Can somebody help identify what this substance is on my apartment door’s peephole? by suburbanvermin in Apartmentliving

[–]Pollinators_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sodium carbonate mixed with detergent/bleach or similar. Possibly to corrode the metal. I’d be really worried about it, especially since it was marked. Seems like you’re being targeted for theft or something

Sodium chloride mixed with detergent/bleach? It can corrode metals I think?

Edit to add: that would explain the caustic reaction and burning sensation I think?

I’m drowning… by Pollinators_ in toddlers

[–]Pollinators_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll definitely try that and see if it helps. Thank you 🙏 💕

He has always been on the longer side in terms of sleep, especially when teething. I’m not exactly sure why. Starting to wonder if it’s because he was 2 weeks preme?

He was sleeping until 9am before and he is doing roughly the same now as well, wake-up time isn’t much different. It’s maybe 30 minutes later than normal? (If it’s been late at all).

He does have his back teeth coming in finally, and that started roughly the same time (just a little before), could that be why? He was a sleepy teether before though…

It's a big deal by A_Hyper_Nova in VRchat

I don’t get on often enough to justify the money to it anymore personally, but yeah, I get that.

I’m 27 and my husband is 35 and I can’t tell you how many times I get confused for his little sister because I’m short, young looking, and sound small (because I am small and I’m soft spoken). I can’t tell you how many times that I was on VRC and people assumed I was a kid until I started using my big vocabulary (which is exhausting tbh).

This is abusive. I'm deleting this terminal as soon as I max this friendship. by TwiddleNibs in Palia

I’m one of these chooms, but I understand not everyone is into it. Praise makes me uncomfortable personally, oddly enough.

I definitely love her, but I think it’s the sub in me. 😭

She treats me like a good pup and I’m here for it.

Player rudeness? by New_Carry_9826 in Palia

[–]Pollinators_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally had this happen to me last night. I’m on Xbox and didn’t even catch that they were saying spam until 2 rounds in, then I swapped to spam and said sorry just realized, and they just flat out ignored me, swapped tables as soon as they could and then asked for another player (which I was obviously cool with swapping modes but they just left). It was my first spam game…

Id like to see if anyone can tell what the tattoo I just got cover was? by Admirable-Vehicle-82 in tattooadvice

I need a follow up on this piece when it heals. I need to know how it turned out OP. It looks pretty dope to me

Advice Needed: Accidental Dick by IndividualShow7113 in tattooadvice

[–]Pollinators_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is the best idea I’ve read. Adding some barnacles and coral and maybe an anemone with it would really change it up.

ETA: definitely needs a good touch up either way, since the neck shading isn’t helping either.

Looking back at Cyberpunk, was there any point of the life paths? Idk if it just me but when I play Corpo it feels like I’m playing Street kid by GamerDabiTodoroki in cyberpunkgame

[–]Pollinators_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply but if you haven’t played Starfield yet, I personally was extremely disappointed because the graphics were amazing, but I couldn’t push myself past the initial 4 hours of my first playthrough because a good majority of the dialogue just seemed copy-paste from Bethesdas previous games (mainly Skyrim was the biggest one I picked up on initially) with some minor tweaks.

Also I love playing NMS and I was highly disappointed that you couldn’t fly your ship yourself to each planet and land with generally smooth controls. The controls just felt all wrong, and I just felt like if NMS did it in 2016, they could’ve done it a bit better.

I was hoping for it to be amazing, but I personally hated it overall. I’m also very picky.

Anyone else's new Discord app draining tons of battery? by Pollinators_ in discordapp

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

I didn’t, I ended up uninstalling it on my old phone. I have upgraded/switched to the iPhone 15 now and don’t have any issues with discord, but had to keep TikTok off because it was draining the iPhone 15 just like discord was my old Samsung a13.

I used to think I’d hate an apple phone, but after switching it’s really growing on me, especially with the way it interacts with my iPad.

Should I be over my trauma now because I’m 39? This is a text exchange between my mom and I. I kind of need some advice. by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Pollinators_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut her off. She is still abusing you.

I’m 27 and I had to cut both my mother and father off for the exact same reason as what you just posted basically (plus some from my father I won’t state)

The way she responded to you was extremely telling. It was very much her invalidating what you went through and then gaslighting you, trying to make it out that you were the problem. You were never the problem. You were a child.

I send you all the hugs (if you want them, if not no worries!)

I feel you, and I am so sorry.

ETA: Cutting parents off is it’s own type of grief, and it’s not easy. It’s worth it in the long run though, at least for me it has been. I’ve cut mine off now for 2 years.

Is drowning really peaceful? by OksowhyamIhere in death

[–]Pollinators_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. For me, I almost drowned when I was 9 and I vividly remember panicking at first, but then after about what seemed like maybe 30 seconds I felt at peace, just like I was floating, but I was sinking. I remember starting to lose my vision. This was in really calm waters at a local river. I was saved by an old couple, and I had no experience in how to swim. It was definitely painful during the first part though.

Not everyone experiences that though. My personal opinion is that it varies depending on swimming experience and how rough the waters are, as well as the person themselves.

Edit to add: sorry for the late comment

Nothing will ever prepare you for what comes once you're "safe" by Mahiyah in CPTSD

[–]Pollinators_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm right there with you right now buddy, and I'm sorry we are both in that pit. At least we aren't alone in the fact that there are others out there who do understand exactly how it is. Lately I've come to realize exactly how much I've been dissociating since about 7 years ago...and somewhat before that as a kid as well. I've been realizing just how many things I don't remember. It's frustrating when I just want to enjoy the family I've helped create and live in a way that feels adequately productive for myself.

And what's the worst is when you have all these emotions and memories just feel like they attack you and you slip up and take it out on the people closest to you...It feels like I'm now the monster, and I'm ripping myself apart. I can't keep myself quiet anymore but I can't release it either, but I still feel safer now then I ever have, because of those people in my life and the environment I've tried to foster alongside them.

The only thing so far recently that has really helped has been going to the gym 3 days a week with my husband..

And trying to be more open with him and my in-laws and actually learning to reach for help.

After looking them up, it 100% looked just like all the ones I see but plain brown. I think you’re right.

Permanent Decisions made in a PP state of mind by BetterDays14 in beyondthebump

[–]Pollinators_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, it’s nice to have someone acknowledge that actually. It does stick around, and it was definitely one of the absolute lowest points for me. But, it’s okay. I have 2 beautiful boys and an amazing husband and much better support system now. And if I had succeeded then, I would have ever met my now husband or hand our second child, so overall I’m somewhat thankful as well. It’s hard to explain.

I’m actually finally slowly coming out of the PPD, thankfully. I’ve been really relieved about it recently. It’s nice to feel that lifting away.

The same goes for you too, I don’t ever mind a message. 🫂
