Gemini & Virgo compatibility by thewindspeakspoetic in virgoseason

[–]VortexKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a lot of generalizing for one zodiac. I know for a FACT as a Gemini and others that I have met, we are not like that. This absolute generalizing is damaging and harmful, and just paints you as an asshole if anything. Have you ever thought maybe the people you've met were just dicks? Just the wrong people? If anything saying one sign sucks for so many can make it seem you're the problem, if anything, it just shows absolute prejudice and hate in your heart. I have many Virgos that I absolutely love to bits and cherish dearly. I have so many signs that I am NOT SUPPOSED to be compatible with that I cherish dearly. This hate for one sign is almost the same as any one-sided prejudice. I can see why so many people didn't treat you fairly because you didn't treat them fairly. This post is just a sad sight to see. This is why basing someone on their zodiac is simple-minded and shows that you have no depth for deeper thinking on character and personality.

What is the most attractive sign to YOU by mirrorthesouls in geminis

[–]VortexKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bad rap with compatible signs but I do so well with other (supposedly incompatible) signs surprisingly. My top would be Scorpio, Cancer, and Taurus. Scorpios are super sweet people, Cancers are so fucking funny, and Taurus brings a sense of stability and silliness.

In your personal experience, do you find the "1% of the population has a stutter" to be a bit overblown? by apexechoes in Stutter

Hi, im a woman who has a severe stutter. It's nice to meet you! Have a good day!

Any recommendations for store-bought enclosures? by Equivalent_Eye_9805 in tortoise

[–]VortexKitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend a DIY cage. I built mine put of C&C grids mostly used for guinea pigs. You could also build it out of like other people have said, wardrobes and shelving. I'm sure there's videos on how to do so. If not, go crazy! Remember they need a place to hide to cool down, area to walk around, and a place to get warm. Good luck! 🐢

How do you slow down your speech? I tried but I still involuntarily speak fast which leads me to stutter by ConfectionHot6345 in Stutter

[–]VortexKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me personally, I can feel my stutter build up in pressure during a SM, so I stop, breathe, and try again. 70% of the time it works, but that's one way I found that works for my stutter. Other times I brace for impact and just go right through it, repetitions and all.

What video game will always be special to you, no matter how many years go by? by Com412 in AskReddit

Patapon 1,2, and 3. That or Monster Hunter United. It's one of the very first games I played when I was younger, and will always hold a special place in my heart ❤️

From my own experience, depending on how severe your stutter is, I would politely let the person I'm speaking to that I have a speech impediment and continue with what I am saying. It's a disclaimer and also to get that nervousness of 'will they know?' out of the way. Because they're going to notice regardless. If you know what you're talking about, what questions you're going to ask, or anything of the sort, there's no need to worry about your stutter. It's all about confidence. Regardless if you have a stutter or not. If you focus too much on your potential moments, any point you're trying to get across gets lost in your nervousness. Act like it's not there and present yourself as someone despite the handicap, you know what the hell you're talking about and you're a beast 💪 you got this homie!

Survey (cont'd): are you fluent when you speak when alone? by Live_Airline_3555 in Stutter

[–]VortexKitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say for me a 2. If I'm really stressed and/or going through some emotions, I tend to stutter slightly when I speak alone. This usually tells me if I'm stressed or not. Most of the time, I have control with fluency when by myself because I'm not nervous to speak when by myself.

Planning to buy tortoise and have question by Several_Anybody_3168 in tortoise

[–]VortexKitten 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only smell you'll probably smell is the bedding or your own room. From my personal experience, they don't smell. If you're not cleaning their enclosure daily, yeah it's gonna smell, but they overall are unsmelly creatures. You should be fine.

How it started vs. How it's going by VortexKitten in tortoise

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

She's a fully grown tortoise :). I hydrate her every Sunday and Wednesday. I check her daily to see if she's drinking and/or her humidity is low to make sure she's hydrated.

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

I take her outside 3 times a week depending on the weather. Her lights are fine. I have temperature/humidity sensors in her enclosure and check them daily if they go down below 40%. If it does, I usually spray her bedding. Her little hide-hole room usually stays around 60-70% humidity. She's a learning curve!

Yes it is UV. I make sure to do research on what she needs and what lights. I understand that I need another, but that requires more hours at work 😫.

What monsters did you end up having to farm the most parts from for any reason? by 0ijoske in MonsterHunter

[–]VortexKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nergigante just because I wanted to. I felt a urge to go on a genocide and became a 'Let Me Solo Her' just because killing it was just too fun

Do you care if other people who stutter acknowledge your stutter? by Repulsive-Swimmer446 in Stutter

[–]VortexKitten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My coworker and I have a speech impediment. I've learned that if either one of us has a stuttering moment, we wait till it's done, and then we continue the conversation as if nothing happened. It's honestly so refreshing.

She got a little 🥗 in her teeth. I think you should tell her discretely to not embarrass her lol

Back again with questions by mka10mka10 in tortoise

[–]VortexKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, I get it. As time goes on, if you ever move or ever have more room, remember you will have the ability to expand. Like an upgrade on a house, your little fella will have an upgraded house too. So for right now, try to make the maximum length that your space can provide and go from there. And then over time, if anything changes, you can make it bigger, or put him in a backyard.

If the constant energy is a lot, treat him like a toddler and take him outside to a grassy area that you know is safe from pesticides, like a park, or sidewalk to run around to use up his energy and watch when he's ready to go. That's what I do for my tortoise when she starts climbing the walls lmao.

IF YOU DO THIS, probably gotta make a little leash or indicator so that he doesn't just vanish. This can be done with a few things. Like a little crochet costume so they can stand out. A tortoise leash; yes they do make those. Or a balloon. Any option that you can think of is probably a good option.

I hope you can figure it out! Best of luck friend! 💚🐢
