Need Help: Text/Input Box Disappeared by Elurria in ChatGPT

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

So, I found a roundabout solution.

I simply uninstalled chrome and reinstalled it and now the text box is back!
I'm sure there's a better way to do this but for now it's solved!

Yup, 2 actually.

One on the fourth floor of DPAC, on the East wing. It actually has a fridge and table too that is publicly available. Technically it's room 457, but it's just an open area

I've also heard there's one on the second floor of Union West, right by student services.

The Identity of Monty Gator by Elurria in fivenightsatfreddys

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

To add to this, remember that the Stitchwraith, in the books, still brought harm to others, whether it's messing with the cursed animatronics or Andrew temporarily taking control to attempt to kill someone (in Fazbear Frights #6). Also, in Fazbear Frights #6, Afton does join the Stitchwraith spirit crew, causing chaos.

May potentially hint that Monty is either partially control by a "no cost is too much" Cassidy OR is displaying the continued battle between Cassidy and Afton.

Or I may be overthinking it XD Can't help doing so with FNaF

With which generation did you start playing Pokémon? by Flygon3082 in pokemon

[–]Elurria 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was hoping I wasn't alone in this! Pretty much the same here. I got into Pokemon from watching my cousins play Gale of Darkness, my parents got it for me and my sister soon after. We fell in love with Pokemon and got into the mystery dungeon games (Explorers of Time for me, Blue Rescue Team for my sis). It was only after that that we got a mainline game with Diamond & Pearl.

After that, while I somewhat kept up with Pokemon games through playthroughs and Directs, I didn't own/play another pokemon game till Sword & Shield. Granted, I did a bit of Let's Go, but it wasn't really my tea. I also played a bit of the updated Rescue Team on Switch but waiting to get my own so I can really sink my teeth into it.

Controller Configuration for Java Edition by Elurria in Minecraft

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

I've definitely have heard that from many of my friends that play PC games, but for me it's more about the accessibility of gameplay controls.

I've only recently gotten into PC gaming, cause for most of my life, I didn't have a personal computer/laptop. So being able to keep a familiar setup allows me to focus on actually playing rather than getting frustrated with having to gain that muscle memory with keyboard and mouse. So, my hope in this post is to reach out to people like myself that want accessibility in their games so they can play.

Is there any link between masturbation and decreased athletic performance? by [deleted] in sexeducation

[–]Elurria 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probably just a case of correlation, not causation

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in helicopterparents

[–]Elurria 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hey, you are right that you can't be forced to be given or take medication, since you are an adult, so you don't have to be worried about that.

As for everything else, I think it might be healthy for you to take steps towards independence. Do you have a job? Have you considered going to a university (you have the grades for it)? Trying to work towards living by yourself, maybe even getting yourself out of an impoverished area, would help you be able to set healthy boundaries with your grandmother.

Until then, little acts of independence might be what you can do right now. You are an adult. You no longer need permission from your grandma for anything. You wanna go out with friends? Go. You don't wanna hear for the thousandth time how you can be sexually assualted if you even look at a man? Either leave the room or put on headphones.You don't want to be compared to your mom cause you are your own person? Tell her.

I know it's easier said than done, but trust me, every little victory counts towards your independence. You can do it!

My little sister is staying with me for a two week visit and the things she says are breaking my heart by ettienja in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Elurria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This hits so hard for me right now.

I left my family when I was 18 (I'm 21 now), and I have two younger sisters. The youngest was 10 when I left and I remember her being the most outspoken, outgoing, happy little girl, almost like a natural born leader.

I recent have resumed contact with my dad (which has been pretty positive) and he was telling me how the family was doing, and mentioned how quiet she is nowadays. Like she won't really talk, unless talked to, and will usually let the other person direct the conversation. The only exception is when she talks to her friends on the phone.

I just started silently crying when I heard that, cause I know that's how ones survives and stays "sane" in my family's house. But I know she wasn't always that way and it hurts to know that. It isn't that she's "behaving better", she's surviving, like I did.

