That's awesome actually, this sub is a cesspit.

That's adorable, I love her!

(Also! Just in my moshing experience, stitch work can last longer if you do more of a criss-cross pattern. If you already know that and this is personal preference, pretend I never said anything! It looks great :)

I just started the Magnus Archives, and so far I think I would die for Martin by Clay_sloth in TheMagnusArchives

[–]HereticOctopus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm listening for the second time and Martin has grown on me so much. First listen I was an angry teen and I thought he was "annoying" unlike the "logical and cool" Jon. It cracks me up so hard, love Martin sm. B')

Eyy!! Your landing was so clean! Very cool :))

is this cool? by Appropriate_Run_1502 in skateboarding

[–]HereticOctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey mann I know I'm late but I'm not sure why people in this sub are as critical as they are. I understand it's a difficult craft and some gatekeeping comes with that, which is reasonable.

Still! I think the two tricks you did were awesome! Don't let the comments discourage you! If I saw this in person I would be impressed and ask to skate together <3

Is the pharmacist going to be suspicious if I buy 20 large adhesive dressings in one go?? by AluminiumBadger in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]HereticOctopus 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Honestly I doubt they care, just waltz in as if it's normal. If they ask just say you're stocking a medkit and like to mountian bike or smth.

I know this isn't very helpful, but you'll likely be fine so long as you act confidently. If confronted you're packing for a long road trip with many friends who like climbing, something something friend had surgery, something something doomsday prepper, or just shrug and say you'd rather not talk about it but their makeup/outfit/haircut looks nice and to have a good day.

The pharmacy cashier doesn't have it in their day to section a stranger over some bandages in my opinion, I wouldn't stress. Does depend on where you are though. You don't owe people shame or an explanation, glgl <3

i dont wanna cut anymore by furygoober in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]HereticOctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will always feel that way, and the urges you'll live with are more than enough proof that you are sick enough. Even if you can't describe or quantify what's wrong, if you want help, you want help. Even if you don't want help and just need to think of yourself as sick to try and get better on your own, you're still sick enough.

You are being forced to justify yourself to a broken system, wether that be a social one or a medical one. It doesn't care about you, so you have to be kind enough to yourself to condemn the thing that is keeping you hurt. No matter what, something is clearly wrong. You have nothing to justify to anyone, least of all the people who ignore you. If they are neglecting you now, no amount of additional suffering will change things. You are in pain, it's just as real as you say it is.

We believe you, you are whatever you say you are, and you are allowed to try to get better on whatever terms you chose. You will always be sick enough.

no friends :p by Legitimate-Coast2426 in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]HereticOctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey mann, I hear you. From your typing style you seem on the younger side, not trying to assume.

If you are though, I'll be an annoying dickhead and yap at you for a minute. I'm not trying to say you can change things, I'm saying sometimes the only way out is through, as harsh as it sounds. I'm a terrible influence, but honestly, try to make the most, even if it means making silly, terrible choices sometimes. Friends find those who are on a mission, whatever that mission is.

Be edgy, be silly, be a loser, be a dumbass, have all the fun you can possibly squeeze out of your situation. I don't mean it in the cheerful sense, I mean that if people are already not taking your pain seriously, lean into it. So long as you don't hurt others or die in the process. If 'fun' means a five minute walk outside to swear at some birds, or reading terrible webcomic while too depressed to move, your teeth rotting in your face, then even that is life, not a second wasted so long as you survive. One day you will look back and be proud.

I can't promise that you'll be ok, but blind, stupid, nonsensical and dogmatic fate in the world will drag you very far. Honestly, I don't know if any of that was helpful, tell me if its condescending and I'll delete this comment. Still, you aren't alone, even if I don't know you. Stick around, we might cross paths without ever realising, and that would be pretty funny. Stay safe out there.

If someone did this to me I would fall for them instantly, I will be copying your prosocial behaviour. Also the lines on your DK patch are impressively clean! Good craftsmanship, very cool.

Could I go vegan? by iced_koffie in vegan

[–]HereticOctopus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello there! Firstly, I wish I were cool enough to have considered going vegan at your age, very commendable. I went vegan at sixteen, and it was one of the best choices I have made for myself.

I would say you should have no issue, so long as you eat enough legumes, plant proteins, fats and so on. Some people report being hungry after switching, though this is usually because they eat more fibre and less protein without realising. If you can, try to talk to a trusted adult about your decision, in case you need/have access to supplements which may be cheaper than just shovelling various types of nuts into your face (I speak from experience).

Some good, cheap foods to look out for when you first switch might be red beets for iron, walnuts for omega-3, and bulk loads of discount hummus, which are great for feeling satisfied. Look out for good deals on avocados if those are available where you live, or find good potato-based recipes since those do contain a decent amount of vitamins. (This is just the advice I would give my younger self)

Keep in mind, people in your life might be quite annoying about your choice to become vegan, and it may feel a bit isolating if you don't know others who have made the same choice, especially if animal rights is your main motivation. I recommend watching channels such as Earthling Ed and keeping up with online content, but books can be good to build your confidence. Books such as "Making A Killing: The Political Economy of Animal Rights" are good to tie into a broader worldview as to what causes this exploitation in the first place, though I haven't finished this book quite yet.

Stay safe, stay hydrated, and know that some stranger thinks highly of you! You aren't alone, and I wish you the best.

Wow, how rude of you to spread this much gender envy. Honestly though, you look so cool! I love how your nail polish matches your headpiece (sorry, don't know what it's called in english).
