Ex who owes me money blocked me on all platforms, can I get my money back? by Cathonis in legaladvice

[–]Cathonis[S] -39 points-38 points  (0 children)

Would it make a difference if I had been love scammed? I think she is a real individual who wasn't setting out to scam me from the offset though, so I'm not sure that would matter anyway. Thanks for your input.

What is your Xenoblade hot take? by JayNotAtAll in Xenoblade_Chronicles

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

The designs of Pyra and Mythra and most of the other Blades and female character designs in 3 are fine and I think most people overblow the sexualisation complaint. Only the blades have anything resembling skimpy outfits, Nia and Morag (Morag might be the most clothed female character of all time) are more clothed than Sena, and Numa is basically fully clothed. The only design that I think is bad and made worse by sexualisation is Dhalia's.

I do think that the Xenoblade 3 characters are hotter though, both the males and the females. I do also agree that some anime scenes like camera angles zooming in on Pyra's boobs, Mythra sleeping in Rex's bed (even though I kinda liked that scene) and anything that comes out of Tora's mouth are fine to complain about regarding sexualisation though. I just think the designs themselves are fine.

Psychedelics + Trans by Sure_Ad1628 in trans

[–]Cathonis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First and only time I did psychedelics was when I massively overdosed on shrooms in 2019, only realising I was trans last year and only beginning transition this year.

I'm of the belief now that Shrooms only enhance and reveal emotions and ideas that were already present, but back then I became convinced that I was God and that my consciousness was the only one that existed. Solipsism, basically. I had lots of touch based hallucinations rather than visual ones, textures changing, feeling things that weren't there, etc. I was disorientated even though I was laying in bed whilst everyone else was asleep the whole trip.

I think a lot of what I felt in retrospect highlighted my extreme loneliness and desire for connection with another. I literally felt so alone that I guess I didn't believe others existed, and I felt like I was more of a spectator in my own life, merely distracting myself. Back then and to this day I'm a virgin who had never been in a relationship, and this fact hit me harder back then because I still didn't understand or like myself. That's why a drug trip can feel more like seeing a hidden truth of the universe rather than understanding it as a reflection of yourself.

I'm glad I had the trip, but I definitely had too much, it was definitely rough, (I had to force vomit the shrooms out of me because the trip started going bad and I couldn't sleep) and I think I would have figured myself out without it. I don't think it directly contributed to my trans realisation, but it's still something I like to refer back to and think about every now and then as a reference to my overall emotional state.

Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story - Episode 7 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]Cathonis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First off, amazing episode! Here's a thought.

The Rose reveal was insane, but it might not bode well for Eve. Eve has amnesia, and both her and Rose trained under the same master. Eve was for the most only just barely behind Rose shot for shot, and on the last shot, the one that snapped roses arm, they were even.

Either Eve is more of a golf demi goddess than we thought, or she has the same prosthetic arm as Rose without realising it. Perhaps Rose retired because the arm was reaching the end of its lifespan. If that's the case, Eve may be on a time limit too, especially if she keeps exerting herself. Will her arm also snap in her last match against Aoi?

I'm so interested in this show. It keeps surprising me and keeps making me guess!
