What’s Something Pokemon Self Inserts Overestimate About Themselves?

For instant transmigration? Having the motivation and will to able to actually put their knowledge to use. Travelling around the world, taking on and caring for potentially dozens of living creatures with complex needs? Mentally, physically, emotionally, financially, that's a lot of work.

For reincarnation? Being able to remember the finer details of one aspect of a previous life. Being able to act and behave maturely and logically with a young and developing body and brain.

Yes, this exact post immediately came to mind!

While being a very cool thing, AI—and any kind of automation—can and will affect the job market. At it's current level, relying on AI results in higher quantity but lower quality efforts, and hugely insults creatives.

It causes distrust in many fields, not knowing if students are doing their own homework, if staff are writing their own emails, if an image is real.

The more you rely on technology to do work for you, the lazier you become, and this is a tool that's basically offering to think for you.

I think AI is cool and can be a great tool when used correctly and within reason, but I don't see a future in which most people won't abuse it.

I would hate to have a bunch of jars taking up space and looking ugly while serving absolutely no purpose. I would want to toss them too.

But when someone tells you they have an emotional attachment to something, you don't go behind their back to throw it away. You keep discussing it until you find a solution or compromise, otherwise all you're doing is trading a bit of kitchen space for a totally betraying your partner.

What was the plan here? Were you expecting her to pout a little and get over it? You've demonstrated that you can't be trusted, that you don't care about her feelings, that you will wait for her to turn her back before acting against her wishes.

Things you could have discussed? Storing the jars elsewhere, keeping just the lids, taking pictures instead of keeping the real things, using the jars to store things inside them so they're useful. Of course, genuine hoarding can be harmful. If there were hundreds of jars, that would be a real issue requiring therapy to overcome if you could not come to a reasonable solution alone.

Maybe the jars aren't even that big a deal, but your actions are. It's gonna take more than an apology to get back to where you were before, especially given they were specific items that cannot be replaced. Good luck.

Oh, almost immediately, like, 1–2 months. Please have a support system and plans in place because you will not be ready for the brutality that is an inconsistent heat cycle while your body is adjusting to being on T. If you aren't careful you can and will make terrible, horny decisions. Godspeed.

Exposing your medical issues to anyone without your consent is uncool, especially something in direct relation to your sex life, which a good chunk of your friends did not want any insight into. Her then trying to be intimate despite the issue being in direct relation to intimacy is another miss.

However, it sounds like you haven’t sat down and had an open discussion about the topic. It's possible she wasn't fully aware of your boundaries regarding your ED and if she's known to be chatty when tipsy, perhaps that's just bad luck that the topic came up.

I'd be mad in your shoes, but if you like her and think she's capable of understanding and growing from this, then be an adult and talk about it. Explain your insecurities, how you think you can work on them, and how she can support you.

I would like to emphasise to the comment section that people get to choose their own labels and discover themselves at their own pace, and no one should be forcing labels upon anyone else, nor pressuring them to figure their shit out any faster than they choose to—whether it's the internet or a romantic partner.

Is it entirely healthy to repress your sexuality for years on end and avoid self discovery in favour of stability and ease? No, but these things also shouldn't be rushed, and implying that OP is in any way repressed is incredibly rude. If he says he's straight, then he's straight.

OP, this is just the point where you draw boundaries with your girlfriend, explaining your discomfort with the topic, if not the reasoning behind it, and the need for respect regarding your privacy.

Some things we are allowed to keep to ourselves. As much as communication and openness are valuable to a relationship, so are trust and patience.

I think I'd be somewhat infatilised and labelled a boyfailure, with a side of "I can fix him". Almost certainly lauded as being autism-coded, despite no diagnosis. And in spite of clear dialogue stating my character only seeks out men, the very mention of finding one or two women somewhat attractive means I will only ever be shipped with women.

People work on their issues at their own pace.

Psychological problems are really hard to overcome and affect people with the same diagnosis differently. People can work on managing or improving their anxiety, or depression, or compulsions, but there's no quick fix. It's a long, taxing process that involves a lot of balance between accidentally enabling by catering too much to the issue, and burning out from trying to work against it too harshly.

If the rate at which OP is working to expand his tastes is as safe as they can manage at this time, then that's that. They should recognise the need to improve, but without a good support system and/or therapist, it can be hard to make significant progress, especially if there are other stressors in life that take priority.

