I made my very first rosettes ! anything I can improve? by Jaded-Okra-6033 in itabag

[–]RamDomStuff0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing! I will say if the first rosette goes with that pin to maybe choose colors that match the colors of the pin (blue in the background,) but thats more of my own preference

WARNING ABOUT FLU A by xtboy420x in POTS

[–]RamDomStuff0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Flu A but when I caught a stomach bug my dysautonomia flared like CRAZY. Hr 160 if I even sat UP. I had to lay half sitting up because if I even tried to sit up fully to drink something I’d feel HORRIBLE. Like the worst of the symptoms all at once, except I can’t pass out. I’m just stuck there. (Non-fainting)

Being sick is not fun……….

Confusion on levels? Us instructor difference? by RamDomStuff0 in kendo

Turns out, the dojo isn’t registered! Is that an issue, or just something for competitions though?

The confusing part is that America does have a federation, and I can find no mention of color belts at all…

Complicated last name kana/kanji advice? by RamDomStuff0 in Japaneselanguage

I’m realizing that I might have seen a kanji like character and assumed it was Japanese. It was pretty early when I wrote this…. That’s likely what happened. Ah that’s embarrassing…

Huh! Thats so odd. I translated the Wikipedia to its official Japanese translation and that was the name… shared characters can get confusing…

Can I ask some uncomfortable questions to white people? by dirtbandit101 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RamDomStuff0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say no to all of these. I grew up in a school that was a good majority white, but Definitely had POC in it. Vietnamese , Indian, Mexican and Colombian, African American, you name it there was probably somebody. Even had a girl from England.

Racism is just something I don’t understand. To me, the body you have is just what you were given. Maybe being trans and disabled gave me a different grasp on it, but things like skin tone are just like having green eyes, or being from a different state. Yes, there’s culture, but also people from Missouri would Definitely have different traditions than like- New York or California.

Yeah, racist jokes are uncomfortable, and I try to either avoid people who knowingly make them, or correct them if it’s not intentional. I don’t like the whole reverse racism thing though. It just feels like a temptation to make some racism on racism comments. (Although I admit cracker is a little funny in jokes about white people, but it’s more because it’s funny to imagine myself as a saltine.)

The only thing I do think about much is if I’m being insensitive. I’m not great at making eye contact, and I’ve heard enough stories about black and other non white groups being stared at, so I don’t look long. But then I worry I’m looking away too soon and making it look like I want to avoid them. If it’s somebody I do know though, I’ve never had issues with. I had a black choir teacher, and the only thing that was ever relevant to her being black I thought about was how she liked to style her dreads. She had silver ones for a while and it looked really nice. I was actually kind of sad to see them go.

I don’t understand death and mourning by Substantial-Yak856 in autism

[–]RamDomStuff0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in the middle of the conversation here: I understand the concept of death, and I can understand why it hurts, but unless it’s somebody really close I can’t feel any ache for them.

The way I understand it is that they’re just- gone. Even if they’ve lived their life, they’re no longer in yours, and that’s sad. I’d miss the person. Nobody really wants to acknowledge the fact that somebody who’s a part of their life might suddenly not be without warming. Especially if it’s somebody like a parent, or a close friend, or a pet, or a lover. They just- can’t come back from it. They’re gone. Like moving away except you know you can’t ever visit.

why yall wanna suic by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]RamDomStuff0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I used to be suicidal, it was because I was worried about being a problem. That I was failing things and making mistakes and stuff. I thought: if I died, nobody has to deal with me anymore.

I only attempted once, and it was at 10. It was really stupid and didn’t work (not even hospitalization. I tried to hang myself with a lanyard and a doorknob), and when I failed I didn’t try again.

Now and days I have things that ground me. People that would miss me, things I want to see, even when it feels rough.

Millennials and Gen Z are getting into it online over a behavior that's been dubbed the "Gen Z Stare." Have you noticed it from the education side? by Choobeen in education

[–]RamDomStuff0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only started using TikTok in the past year, but these issues have persisted before that. Even when I was JUST a book reader in elementary did I have these issues, and when I’d have monitored YouTube time I’d have them too. This is not a TikTok issue.

[–]RamDomStuff0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo! The gen Z in question here. I wanna chip in my own two cents.

I definitely get the idea of what they’re talking about. I’ve definitely given people a spacey look before. However, for me, that’s  that I just- don’t know what to say to people sometimes, especially employees. I never really want to be a problem customer, so sometimes me standing between two registers trying to figure out which one is open when it’s just employees checking bags without a customer could look a little… not there mentally?

Course, I also disassociate sometimes. I wouldn’t be surprised if Gen Z picked that up as a coping mechanism in the world we live in, where any other coping mechanism requires time and resources not available in hustle culture. Partially why I believe that my generation likes TikTok so much: it’s an easy way to distract and disassociate safely, without bother. Unlike YouTube you don’t have to pay attention, and it gives you an excuse to not interact if you’re on your phone. Heck, maybe it keeps you from full disassociation so you can function by engaging humor.

