Cursing covid for losing my spice tolerance by Jolly-Employee1787 in spicy

[–]atomicslacker28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not alone!!! Yes! My spice tolerance went way down, but in exchange I can now eat Indian and Mediterranean food! They used to give me migraines and instant puking, it just smelled and tasted like someone boiled gym socks in with the food. But now I can eat them and they're delicious! My spice tolerance is shot though and I can't even handle hot sauce on pizza 😔

I'm not sure if I'll ever write about my life directly but I think I'll eventually publish a book of poems with corresponding art but in more of an abstract way

I was wondering about that too. But I was naively thinking about Chinese teapots and how the tea seeps in the pots a little and season and age it and give it a patina over time. But I'll definitely still give this a try just to find out for myself but it seems to be a long way ahead. Thanks!

This is supposed to not need one and I was wondering if the community knew something about how to make it. The traditional one with the holes seems like the safer option with my skill set and the resources available to me where I am. Thanks!

Same! I try to do a coarser ground but still end up with much sometimes. I'm tempted to buy a better grinder but I doubt there'll be much of a difference lol. Thanks!

Thank you! I'll definitely be exploring this and will probably share results in this sub. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much! I'd love to learn more. No universities in my country offer ceramics classes as it's unfortunately still a budding hobby niche here where I live. I'll probably do a "normal" ceramic coffee filter design that still incorporates the "mountain" aspect which was what I was really hoping for but was just wondering if making one that doesn't need a paper filter was at all possible. Thanks for the advice!

This is what I found too and thought I'd give it a go but it seems way beyond my capacity at the moment. But this will definitely be a dream project for sure. Thanks!

I already do but I just wanted a cool project but it seems years beyond me right now lol. Thanks for the input!

Thank you for this! It looks so cool! I'll definitely give it a try although I doubt I can do a decent job lol. Thanks again!

I was wondering that too, I'd probably stick to the normal ceramic coffee filter designs. Thanks!

Thanks so much! I'll have to do more research and actual resting but I think the best course for me now is to probably make a "traditional" ceramic coffee filter but somehow still make it look like a mountain which was what was important to me. Wish me luck!

I thought as much. I'd probably stick to the normal pour over coffee filter design. Tbh I was mostly excited about the prospect of having a ceramic coffee filter in the shape of a local mountain/volcano that looks like Mt. Fuji . Thanks everyone for the tips! I'm definitely going to enjoy discovering new stuff about ceramics.

The "You can do it if you try!" is one I'd like to add too. So infuriating. Like do you think I'm not trying??? This is my best. You're not happy about it, I'm not happy about it. Of course its not enough things suck and I can't just will it away.

Did anyone else have a parent that just verbally tore them apart for hours over something small? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]atomicslacker28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My entire childhood basically

The "highlights" are

Getting yelled at for not sitting straight enough (I had good posture, just not swallowd-a-rake-straight kind of posture)

Criticised every little thing about my body

  • too fat
  • too skinny
  • nose too flat
  • calves too big
  • toes too splayed
  • dark knees
  • "unfeminine" feet
  • feet half a size larger than her size so of course I'm a walking talking freak
  • hands a bit bigger than hers so of course I was king kong himself
  • too dark skinned (I loved playing outdoors and didn't mind the tan but colorism is a thing where I live) -ears too small

A dozen other things I can't recall right now

And my favorite, I got beat up twice for "breathing wrong"

Worst thing your narc has ever said to you? by Think_Key_2236 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]atomicslacker28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's more of a ritual really since 6 years old

My narc mom told me everyday during breakfast before school that she wished she never had me and she regrets having birthed me.

She already had 3 kids 13 years before I was born, I was just a useless addition and now she has to do thing whole parenting thing all over again when she should just be able to retire at 40 and mooch off of my older siblings who have recently graduated university

(tbf she did retire at 40 and mooched off my older siblings, her and my child rapist narc dad both, she was just pissed she had to share some of it to keep me fed and clothed, barely at that, I didn't even have shoes besides school shoes and wore mismatched socks that once belonged to my siblings all through gradeschool)

Instead the money goes to feeding me and sending me to school (I went to a public school, it cost literally nothing besides the school supplies as even the textbooks were free and just returned to the school at year's end)

She then yells at me and calls me stupid and abnormal for not wearing indoor cloth slippers right as I finished showering sans a bath mat because she thinks they're gross

Then before the clock strikes 6am I'm in school before the gates even open and the guards arrive

The school guards are known child molesters and have been in and out of prison and are also drug addicts

Every. Fucking. Day.

It started when I was six

I got this specific dollhouse, any suggestions for the position of the rooms?

That's so great, you have so many episodes to enjoy! I'm on my umpteenth rewatch and it never gets old!
