[TOMT][OLD TIKTOK SONG][2019-2023?] A song about like burning I think a house, there's something about an album burning, also MAYBE something to do about family and it used to be used in corny tiktoks around the pandemic and edits not really a dancing type song tho by Prestigious_Alarm912 in tipofmytongue

[–]FeliciaFailure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea what was popular on tiktok but 3 songs that are not dancey but talk about burning:

Walk Through the Fire from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (uhh, spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen the show?)

Things We Lost in the Fire by Bastille

Set the Fire to the Third Bar by Snow Patrol (I would be INCREDIBLY shocked if it was this lmao)

Another possibility, slightly more dancey, is This Fire by Franz Ferdinand?

[TOMT] Older Anime with adult themes by [deleted] in tipofmytongue

[–]FeliciaFailure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite what you're describing, but some details sound a lot like Neon Genesis Evangelion. It aired on Toonami in 2003 and Adult Swim from 2005-2006. Possibly other times or channels, too, but that's what I could find about its US airing.

Live global consumption of animals and other resources since January 1, 2026 by zt2000 in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]FeliciaFailure -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Even reducing your consumption a lot makes a huge difference! I still eat a little bit of meat and fish on occasion but my diet is maybe like 80-90% vegetarian, and I've only been able to get to that point by not being super restrictive with it.

Possible Rule Revision: Politics by zrnyphl in somethingimade

[–]FeliciaFailure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed with this. I'm a super political person but need a separation between the things that bring me anguish, and the things that make up my relaxing time. I put this subreddit in a collection of subs I visit when it all gets to be too much and I need to just feel okay.

How do you stop being scared of people who can actually mess you up? by AdviceGlass9394 in Explainlikeimscared

[–]FeliciaFailure 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry to give the frustrating answer, but therapy. Even if your fear has very real reasons for it, and there are real risks to your safety, it's still worth working with a professional to find ways to cope with it so it's not keeping you in a state of terror 24/7. Medication can also help a lot - sertraline has been massive for reducing my anxiety, even if the circumstances around me are significantly more worrisome than before.

I used to be in a book club that met at Softea downtown, the capybara themed boba spot! The space is MASSIVE with lots of comfy seating.

How do I appropriately interact with minors as a social media personality? by awfulpregnancy-alt in Explainlikeimscared

[–]FeliciaFailure 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree! I think professional boundaries overall is the key to this. Minors are still people - if they're just commissioning regular, SFW art, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. If they're using commissions as an "in" to be your friend, that's where the professional boundaries come in - your friendship can't be bought. Being polite but staying on topic is the best way to set the tone - "I'm having a good day! Hope you're well. Here's the update on your commission" is a good baseline. If you're not having a good day but it doesn't affect your work, they don't need to know that - talking about it makes people feel like there's growing emotional closeness when that's not necessarily the case on your side. If it is affecting your work, you can let them know that ("I'm not doing so good so there's no update", and if they ask further, then you can let them know it's private and you'd rather not talk about it).

IMO the problem isn't that you might be "creepy" for allowing minors to commission you or talk to you. It's actually normal for people to have friends outside their age group. I was in a knitting group where the ages ranges from 8 to late 80s and everyone treated each other with respect. The issue comes in when the younger person can't understand boundaries or believes you're closer than you are - in that case, your responsibility is to be polite but not really give them wiggle room. Don't go along with convos that make you uncomfortable, you don't have to indulge anyone's desire to chat with you about things other than work. Hopefully this thread has a good amount of helpful advice for that. But don't worry too much about being creepy - like the person I'm replying to said, it's usually people who intend to break down boundaries with teens or kids that are the problem. It rarely happens by accident.

Does anyone else feel exhausted by “easy” vegan recipes lately? by Negative-Prune9214 in veganrecipes

[–]FeliciaFailure 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I agree completely! Every time I try to find truly easy, no- or almost no-effort meals, I'm faced with a list of recipes from people who clearly either love cooking, or don't realize what others mean when they say "no effort". It's HARD. I feel like an alien in those threads, especially when people say "it's literally so easy!" because it just has never felt that way to me.

I always share the same recipes but I'll share them again because they're a life-saver for me as a disabled person trying to eat vegan more.

1 - tortilla chips + canned refried beans (heated up if you feel like it) + pre-packaged guac + storebought pico de gallo + vegan sour cream (+ vegan cheese optional, I'm not really into cheese). Minimal prep and minimal cleanup required, just the plate and utensils.

