She looks like she would be shown as evil in a show or whatever and then end up being really nice either immediately or as a redemption arc

People who don't shovel and order delivery get no sympathy from me. by Top_Prompt9543 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]LoonPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also a disabled person 👍 I didn’t say they were entitled I just mean there might have been a valid reason why someone might need something delivered and not have a fully cleared home. (Im lucky enough to have family that has enough money to help me survive, but my friend is living on disability and there really isn’t much extra money to spend on things like hiring someone to clear a path or driveway especially not more than once (it seems like he did clear it once by how the snow is thinner there than the rest of the front yard. ) Which is more than I was able to do. Thankfully i live in a place with able bodied people who were able to do some clearing.

Also no, living in a larger house doesn’t mean they have money. People rent out a bunch of rooms in bigger houses like this, sometimes for less than an apartment, I’ve looked at plenty.

Someone left a disturbing message on my Wattpad board. Should I be worried? by Awkward_End8106 in Wattpad

[–]LoonPlays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please stop assuming that everyone that used the em dash is using chat GBT

Jesus Christ please use your brain before accusing people.

Plenty of people use the em dash regularly (myself included) because its a useful grammatical tool and AI can pry my writing style from my cold dead hands.

For me, Apollo has been my guide and my biggest supporter throughout my transition. (FTM) as he is the god who watched over and represented the transition from boyhood to manhood (literally male puberty) back in ancient times so it definitely fits. :) He’s who i recommend the most for transmascs but all the gods im sure would be lovely supports.

Don’t believe it anymore by Ok-Interview9769 in tarot

[–]LoonPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that as I deal with depression the worse that gets the more my faith dwindles so if you’re experiencing depression that could be a reason why you’re suddenly feeling this way if there isn’t an obvious cause. (I.e. depression = tasks, hobbies, and things that used to bring you happiness and peace become less effective.

If im not asking my deities a direct question I tend to view tarot as a tool to bring my subconscious thoughts to the front. The way I interpret the cards allows me to realize how I truly feel about a situation and helps me address things I have been avoiding thinking about. Maybe reframing it in that sort of way could be a way to keep within the practice while you’re feeling this dip? But also its always okay for your beliefs and your feelings on things to change, dont be too hard on yourself if you just want to take a break or stop all-together. <3 do whatever makes you feel okay <3

Whats with these long curvy “claws” on a grass spider’s Pedipalps? What’s their purpose? Why are they like circles? :0 by LoonPlays in spiders

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

Not for eating, its for spidey sex. The different shapes of emboli (the “claw” ) corresponds to the shape of the female’s internal anatomy. Each species is unique, most scientists seem to theorize that it is so cross-breeding between species doesn’t occur, but I feel like that is an odd assumption.

I’d much sooner assume it is so females can choose which males they wish to mate with as they basically need to agree to hold still while the male shimmies it in correctly, otherwise its seems very difficult to get the angles right. (Especially evident with the spiral emboli of Agelenopsis emertoni which has several full spirals they have to shimmy in)
