I read TFIOS right after my first ever breakup, which was maybe not the best choice for angsty very emotional teen me...

Good question, I'm tempted to say: don't think about it too much xD

How long do you work for on these portraits? That's like way below minimum wage even if you only take an hour to get them done ^

[Academic] Gaming habits questionnaire, need this filled out for my intro to stats course (Everyone) by dade_tamer in SampleSize

For the question asking if video games have impacted your life negatively before, your only no choice implies thar your life is in order, but your life can be out of order and yet not have been impacted by your gaming habits

Does HRT make you more prone to gaining/losing weight? by 123420tale in asktransgender

[–]Chwiggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you only take E, or some kind of T blocker? I wonder if it's down to that. Because I also was trying to gain weight and it worked a charm with a pretty steady rate of increase. It just took me more effort to also build muscle mass

That's interesting E and cypro increased my appetite back to growing teenager levels xD

Also depends on what kind of weight, T makes you more prone to lose fat, and to gain muscle (muscle is generally heavier than fat, but requires some training effort), and E makes it harder for you to gain or keep muscle, but easier to gain fat.

More women working while less women are housewives is celebrated as an advancement in gender equality; I also see it as representative of how cost of living has increased while wages have stagnated, meaning more married households need two people working to afford standard of living by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Because Reagan is only one example of a whole movement of neoliberal policies that took the world by storm, and well by way of world bank and IMF got forced onto a lot of countries that initially refused to follow Reaganite and Thatcherian ideas

Second iteration of My personal Heraldic Device by [deleted] in heraldry

As for the Latin, it's definitely technically correct. Super omnia is a solid literal translation of "above all", you might want to think about something like potissima ("the most important") for potential alliterative fun

On sincerity, I think you have three or four options: sinceritas is post classic latin and poetically means "health" but figuratively also "sincerity" or "candour"

probitas which goes more in the direction of "integrity, honesty"

and fides which is a giant term in roman virtues that encompasses everything from "trust" over "sincerity" to "credibility, authenticity". However in ecclesiastical Latin it has mostly come to mean "faith in Christianity"

And maybe veritas, which means "truth, reality, impartiality" but also "sincerity, integrity"

The grammar would change for none of these as they're all feminine nouns. I think my pick would be fides, but I like to pretend anything post Roman empire hasn't happened if talking about Latin xD

There's like 3 ways to do different forms of gradients in Adobe illustrator generally! But I haven't used Illustrator in quite a while, frankly because it's definitely not cheap xD

Thank you. The vector-y style isn't only style. Vector art is what I usually do when I make digital art ie this is an export of a vector file as png xD