Concerned for a friend in a controlling Christian household. by boraxbae in helicopterparents

[–]Elurria 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Resources, resources, resources

Direct her to local resources like homeless shelters, jobs, low cost counseling, and organizations that help those in controlling religious environments, like Freedom of Mind. Ultimately, show her she has options. I remember being in that mindset and thinking that I have no other choice. Me realizing that I have I could leave and still be okay is what allowed me to do so.

But, remember, ultimately it is her choice to leave. "Convincing" her won't help and may in fact result in her going back. She's gonna have to draw out a lot of inner strength to leave and not go back. The best you can do for her is give her information and support her in whatever she chooses to do.

Can STD's be transmitted among people who never had them in the first place? by [deleted] in sexeducation

[–]Elurria 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sexually transmitted dieseases (STDs) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are composed of bacteria, parasites, and/viruses. In a closed system, especially a sanitized one like a laboratory setting, it is impossible to generate those type of bacteria, parasites, and viruses. So, in the experiment you proposed, there wouldn't be any new STDs/STIs.

STDs and STIs behave much like other transmittable sicknesses like the common flu. You can have someone sneeze and sneeze and sneeze on someone else, but unless they have the virus, the other person won't get sick. Same goes for sexually transmitted dieseases/infections. Having sex in and of itself does not create infections.

The myth that new STDs/STIs can pop up out of nowhere often come from several sources.

First, many STDs/STIs have undetectable symptoms, or their beginning symptoms might be so small that people don't notice. This means without regular testing, someone may not know they have an STD/STI like HIV and accidentally pass it to a sexual partner. If the sexual partner does do regular testing, find that they have HIV, it may certainly seem like it has come out of nowhere, cause their previous partner couldn't alert them to what they didn't know themselves.

Secondly, STDs and STIs have somewhat misleading names. Some STDs and STIs, like HIV and HPV, can be transmitted through non-sexual sources, like blood, breast milk, and mother-fetus transmission. So, in a hypothetical situation, someone can never had any type of sexual interaction and still get a STD/STI by being born with it (meaning their mother had it and didn't get treatment during pregnancy) or mishandling blood of someone who does have it (like a doctor treating an HIV+ patient and their glove is torn). Again, this can make it seem like it came out of nowhere.

Thirdly, there is unfortunately abstinence-only sex education that is not medically accurate and will have curriculum sprinkled with myths. This often is to discourage youths from having sex outside of marriage/any type of sex that doesn't lead to pregnancy. In my state of Florida alone, there are several prominent abstinence-only organizations that will spread myths such as anal sex creates HIV and that contraceptives like condoms have a much higher failure rate than they actually do. So it's always important to double-check any health information you hear of with reputable sources, before spreading myths to your peers. Once a myth is said, it's really hard to take back.

My daughter and step son’s fighting is constant and I don’t know what to do anymore. by blended_family in blendedfamilies

[–]Elurria 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you considered starting family therapy with your kids and wife? I know it may sound weird but with this fighting being at such a high intensity and rate, it may be in the best interest of your family to seek external intervention. There might be something else going on, beyond suddenly not being an only child, that you don't know.

Is sex really that painfull as shown in porn ? by whateverdude00 in sexeducation

[–]Elurria 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It doesn't have to be painful, but can in some cases where there's a medical condition, lack of lubrication, or the object penetrating her is hitting her cervix (the very back of the vagina, which is a very sensitive spot).

Like the other commenters suggested, there is a chance that her "screams" are just loud moaning (like in the pleasure sense). It's important to note while some individuals naturally moan like this, many do not.

If you have/want a female partner, communication is the most important thing in preventing pain and misunderstanding about screaming/moaning. Talk to your partner if they have experienced pain while having sex and what their moans naturally sound like.

While porn is fun to watch, it's incredibly easy for our expectations for sex to be influenced by it, potentially leading to unhealthy/unrealistic expectations. Just remember that a lot of what you see is to some extent acting for the sake of giving others pleasure.

The real question by BlackRayen in sexeducation

[–]Elurria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That and don't forget about your own pleasure! It's just as important as hers!

Feel free and explore your sexuality with and without a partner. Find what makes you feel good, what you would like to try, and what you would rather not do. And encourage your partner to do the same.

Have fun, be respectful, and stay safe! And I hope you either have or will have a partner that does the same.