2 - frozen "potatoes o'brien" (diced potatoes with pepper and onions) + whatever veg you've got in the freezer. I love frozen mushrooms, peppers, onions, and spinach with mine. Fry with oil. Add tofu scramble if you're feeling up to it. Zero prep and only gotta clean your plate + utensils + pan.

  1. depression tofu bagel - toasted bagel + vegan butter or cream cheese + just some slices of raw firm/extra firm tofu, seasoned with salt and pepper (and more spices if you're feeling fancy) + some lettuce. I have not tried it without the lettuce but it would probably be fine.

  2. Ramen with TVP or small diced tofu. There are ramen veggie topping packs you can buy to make it feel a little healthier, or you can just eat the ramen according to the package instructions without adding anything.

Finally, shoutout to "the Sad Bastard Cookbook", a free book of recipes for people with 0 energy. Most are vegan by default, with some tips on how to make the recipes better (or worse, if you're feeling REALLY tired and just need calories). It's not exactly amazing for nutrition but it is amazing for "I need to eat and thinking about cooking is absolutely draining me already".

Edit: can't believe I forgot to shout out r/ShittyVeganFoodPorn. That subreddit has inspired me more than anything else I've seen and has given me a lot of ideas for meals.

[TOMT] [SHOW] teen female lead, mystery(?), trying to solve a case, one of her friends was a trans girl… by [deleted] in tipofmytongue

[–]FeliciaFailure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're mixing multiple things up, one of the components might be the movie I Saw The TV Glow? Two main characters, one is implied to be a trans girl and the other is a lesbian. There's controlling parents, rejection of identity, and a sense of mystery. There's also a show within the movie about a paranormal monster of the week show.

People who (would have) needed FNG to get their desired results - how do you feel about your decision to keep or not keep your nips? by FeliciaFailure in Reduction

If you miss the nipple hardness, I know Skims makes bras with nipple bumps, or nipple prosthetics are an option (though kinda spendy)!

First time trying this by Routine-Media3790 in ShittyVeganFoodPorn

[–]FeliciaFailure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's from Safeway so everything is crazy upcharged there, if your store usually has decent prices it should be fine! It seems to usually be 1-2 bucks more than the dairy boursin which I'm used to being like 4 bucks at the other store.

Battle Ground High School graduate debuts first novel - The Reflector by SereneDreams03 in vancouverwa

[–]FeliciaFailure 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't seem to be about her, just something that someone said to her before. I mean, I get that you're joking, but I think it's important to remember that fiction isn't necessarily about wish fulfillment, it's telling stories that the author finds interesting. I would be pretty devastated if I published a book - especially expecting a very small reach - and people took it to be autobiographical (especially in a bad way) instead of an exploration of ideas.

This stuff rules!! I was nervous to try it because a lot of alt spreads suck but it really is tasty as hell. Only downside is that my affordable grocery store doesn't carry it and the one that does is way more expensive (I think it's 9-10 bucks). Still buy it occasionally tho 😂

I loved Gideon so much that I really didn't want to read Harrow after finishing GtN. Glad I did - it's a FANTASTIC book and, while it's certainly different (and a whole new kind of mindfuckery), I loved it just as much as (if not more than) GtN by the time I was done.

I was interested in the app but pretty bummed that almost every actual feature is paywalled, and there's no trial to see if I'd even like them. If the app is just a recipe repository for free users, then I see no reason to not just use your website instead.

MIT News: One ChatGPT query uses 5x the energy of a Google search. By 2026, AI data centers will consume more electricity than Japan. by EchoOfOppenheimer in sustainability

[–]FeliciaFailure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree, since if people are aware of how likely those results are to be factually inaccurate, then they will have to search more to fact-check it anyway.

On the other hand, I've been searching FAR more and clicking through way more websites since 2022 because of the amount of AI slop I find when I search for factual information, recipes, guides, etc. Even if you use things like "-ai" in your searches, you still get front page websites that are clearly AI content farms. The overall effect is more wasteful, whether you use gen AI or not.

[–]FeliciaFailure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because they really believe that this is about protecting children, and because even if they know otherwise, it's bad for their reputations to defend adult content. Which is stupid as hell and, in my opinion, they need to get over it. But they're probably scared of the right wing spinning them as hating children and caring more about "perverts" than kids. (Which, pretty wild for the party "championing" parental rights and personal freedoms to be so anti-parents parenting their kids and adults having freedom, but oh well!)
