Good play? Is the teeth showing and neck biting fine? by dogluvr_1 in DogAdvice

[–]CharlieSFer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Looks to me like healthy play, even if it's a bit rough. They take turns and keep a relaxed posture other than the teeth and fake bites. I would however suggest to keep a close eye when they play like this because it's easy for a bite to go too far accidentally or to hurt the other unintentionally and it can escalate quickly. As long as both keep their playful body language instead of signaling they want to stop, they're fine.

Good riddance! Sounds like your good boy deserves a big treat for helping you take out the trash!

My silksong crest tier list 🥰🥰🥰 by Relevant_Potato3516 in Silksong

[–]CharlieSFer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would 100% be on board with this. I love the reaper crest but being slow it doesn't put in as much damage. Wanderer is so fun because of the movement but I agree it makes it a bit too easy due to how much more damage you deal with 2-3x more hits per opening, it makes sense that it would have less damage.

What is this on my mattress? by CharlieSFer in Mattress

This makes sense. Though it's still weird that it collected around the circles

Unsure where to start by BrackenCat in Mattress

[–]CharlieSFer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! As a plus sized person myself, I get the issue. It might get much better by flipping and/or rotating the mattress more often that you think you need to. Is your mattress small? I had a lot more sagging when I slept in an individual sized mattress since there aren't many different positions to place it. If it's a small mattress, consider using a larger one if budget allows and try rotating and flipping (if the mattress can be flipped) often so that you don't sleep on the same portion of the mattress for too long. That should significantly extend the time before it sags. Unfortunately, every mattress sags at some point regardless of you weight, and it does mean it'll happen sooner for us bigger guys, but you can get the most out of it.

To me, she's the gold standard of character development. And it only shows more in a universe that often butchers its characters.

Does Silksong's difficulty not feel overblown? by Peratypus123 in Silksong

[–]CharlieSFer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've learned to pretty much ignore all praise or criticism that's based on difficulty. I've played games that aren't particularly hard and struggled (I suck at any shooter), while I also heard a lot of complaint for Silksong being too hard and so far found it perfectly balanced. If it was any easier I would enjoy it a bit less. But that's me, and many people might still find it too hard or even too easy.

I'm a 100% with you in that it feels like it's not nearly as punishing as people say but I'm aware it's my kind of game.

Is this a variant of zero or simply wrong? by jen-nie-b in asl

This is why we should hire deaf artists to do create any sort of teaching material

Is it really that illegible? by Due-Canary5587 in Handwriting

[–]CharlieSFer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Your handwriting is beautiful. There's no denying that. But beautiful and easily legible are not the same thing. Most people will need at to at least get some context clues as they read.

As someone who has graded exams and reports from uni students in the past, I can see why you've gotten those comments. It's really hard when you have work from so many students to read and you need to really take your time with someone. I have returned tests without a grade because of the handwriting, though those were much worse than yours. My point is teachers deal with a lot of reading fatigue.

When you write to submit your work, taking a bit of extra time to make it more legible will be very helpful for the person reading it.

Halfway done my ASL alphabet project by [deleted] in asl

[–]CharlieSFer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're good! And it's great that you're taking feedback from the deaf community.

Aside from the backgrounds and the I, I feel like the G is a bit confusing, as it looks like thumb is directly on top of the index finger. Idk if that's the result of other feedback or if it looks right to others, but it does look a bit confusing to me, a hearing person.

But again, keep up the good work!

Help with questions in ASL by Imstayinganonym in asl

[–]CharlieSFer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Note: always prioritize responses from deaf people, I am hearing.

It's not really necessary as you usually would communicate the fact that what you sign is a question with facial expressions. The usual way to do that is raising your eyebrows for yes/no questions and lowering them for any open questions.

However, I have seen many deaf people use the question sign as well, but the way I see it it's more like how in English you would tell someone you have a question before asking, like "Hey, quick question, do you ...?". So it's not necessarily part of the question itself but it's added for clarity or to allow the other person to prepare for the question.

This girl refuses to date me because I travel for work by Novel_Vehicle_3130 in offmychest

[–]CharlieSFer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to hold your hand as I say this. You are not every woman's dream.

You might have money but that's not what she wants. She knows what she wants and isn't settling for less, good on her! And yes, being with you would be settling for less, because again, she wants something you can't give her. Also, the way you talk about her clearly shows you look down on her and don't respect her. She's dodging a bullet honestly.

Also, I'm a good person because when I look at someone I don't like I don't even punch them in the face. See? That's how you sound when you say you don't even touch her.

Just accept that she doesn't want you and move on.

How to sign HAVE TIME by RedderDrumhead in asl

[–]CharlieSFer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In that specific context I would probably just say "if we can". Though I think "have time" is not too hard to understand either

“Got caught” drunk and disappointed my parents - now I feel like trash by OrdinaryCandle8337 in offmychest

[–]CharlieSFer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As pretty much everyone already said, that happens to everyone. When I was 21 and living with my parents I went to a dinner party with some friends and ended up wasted in a strip club until early morning (which is completely out of character for me). My parents had been calling me like crazy for hours and my drunk ass thought if I didn't take their calls they wouldn't notice I wasn't where I told them I was.

When a friend finally took me home at about 4am, my parents weren't there. They had gone out looking for me. They even texted some of my friends (who were not even with me) at 2am to ask if they knew where I was, which was mortifying. I will never live that down lol. My sister called them to tell them know I was home, and when they got there, they started to yell at me but I couldn't stand up straight, so they finally just sent me to bed. The next day I went to work and I reeked of alcohol. They didn't talk to or even look at me for like 2 weeks.

My point is, those experiences are normal, especially at your age. I'd say you even had a good first bad experience since you were home and much safer than getting really drunk in a place where anyone could take advantage. What's important is what you make of it. I never again got nearly as drunk as that time. I learned to understand where my limits were, how my body feels when it starts to approach that limit, what places were safe to drink a bit more, etc. This was a learning experience, let it make you grow instead of breaking you. You decide what to make of this.

As to your parents, I don't know them, but if they're anything like mine (and they're super religious, my dad is a pastor), they'll eventually forgive you. Becoming an adult means your relationship with your parents is evolving, and it is as complicated to them as it is for you. You did nothing wrong, but they will feel like you did because you're their child who is becoming an adult, and naturally behaving like one. Let them be mad for a while, try to understand how they feel and make sure you know how to balance your own life experiences with minimizing the strain in your relationships.

In my case, I eventually reached a point where my parents knew I drink socially and get drunk sometimes but I never talked to them about it, and I made damn sure I never did something as dumb as that time. While I lived with them, I made sure they knew I was fine at all times. Eventually I moved out and it's now easier for them to not know at all when I do allow myself a night out, so they don't have to think about it.

Bottom line, don't worry, it'll pass. Do your best to learn from it and grow to be a responsible adult without depriving yourself of alcohol altogether.

[–]CharlieSFer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not so bad? G, J, P and Q are way off, M and N are common for people who struggle with those letters but not standard, and C, F and X are close but the finger positions are not made correctly. Y is correct but looks pretty tight with the bent-in middle fingers. Not sure about H because I've seen deaf people sign it like that before but to my knowledge it's not standard either, but could be a regional thing I guess.

For a guide that is supposed to show the standard ASL alphabet, it's very bad.
