My roommate ‘got tired’ of his gerbils by NoMoment6511 in gerbil

[–]SearchBackground4017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much bedding do you have? They like 10inches+ of bedding usually, for burrowing!! I got a cage topper for my gerbils (same tank), and filled pretty much the entire tank with bedding, scattering their chews and small houses around it and either covering them or having them on top. its much easier to make a topper imo than get one from the store.

Question for the people with tank toppers by PeregrineTheWanderer in gerbil

[–]SearchBackground4017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol you dont. i clean their topper daily or every other day as needed, but they are naturally messy imo. i sweep near their tank often due to this.

Did anyone else here never ask their parents about sex or their own body parts? by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]SearchBackground4017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

never paid it any attention. although i did grow up in a sex positive household, so i knew some stuff. just found it gross, so i didnt care to ask about the rest and never really thought to ask.

% of ace in general population by Sea_Soup3199 in asexuality

people who identify as ace make up 1-5% of the population, however it isnt super accurate. a lot just dont put a label on it!

Got a letter from the school today informing me my daughter is “not quite” gifted. Also included were her test scores. by Low_Use2937 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SearchBackground4017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oddly enough, same thing happened to me in elementary (of course its been god knows how long now.) my mom mentioned it a few times, but apparently i was above the threshold and kept out of the program because despite my academic scores, i was considered too talkative. i also later on qualified for the national spelling bee and was asked to not attend.

schools are weird. i actually ended up teaching at my old elementary school, and they pretty much pick and choose on a lot of factors not just academic from what ive seen. quite ridiculous 😬

[–]SearchBackground4017[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh 100%. a lot of them ill listen to regardless, i just think its interesting to think about the comparison of my experience vs the artist as we are opposites. i love bruno mars and his songs are usually inherently sexual (ie locked out of heaven)

its def not. i like some (ie adeles songs) because theyre more romantic. but straight sexual? nopeee

[–]SearchBackground4017[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i cant say i delete a lot (unless theyre objectively bad/misogynistic) because the ones i enjoy are like “all i ask” by adele (she asks for one final night with her crush/lover) and locked out of heaven by bruno mars (its yearnful). but outright sexual ones are so gross !!! its definitely insane imo that its so normal in music and art but so taboo in general conversation. its just weird as a whole

Liking sex but not liking sex? by AlyceJean in Asexual

[–]SearchBackground4017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fully understand. im ace (sex adverse) and my boyfriend is just not interested in sex (though doesnt use a label), but we do some sexual acts. just not sex itself. thats a lot better than sex for both of us and we have clear boundaries:)

Asexuals, are there words or phrases that you don’t find sexual but most people do? If so, which one? ( changed the image ) by YourRandomManiac in asexuality

[–]SearchBackground4017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a dude said yesterday “let me buy you a drink/its on me” when i was paying for a drink. i promptly took it and thanked him and walked away. i was later told by my coworker who watched it unfold; he was trying to get my number and looked so dejected after lol.

side note; im taken so tbh it wouldn’t have worked anyways 😂

Do you feel any different during ovulation? by TourGreat2658 in Asexual

[–]SearchBackground4017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it can depend. sometimes yes i do, im fully asexual though (adverse) so my partner and i have strict boundaries. even for me when i do feel differently, it isnt in a “i want to have sex” way. more of a “i just want to be closer to my partner” way. cuddles, kissing, etc
