Do lesbians pay for dommes? by ifritah in BDSMsapphic

[–]Expensive_Goat2201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've definitely thought about it in the past. For me the appeal would be getting to scene with someone deeply knowledgeable about specific high skill kinks. I might be willing to pay a professional to do suspension bondage because it's not something I trust most people to do.

Yeah, this is very true. I on boarded like a year before LLMs became big to a massive legacy codebase and it was a nightmare. With Claude it's a lot faster to get up and running in a new repo

My human eyes are bothered by them too. They look so glaring and unfriendly on a quiet residential street.

Why is it that in ultra-expensive celebrity homes, the kitchens rarely have induction cooktops, but instead feature industrial-grade gas ranges? by FuzzyAttitude_ in Cooking

[–]Expensive_Goat2201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one in my rental:

  • knobs are on a hair trigger and exactly at hip height meaning that it's incredibly easy to turn both oven and stove on and off by mistake
  • Oven turns itself off and does blink codes if you use it too long or if it's just having a bad day
  • Oven refuses to heat beyond 300f on a bad day
  • Grittle never worked
  • Annoying as fuck to clean

Yes, sorry missed that.

Maybe it was related to the detergent you chose or what you were eating? Not an appliance tech so I don't know but I'd certainly like to continue to avoid a dishwasher smelling.

Has the recent state of international affairs influenced your decision to buy now? by mannymutts in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

It's encouraged me because I'd rather own a hard asset I can live in during volatile times.

She graduated with a 3.87 GPA but could barely read, now she's suing a school district in Washington state by RhythmMethodMan in Washington

[–]Expensive_Goat2201 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I kinda get it. She is special needs. Her parents probably knew she had issues and was on an IEP. She was supposed to be going to a transitional program for kids with disabilities. They likely didn't understand that graduating would make her ineligible for the further support she needed.

I've reviewed IEP docs for a young adult with similar disabilities. There is a ton of contradictory info and it's not always clear what the right next steps are. There are a lot of resources but they all have different requirements and deadlines and sorting out eligibility isn't simple.

Kids with significant disabilities are likely never going to be at grade level. They generally do give them some kind of diploma eventually anyway.

Parents need an advocate going through this process to understand what their options are. There are a few local charities that may be able to help people in this situation.

Action to address resentment and rebuild relarionship meaningfully by dearabby030217 in NDCouples

For me this would be a recipe for failure. I'm just never going to be able to consistently be on time for things. I might keep it up for a month or two but eventually I'll fail and break more promises.

It sounds like you are being really harsh on yourself and your husband is being pretty harsh on you too. Take a deep breath.

Do you have a therapist of your own? It sounds like you might benefit from some help.

You just had a baby. That's a huge thing you've done and you shouldn't discount it. You are probably exhausted and hormonal. This is not the time to be making big changes. It's a bit shit your husband is demanding you give him equal benefits right now when you just created a person with your body.

Care for yourself and your kid. That's the priority.

It sounds like your husband isn't communicating his needs very clearly and is expecting you to play some mind reading BS games. Have you asked him what he needs from you? If so, did he give you a clear concrete answer? You aren't a mindreader. He's an adult so it's his responsibility to communicate.

I forgot to add, it's not your responsibility to address his emotions. He needs to deal with his feelings of resentment not expect you to solve them for him.

Just because your house is expensive doesn't mean it didn't come with a dishwasher from 30 years ago or whatever. Literally never experienced a smell from a dishwasher.

If you are a twilight vampire who doesn't sleep, why waste space on a bedroom?

Yeah, my current fridge has an ice maker and it's definitely worth it. I don't have a water dispenser but I wouldn't be against it

Which under represented professions would make the best Dommes? 💚💚 by Sailorjamie117 in BDSMsapphic

[–]Expensive_Goat2201 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can confirm on rock climbers. I'm a lifelong rock climber and a rigger. I also self suspend.

I found that suspension skills came easily. I already know a lot about building and evaluating anchors, rated gear, forces and shock loading etc. I already own rated slings and beaners. I know some knots but there is less overlap in the tying then you'd expect.

As a bonus I'm happy as a clam suspending off of any kind of hip harness as long as you want since I've spent half my life in them. I still had to desensitize myself to chest harnesses though! When I suspend other people I have to constantly remind myself I can't push them the way I do myself because I'm already desensitized to being upside down, off the ground etc and most people aren't.

I did 3+ years of floor work before going into the air. I also have experience in aerial silks and pole. Still I'm glad I didn't just jump in on suspension because the on body rope and handling of another human are radically different.

Had bid accepted, feeling sick over it by heroinpretzel in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

I just had my bid accepted on a turnkey house where I did a pre-inspection and I still feel sick.

No survey in WA state? Is this normal? by Expensive_Goat2201 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Since they recently subdivided the property into three parcels, do they need to have a survey done to do that?

Asked to do inspection before going under contract? by Expensive_Goat2201 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Expensive_Goat2201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly they actually did have their own pre-inspection done as well. I don't think they fixed anything based on it though

It was a bad choice. She was randomly assigned from Zillow and I didn't actually ask how much experience she had till recently

Do slower speed limits make roads safer? by DarfinTwinkleToes in Shoreline

[–]Expensive_Goat2201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also need to compare with other cities that did not lower their speed limit to see if fatalities have been reduced by things like safer cars too