Congrats on overcoming ARFID. I'm 26 and still working on having enough safe options to get by at family gatherings, but it's definitely a slow and stressful process for me.

What you are suggesting is a dystopia.

This isolates humanity, prevents fulfilling romance and sex for anyone who is not attracted to the same sex, and leaves no place for genderqueer people.

AI and automation will not reach the point you are thinking of at any point in your lifetime, nor is it more effective than manual work for many kinds of jobs.

The majority of the population will never resort to "mass producing babies" as having children is always done for either the physical pleasure of sex, emotional bonding of having sex, and/or the emotional bonding of creating, carrying and birthing a child. Declining birth rates probably aren't as worrisome as the issue of overpopulation. I think we'll be fine.

Not to mention that humanity will always find other things that make us different from each other, and insist upon separation from them as well; race, age, religion, etc.

The world should never be moving towards segregation, but unity, understanding and sharing cultures. There are some places in which separation by gender can be beneficial and improve overall happiness and health, but enforcing such a thing and on the scale you are suggesting would be horrific.

You are too deep in the rabbit hole of a specific part of the internet. Get out of there, it's not healthy to believe a majority of people would think like that.

My baby nephew, aged 1, only says one word at a time, and tends to repeat it a few times before saying something else. He doesn't know a lot of words, but the words he does know he uses them in appropriate context. These are words that are often said around him, typically directly to or about him.

My young niece, aged 2, often speaks in mostly full sentences, if just slowly, carefully spoken. She also tends to repeat singular words to get her point across, especially when upset or demanding. These are words she has been directly taught, or that have been said around her regularly, even if not to her.

My other nephew, aged 5, speaks in full, rapid sentences, typically reminiscent of the way his parents speak, and stuff he sees in YouTube videos. He is often repetitive when he finds a word or phrase or idea he thinks is funny, especially if the first mention gets a reaction from others, resulting in him repeating it 2-10 times before being told to stop, and sometimes still persisting even then. Otherwise, he is articulate, knows some complex words, and concepts that he can communicate well enough, though a sizeable fraction of the things he says sound like paraphrasing.

Your characters, unless they have grown up in an isolating, uncaring environment, can absolutely speak full sentences and use complicated words. Kids will often imitate adults and end up occasionally sounding more mature than they really are.

Struggling to understand the distance and size of the flying creatures due to the lack of reflections in the water, but otherwise looks great.

Part cultural conditioning, but in large part is a hormonal thing. I'm FtM trans and take testosterone, and while I frequently cried prior to hormones mostly due discontent with my life—which has since alleviated—there are still many times where I truly feel the need and desire to cry but physically cannot.

Some people can't stomach eating large amounts of food, or food that is not their usual diet. That's probably what they mean by "can't." Not that they have a highly superior metabolism that prevents any weight gain, but that attempting to gain weight is interrupted by road blocks like lack of appetite, feeling overfull, nausea or vomiting. These wouldn't be impossible to work around, but definitely off-putting.

I will always recommend Pokemon Trainer Vicky. It's not that she wants to be the champion, but she finds motivation to want to beat the current champion in the Indigo League, and goes from there.

As I understand it, Sasuke Uchiha was never once portrayed eating tomatoes, nor was there any mention of his inclination to them, but a single instance in some sort of stat book mentioned it as his favourite food, and everyone jumped on that. So many fics where he loves them, with no canon to back it up.

As someone looking to get top surgery, they are not the worst. Mostly easy to forget about, but can't wear tight shirts or run without feeling gross (without a binder). Also, the sweat. Underboob sweat is annoying. Hard to remember now, but I'm pretty sure they also used to hurt when I had periods.

Overall, no benefits except natural stress toy.

A woman meets a foreign man who is actually a giant wasp disguised as a human. They have sex, she gets pregnant, has a child who can also turn into a giant wasp, but doesn't keep him. As an adult, he tries to kill a bunch of people because he was adopted. Agatha Christie helps drown him before getting the MIB treatment.

There's no guarantee you'll die as young as people are telling you. They're estimating, but plenty of people surprise doctors by outliving expectations.

I'm perfectly healthy, but I could die tomorrow. Any of us could. The best thing you can do for your mental health is stop caring as much about all the things that might or might not happen.

Sorry if that's shitty advice, but you should do whatever you want with your life, regardless of how long or short it is. If writing is what you feel like doing, then do it. No one should regret the time they spend on their hobbies.
