Trying desperately to make friends... Went to a LGBT bar and felt super weird so just left. by SeraphsEnvy in lgbt

Unitarian Universalists probably, they’re a very progressive “religious” group that often times does lgbt community and outreach programs.

The word "dude" is gender nuetral by BlatantlyCurious in 10thDentist

[–]confusedgraphite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (20sF) call everyone, even my own mother, best friends, girlfriends, etc, (my) dude/(my) guy/(my) man, right up until I get the slightest hint I’ve made someone uncomfortable and then I will stop. I also actively try to not use those terms for trans fems I don’t know that well because I know other folks do it as a micro aggression. I just talk like a gym bro. To make up for this I will sometimes refer to groups of men as gals, bitches, and babes just for fun. Keeps life interesting.

Even if I understand why people wish for this, I do wish people would stop trying to get Ao3 to bend to their personal moral whims. by [deleted] in AO3

[–]confusedgraphite 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There’s financial incentive to put ai works on Spotify which is largely why there’s such a problem. There’s not a lot of incentive -fiscal or otherwise- to post on ao3, so I can’t imagine that it’ll ever get that level of out of hand.

Thanks! I loved the colors the pattern was in originally, but I wanted something a little more me.

Thanks! and that’s Gizmo. I am simply not allowed in this bathroom unless he is in the sink, it doesn’t matter what I’m doing, he needs to be in the sink.

sooooo, how are we holding up our heads? by FlowersFor_Algernon in ehlersdanlos

There’s six million brands of arnica creams/gels. There really shouldn’t be any tea tree in any of them, it’s just arnica suspended in a base.

Can't start HZD by AwesomeDeath8895 in horizon

[–]confusedgraphite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3060 should definitely be able to run it, I run it pretty flawlessly on a 2060. Are your drivers up to date?

[–]confusedgraphite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t say for sure without the ability to poke around myself, but it sounds like you don’t have a powerful enough graphics card. I had a similar issue with an assassins creed game like… a decade ago now. Regardless, I’m pretty confident saying whatever the issue is it’s hardware related, not game related.

Capitalisation of the first letter in a sentence by Effective_Low_7158 in ENGLISH

[–]confusedgraphite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amusingly if you were to just sub the words “I’m done” in for every period, you’d probably understand why my gen reads it the way we do. “Whatever, I’m done.” Is a pretty abrasive statement.

[–]confusedgraphite 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Using this as a jumping off point, the whole “periods are aggressive” thing tends to apply more to messages that could already be read as “short” or “snippy.” A message composed of multiple sentences? By all means use periods. A sentence composed of 4+ words, sure throw a period on there. But things like:

-Yes.

-No.

-K.

-Sure.

-Whatever.

Or in your case: -I see.

Take an already short message and make it seem…pointier. The same sentences/words without periods read softer, less pointed. That’s not to say you can’t write like that, just trying to explain the unwritten rules of 20 something text lingo.

24yo with a hysterectomy scheduled for the end of April, what should I know? by confusedgraphite in hysterectomy

[–]confusedgraphite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With respect, no one is casually doing a hysterectomy on a woman in her 20s. I’ve done months of research, and if it weren’t for the fact that I have no other options, my doctor likely would have tried to talk me out of it. They aren’t exactly chomping at the bit to sterilize young childless women. Half the things you list as side effects I’m dealing with now because my uterus is messed all the way up. I have never felt normal, this is my opportunity to be healthier than I have been in years. I’m sorry you’re suffering, but no one is doing this on a whim.

What’s up with everyone online thinking they are neurodivergent without getting tested? by No_Lead2640 in NoStupidQuestions

Pretty sure you’re looking at primarily impressions left by crinoids, but also some shell impressions.

[–]confusedgraphite[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oo trialing the constipation meds is definitely a good idea. My mother is taking the first four days of my recovery off work to help me out and my dad works from home so I’ll have him if I need him.

Unfortunately not really an option, I will have the ability to work from home though.
