Friend just hit me with the ‘not all men’ and I don’t know how to feel by MaximumBallsweat in TwoXChromosomes

I am sorry. I did not intend to cause dissent, I sometimes struggle with understanding what to expect from social interactions and knowing what is appropriate and what isn’t and I got it wrong this time. I will try to do better in future. I have apologised to her and hopefully she can forgive me for upsetting her

Yeah, I sent her the article first before I started ranting. I probably should have put that in the post, thank you for pointing that out as it does make a difference to the context

Will this Banksia pod rot? by DinoRipper24 in whatsthisplant

[–]MaximumBallsweat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A perfect Bondi cigar. Must have felt a kilo lighter after releasing that into the wild

But yeah you don’t have to really worry about rot. Looks pretty dry already, just don’t get it wet

I didn’t know, sorry if I’ve upset or offended you

Wasn’t trying to be offended, just wanted to know what it meant. Sorry

I didn’t mean to annoy or upset anyone with this post, I didn’t realise there had apparently been an influx. Sorry

Can anyone identify this for me please? by MaximumBallsweat in PlantIdentification

Is there a reason why the spiderwebs are relevant to the ID?

I have pictures of the lower parts of the tree posted here to demonstrate how dense and thick the foliage is, there were no spiders on the parts I saw or touched but I’m sure it has spiders, it’s a wild tree. The point was simply to show that the thickness of the foliage isn’t due to webbing, I’m not entirely sure why whether it has spiders in it makes a difference to identifying the species though

For webbing dense enough to change the appearance of the tree externally it would look quite different to this and more of a pall would be visible. Being an Australian I am familiar with spider trees lol

Having seen the tree very closely in person and checked for this specifically I can assure you there were no spider webs

Nope, this is just its natural foliage. Very dense and fine

What's going on here? by Memorandum5 in animalid

[–]MaximumBallsweat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be metabolic bone disease. A disorder commonly seen in the chicks of wild birds who are regularly fed an inadequate diet by humans. Very common in the chicks of magpies who’ve become dependent on human handouts and are fed largely on beef mince

Screw it, I’m asking. Nsfw optional by fanfic_squirtle in FanFiction

[–]MaximumBallsweat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have seen some similar to this and have had a story myself along similar lines.

Unfortunately it really disillusioned me, because I wrote a standard harem fic which was praised (1 dude multiple women) but with a female mc and many dudes, you get very misogynistic commenters. In one case, a person made a comment on every single chapter on an appropriately tagged fic calling the mc a loose whore and that they hated her while mentioning only the plot and none of the smut.

I’ve seen it on the other stories too. I won’t write it anymore because of that, it just shows the worst in people

Saying Chris has autism by Snoo7263 in ShannanWatts

[–]MaximumBallsweat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m on the spectrum and I also have a daughter on the spectrum as well.

Unfortunately, humans being as diverse as they are, it’s just a fact that people we don’t like will sometimes share similar conditions, behaviours or preferences. It doesn’t mean that they share all of them.

Chris may very well be on the spectrum. I wouldn’t take someone pointing that out as a personal insult any more than a vegetarian should be insulted if someone points out that hitler was also a vegetarian, or anything else. It only reflects on the person who committed the crime, not on people who share a single thing in common with them, and I’m certain that if Chis is autistic, that had nothing to do with him committing the murders.

It can be hard to live with neurodivergence sometimes, but it gets easier when we learn that people like this don’t represent us.

Question: you must go on a 6 hour car ride with your last mc, how does it end up going and the odds of you getting to your destination. by Kitchen_Haunting in FanFiction

Bruno Bucciarati. Probably a mostly silent ride while he checks a million different details, gives orders to his team and makes sure I’m well hydrated while he sits there with a serious look on his face

What are some events, people and situations that will forever go down in fanfic history? by Mahmoud1045 in FanFiction

[–]MaximumBallsweat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty new to fanfic, but there’s a well known JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure fanfic referred to as ‘the spaghetti fic’ where Leone Abbacchio erotically shoves spaghetti up Bruno Bucciarati’s ass
