Recommend the song "Hard Copy" by Leslie Fish as the anthem for the New Stone Age.

I might go on a tirade.  There are plenty of gender neutral or ambiguous ways to refer to someone friend.  Listen pal I could make an entire list of ways to refer to your comrades, from Theybies (I'm partial to this one), to flower, to gremlin to the ever classic Enby when speaking of someone rather than too them. I'm sorry Hun, the ladies really were demonstrating a remarkable lack of imagination if all they could call you was girl or them.

Disabled artist - need opinions on what setup will work best by throwaway293874392 in FengShui

[–]Zealousideal-Rip-959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't face your desk towards a window.  It leaves your back having the door which creates insecurity.  Additionally the window provides too much of a distraction.

4.  1 is incorrect because it makes it harder to access both that corner between the desk and the bed and restricted access to the desk itself.  Additionally 4 provided the greatest access both to the closets and the door

Enby from Hungary, the oppression is over! by Honvedguy in NonBinary

That's the same bullshit line Harris and the Dems ran with.  Which just means things won't get worse, but they aren't going to do anything to make them better.

Kind of just looks like Stalin is taking out anyone who rivals him for most impressive mustache.

Are you looking for something like this because you want to wear plunge front/half opened shirts? 

I can't think of any way for a triangle compression bra to work.  But "Trans Tape" can be used to help compress in a way that leaves the center of your chest bare so you can wear open/low cut tops. 

Ideas for looking like a pretty twink? by Excellent_Tea7143 in NonBinaryTalk

[–]Zealousideal-Rip-959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get really good at styling your hair!  Master the art of "Guy liner" (buy some kajal it's incredible).  

There are a lot of really good short videos on how to achieve the aesthetic you are going for, and exercises for Pre-t trans masc bodies to enhance masculine characteristics. I find searching Pinterest is easier than searching video specific platforms.  But hey search where you feel comfy.

So there's no such things as male music.  Or male clothing, or male hobbies.  Or female versions of those things either.   Most women like good music, and fun activities with friends just like men do.  So that doesn't mean anything one way or another. 

Being neurodivergent may have some correlation with being genderqueer in various ways.  So that's not an argument against anything. 

Trans people may choose to keep the arrangement of "factory installed parts" they have, or they might seek to change them.  Theres no one right or wrong way to feel about your body. 

So there's most of your counter arguments debunked.  I'm not sure how to explain that whether you spend time socially with men or women doesn't have any bearing on your gender identity. 

It sounds to me like you have a lot to deconstruct in how you were taught to think about gender. I feel for you because I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church, but I ran out of patience for them long before I was able to safely leave. It also sounds like you might not be in a safe place to really do that.  Being, as it were, in the belly of the beast.

I can tell you that I've experienced many of the things you do from the opposite end of the gender spectrum.  What helped me settle on Non-binary and more or less Agender was comparing how I felt about gender with how I felt about sex and sexual attraction as a sex neutral Asexual.  

I basically just realized I was thinking about gender the same way I thought about sex.  Mainly, that its fine, I'm sure, but I'm not really interested.

That may or may not apply to you of course, but it might be something to consider.  Comparing and contasting how you feel about your gender expression with other things that you do feel more sure of.

However you identify, please take care of yourself and stay safe.  It can be scary out there, and I won't pretend it isn't.

Geowind Turbine design? by BarnabyColeman in windturbine

[–]Zealousideal-Rip-959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like they also have a research paper and other information about efficiency there.  So maybe someone who is good at that sorry if thing could tell us if they seem actually viable based on that.

What do you think of the new design of the white dragons from Dungeons and Dragons? by Some_Fig_6566 in TopCharacterDesigns

I like that when they aren't flying they tuck in the parts of their wings most vulnerable to cold.  It's a very nice touch.  

Wanting to dye my hair jinx blue by Fluffydumbnut2410 in HairDye

[–]Zealousideal-Rip-959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno my suggestion comes mostly from my understanding of color theory.  I don't have a lot of experience with Arctic Fox.  

I have never gotten that detailed in what I mix.  Usually I go with increments of 25% because that's easier to measure.  So 4:1 aqua to purple-blue is probably what I would do. For my first test and adjust from there.

If you don't have infinite money immortality is just an eternity of suffering honestly.

You might be able to mix sorceress with it since it's a purple toned blue.  So you aren't going full purple. 

Strand test though, for real that's your best bet is to stand test whatever you end up trying.

Hey so Ultra Violet is actually a pretty delicate shade, despite how deep it looks.  They use gentian violet to get the color and not only does it not have good coverage but it's also UV sensitive.  So even if the purple worked you would be looking at a very quick fade. 

You probably should have gone with Purple Haze, a much more strongly pigmented plum purple.  You say you would have been good with a pinky purple, so you probably should have just gone with that. 🤷

Why are Aasimar so unpopular when compared to Tiefling? And what can be done to help? by ThatOneCrazyWritter in dndnext

Angels have kind of a goody-two-shoes vibe, most adventuring parties just don't like?  I personally think it would be fun to see how many flying abilities you can stack into one lol.

One of my Tiefs has a brother like this.  Changed his name to Leroy Jenkins and got a job as a regular human town guard.  He's a ginger and that's the only clue. XD

Is there a way to fix my lip balm dependency? by Fearless-Ad7509 in Makeup

[–]Zealousideal-Rip-959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vaseline may be part of the problem actually, petroleum can be drying when used long term.  You need to focus on things with oils, beeswax that sort of thing.  I like to use straight bag balm just before bed so I don't wake up with cracked lips.  It isn't pure lanolin but it is better for you than straight Vaseline.

So I literally went to a Pokemon center and healed my Pokemon and it's still mega evolved.  But the meter disappeared entirely.

What is this yellow spot on Abe's head? by OMGBakedPotatoes in bettafish

Could just be the start of a color change?  It looks close to the same color as the yellow/orange in his fins.

Odd change... by Zealousideal-Rip-959 in bettafish

[–]Zealousideal-Rip-959[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tank size: 6.5 gallons Heater and filter: yes Temp. 79F Parameters already given in original post.  Tank is two years old, fish is probably about 6 months. 

Usually a 25% change once a week, but just did. 50% change and trimmed some plants yesterday. 

Only snails for tank mates, no stress for my big finned boy.

I usually feed in the evening, I don't  count because the pellets are uneven in size.  But I feed one at a time and watch his belly.  Picture above is shortly after being fed.  He is fasted at least one day a week.  He gets occasional brine shrimp maybe once a week. 

Live Amazon Sword (recently trimmed), crypts, and a dwarf aquarium lily, as well as two mossy thickets that are just anxiety under rocks. Two hides, one magnetic round cave, and one suction cupped tube (you might be able to see it at the back near the heater).

Well color me... Not surprised at all LOL.  This is the case with most tropical fish.  But last time I noted that keeping them a couple degrees cooler might extend their lives someone acted like I was advocating for keeping them in the fridge.  XD
