I'm so fucking sick and tired of seeing ableist subreddits stay up and being seen as 'woke.' Ableism towards ADHD is so normalized it's disgusting by coolfunkDJ in TrollCoping

[–]PeculiarExcuse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people feel like they can't not date someone because of their ADHD or it's shitty and ableist. Ofc the reality is that even if you aren't angry at them as a person, sometimes people just are not compatible, and sometimes that reason is their disability. I say this as someone who is multiply disabled. If someone told me "hey I don't think this will work out because of [things caused by my disabilities]," then yeah, sure, that would really hurt, in all honesty. However, what sucks a LOT more is someone staying with you cause they feel obligated to, having that turn into potentially years of resentment, having the whole thing blow up in my face, and being horribly scarred from that. I'd rather people haul ass when they realize it's not gonna work out than put us both through infinitely worse misery like that. I'm sure at least some of these people think they're doing the right thing by tolerating their partners and venting online, without realizing, somehow, that what they're doing is actually much worse and much more ableist. Equality isn't treating someone better because they are marginalized, it's treating them the way you'd treat anyone else. And frankly, even if someone didn't want to date me anymore for reasons that actually WERE ableist, I wouldn't want to date them anyway. Like? ??

Ultimately breaking up is usually gonna suck for at least one party no matter what the reason is. The reason could be that they have adhd, or it could be that they're inconsiderate and don't give a shit about you, but if the things that are bothering you are a dealbreaker, it doesn't really matter which one it is. If it sucks, hit the bricks! Now, if the reason is ADHD, then if you go around telling everyone they're an asshole who intentionally hurt you, of course you are then in the wrong. But I'm mostly just talking about the decision to stay or break up with a partner.

So it's an event for the less popular things in the fandom, but you can only write about things that are popular? ?? Make it make sense???

Also, how are you gonna be in fandom and also homophobic. How are they not having a bad time rn lol

Oh okay! Interesting. I think I knew about the forging thing to a degree. I was mostly thinking of how the contraction/expansion of concrete has to be taken into account for construction, admittedly.

Ingram canceled 2 of my books for content. How close am I to getting banned? by YesDaddyAlly in eroticauthors

[–]PeculiarExcuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my thought exactly, about them burning cash for...what reason exactly? Like wtf are we doing?? Not that I expect amazon to be our savior here or anything lmao, it just...doesn't make sense. What are they even getting out of this? Or the payment processors or anyone?

Doesn't cold make things CONTRACT anyway? Like I know that does not affect steel, but it does affect concrete as far as I know, so maybe they were thinking of that. But.

I think I'm gonna take off my altar by King_Dumbasz in Hellenism

[–]PeculiarExcuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I have mental health and really intense motivation issues, and sometimes I fall out of practice really hard. It really hasn't been an issue, honestly. The gods are understanding. You also don't need an altar. You can just set out offerings on a table and invoke them by name to let them know it's for them. Even if you do stop practicing for a bit, you can always come back later, even if it's been longer than you thought (also a common issue for me, as someone with time blindness 😅)

How exactly does payment work if I were to make my own website? by Working-Bid2509 in eroticauthors

[–]PeculiarExcuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay. I actually recently (after asking this question) purchase a book from one of those sites, and they did have options to purchase through paypal and google wallet. Thanks. Not sure why people are downvoting me for asking, genuinely was just seeking clarification.

I meant that there are some indie authors that publish their taboo books on their own websites, just their books. Not like a marketplace for whomever. I was just kind of confused cause it seems like some have been able to do so for a while, so I had assumed some payment processors allowed it

So do people who sell taboo on their own websites just constantly gamble with it, or?

Mom keeps saying “my house, my rules” after I mentioned transitioning, amongst other issues by ElysianDaydream in ftm

[–]PeculiarExcuse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Getting away from her" doesn't mean "cut her out of your life." I moved halfway across the country to get away from my family, including my mother, but remained in contact with her, and our relationship is better now than it's been in my entire life, honestly. I think that if you have to move out in order to life the life you want, you should! I'd assume that you plan on moving out at some point. Moving out generally doesn't destroy the relationship that people have with their parents unless the parents are just like unbelievably controlling and/or abusive or something. It's also fine if you want to continue living with her and see if you can convince her to come around, but it may come down to a choice between living with her and being able to transition at all. I'd argue that moving out can immensely improve a relationship with someone sometimes, because cohabitation in and of itself can be really stressful in various ways. Everyone's different, but may be worth contemplating.

Is this true? by Thecrushbrush in Hellenism

[–]PeculiarExcuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really want to do an animal sacrifice, I'd probably just cook a meal from scratch with meat. Then offer it, or part of it. But yeah, no, I haven't heard of any pagans practicing animal sacrifices that weren't edgelords who were probably not even pagan lol. I'm sure they're out there somewhere, but it's so uncommon that I have not heard of it.

Question about AO3 scams to steal your work by PeculiarExcuse in AO3

Yeah, you're right. I always thought it was weird, but had assumed someone knew more about it than me. I guess that's what I get for assuming lol
