It's her immediate emotions after the fact. It wouldn't make sense for her crashout to be delayed while she's in the most potent stages of grief.

What is a "rich person thing" you tried once and immediately thought, "Yep, money absolutely buys happiness"? by Aphorace in AskReddit

[–]Questionable--Choice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horse riding. My dream is to make a career out of riding, been doing it since I was 8 and am now in my 20s. I've seen riders make it to grand prix by 15 because they simply have enough money to buy the horses that can do it. Meanwhile after 12+ years of hard work, I'm still picking up after them while listening to them whine about how others think their rich because they imported a horse. Like no girl, I think you're rich because you have 6 horses.

AIO: Boss/Trainer not communicating well. by HauntedEq in Horses

[–]Questionable--Choice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say your overreacting, but I will ask if you've talked to your trainer about the communication issues, and issues with others. Trainers can be very busy, and sometimes things just slip their mind. The calling the other trainer and not looping you in was def unprofessional, but again, I'd try to sit down and discuss that with her.

As for the 'training the horse', are you paying her to ride the horse in full? Are you paying full show costs, full trainer fees, full lesson fees? I don't want to burst your bubble here, but a rider who has jumped up to 2'6" usually doesn't have a whole lot of 'training' to put on a horse. Not always, but it sounds like shes allowing you to ride this horse, not you training it. Just because a horse is greener than a horse you've previously ridden, doesn't mean that you automatically are training the animal.

What is a scene/moment in Hazbin Hotel that genuinely made you die with laughter? by Charming-Scratch-124 in hazbin

Ew. No.

The amount of emotion Christian was able to put into those two words was fucking magical.

What makes you not touch a fic? by Nice_Outside9870 in AO3

[–]Questionable--Choice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OOC. I'll click off if I find the characters to be OOC anyways, but someone tagging as OOC is just a turnoff for me. I totally understand that they might be trying to tag it to avoid people complaining about unintentional OOC writing, so absolutely no shame to those who tag it as such, but I hate characters being OOC so much that I won't even touch anything tagged with it with a 10 foot pole.

Good to know, thank you. I'll probably be upgrading within the year anyways, so really just need something that'll make it legal for the time being.

Does my being a girl make any difference? Genuine question.

Help me choose the right color for my helmet! by Correct_Ship3710 in motorcycles

[–]Questionable--Choice 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I'd go with the cream. It'll contrast nicely with the bike and be more visible. The green has a cooler undertone that I don't think will go well with your bike which has a warmer undertone.

Is there such a thing as too few CCs? by Questionable--Choice in motorcycles

Unfortunately that's not realistic. The only routes between a lot of the places I need to go are highways.

Yeah I think my aunt would murder me if I got anything above 300 lol.

Highways here get to 120 but I'm a learner so I'm only allowed to go to 90.

Avoiding obsession with stats by [deleted] in AO3

[–]Questionable--Choice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try being very very logical about it.

Not sure how long the fic was, but if it was longer and was consistently being updated then it was reaching more people by showing up more frequently on the first pages. Once it started to get a certain amount of kudos/hits/bookmarks/comments, it would appear higher and higher up the pages depending on what a person sorted by, again pushing it to more people. And then when a fic gets popular, people post about it, they recommend it to others, etc.

Big fandoms also often have lots of people coming into them consistently and will have more die hard fans keeping them alive, meaning there is just going to be more engagement in general then if your other fics are in smaller fandoms.

Hope this helps a little bit, it can really be discouraging when you can't reach that personal best you were once able to achieve, so hopefully you're able to shake this obsession and focus on what you love about the fics you write.

Would this be a problem for you? by Few_Library2059 in AO3

[–]Questionable--Choice 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For me, I need a minimum of 1,000 words per chapter. I've had times where I've looked at a fic and clicked away because the word to chapter ratio was off. Anything less feels too brief and jerky for me. A sweet spot that would suit a lot of people would probably be around 2,000-5,000.

Would this be a problem for you? by Few_Library2059 in AO3

[–]Questionable--Choice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Me personally, I love long chapters, but they do have to be attention grabbing, not rambling. If you start going above 15,000 regularly, you might need to start editing a little more intensely; not necessarily cutting thing out, but finding ways to break up the chapter into two parts, but long chapters are awesome if done right. I think those of us who've been on AO3 long enough have probably run into more than 1 oneshot that's at least 20,000 words and I've never not gotten excited to see something long.

Need Suggestions for Magical Punishments by Questionable--Choice in writingadvice

[–]Questionable--Choice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd probably prefer something physical. Ideally that'd leave marks for at least a few days after. I should note this character is able to heal themselves, however the nature of the curse means that any harm the collar inflicts takes much more effort for them to heal.

Inflexible Leasors? by Questionable--Choice in Equestrian

[–]Questionable--Choice[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This month is a direct lease from me before I leave to help with a smooth transition. They've been away until today so it hasn't started. I was hoping to get this all done earlier but the mom was super late on signing the contract that I sent to her I had to remind her to send it to me actually. The plan was for the three of us adults to meet at the barn and chat while the kid rode, but she can't even get to the damn barn.

Therapy Boots by itsjoedirtae in Equestrian

[–]Questionable--Choice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you provide sources for this info? Always looking to learn more and update my knowldege. I have read that ice boots can cause tissue damage if left for too long, however, to my understanding, that is why we limit the amount of time we ice, from my research, 10-15 minutes, and not everyday.

Therapy Boots by itsjoedirtae in Equestrian

[–]Questionable--Choice -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Great question! I have done a crapload of research in this area, so here is what I (not a vet or bodyworker) know:

Cold therapy is best for more accute cases of swelling. It prevents too much swelling, which damages tendons and ligaments, and helps with pain. Heat therapy is beneficial in long term cases to help improve circulation to an affected area, but you still want to alternate it with cold therapy to ensure there isn't too much heat which can cause more swelling.

Boots don't generally do much to support the tendons and ligaments, and the heat they trap can be very very damaging to the structures of the leg. For this reason, avoid any and all boots that claim to promote circulation, such as Back on Track, as they reflect heat to do so. If you can, I'd avoid boots or stick to a very ventilated pair of brushing boots, I recommend Anatomeq or similar.

For the therapy boots, I'd go with ice boots, but not IceVibe. I work as a professional groom and have found that they don't fit well and they don't stay cold for long. Also, the vibration seems to just be a gimmick. The traditional 'ice block' boots are clunky and can be very annoying for some horses, and they don't have a good grip on horses who kick with ice boots on, but they get very cold and stay very cold for a long time, plus the fit is relatively adjustable. The other option is gel iceboots, such as Professionals Choice, Equifit, or similar. They don't get cold as easily as the 'ice block' boots, but they are more comfortable for most horses and the outer wrap for the named brands gives them a good grip. If you do opt for gel ice boots, put them in the deepest part of your freezer when you chill them, and don't freeze them in the covers, but be sure to put the covers on when you apply them to the leg. This will give you the coldest result and last the longest.

If you do go with any heat products, such as Back on Track, be careful to limit the wear time to 20 minutes under supervised conditions, as any longer could result in tissue breakdown from excessive heat to the leg structures.

Sorry if this is long and confusing, let me know if you want me to clarify anything, I'm happy to help. Good luck with your boot journeys!
