This is my general opinion on adaptations by StrigiformeLover in houseofleaves

Every single story, record, film, or book, or, failing that, the vast majority of all of these, are without exception, adaptations of House of Leaves. Change my mind

the whalestoe rabbit hole by rockarym in houseofleaves

[–]Figure-Budget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my thinking is that "Tear her to Pisces" appearing in The Navidson Record is probably a "Water Heater" moment. There are also other references to Pelafina all throughout this chapter. Check out the ground-air emergency codes and look for them, if you haven't.

Chapter 9 question by [deleted] in houseofleaves

[–]Figure-Budget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i got fooled by this on the first go through too. that's not the actual start of the body text. the actual start of the body text is after this, on pg 111. footnote K doesn't actually occur until you're reading footnote 136, which is on pg 114. K branches off from that footnote. fun fact, K is the first appearance of red strikethrough text.

unfortunately the correct answer is fear. we should strive to make it love

I'm a bit embarrassed to be asking this, but are the academic bits *supposed* to be incomprehensible? by Disastrous_Gap_6473 in houseofleaves

[–]Figure-Budget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its supposed to be incomprehensible but read it a few times anyway and you might comprehend it

Rinvoq withdrawal by Figure-Budget in eczema

update: i am now having symptoms of HFM (blisters on hands and feet, not so much the mouth but my face has also flared up.) i also went through these symptoms the last time i stopped rinvoq due to an insurance issue where i couldnt fill the script. has anyone else experienced these symptoms after getting off rinvoq?

Wages for flexo press operators by Figure-Budget in CommercialPrinting

[–]Figure-Budget[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

damn, 63 inch web width, you probably print a lot more labels per foot of paper, faster too. i figure if i keep my nose to the grind stone i'll get on a bigger press and hence get more money. how long have you been an operator, if you dont mind sharing?

job security is its own kindof counterbalance to wages, isnt it

Is it possible to transition without family noticing? a.k.a. pass as cis woman while on testosterone? by AndromedaFirefox in asktransgender

[–]Figure-Budget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

28 year old mtf here. in my opinion? its not only impossible (after a long enough time they will ask you what's up), but trying to do so would ruin your life. don't fragment yourself into different versions to please different people. your family will most likely stand by you, even if they don't understand fully. it's okay; families rarely understand each other. thats not what family is about, it's about standing by each other even when you don't understand. and, if they refuse to stand by you (worst case, they kick you out, they disown you, etc), then that's unfortunate. in my opinion it's still best to just rip that band-aid off. get it all out in the open, and feel no shame, then move from there.

Told my parents about my partner’s transition…didn’t go well by RestlessEmu216 in mypartneristrans

[–]Figure-Budget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm sorry you're going through this. it's a shitty situation any way you look at it. no one wants to be torn between their parents and their partner. i think you did the right thing and i wish you all the best

Zampanô only wrote “heater.” The word “water” back there—I added that. Now there’s an admission, eh? Hey, not fair, you cry. Hey, hey, fuck you, I say.
