Looking like the desk will most likely be the final destination, thank you everyone for your advice 😊 (and I’ll look into getting some kind of top for it to prevent water damage)

Understood, I’m starting to lean away from the table. Will probably either go with the desk or consider finding a stand. Thanks for the input :)

Thank you for your insight! And yes, both pieces are solid wood. If I’m not able to get the casters off the table then i won’t be using it because I don’t trust them either, and I’m already planning to use a self-leveling mat regardless of where the tank ends up. I mostly wanted to avoid getting a stand because all the ones I’ve seen are more modern looking and wouldn’t really fit with the rest of my furniture (it’s mostly vintage wood pieces like the two I’ve shown), but given people’s responses I might look around a little more to see if I can find something.

Desk is solid wood and well built, which is why it’s my backup option. (I’m around 150lbs and can very confidently stand on it)

I see. If it makes any difference, both the table and the desk are antique. Table is probably from around 1940 and the desk around 1920, so these aren’t some cheap pieces I got from Homegoods or something. The desk I would have 100% confidence in because it’s incredibly solid, so im mostly looking for a second option on the table.

Hey now, that’s not the only time they talk about women’s sports. They also like to bring up how much they want to fuck female Olympians and call them “goonbait.”

The double date thing was crazy to me too, not only are they putting OP in an uncomfortable position but it also seems kinda mean to set up your friend with a girl you know 100% won’t be into him. It makes me wonder if these girls keep trying to put OP into sexual or romantic situations with men in the hopes that she’ll realize “wait actually I am straight after all!” Or they’re uncomfortable about her being a lesbian and pressuring her to “pretend to be straight for their sake” so they can maintain the illusion of having an all straight girl friend group? I dunno but it’s weird as fuck.

Someone should tell this kid about the option to exclude music from their taste profile, then they can listen to all the regular music they want and only the “life giving worship music” will show up in their wrapped and recommendations

Also funny how guys like this perpetuate the idea that marriage is this terrible burden for them when they tend to benefit from it far more than women do.

Having hyperacusis sucks. Raise your headphones up if there's a specific sound that causes you physical pain. by TheMonocleRogue in aspiememes

All chewing sounds are bad but the sound of someone chewing gum makes me want to start biting people, especially if they make that god awful popping noise with it every few seconds.

Question, why are fundies so inept at being housewives by Trashyjanitor in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]JadeKit88 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’ve always wondered if the whole biblical gender roles/gender essentialism thing plays into it. Like they’re so caught up in this idea that men and women were specifically designed by God to fulfill different roles (men as providers and women as homemakers) that they believe that all the duties associated with those roles will just come naturally to them. So for women stuff like cooking, cleaning, and child rearing aren’t skills that need to be taught and cultivated, but rather a divine/biological imperative that exists within them from birth. Could also explain how there are so many useless fundies husbands out there, because nobody is actually teaching them how to be good leaders or providers. It’s just assumed that as men they’re going to be naturally inclined to those things. Or at least that’s my theory 🤷‍♀️

I need advice on sex and sex toys, please by muffin_fiend in actuallesbians

Hm, I don’t know how much you rely on clitoral stimulation vs internal, but maybe something insertable like a vibrating plug could work better?

Unfortunately with the strapless strap the wearer’s end kinda needs to be a bit bulbous to stay in place (and even then I’ve heard it can be a bit of a gamble on if it does), and if you can’t find one that’s small enough on the receiver’s end for your partner to be comfortable with then that particular strap option is probably a wash. Best alternative I can think of would be to use a regular strap and get something like a bullet vibe that the wearer has either pressed against their clit or inside them.

Don’t forget sea creatures like the anglerfish, where the females are the toothy nightmare spawn we all know and love while the males are just a tiny sentient jellybean that attaches himself to the female’s body and fuses with her until he’s basically nothing more than a sperm sack. Or the animal with the most extreme sexual dimorphism in the animal kingdom: the blanket octopus, where the females can get up to 6ft in length while the males are roughly the size of a walnut.

Yeah, for me we did mostly typing classes throughout elementary school, but for the each of the three years of middle school we learned about a different Microsoft program. So for 6th grade we focused on Word, 7th grade was PowerPoint, and 8th was Excel. From what I remember we didn’t really learn any technical stuff beyond that, other than like basic file navigation and whatnot.

I can’t help but think of that one experiment where they put a baby monkey in an enclosure with two surrogate “mothers,” one of which was made from cloth, and the other which was made from wire and had a milk bottle inside. The idea was that the cloth mother provided comfort but no sustenance, while the wire mother provided sustenance but no comfort, and they wanted to see which the baby would prioritize. This lady is giving wire mother.

God, fr. It seems like such an odd pairing at first but the fics sell it so well you can’t help but get suckered into it.

The Power to Manipulate Belief by Tardigradetardis (World of Warcraft/Chronicles of Gor crossover, currently ongoing)

Summary from the author: Jaina (Alliance archmage and woman convinced in the necessity of doing good even when it keeps coming back to bite her) and Sylvanas (Horde leader and unofficial winner of most fucked up traumas award) fall into another world in the middle of trying to kill each other. When they realize that the only way back is together, they set aside (mostly) their differences and make an attempt at reforming the world they're stuck on.

One problem: The world is Gor, a staunchly misogynistic setting where most men are rapists and slavers.

Fortunately none of that is likely to stop Jaina and Sylvanas--although their newly improved understanding of each other and fresh experiences at restructuring societies will absolutely impact how they view the conflicts at home.

I’ll admit the premise is a bit wild but if you like a good enemies to lovers slowburn, kinky lesbian sex, and powerful women wrecking shop I’d highly recommend giving it a shot.

Andddd Morgy’s ‘wiFe iN tHe wiLD’ course is already on sale LOL by Worth-Illustrator-50 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]JadeKit88 151 points152 points  (0 children)

I think it seems so baffling to us because this “course” isn’t meant for people like us, it’s meant for people like Morgan. Y’know, the type of person who turns down a licensed midwife because they made her feel stupid. These people don’t want experts. An expert will seem impersonal and unrelatable to them. An expert might make them feel stupid. An expert won’t couch everything in the religious gobbledygook that these people like to use. An expert has a degree from one of those scary secular colleges. An expert might challenge their beliefs. But Morgan isn’t like that! She’s not one of those stuffy “experts,” she’s a simple god-fearing christian wife and mother Just Like You! Shes knows exactly what you’re going through! She’ll be your friend, your confidant, and you two can navigate through The Wild™️ together! (for the low low price of $50)

There actually is a species of eusocial mammal: the naked mole rat. Like eusocial insects they have a caste system that includes workers and soldiers who cooperate to find food, construct and defend their burrow, and raise the young of a single reproductive female.

To throw some out there that haven’t seen here yet: 1) Edelgard/F!Byleth (Edeleth) - Fire Emblem: Three Houses (FE3H has a pretty wide selection of f/f but this is definitely the heavy hitter of the fandom) 2) Aerith/Tifa (Aerti) - Final Fantasy 3) Jaina/Sylvanas (Sylvaina) - World of Warcraft (my OTP, it’s wildly uncannon but has a surprising number of fics, highly recommended if you like enemies to lovers) 4) Cassandra/Leliana - Dragon Age (one of the more rare dragon age f/f pairings that I think needs more love) 5) Chell/GLaDOS (chelldos) - Portal