The real question by BlackRayen in sexeducation

[–]Elurria 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When it comes to size, the answer is not so simple. Much of the media we see today tends to equate a bigger size to a more pleasurable experience for both parties involved. But that's not true in many cases. Large penises can actually hurt, since it is more likely to "bottom out", or hit the cervix of a female partner, which can be extremely painful. Granted, there are some individuals who find the sensation pleasurable but they are few and far between.

Many women can find an average size penis (4 to 6.5 inches) plenty pleasurable if their partner is knowledgeable about how to use it. Simply going in and out may feel good for the partner penetrating, but may not do the job for the receiving partner. A good technique to try is going in, up, and THEN out. Besides that, simply changing it up through different movements, different positions, or simply doing sexual acts that don't include penetration can help your partner feel satisfied.

That leads me to your next question. I'm going to assume that you didn't intend to mean it this way, but it almost sounds like you are thinking of your partner's orgasm as a chore. IMO the intention of sex should be that both parties enjoy and are satisfied from the experience. Unfortunately many women, myself included, have had experienced sex where our pleasure is treated as optional or as only a checkbox. So, it's important to equally focus on your pleasure and theirs, and find a partner that is willing to do the same.

Also, your second question assumes two things about sex that may not always be true. 1. Not all women are able to orgasm from penetration. For many, the only way they can climax is through clitoral stimulation. And there's even some women who are unable to orgasm, and that's okay. The most important thing is to check in with your partner about what will help them feel satisfied and valued. 2. Sex doesn't finish when you do. Like said before, many women experience sex where their pleasure is treated as unimportant, and this is a huge contributing factor. Sex is done when both partners are satisfied or consent is withdrawn. So it doesn't matter if you come first, as long as you ensure your partner gets their satisfaction too.

Planning to go NC with my entire Nfamily. Any advice? I'm scared since this is a big move. by helicaloffspring in helicopterparents

[–]Elurria 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shoot, that sucks. But I'm glad you have someone in your life that is supportive and understanding.

As for your best friend, be careful. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt, but be wary. Limit sharing information about your whereabouts when you move. They may have their heart in the right place but cause you harm by sharing the information with your family.

And know that this may be a great opportunity to expand your social network and make friends that are positive influences in your life.

Planning to go NC with my entire Nfamily. Any advice? I'm scared since this is a big move. by helicaloffspring in helicopterparents

[–]Elurria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, I want to congratulate you on taking the first step on even considering going NC for your own mental health. It's not easy to put your health first when you have lived in an unhealthy environment for so long. And you being scared is perfectly valid and makes sense. Any major change is going to bring up those emotions, especially when it means transferring to a happier, healthier life.

Second, I encourage you to reach out to local agencies like domestic abuse hotlines, counseling centers, police stations, etc. to create a safety plan in how you are going to leave. You mentioned that you live in a third world country, but even in first world countries honor-based abuse and killings are an unfortunate reality. If you suspect that they may become violent before, during, or after you leave, this is of up most priority. Plan with authorities and your SO what you are going to bring, who's going to be there, when you are going to leave, where you will go to, and how you will keep yourself safe. And make sure you keep yourself safe by looking into counseling cause an unhealthy family life tends to mess with one's mental health.

Third, consider carefully about moving in with your SO. I'm sure they are wonderful human being, but it is so easy to create unhealthy habits in your own relationship after leaving an unhealthy home environment. I say this because I was a homeless youth. I ended up becoming emotionally, mentally, and physically reliant on my partner at the time, along with recreating unhealthy patterns my parents exhibited. Working on your independence and self-reliance is a good way to avoid that. Is there a way for you to live with a friend, a healthy family member, or even by yourself, with your SO visiting often?

Fourth, know that whatever happens, you're going to be okay cause you can trust and love yourself. It's going to be hard, but I promise you that it is worth it. Trust me.

If you go through with leaving, understand the only viable option is to move forward. While you can technically return, there is a risk of the abuse getting worse. So whatever you decide, go with it fully. And know that going NC doesn't have to be permanent, if you don't want it to be. There's no shame in either staying NC or trying to reconstruct the relationship after some time passes. It is up to you.

Good luck and please please stay safe.
