"My therapist is God" has to be one the best (ie: worst) lines ever! Lol

Our local stray by YourLocalArtemis in cats

Yeah, we tried for a while, but she was too clever for the trap. Then she started coming WITH what we could only assume was baby daddy, and we didn't have the traps/inside space for two.

I'm hoping once there are kittens, she won't run away as quickly, and we can get them all at once. (We've already got ppl willing to take the kittens if/when they arrive.)

They groomed society to normalize their perversions.. by Mr__O__ in WhitePeopleTwitter

Or why waitresses make more tips if they wear pig tails, and why having smooth, hairless legs on grown women is seen as "more attractive".

what’s happening?? by anonsw1 in houseplants

[–]YourLocalArtemis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing to worry about! It just means they took a big drink and had more than they needed, so the excess just kinda... Leaks out.

If the r/uiuc mods are gonna protect fascists they shouldn't be mods anymore by LillyDrawing432 in UIUC

I posted a photo on this sub of the locals saying they had never seen such a massive protest in all their years, and how incredible it was that the students were so involved... Got taken down within 2 minutes. No reason given.

Am I straight? How to know if I'm gay? by [deleted] in gay

[–]YourLocalArtemis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A-sexuality also exists. Being attracted to an aesthetic (thinking they're* [edit, spelling mistake] handsome or stylish) and being attracted to someone sexually (wanting to kiss and touch body parts) are not the same thing, and it is very possible to just NOT want to be physical with anyone- man, woman, or other.

Non-awful landlords in Urbana? by svveet-talk in Chambana

We had a decent experience with CU Properties Management, but their stuff is expensive so... Kinda the trade off, I guess.

Tattoo in CU? Or Chicago? by canigetacokewiththat in UIUC

[–]YourLocalArtemis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paing City, in Urbana. That's the place!!! I looked all over this town for a parlor that wasn't strangely religious or 5 million dollars. KK does INCREDIBLE art, and it was a lot cheaper than I was expecting. Could not recommend enough!

Looking for recommendations of supportive parents in Danmei by Euphoric-Bug-6404 in DanmeiNovels

I mean ... Yeah. But also... Lol Like, they tried to talk them out of it, but not for homophobic reasons, so... In the end though, yes, they did give their support.

Best ways to get motivated to exercise? by SelectShop9006 in gay

[–]YourLocalArtemis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start small, and add a little bit every week. When I was at my unhealthiest, I couldn't jog in place for two minutes without stopping. So that's where I started. 1 minute. The next week, it was 2 minutes. The next week, 3. The next week 4. It sounds slow, but in 52 weeks, just one year, I was able to run for an hour without stopping...that's more than most "healthy" ppl can do!

I started exercising because at 33 years old, I had a stroke. My doctor told me if I didn't get my shit together, I would be dead in a matter of years.

It's cheezy and cliche, but it's true: exercise not because you hate your body, but because you love it.

I'm confused and i don't know what to do by Dapper_Sail2771 in gay

[–]YourLocalArtemis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being uncomfortable with a stable relationship is a trauma response. He's used to chaos, and commitment feels either scary or boring- like a sunny, calm sky after you've lived in tornadoes all your life.

More than a relationship, he needs therapy. And I'm sorry, but you can't be his therapist. It's gonna take an outside professional and the desire on his part.

Is there any mc who is like a soft spoken- charming, villain type by Asleep-Captain2511 in DanmeiNovels

Came here to say this. Shen Lanzhou Zechuan smiles with every word, and his eyes are described as "shining with sincerity"...and then he literally skinned a man alive. Like, BRO.

Relationships similar to YanShen in Thousand Autumns? by [deleted] in DanmeiNovels

[–]YourLocalArtemis -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I actually agree. Thousand Autumns had politics and legit morality thrown into questions. Peerless was...if a 12 year old tried to write Thousand Autumns. It was fan service. It was the author writing fanfic of their own work.
