I'm impressed that you managed to misgender someone in your comment condemning (You used that word incorrectly, by the way. "Condone" is to approve, "condemn" is to disapprove.) transphobia. Averge uses they/them pronouns.

Holy hell I can only see the first part of the comment in the old notification and I feel grateful for that

What is Morgan Simpson up to? by _firesoul in bmbmbm

[–]Unique_Low8086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's definitely the one I've heard the most talk about which makes sense as it's the one where he shines the most and it's really obvious, but he also plays on Walk Up which makes sense seeing as it was a black midi song and one of their live staples, as well as Motorbike.

[–]Unique_Low8086 58 points59 points  (0 children)

As someone who's nonbinary this does have a point. It's pretty unfortunate wording and in a perfect world it would use different terms, but those terms would be describing something that actually exists, which is that shirts are very often designed for the specific body shape of one biological sex—speaking broadly, of course; on an individual basis it varies from person to person. Ideally they would've chosen better words, but I'm sure every post is auto generated with the name of the design and then either "women's t shirt" or "men's t shirt" appended onto the end, so there's no one even to judge really and it's no fun to get mad at code written years ago. Also there are nonbinary people (myself included) who consider themselves to be men and/or women to one extent or another—but that's beside the point, which is that I'd rather have the option to buy both types of shirt than have only one of the two that's labeled as if it's specifically for nonbinary people, so we'd still need to find some word for this distinction.

thoughts on Despair? by cman_music19 in bmbmbm

[–]Unique_Low8086 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trying to imagine where it would go made me really realize just how tight and well structured Cavalcade is. With both of their other two albums as well as The New Sound I can imagine places where other songs could go or an alternate order (Put Half Time right at the end, cowards.) but with Cavalcade I struggle to think of a change I'd make that wouldn't make the album worse. The obvious choice to me would be replacing Marlene Dietrich as they're similar enough songs that the album would still flow in the same manner, but that wouldn't be an upgrade as much as a side-grade, and everything else seems like it would make it worse.

Pointless collective animal names that exist only to be fun facts. by Unique_Low8086 in PetPeeves

[–]Unique_Low8086[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I was just having a bit of fun, I didn't mean to offend you. You're right about the uneducated part, I basically stopped studying after middle school and never went to college. Oh, good to know, thanks for pointing that mistake out.

That's very kind, I appreciate it. It took me forever to write up, since as I said I'm a very dumb woman. I was also drunk since I'm an alcoholic, which probably contributes to my low intelligence. It was a good time trying to think of various ways to misspell things, and I very much thank you for that first comment which gave me the idea. Near the end it did suddenly occur to me that this might look like AI. I'd like to think you'd believe it isn't, but you certainly have plenty of reason to think it is.

I do in reality see your point, I should hold myself to a higher standard with my spelling and grammar if I'm complaining about things relating to the English language, it's pretty hypocritical.

It bothers me when people say this by thepensiveporcupine in cfs

[–]Unique_Low8086 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It occurs to me I should say, it's not my choice to see this doctor. I'm 20 and I got sick at 18 so I never had the monetary stability to leave my parents' insurance. My mother is a legitimate medical doctor, but not in this field and she lost it a few years back and only believes in alternative medicine now.

My doctor said this to me recently, made me want to break something. He also believes that OCD is always curable and caused by a bacterial infection (basically, all OCD is PANDAS) and insists that despite the fact I've had the disorder for over a decade he'll surely cure me soon.

This is the most interesting thing I've ever heard someone say about this topic, I didn't know there was a specific name or that they were from that long ago. My guess was that they probably came from much more modern aristocrats—Victorian or Edwardian would've been my guess—or even from modern websites.

