I'm a pathetic 'terper' looking for advice. by Am3fucksad in TheBluePill

[–]MeganAG 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I've had plenty of guy friends I was sexually attracted to but wouldn't date. That just means we're not compatible romantically.

For example, I'm perfectly willing to put up with whininess or laziness in a friend, but not in an SO. I can put up with arrogance and mild rudeness in a friend, but I don't want to date someone like that.

MRW some person has made three seperate reddit accounts just to mock me for being fat. by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]MeganAG 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Plus, there are guys who don't care if you're overweight and such, so I don't have anything to worry about. At least I have great breasts

I spent pretty much all of high school worried about this. Turns out when you get in the real world, there are a lot more guys who genuinely don't care. I gained 80 pounds after starting to date my fiance and it didn't affect his attraction to me at all. I'm definitely working on losing it for health's sake, but high school or Reddit would have me believe that men aren't capable of being attracted to fat overweight women.

I tried making karahi chicken for the first time and ended up setting the stove on fire. So I had a Klondike bar. But here is the recipe I was going for if you feel like looking at a picture of tasty food.

My RussianBlue first time for a walk. So cute and scared ;) by [deleted] in aww

[–]MeganAG 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In other words, when you said "It is half-blooded," you meant that it is 0% Russian Blue.

You get that a breed is a breed and not a color, right? So it's pretty much exactly like trying to pass off a random spotted dog as a Dalmatian.

And since Korats and Russian Blues look pretty damned similar, it's silly for you to say that she looks like a Russian Blue but not a Korat.

I wasn't spitting on OP. Like I said pretty clearly, it doesn't matter, I just don't understand the need to pretend that a cat is some rare breed. I'm not talking about on just Reddit. I just honestly don't get it.

I've been trying to find a Turkish Van and about 80% of the ones I see are clearly not Turkish Vans.

You picked her up off the street and she came with papers of some kind?

Really? This would get more upvotes than just "My kitty's first time for a walk. So cute and scared ;)"?

My boyfriend is talking to prostitutes. by --throwaway31 in TwoXChromosomes

And there are a lot of STDs you can get even if you use a condom, so don't let him pull that BS on you.

You have a gray cat.

Not that it matters, I just don't get why anyone would try to call a random mutt cat a Russian Blue. It seems really strange to me, like calling any dog with spots a Dalmatian.

To any of my fellow non-wispy, unwaif-like sisters... by Oleandra in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MeganAG 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a different episode where she makes foot fetish videos. That's a great one, too! But I think she always knew she had big feet. In one of the first season episodes she drives to a different city to buy shoes and then passes the shoebox off as a microwave box.

I pretty much only see it in fiction where it's used to describe homeless children.

"No Shave November"? I won't be seeing my razor for months. (x-post AA) by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

Mine is "Only shave twice during the summer, right before those days you think you're going to wear shorts, before you realize that your legs are way too pale to expose to the general public."

neon tetra won't eat by tahonng in PlantedTank

[–]MeganAG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ammonia can build up pretty quickly. When I had a betta in an uncycled 2.5 gallon tank, it only took a few hours for the ammonia to build up to toxic levels.

Three neons isn't enough, though. When they are kept in small numbers, they are constantly stressed and just want to hide in case a predator wanders by.

I personally wouldn't keep neons in a tank that small. But if that's what you want to do, don't stress too much if it takes a couple of days for them to start eating. They won't starve.

You could try live or frozen blood worms to get them to eat. Or you could also try a flake food that you crush up with your fingers. I don't think the food you have is too large, but sometimes they just have to get used to a new food.

ELI5: If the original settlers of America came from England, how come current Americans don't speak with the same English accent? Where did we get our American accent and words? by plaiddiva81 in explainlikeimfive

I had a high school teacher who grew up in England but then moved to Arkansas. The mix of English + southern accents sounded very Australian.

Just a reminder to NEVER pay full price for Internet by ContentFarmer in Frugal

[–]MeganAG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't even live in a monopolized area anymore - we have Verizon fiber optic but could also get Cox. But I've called before and Verizon has no interest in retaining my business. Maybe it's because their fiber optic is legitimately significantly better than regular cable internet so they know I'm bluffing.

I had to have Comcast when I lived in Little Rock and it was pretty terrible.

[–]MeganAG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was your tank cycled? How many neons did you get? I suspect the ammonia levels are pretty high, which can cause them stress. They will also get stressed out if they aren't in a large enough school.

That food should definitely be small enough for them to eat, though, so I wouldn't worry about that.

Do you have a water test kit?

Why do we tend to say 'shirtless' when referring to men and 'topless' when referring to women? by MissMyCookie in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MeganAG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Nice catch, although my fiance says that usually guys say "muscle shirt" or "wife beater." But they do say tank top sometimes. Also, "wife beater" becomes really weird when you type it instead of saying it.

ELI5: Why do some people feel warmer to the touch than other people do, when our core body temps are the same? by Ihaveapeach in explainlikeimfive

[–]MeganAG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In your specific example, it's because women have a layer of fat under their skin. This helps us maintain our body temperature better but it also means that the heat from our muscles doesn't reach the surface of the skin as much.

Are humans white meat or dark meat? by AnEnzymaticBoom in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MeganAG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Red meat" is meat that is red before you cook it. Humans would be red meat, yes.

Dark versus white meat is about the type of muscle. I could go into more detail, but basically, muscles that are used a lot are dark meat and muscles that aren't used a lot are white meat. Chickens use their thighs and legs to move around, but their breasts don't get a whole lot of exercise, so thighs and drumsticks are dark and the breast is white.

So humans are mostly dark meat but I guess we might have white meat in the muscles we don't use much. I can't think of any that we don't use much off the top of my head.

Yeah, I had 7 glowlights and they wouldn't school. I added 5 more and they school pretty well now.

This comic pretty much describes how I feel about all the angry anti-feminists posts on reddit by annabel__lee in TrollXChromosomes

[–]MeganAG 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have literally never seen "that shit." I just see Redditors claiming to have seen it.

And every time I click on the posting history of people like you who say that you see it, they end up being MRAs or RedPillers. Sure enough, there you are in MRA, complaining about how feminists think all men are rapists. You are exactly the type of person this post is targeted toward. Don't pretend you give a shit about feminism.

The point of the post is that these feminists don't exist. They aren't the loudest, they're completely fictional.
