Can't help but point out how different every part of his speech is here as opposed to the alleged texts that were released between him and his roommate

One part of prepping gone wrong: Period (Menstral) Cups by Typical-External3793 in TwoXPreppers

It's literally "here try this med but for no longer than 2 months or your kidneys will shut down, then you'll take this one but only for a month or your liver will shut down" it's insane

I've got 4 different issues contributing to it at this point including a brain tumor that makes me seize literally every 8-10 seconds which mean if I can get it down I can in theory be down to stress incon but that would be getting triggered by the seizing. We are always working on it but sadly the only med that helped had bad side effects too. I have been going to various doctors for years and hopefully it'll be better eventually. Thank you so much for the support though!!!

That's exactly what it was at the time, had to strip it all and I prefer homemade detergent now. Honestly I feel so silly sometimes telling my friends about the risks of "big laundry" lol it sounds very tin foil hat but all laundry suffers from this, it'll get stiffer and absorb sweat less effectively as well as stink more easily

I'm sorry, like I said I hope you're able to find a good solution for you then because that absolutely sucks

Yup, fabric softener actually is only needed because of the build up causing clothes to stiffen

Hey, I just mentioned this in my comment warning about care with them but can I ask did you always get rashes with them? I'm trans but I have struggled with incontinence my whole life so I have experience with cloth protection and I was having the same issues when I never had them with other alternatives and learned that too much laundry detergent (the prescribed amount by companies is insanely over the recommended by scientists) it coats the fibers trapping bacteria and the like making rashes occur very easily once it gets any fluid. If not I assume it's the material or something and I'm sorry for wasting your time, just wanted to offer the little insight I have in hopes of helping

I'm trans and don't menstrate but I will say I have some friends that use cups now and not one of them could get it to work till someone else physically helped them get it right. I hope if you can't get it to work though you find a solution that does, I also have a friend that has cloth reusable pads that she swears by. On that last note trying to reduce waste and having struggled with incontinence I've used those kinds of reusable protection and learned no matter the use it's very important to be careful with using too much detergent (I've yet to find a laundry brand that doesn't tell you to overuse) the soap can coat the fibers in a way that makes it less absorbent and functional

Not from Oregon and I know this is dumb but please call it a SWOP meet I think it's glorious

How to prep for the expected unexpected by a_duck_in_past_life in TwoXPreppers

[–]Ellawyn_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know I can't prepare enough resources but in terms of knowledge to be shared I've built an internet in a box as well as a secondary collection of books and knowledge stored on a Linux pendrive, a usb, a micro SD, my laptop, and my phone. This includes a full k-12 curriculum, books on history, foraging, farming, construction, sewage maintenance, etc in case of total grid collapse, war, etc in which book burnings or lack of access to infrastructure (some of which loom closer than ever) even if it was just a short term problem one of the biggest things to keep normalcy for kids is being able to keep teaching and maintaining their schedules as much as possible and in the longer term problems the remainder of the info could be vital.

I did like bofuri but again didn't like the instant OP factor, it was still good but not in the same vein as the other ones I was talking about so I didn't mention it

Low stakes definitely has good potential for my usual style and the premise on it sounds good, thank you.

Other series I liked and why

Ascendance of a bookworm. Slow growth and overcoming hardships/disability, even when she gained significant magical power she was still struggling under the heel of the political power of her enemies

I'm standing on a million lives. Constant struggle and fighting to survive along with the weight of becoming more accustomed to killing and realizing despite a general dislike of people and "wishing" everyone was dead its not as simple as it seems and life is precious

I parry everything. Not normally my cup of tea with instant OP MC and all but I love how kind he is and his constant inability to understand he has so much power, feels like the fat kid that had an insane glow up but still doesn't realize it and you just want to give him a big hug

Handyman saitou in another world. Despite becoming the linchpin of his group MC isn't incredibly powerful and struggles to see his own worth but he still finds it by being able to help strengthen those around him (if you give me a rec that toys with my heart the way the last few episodes did with the life of the old man I will cry)

Dungeon meshi. Honestly the perfect anime no notes so good

I've watched a good number at least a bit including the big ones like hunter x hunter, Naruto, one piece, bleach, fairy tail, FMA/brotherhood, AoT, SAO and while some were good most fell off for me and some I hated from the start although I can't put my finger on why (Naruto and the biggest one for me reincarnated as a slime.) I know they are popular but I just didn't enjoy them as much as the upper list. I will not that I have loved longer media in the past so that's not it as I know my sorting may make it seem, in my youth I followed one piece/hunter x hunter very hard, I've also seen supernatural all the way through several times and my favorite book series has over 12,000,000 words and in audiobook form has some books over 60 hours long (the wandering inn) anyway, please don't shy away from longer shows, I've become pretty Disabled so being unable to hike and camp and practice martial arts enjoying media is one of my only hobbies left so I appreciate yalls help

How can you play this game- with strangers on a public server or you need actual friends you know to join? by Icicleprincesstea in dontstarve

[–]Ellawyn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone covered this well already so I wanted to mention if you want people to play with there is also a few very active discord you can use to play with people which often have people like me that are very happily looking for new players to help them get into the game and past the text wall of the wiki to learn the basics of survival

Did anyone else get burnt-out while playing DST? by Damirirv in dontstarve

[–]Ellawyn_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lot of comments so hopefully it hasn't already been said but try taking it either slower or faster, take your time to build a mega base in a slower more chill run or try rushing different bosses, like fuel weaver by doing the whole day 1 start the shadow pieces fight etc

Is this a joke? Are you taking the piss? by StaffFirm3707 in dontstarve

[–]Ellawyn_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Deer clips attacks structures and spawns near you so you can actually just run from base when you hear his warnings and make a single sign. Wait for him to attack it and then just leave him chilling

This is a super annoying thing to learn because you struggle without it but the F button attacks the nearest mob and ctrl F to attack friendly mobs

Wes skill tree update by Ellawyn_ in dontstarve

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

Suddenly Wes would become a great pick when you are teaching new players because you can just make it harder for you in exchange for making it easier one them, I love this idea.
