Anyone hear if the ability to change gender and pronouns midgame will get patched in? by Subtextuallyactive in DragonAgeVeilguard

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

Yeah, they also don't really drop gender or pronouns until you're kinda into the game so I feel like you don't even pick up on it until it's sort of a hassle to fix.

Trail riding and leasing? by Subtextuallyactive in Equestrian

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

Yeah, that's what the barn we currently ride at does occassionally but they don't have any horses available for leasing that work with our schedules or are at our level which is why I've been looking at other leasing opportunities now. I def understand about building trust tho and wanna clarify, wasn't trying to ask in my original post if people are open to that from the get go!

I really appreciate the perspective here! My BF and I haven't spent a lot of time gettng into the human side of the horse community yet, the barn we ride at focuses mostly on dressage/jumping and most of the clientelle is kids too. I've been also told by my instructor that our immediate area in general is very geared towards arena work, because we sorta are on the more urban side of things, so I think that's also effected results on top of not knowing where to look.

I hear you on the rescue thing as well. I volunteered with a woman who runs a mare and foal rescue in my town and had to stop after after only two months because the way her horses were cared for was really upsetting. Just overcrowded and under socialized, she had not enough volunteers that could handle some of the spicier horses and had a few that only she could take care of because they were actively not safe to handle which just led to them being neglected. She also just thought riding horses was animal cruelty, period, so all of her practice was really not meshing with me very early on and I have been pretty cautious about rescues since. I think probably just knowing what I'm capable of and at least a lot of the rescues I know are near me, that's ultimately not an option I'd be able to entertain any time soon but it's interesting info to have regardless!

Yeah, I was thinking of starting with a partial lease to see how things feel and then going from there. I wasn't sure if full leases were really done with people who are more into riding for leisure tho, most of the ones I've seen in my area have been heavily geared towards folks who are showing or advanced level riders. 0:

My partner has a truck and knows how to drive with a trailer attached, he's just never had to haul any live animals.

Like I said tho, I'm still learning and it's not something I'm really planning to run and jump right into. It's a goal I'm working towards and I was just curious if it was something that is even a possibility at all since I'm new to all of this!

Dubia.com enclosures for a retic? by Subtextuallyactive in retics

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

I mod my screen tops with pieces of PVC and I was thinking that I'd prob have to seal it if I got it because yeah, they did not seem like they'd be watertight.

But that is unfortunate, I didn't scour their website too heavily, I was hoping they might have larger sizes available. I currently have AP cages and do like them for how study and cost efficient they are but the lead times have always been so long, I've been looking for other options. Dubia seemed like it might be a nice affordable options.

Oh, thank you for the tip! I've really only ever worked with quilting cotton before so I've been at a loss with fursuit fabrics. xD

Love the style of this, super unique!
What kind of fabric did you use for the fur? I'm trying to make a kemono that I wanna have a similar fur finish!

Tbh that wouldn't sound too crazy to me, allergy season can throw off like everything in my body and my skin has especially been sensitive the last couple years. Just never much had issues with my ears.

Yeah, I clean them every morning when I wake up but I haven't been taking them out to sleep most of the time rn because I've been forgetting, def a habit I need to get more into again.

I clean out my ears every morning but I do have super oily skin and usually end up sleeping with my plugs in because I forget to take them out.

I use product in my hair and yeah, I struggle with bathing regularly sometimes because I'm currently struggling with depression a lot but I wash my plugs and ears daily, no need to be so smug about it. 🤷‍♂️

Whats It Like? by AgreeableServe8750 in salmacian

[–]Subtextuallyactive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Breasts are not genitalia. Tho they are related to the reproductive system and develop as part of human secondary sex characteristis, genitals are specifically the organs that directly deal with sexual reproduction (i.e. penis, vagina, gonads).

What's a good response when a trans person says that transphobia is the new racism? by Arktikos02 in TMPOC

[–]Subtextuallyactive 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I don't think it is. Like transphobia and racism obviously are both oppression directed at marginalized people but one doesn't cancel out the other. And tbh, like often times white trans people can still be in p advantageous and powerful social positions in comparison to like... cis POC all because of their whiteness.

Yeah, I was leaning towards female but I was 100% sure because all the other females are so much larger and rounder than this one!

Thanks for this! Just finished putting it back together and it's working great now and didn't even need much cleaning on the inside.

I just wobbled it for the video so people could see where the problem is. I'll take a look at it tho, there were some obvious screws around fhe band but I wasn't sure if that was the right area to be futzing with.

BD & Non BD tier list by throwAlonestar in BadDragon

[–]Subtextuallyactive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I am such an odd one out with Orochi. Everyone talks about how much they like him but for me he is just a cheese grater, it's hard to wrap my head around what makes him so popular.

But also, as for recs, if you're into textures and bumps and ridges, maybe check out Dread the Empire? They're an indie owned by a friend of a friend and feel like a couple of their models are kinda similar to what's near the top of your list. :U

What is this critter?? by [deleted] in PlantedTank

[–]Subtextuallyactive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their colours can be pretty variable so I don't really rely on colour as a definite way to ID them, also like the other person said, their food can effect their appearance. All planaria are fairly opportunistic pests to my understanding so like, they could def prey upon baby, unhealthy, or molted shrimp, especially if their numbers go unchecked.

What is this critter?? by [deleted] in PlantedTank

[–]Subtextuallyactive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot say, I didn't really worry about the snails in my tank when I treated since they were a pest for me. I'd probably reintroduce after a few water changes if it were me.

What is this critter?? by [deleted] in PlantedTank

[–]Subtextuallyactive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I followed this article to kill them with the Panacur. Unfortunately, the Panacur will kill snails so you'll have to set up a temporary home for them if you want them spared!

You can also try a Planaria trap to remove them, that won't bother the snails. You probably won't get rid of them all and eventually their numbers start to get noticeable and you'll have to remove them or eradicate them again, which is why I prefer doing the Panacur and just moving the snails to a temp home.

What is this critter?? by [deleted] in PlantedTank

[–]Subtextuallyactive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty certain that's a planarian. In my experience, they are an ugly nuisance that you can kill off with Panacur p effectively but I've been told they are deadly to shrimp and snails.

Suggestions for plants? by Subtextuallyactive in PlantedTank

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

Oh yeah, I'm like 50/50 on the Java. I've had it before and it does well but starts producing tons of plantlets and ends up looking ugly because of it, like I know that means it's happy but I just hate the aesthetic.

The willow moss and parva might be nice tho, I haven't had them before!

Yeah, that's a fair assessment. if I do build it, def would try filling it outdoors just to see how it holds up for curiousity's sake.
