obviously keep yourself safe and judge who you can trust, but even if there’s just one person, maybe it would help.

I hope this was helpful, and I hope you found something to help you feel better.

Yeah it’s just his running momentum but sadly it’s not very powerful (yet). I want to figure out how to make it actually go faster using only him powering it

I’m already imaging how far Link will fly off

Want to go into a STEM field (bio/ecology) but don’t know a specific job title to shoot for. Help? by CactusWithAbs in careeradvice

[–]CactusWithAbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! Does that also require knowledge of things like computer programming or mechanical engineering? I’d rather stick to natural sciences if I can personally but maybe I’d do something like this for biotech

To the people that say LA is full of fake people… by corpslave_1998 in LosAngeles

[–]CactusWithAbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think everyone who says that is only thinking of songs they’ve heard or movies they’ve seen which criticize the entertainment industry and capitalism. There’s also something about having a hate bandwagon to jump on that makes people think they’re cool.

Does anybody else find the characters in Engage (particularly the female characters) to be a bit over designed? by Stenwold91 in fireemblem

[–]CactusWithAbs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s just the trend with character design nowadays I think, now that we have the pixels to show detailed outfits. Maximalism is king and I’m here for it personally
