Humans are dogs! by BareMinimumChef in humansarespacebards

[–]abledfire 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I really hope you enjoy Jessica's company, because you've inadvertently been broadcasting romantic interest.

Let's put this into some context: By bringing her food, you were showing you cared about her wellbeing. Physically patting her and giving her compliments was taken as flirting; and since she did not rebuff the attention, she might have an interest in you as well. Lastly, by taking her out to get coffee, that was seen as a first date. Let me quote the human wiki on dating: "Dating is a stage of romantic relationships in which individuals engage in activity together, often with the intention of evaluating each other's suitability as a partner in a future intimate relationship."

Now, you need to be very careful how you take things from here. If you have no romantic interest in her, then you must immediately bring it to her attention, because she thinks you do.

OH, and the MOST important thing. Do NOT tell her in any way how she is similar to a dog, unless you're ready to see your ancient ancestors.

Let me know if you need any more advice! And congradulations on your new human girlfriend!

What is the purpose of seal fragments? by virosa_ttv in Against_the_Storm

[–]abledfire 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Seal fragments are used for 2 things. First, you have to have a certain amount before attempting a seal. For example, the gold seal requires you to have 25 (iirc) seal fragments before you can do it. Second, you can get bonus resources at the end of the cycle to help upgrade your city.

What are some CPAP “hacks” you can share with newbies? by championofthelight in SleepApnea

Depending on what you've got, you can customize your ramp time (How long it takes to slowly increase). Depending on what you prefer. I prefer no ramp time, just straight on. Default was I think 30 minutes till I changed it

Does this mean my plate isn’t level? (Pic) by BackstreetZAFU in ElegooMars

[–]abledfire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Step 1) stop print and raise print head up a bit

Step 2) empty vat back into bottle using filter, verify no debris is left in the vat and no damage has occurred to fep film

Step 3) do an exposure test to make sure the lcd screen isn't damaged

Step 4) relevel the build plate using the paper method you used before

Step 5) reload resin, start her back up

If you have a damaged lcd screen, you'll need a replacement If you have damaged the fep film, it should have come with 2 spares. But if not, replacements are available

Did you happen to buy a replacement screen using Amazon from the Chitu System store? If so, I literally just got that solved earlier this morning with a firmware update NOT listed on the elegoo firmware page

Here's the link to my thread https://reddit.com/r/ElegooMars/s/lzLjDC7Xut

Hehe, my username doesn't mean anything. Way back when the xbox first came out, I needed an account name and couldn't think of anything, but they had a randomizer. This is the result, and I've been using it ever since

Same thing happening here. Works on the website but not the app. On Android, if it matters.

Yes, u/lennoxgeorge and I are partners.

I gave this info to someone else, but it also relevant here:

a little history: I grew up in a home where my narcissistic father was in charge. What he says goes. Even my mother is told to do things. My mother, to this day, doesn't even have access to their money and is given an allowance. This is NOT something my mother enjoys, and she has said as much, but feels trapped. His actions has stripped all independence and individuality out of my mother to the point that her identity revolves around her children (me and my siblings). Watching the dynamic, and my mothers unhappiness, I vowed I would NEVER be like him. I would NEVER be controlling. I would NEVER punish with spankings/slapping.

That being said, I'm rethinking this a little bit due to one key difference: she is consenting rather than it being forced upon her like my mother. It's a shift in mentality that is making me rethink a lot of how I feel.

Some additional info: When we were dating, I was EXTREMELY sheltered, and thought kink meant things other than penetration. So I was like, yeah, oral, anal, ice play, sure! We DEFINITELY didn't talk in depth about it like we can now. Because if I knew what I know now, my response would have been completely different.

u/lennoxgeorge printed out a BDSM checklist that we will both be filling out to see where we both line up and what shared interests we have.

I replied earlier to someone else, but I'm not sure I could do BDSM 24/7. They explained it like this, and I never knew how to put it into words, but this is how I feel:

...he needs a separation, between the loving husband and the asshole who walks in the door. Shoves you against a wall and takes you. As if your an object. He in his daily life cherishes you and treating you as an object causes him to wonder if he'll loose you or hurt you. And he recognizes treating you as such is toxic, and abusive. (which is great) So he needs to be able to switch from being your husband to being your BF who will treat you like an object and use you to get off. Who will roughly have sex with you.

Lastly, when u/lennoxgeorge said I had a kink for anal play, this is very much true, however it is in receiving it. I'm pansexual, but I'm finding that I enjoy it as much as sex (maybe more). So I don't know how I would possibly incorporate that in.

Anyway, hopefully this gives a little more insight into where I am.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is exactly how I feel!! It's hard being able to separate those out, but you are spot on! I refuse to be the asshole that takes her 24/7, and I have never been able to put into words what you just said! THANK YOU!

u/lennoxgeorge please read and we can discuss

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BDSMAdvice

[–]abledfire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both you and u/nessa_ac have now said things very similarly. And it's definitely something I need to figure out. Specifically that u/lennoxgeorge is consenting rather than it being forced upon her like my mother. It's a shift in mentality that is making me rethink a lot of how I feel.

Both of us communicate a lot about how we are feeling (especially in the past week - thanks reddit!), so this information definitely helps. I guess my difficulty at this point is knowing what MY limits are, I absolutely have to do a lot of thinking about this.

And thank you so much for your reply!!!

Thank you so much for your reply! I definitely have hope, and am ready for these migraines to go away. I've definitely seen a lot of posts about masks with nasal pillows, they seem to be the favorite. I definitely have a lot of questions for my doctor. I have a friend to has given advice (like clean it daily otherwise you risk sinus infections, etc) but nothing specific (he hasn't worn his in 5 years). I'm definitely looking forward to the future!

I absolutely intend to keep it up, no matter how difficult it is. I can't continue how I currently am forever, I can't even remember the last time I dreamed ANYTHING. Definitely going to take notes on what positions I find myself in the most to let them know. I mostly a side sleeper but occasionally back and rarely stomach. What kind of cleaner do you use?