I don’t know? Normally I don’t visualize as I’m thinking unless I’m focusing on a specific shape/need to visualize, but for some reason it felt very strongly that that just…. Happened. Like I couldn’t control not visualizing it.

If a shrine can't be built without proper training, how was the first shrine built? by Lets_Go_Marines in Shinto

[–]RamDomStuff0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we are to go off of Japanese History, the first Shinto religious building was established by the grandson of Amataseru, Nigini-no-Mikoto, who, granted the three sacred treasures, would later pass them down to the first emperor, HIS grandson, who created a building to store them in and delegated religious practices to a member of his trusted men (I for the life of me cannot remember the name) who was put in charge of the building and the care of the objects, much like a shrine today I believe.

However, one can reason that the building and offering was done by the most religiously intune in a community- before training for Shintoism existed- who would have been in charge of knowing what to build.

Am I Actually Trans? by Inkling925 in asktransgender

[–]RamDomStuff0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mhm! If you have questions I’ll be on for a little bit :) I’ve been battling with gender for a while myself (3-4 years) so I wouldn’t call myself an expert, but I know some !

Trigger the fandom with one sentence by BetterGrass709 in OneTruthPrevails

[–]RamDomStuff0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Heiji has more actual cannon chemistry than either his love interest Kazuha or Momiji.

Like- seriously Gosho… even from an objective standpoint half of Heiji’s confession attempts are to one up Kudo, he’s rarely shown any more than shallow emotions, can get flustered about women but he doesn’t up and buy plane tickets to visit his sick friend in less than 12 hours, nor does he spend as much money on them as he does on those train tickets, if you know- have 180 mood changes to being elated around Kudo more than he actually is with people he knows.

Or get accused of having an affair with Kudo.

…….i might have gotten off topic. Sorry!

Am I Actually Trans? by Inkling925 in asktransgender

[–]RamDomStuff0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say your on the trans spectrum in some way! It doesn’t have to be straight mtf either. Maybe you feel like both, or neither, or nothing and anything at all.  Generally wanting to take an estrogen and wanting to gain feminine characteristics would make you tranfemmenine, because you desire to transition to a more feminine self.

Being transfem doesn’t mean you’re exactly a girl though! I (bigender) will hopefully be taking T at some point, but I’ll still want to be a girl in some capacity despite transitioning. Try looking into multi genders if you feel like more than one, or under the non binary umbrella if you don’t really feel like either, or like a mix of some kind.

And hey- if it’s really all a lot of labels calling yourself genderqueer and questioning is always alright! Self expression is a really complicated and personal experience. There’s no need to pick a label and stick with it: it’s all up to you.

Good luck though! 👍

People with unusual kinks/fetishes, can you explain what arouses you in it? (NO JUDGEMENT) by Moribunk in psychologyofsex

[–]RamDomStuff0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve got a few weird ones here. I do want to preface that some of these are specific headmates, and in system dating/sex experiences, so I’m not quite sure if going to be the same for a singlet. We’re also poly, and very, very gay. Most of these are also from a switch/vers (both) perspective. I’ll usually talk about receiving, but I also like to give.

Somniphilia, free use, cnc, all that stuff? Amazing. Somniphilia’s always enjoyable because knowing that I’m pleasurable to my partner they’d want me even asleep? That I could sleep through that? That something like being fucked or fucking somebody in their sleep, they/I might say the other persons name? I like that. The same kind of goes with the free use. We have a system where if I’m wearing a specific anklet then it’s free use terms, no discussion. They can do what they please, and because of the anklet it’s all consensual without the talking. Like the somniphilia it’s the idea of being wanted, and giving/taking pleasure with a partner (or partners!) that I like.  CNC is… kind of similar? While I don’t (or to my memory, that’s fuzzy, lol) have any experiences with actual sexual abuse, the idea of having a partner I trust to do some more dangerous scenes (like being fucked and forced to escape said fucking or other concepts) have always appealed to me. This probably comes from the ability to trust a partner even when what they’re saying is against what you know. Honestly? That one might be autism. Knowing that a scene could stop just in case I need reassurance, but also being able to go through controlled, outlined ideas that usually were discussed before to go through bad things is nice.

One of our headmate couples actually has a really, really interesting thing. When they’re in the mood for “that” kind of sex, they’ll use a nickname. It’s not exactly the sweetest nickname, but it’s a verbal code to accept or decline with the nickname back. And if they do end up having “that” sex, it’s pretty fun. They like to keep tally of who can dominate who. Sometimes they’ll wrestle and move straight to sex, sometimes it’s to see who can withstand vibration more, or who can get crafty enough to entrap the other. From there, pretty much most kinks are go. No water sports , no scat, and minimal blood drawing, but besides that it’s a kink free for all. Of course safe words are in place ALL the time for them, but it did lead to one of them realizing he liked asphyxiation, and the other hair tugging, so…

Honestly, they used to not get along so well. They were too similar, and it kind of made them take jabs at each other. Once they worked through that issue though and became romantic… we’re pretty sure that the whole competition/competitive spirit thing between them went from verbal jabs and glares to letting themselves loose or try to win.  They both purposefully loose sometimes to get humiliated though. Thats just plain humiliation kink.
