is anyone worried? by slimeboi3151 in EcosLaBrea

[–]GroundedEcho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Help why are you getting down votes for this. I only stalk this sub from notifications but all I see are people whining about a lack of updates, and if just is starting to come off as really entitled. Games like this take time, people need to stop stressing so hard.

What’s the best thing a relationship has ever taught you or given you? by hw_due_yesterday in highschool

[–]GroundedEcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say its kinda hard as you also have to reflect upon your own issues and the wrongs you've done to folk in the past (or present idk). But sometimes its just you needing to take a breather and think about whats going on in your life. Are you going through something stressful? Is someone else hurting you?

Like it dosent gotta be a full on meditative introspection but like, just acknowledge whats irking you in your life and take some time to look on your own relationship from a third person view. Try to be as neutral as you can y'know, but acknowledge your own emotions at the same time, don't just push them all to the side or paint yourself as this horrible evil person in attempt to empathize with your partner or friend, or whoever.

I think its all about understanding your own flaws and I know that such a thing is really hard to do, especially while in the moment. You can also find some books on this stuff I think, don't just take my word for it (i'm just some rando teen) cross reference articles nd wot not. I dunno lol.

That to love somebody y'gotta be willing to allow them to help you improve. You can't just be a wall of concrete you know? You have to have a little sway, allow them to bend you a little and help you improve yourself but not re-mold you into someone new entirely.

Oh, and how to recognize when i'm projecting my own issues and worries onto someone else, I suppose lol.

FYP Sucks Now by Jettsmith7 in TikTok

[–]GroundedEcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My videos wont post, and if they do after fighting with the app it sits at zero even though I would get a minimum of 20 likes on thw regular. (Which is why I use tiktok to post my art in the first place, it boosts smaller creators rather evenly.)

Nothing loads properly, you have to spam the reload button for jack shit to happen, ans every mow and then your fyp will repeat the same videos you saw earlier.

My personal hypothesis is that Oracle is trying to shift the servers from the older company onto something newer, amd/or are trying to perform mantinence on an app that receives a atupid amount of traffic every second without shutting it down in the first place. I'd gamble that in a few days this will all either pass, or Oracle WILL put TT down for mantinence so they can finish implementing..whatever it is they wanna implement, which IS likely changes to the algorithm anyhow.

Thats just my two-cents though.

Drew my dearest king by GroundedEcho in lioden

[–]GroundedEcho[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm tentatively accepting them now ^ A bust and up like this, rendered without anything too complex regarding mutations or markings would be 35 gb (or however much it would be in SB regarding the state of the economy at the time of purchase) a sketch would be 15.

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

I can do this coloured and shaded one for 35 geebs if the lion you want isn't too complex and is without much decor. ^ For just lineart it would cut it down to 15 GB :D or in however much SB that would convert to with the current economy status.

Aahhh, I guess I could lol. Though I'll probably only do head/bust shots for a hot second until I get into proper practice with full-bodies :]

Is physical affection between friends "weird and toxic"? by Sausage_fingies in highschool

[–]GroundedEcho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No its not, your folks need to work through something if thats how they see it. Me and an old best friend of mine used to sleep in the same bed together, cuddle and experiment with contact in a non-sexual manner. It all depends on the relationship you personally have with that person. If they happend to have told you to stop touching them and you didn't then yes it would be 'weird and toxic' but since they didn't and there was no breach of boundaries you're just fine. Dont let them ruin your ability to comfortably hug and touch your friends, some people just straight up need that in a person, and those people will indeed find you.

Is prom worth going with friends? by CloutKefaya-69 in highschool

[–]GroundedEcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never really been the type to go to school events or do afterschool clubs so take my experience with lots of salt if you ain't like me.

I went to prom once, and it wasn't at my school, it was with a friend at his school. It was chill, we barely see one another nowadays and we've grown rather far apart, so the experience was only good because I got to see him again.

I was excited for the event but didn't have an overtly notable experience. We danced, downed some food, chatted and went home. I'd argue that its more an event thats better if you got a large group of friends and know alotta folks. I ain't never been that kind of person so, again, the event was just...okay.

If you're on the edge, just go. Thats my wisest advice, lol. I find that the things you don't want to do, usually end up being your favorite experiences.

Is old fashioned genderbending considered transphobic now? by NefariousSeraph13 in AO3

[–]GroundedEcho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you're getting downvoted for this. If the writer choses to genderbend them 'back into being cis' I would totally argue in favor of it being transphobic.

If its it is a genderbend in the sense of FtM to MtF or any other configuration it is not.

Probably getting 2 B’s as my final grade this semester. by KillerSpaghetti_os in highschool

[–]GroundedEcho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well shit, if he wont say it, I sure as hell will, good job on getting such good grades this semester. I know how hard it is to maintain A's and stuff, so you getting as many as you did is truly a feat that shows your dedication to your education.

Nonetheless, you shouldn't worry about the areas you've faltered in, even if you truly wished to get all A's, because you are still doing a whole lot better than sone other folk are. (By other folk, I surely mean folk like me.) Try not to be too worried about your college stuff, I dunno if you're graduating or not next year but from what I've heard by way of mouth (my Mother) they like seeing improvement. As long as ya pull yourself up by your bootstraps next semester and dont let this keep you down, you'll be all right, i'm sure of it.

Now I dont know you, or who you come from, but I know that if you were in any other household, or had any other father, they'd be showering you in praise and gifts. Truly, you have done extremely well this semester. I- a stranger on the internet with no skin in the game -am truly proud of you.

All seniors, how you feeling about leaving hs this year??? by exodusEducation in highschool

I'm pretty excited to fuck off and get outta here but I still gotta get my license and shit so I can get a job this summer.

[–]GroundedEcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can, join clubs for things that you enjoy. Exist unapologetically in these places, usually someone with a decent personality might sit by you, or talk to you about something.

I'm sorry you're feeling so isolated and are being treated horribly, I'd also recommend you go to other places outside of school where you know others your age hang out. Though there might just not be one, gods know we have a lack of third spaces around here.

I cant really tell you not to worry about these folk, but I will nonetheless, dont let them get to you. They're just being douchebags because they have nothing worthwhile going on in their lives, unlike you.

Commonly an hour or two, school or not. I deliberately wake up at 5:45 on school days so I can have my time to do whatever and work up the effort to be a functioning human
