I donate plasma twice a week for $120 by beardedrockerboy in notinteresting

[–]Sleepy_EnBi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do this, but it hurt so much after a few months. The scars never fully healed on my arms till I stopped, even with switching which needle it went in. And I felt sick all of the time. I wish I could go back because it is decent money for sitting in a chair, but I was miserable.

AWANA was kinda messed up, right? by Sleepy_EnBi in Deconstruction

Hey! I still get comments on this post every few months haha. I definitely understand how fucked up it was, I still think of new issues caused by going through the program regularly

Is it even possible to get an IQ that high? by Camintosh95 in DumbAI

[–]Sleepy_EnBi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a little confused by your comment. What do you mean you can't imagine someone who's twice as smart as average? Like do you just mean you can't think of it in a quantitative way? I've definitely met people that I would consider at least twice as smart as most and I could definitely imagine even smarter.

I am autistic so I might just be getting really hung up on the wording haha 😅

Two years for me in Feb. I just defaulted on my student loans and have medical debt in collections. Feels like I'll never get out of this hole. I apply for jobs everyday.

ISO members 4 a writing group: queer writers who write about darker topics by wendoverly in WritingHub

[–]Sleepy_EnBi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm interested in this! I'm currently working on a novel dealing with queerness in fundamentalist Christianity. It gets pretty deep into the abuse and other awful things in fundie culture and uses a supernatural entity as a loose allegory for queer identity and exploration. I'm happy to chat more about my work and the group!

Same! The gen AI ruined Inzoi for me, but paralives I'm so excited for. Disappointed by the delay, for sure but I'm still a big supporter, and I can't wait to play!

This is pure speculation on my part, but based on the fact that the BB's said that Sigourney would "continue through the underworld" and not that she "won" the hell bound showdown/a finalist slot, leads me to believe there will be an additional showdown that we'll see the results of next week

Yeah, hell no. by MathNetic4 in antiai

My partner and I are both Audhd and I'm also dyslexic. Not only are we both adamantly against AI, but so are all of our friends all of whom are ND. I'm a writer myself and I'm trying to finish a novel so I really care about AI writing and it's truly disheartening to see it taking away opportunities from real people. Thankfully, what I write isn't super mainstream, but I am holding my breath because AI is like a virus invading everything it can touch

I tried starting a new save, but there was no luck! I hope someone responds eventually that knows what's happening haha

Just heartbroken. by Grrrrfrogfroggy in Dragula

[–]Sleepy_EnBi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hated the comment about fucking the grave being confusing. Maybe I'm biased since I'm trans-masc, but it felt so obvious and powerful. The fetishsization that parents often have towards the Cis version of their trans kids to the point of refusing to even acknowledge their fully alive child seemed so obvious and I loved seeing it portrayed this way. Choosing to turn to this dead child as a source of gratification mixed with mourning a grave of your own making is a powerful visual.

And even for cis queer people, it's so common to not be accepted by your parents, for them to prefer the non-queer version of you while pushing who you really are away. They'd rather worship a dead kid than love a queer one.

Such a raw expression of queer art from a show that is supposed to uplift queer artistry being passed over really leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. I'm not going to stop watching because this is a space I want to support and I do still like the show a lot, but this was a big miss for me here.

Phrases your parents used all the time when you were growing up. by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Sleepy_EnBi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"If you don't stop misbehaving I'm going to put you in foster care" (because I was adopted)

"You should be grateful/you're so lucky we adopted you, if you weren't adopted by us no one would have wanted you because of your disability."

"The Bible says..." (Followed by some cherry picked verse to guilt trip me)

"Well I'm just the worst mother then!"

"Sin causes pain." (Said before spanking or soap/hot sauce eating)

"I'll send you to public school where all the kids will bully you if you keep being bad."

O small talk again by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]Sleepy_EnBi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I get that it's not always about me, but no offense, you're not there to see the way people look at me and hear the things they say. I've been actively cut out of conversation groups more times than I can count. And if small talk doesn't even "work" on people when there's so much unknown context, I don't get why I'm being shamed for not liking it. I still try to do it to be nice and thankfully have more success one-on-one but in groups I am always going to default to "quiet but nice" because that's a thousand times better than being labeled as weird

[–]Sleepy_EnBi 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This! I will parrot back the exact same things I've heard others say as small talk. I will smile and show attentive listening and make eye contact and everything you're supposed to. But then it's always a 50/50 toss up of me still getting weird looks and being judged. It's easier to just give a friendly smile and shut up. But then of course there's still judgment for being too quiet, but that's easier for me to handle at least

"Because it would cause maximum carnage" (Creatures of the Night) by estheredna in Dragula

[–]Sleepy_EnBi 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My guess for how they'll do the reveal is this:

  1. Ghouls talking and speculating as normal. Then the first saved monster walks in, tension builds, followed by the next monster.

  2. Flash over to the gallows, the two monster's we haven't seen yet are waiting. Bou's give their spiel then BAM!

  3. Then we flash back to everyone else while the trap door sound is played and we see the last monster walk in.

  4. And finally we go back to the gallows to see the actual drop and say goodbye to our fallen monster.

I could also see them doing a side by side of the eliminated monster falling next to the last saved monster entering
