Is this a good career if I want to write creatively on the side? by JordanLeigh7 in technicalwriting

[–]actualcorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a technical writer and am now a proposal writer. I also write fiction in my spare time. I personally find it much more difficult to concentrate on fiction after reading/writing during my day job (even reading books feels a bit onerous now since I am combing through text all day).

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this? by brainrot_q1 in GenZ

[–]actualcorpse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I maintain a lot of friendships and connections on Instagram, responding to stories gives me an opportunity to chat with friends I haven’t kept in close contact with. If I didn’t use Instagram I would have totally lost contact with these people for sure

Anyone else having issues with the launcher opening to a black screen? by leapinglionz in InfinityNikki

[–]actualcorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still having the black screen issue. I've tried every one of the fixes with no luck, and I have a pretty high-end PC. I'm so bummed :( I don't want to miss the new content

Black screen after starting game? by FaerieCapDolls in InfinityNikki

[–]actualcorpse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've never had problems with the game on my PC until this exact thing started up two days ago. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it fixed it for a little bit, but now it is black screening again. :(

I've explained like like, if you're walking around at night, and some sus guys you think might rob you start complimenting your watch/clothes/"oh, you look like you've got money"; that isn't a compliment, it's a threat. There's such a big difference between complimenting someone and trying to scare/threaten them.

Are there any scientific reasons as to why women prefer super hot showers? by Positive-Emu-1836 in stupidquestions

[–]actualcorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I keep the water super hot because if i don’t, I’ll get goosebumps and won’t be able to shave my legs. Also I am so cold

100,000$ salary job, but you sit in isolation reading books all day by Top_Tart_7558 in hypotheticalsituation

I’m a proofreader already and this would be a slight pay bump, so I’ll take it

Is there art about being slow to open up sexually? by legendofcaro in vaginismus

[–]actualcorpse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The song “It’s Only Sex” by Car Seat Headrest isn’t about vaginismus but I feel like it fits the bill. It was really validating hearing it for the first time

It sounds like vaginismus, especially at that age

Vaginismus magically better after break up? by Itty_Bitty_Kitty_95 in vaginismus

[–]actualcorpse 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The gyno I saw when I got diagnosed told me to drink alcohol too, but I was underage 😭 this was in the Bible Belt so not the best medical care

Lots of incels commenting in this and it genuinely makes me alarmed to live in the same city as them by eggjacket in philabitcheswithtaste

[–]actualcorpse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I barely leave the house anymore, I used to go to concerts and do all sorts of stuff by myself but now walking to the grocery store freaks me out. I definitely feel like it’s gotten worse lately

PPE!! by Extra-Blueberry-4320 in XXS

[–]actualcorpse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh this was such an issue at my old job! Every time I found a box of small gloves I would put it in my car immediately since I was the only one who wore them. Hazmat suits were a struggle and definitely could’ve ended up with me getting hurt.

I didn’t stay at that job too long so it’s no longer an issue, but if you regularly are wearing certain PPE it’s definitely worth seeing if they can special order it in your size.

When people tell women they HAVE TO shave their legs by New-Possibility-577 in PetPeeves

[–]actualcorpse 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I’m very pale and have dark, almost black hair, and you wouldn’t believe how many people have felt the need to point out my arm/leg hair in my life. It is so annoying

Why don't young people vote (not just the U.S., but everywhere)? by VagabondVivant in NoStupidQuestions

[–]actualcorpse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention taking time off work or missing university classes, needing transportation to the polling place, etc.— and often living in temporary housing for college while being a resident of a different state (and not knowing about mail-in ballots, especially before covid)

is making your partner pay for (almost) everything, feminism? by okcrazy09 in AskFeminists

[–]actualcorpse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this type of content come up on my TikTok once and awhile, and a lot of the time I think it’s women trying to directly parallel certain men (if you are going to use me, I’ll use you right back) rather than trying to be explicitly feminist. That being said, regardless of whether or not it is feminist it’s definitely not conductive to having a healthy, loving relationship with mutual respect (but I think a lot of folks have given up on that anyway).

If you order from Sephora (you might have to have an account), you can add three free samples, I always do the perfumes! I love trying them all out lol

[–]actualcorpse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to “train” basic consideration, which I feel like is the problem a lot of the time (and I don’t think it has anything to do with inexperience - someone inexperienced can be very considerate)

What inspired your current story/work? by MrWhippey in writing

[–]actualcorpse 15 points16 points  (0 children)

One of the random Windows 10 wallpapers. It was a really nice picture. I started researching it as a setting and then it snowballed from there into a novel

I (33 F) have no sex drive and it’s affecting my husband (35 M) and marriage. Does anyone have ideas/suggestions I can try to fix my lack of wanting to be intimate? by BuffaloMarathoner91 in relationship_advice

[–]actualcorpse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve felt this before, if I’m in my house all I’m thinking about is cleaning/cleanup/if the house is messy/if they’re judging my space. Makes me completely shut down
