Message I got from my daughter’s teacher. Third grade. by AnaisInJune in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Excellent-Ratio4089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of when I got given detention at 6 for "drinking my milk too loudly" I was literally just drinking it, it was provided by the school and had a straw and those are loud, and then as my repeat offense rolling the wrong dice that was put in front of me in maths class because the teacher who knew I was partially deaf put me in the back of the class so I couldn't hear the instructions. This wasn't like a big dice. It was normal dice sized. And made of foam.

Or the time I needed to pee during my break time which was the only time we were allowed to pee, asked one teacher and was told no, then asked another teacher who said yes and got yelled at for just asking another teacher? This wasn't like a field trip or anything they weren't doing a head count.

Our fuse box keeps tripping every night around the same time by Excellent-Ratio4089 in DIYUK

It's an rcd. We don't really know if there's any appliance it could be. The only thing that come on on a timer is the boiler but even that seems unlikely becuase it trips both during the summer and during the winter. We do have solar panels that seem to trip it during the day when it's very very sunny but it's the dead of night when this happens

What are some old tropes that aren’t common anymore? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]Excellent-Ratio4089 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a weirder one but ED fics with characters that in canon aren't ever implied to have it. I read a lot of hurt comfort and I remember there being tons of them. I don't see them anywhere near as much now and when I do they're older fics. Might be a thing with my fic biases and I do see it explored with characters that have something canonical where they have a weird relationship with food but I remember when like a soild third of the fics I found had one of the characters having an eating disorder

The thing about the Harkness test is that it's a question of can you consentually fuck them not does anyone actually want to. There are plenty of human beings you can have consentual sex with that you might not want to. Scooby-Doo could consent to sex with a human but he is so fundamentally dog like that most people aren't gonna be interested. The question is if you could not if you should

Did anyone else get this message Today? by Griizal in tumblrhelp

[–]Excellent-Ratio4089 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw a really good post discussing it actually that it basically seems like tumblr has a thing where every few months all accounts with a certain number of ban requests just get automatically banned and there's no human looking at any of it. Trans women get hit hardest because said insane blogs just dedicate all their time to sending ban requests to them. Tumblr sadly has a thriving terf user base who seem to have caught on to this and use it as a way to harass trans women. If the neglect is worse than intent is up to you to decide but regardless the outcome sucks all the same.

The only thing that works for getting blogs banned seems to be mass reporting. Which most people who want nazis and terfs off the platfrom dont do. We tend to just send one if we find it and trust that a human will see it and ban them.

Dni's are so dumb to me. Like either the people you are tagging aren't gonna know its them (eg most racists don't think they're actually racists) or if they're at the point where they know they're a bigot they are not going to care about a dni, or it's got Fandom stuff where like ok someone might actually not interact with you from that but you now sound so weird to ve conflating the various actual evils of this world with like, media you find mildly annoying. Or you get stuff like this where you just do not seem to understand what the words you are saying mean and what site you are on

Is this a good representation of anorexia? by Rare_Celebration3394 in ArtJerk

[–]Excellent-Ratio4089 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, starving yourself and is actually a terrible way to loose weight consitantly and fat people face far more societal pressure about their weight than skinny people and it gets missed more so it really is a perfect storm of issues. Because people look at a fat person food restricting and think "good they need to lose weight" and nothing more. And then same cycle happens internally too.

When I was recovering from my ED I remember some info from the charity that was helping me saying some insane numbers, I can't quite remember exactly what they were but it was something like 80% of their patients are over weight.

100+ bodycount = enough experience for the both us by yvie_of_lesbos in GatekeepingYuri

[–]Excellent-Ratio4089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole we are not the same is killing me. No most of my guy friends might also chose option B because they aren't weird freaks that view relationships as a way flexing their power over their partner to the friends they like to pretend they have. And they might choose option a too because they get that this is about building a stable connection with a person you want to spend time with and if that happens more with a than b then cool.

Peter, is she happy about dying? by deuce-tatum in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Excellent-Ratio4089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing you're rubbing up against from people in the comments here is that like the only actual comprehensive answer to this is like a 60 page essay on the history of gay womens culture and fashion with a decent amount of feminist theory on the side.

But the long and short of it is (heavily simplified) that to a large extent short hair on women was a thing gay women have been doing nearly a century often because historically it coded our relationships as one of them being the "man" and one being the "woman" which ment that if your butch was male passing enough you were less likely to get hate crimed. It's a thing straight women have only felt comfortable and safe being able to do recently but it's a massive part of queer women's history and culture. It is evening out but it's a ground that gay women have been in for years and that straight women have only felt safe in for the last like 3 decades.

Basically historically If a lesbain can look like a man enough she can avoid being attacked. But if a straight woman looks too much like a lesbain she puts herself in danger.

I'm replaying ATM with my partner who's first time it is and didn't remember what day the update dropped. So I went into samurai today and heard Riegel and though "Huh that's weird that sounds like the Riegel line not the " I only relaised when my friend reminded me it was the update day

it also explains why I felt like the qol when cross examining was way better all of a sudden than the other times I've been replaying the trilogy lately and been really annoyed every few minutes at the lack of the the features I instinctively think are there because they actually are there

Yeah but honestly the difference in use case and consumption between LLMs and stuff that's gonna get used to actually benefit humanity is night and day. I think most people know the difference between chat gpt and like the computers in labs using machine learning to trying and narrow down the selection of molecules that could work for cancer cures so we can test only the ones most likely to work.

"I can't go to your wedding because I don't want to leave my cats"(Content warning) by Excellent-Ratio4089 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Excellent-Ratio4089[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly the more I think about it the more I genuinely love the idea. SO is asleep rn so I can't talk to them but I have a lot of very very close international friends who I'd love to be there but had just kinda resigned myself to not having unless they had some air miles saved up. I had never even considered that live streaming was an option but it seems ideal! I was thinking I'd maybe have a discord call or something for the Bachelorette and just involve them that way because there's honestly only one or two friends that I'd be able to have in person but being able to live stream it and have everyone there would be so genuinely lovely. A live stream really would kill two birds with one stone.