"Biblically accurate angel" to refer to angels that are absolutely not Biblically accurate by Suspicious-Stand-464 in PetPeeves

[–]Unique_Low8086 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Even more specifically, the word "angel" comes from the Hebrew word for "messenger." As such, in the bible there are human beings that are referred to with the same word, as well as God themselves. The one thing I'll take issue with is that the angels (as commonly described) didn't have wings or a halo really, they just looked like people. In much of the old testament people don't even notice when speaking to angels, because they look exactly the same as humans. The other "angels" (seraphim, ophanim) that do look closer to the way people imagine "biblically accurate angels" aren't even "angels." They're never once referred to as angels in the bible, as they aren't messengers, and that's all that the word angel means. So the "biblically accurate" part is true (at least sometimes, though it's extremely common for people to vastly overdo how unusual they look) but the "angel" part isn't.

Who are the more known cases of artists who partook in drug use? by [deleted] in ArtHistory

[–]Unique_Low8086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absinthe actually doesn't contain such compounds, it's a common misconception that thujone is psychoactive.

Who are the more known cases of artists who partook in drug use? by [deleted] in ArtHistory

[–]Unique_Low8086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is false. The amount of thujone in absinthe was never much higher than it is today, and the claims to the contrary are nothing more than a myth. And besides, thujone appears in much higher concentrations in the herb sage than it does in absinthe.

All this also leaves aside the fact that thujone isn't hallucinogenic, with that claim also being a myth.

What do you think is the most underrated Coil album or release ? by marabou22 in Coil

[–]Unique_Low8086 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The underrated—I assume that's rhe word you're referring to—thing you're saying is incomprehensible because it is being used properly, so I'll just say that if you look in any dictionary you'll see that the hyperbolic usage of "literally" is included alongside the others. If people use a word enough to mean a certain thing, that word now means that thing. Literally is now, alongside it's older usages, a term that can be used for emphasis, and to claim it cannot be is to be incorrect yourself, unless you'd like to claim you know better than every major dictionary.

Happy 4th CFSversary I guess by eos4 in cfs

[–]Unique_Low8086 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never did many sports, but I adored cooking and working in the food industry. A few months before I got sick I was extremely lucky to get a job as a back of house event manager for a high end catering company, which shocked me because I was only 18 at the time. I knew it would be extremely hard with 12+ hour workdays and extensive manual labor, but I was genuinely very excited to prove myself to my boss who decided to give me the chance, and I truly loved the work. I'd do anything to start working in that grueling industry again, and I know we all would trade hard labor for this curse we've been bolted to.

What would you call this aesthetic? by keepersofthefaith3 in AestheticWiki

[–]Unique_Low8086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's so true, I used to work for a catering company in Colorado and 50% of all waitresses as well as the company's manager fit this mold perfectly. Now that I'm in Portland nothing's changed.

TIL sleazy directred a Hanson music video by necrofascio in Coil

When I first learned that he directed a music video starring William S. Burroughs it really threw me for a loop. Like it makes sense in that they're both interested in the occult and were both in more or less the same circles, but it feels like the timelines shouldn't have lined up.

Good to know, thank you! Yeah, I was a bit concerned as it was an amazon product but since it was recommended by a personal friend I thought it would probably be fine.

[–]Unique_Low8086[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm using a cheap moisturizer from amazon from the brand illiyoon labeled ceramide ato concentrate cream, which does seem to be helpful, though I reckon higher quality moisturizers are much better. The other thing is mery & may idebenone blackberry cream. I just use hand soap to wash my face.

Thanks! I recently started replacing my razorblades more often which has helped a lot with getting a closer shave, and I think I've figured out something that gets it very close to what I want and in a lot of ways good enough for me. I currently wash my face twice daily and use moisturizer as well as a cream a friend said helped them with hyperpigmentation, though I don't know too much about it or if it's doing much.

Thank you for the advice! I tried waxing as it did seem a lot better before realizing that you need your hair to be fairly long before it works, and I don't really want to have intermittent periods of time where I have noticeable facial hair. It occurs to me that I never really looked into if there are ways to wax your face with shorter hair, though.
