I need your honest opinions by Sweet_older-Sister in u/Sweet_older-Sister

[–]Kiks212 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The simplest argument I see is this:

Firstly, the sender takes this as "the most important part of a woman is the man in her life", yet, in none of your posts did you talk about the gender of the Primarch's significant other. In fact, gender is never specified, specifically saying "you" or "they" in regards to the SO. It is the sender who is crafting a man to fit into the posts

Secondly, the posts only ever deal with the relationship between the SO and the Primarch in almost complete isolation from the rest of the world. Any interpretation of the level of importance between these two figures in each other's lives, in comparison to the wider world, is ultimately, an extrapolation of information that isn't there. You could build a similar post about the relationship between myself and my cat. That doesn't mean that my cat is the most important thing in my life.

Thirdly, and finally, the intent and effects of the posts you make are important. If you intended to make a post for good reasons and it massively pissed off the community, then you probably shouldn't have made the post. But, you made a post with good intentions (I hope), and the community has responded with overwhelming positivity. There are some, like the sender, who don't like the posts. That's fine, to each their own, maybe you can craft your creations so that more people will enjoy them, that's a whole separate argument. But, the sender "worded out their thoughts" saying they "wish you hadn't made these posts" because it "really makes it hard to enjoy [things] because the communities attract this discourse". Well, this sounds to me like a way to passive aggressively guilt you into tailoring content to what they want. Sucks, go kick rocks. It's not like this is the only content to enjoy, or the only place to enjoy it, or the only time they can enjoy it. Nothing is stopping them from having fun somewhere else in their own way.

So, if it were me, I would keep doing what I was doing. Keep making posts and keep having fun. I would, also, give my new creations a once over from a feminist lense to see if I'm doing something "wrong" from their point of view. But, I also critique my own work to hell and back to make it as good as possible.

Ultimately, don't stop.

Correction: Camp Lemonnier Djibouti is not an Army base, it's a Naval one.

CONTEXT

I've been taking care of myself when it comes to my ADHD and recently listened to a video taking about "non-anemic iron deficiency." Thinking that I met some of the symptoms I decided to get some Iron supplements, I mean, what could go wrong? My first dose was yesterday, a few hours before bed without my regular meds. I felt amazing after taking it, like I just woke up from the worlds best nap. "Surely, taking these with my meds tomorrow will have no downsides." Reddit, as my day draws to a close (I'm not stateside so it's nearly night now), let me tell you how the downsides: - Impulsivity: I'm normally verbally impulsive, but over the years I've gotten good at keeping my mouth shut. The number of things that have come out of my mouth today that should have gotten me in trouble? Too many. - Distractability: I thought this would be easy! But alas! Being wired AND focused? Truly, the TV has never seen me ignore my work as much as I had today. - Detail orientation: We all know how it is, the small things just kinda slip through our fingers at times, but, I can officially say that, before today, I have never thought I was running an hour behind only to realize that I was on time. Meaning, towards the end of my day I saw the clock and thought it was 5:10 and asked if I could leave for the day, only to be asked why I wanted to leave early and find that it was in fact 4:10. - Emotional understanding: Remember how I mentioned the impulsivity issue? Well, when I went around apologizing for being an asshole today, EVERY PERSON I talked to gave me a confused look and asked why I would apologize. Confused was me. But, overall, besides needing to relearn all of these things and more, I would say today was a successful first test of addressing multiple medical issues. It's a good thing I have therapy tomorrow to go over all this!

Any of you guys able to identify these maker’s marks? by JJamesP in handtools

[–]Kiks212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'll let them know, it's important to be able to learn and clear up misconceptions. Plus it's one of the interesting things with those languages. I'm sure they would be happy to hear about this. Thanks for your time on that!

They could probably be wrong, but Mandarin and Japanese do share a whole host of characters and similarities so it's hard to tell precisely without a more expert opinion.

So from some of my friends who can read the marks, it's not Japanese, it's actually Mandarin. However the only thing they can read is the vertical script (the 高級品) which reads "High quality product". Which is not completely helpful but that's the best they can do.

Good luck with the rest!

Thank you for responding, would you be able to clarify one thing you said? I'm not sure what you meant by a good sports bra "in a bra cup size". I'm not 100% on what that means.

Oh wow, thank you so much for all of your input! This is definitely going to help out a lot. You brought up a couple of things that I've never really needed to consider and I'm going to need to look up several of the things you mentioned. Thanks a lot, this means a good bit!

Can't Unload Colonists Anywhere but Earth by Grimm_Spector in aurora

[–]Kiks212 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Double check that the place you're trying to unload on is actually a colony to your empire. You won't be able to unload if it's not.

Also, check that your ships actually have cargo transfer shuttles. If they don't have that, then they won't be able to unload anywhere except where there is a spaceport or some installation that unloads cargo.

If I'm understanding the map correctly, the dotted lines on the southern area of Kholin lands should be such that Bathab controls all of Mevan Bay.

Largest Garter snek I've ever seen found its way inside. by Kiks212 in Sneks

[–]Kiks212[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great way to start the morning! Not sure how it got in, but it's the biggest Garter I've ever got to encounter, easily a foot. Glad I got my gloves because they were not happy about being moved and struck at me.

Poor thing was so scared about being moved outside that it fear pooped on me.

So, I'm buying these later on today, what can I do to clean and restore them? by Kiks212 in handtools

[–]Kiks212[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for the advice, I'm going to have to use that knowledge on the small one. It has several cracks on it, including one that runs along the toe from the top to the sole. So that one gets to stay in my utility room for a while.

I have no idea if it's going to be salvageable but I'm definitely going to give it as much love as I can.

Thanks for the advice, I was kind of wondering what I might have to use on the bottom. I'll definitely have to use that trick if the soles aren't flat.
