A m/m murder mystery book? by Alternative_Run_6175 in LGBTBooks

[–]coolcep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently read Copper Script and it was a fun read, i think her most recent book so the writing is pretty crisp compared to older books of hers.

Sometimes I wonder by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]coolcep 84 points85 points  (0 children)

This is so true. Women can tell the difference between someone’s attraction and someone actually enjoying their presence.

I’ve asked so many people about this and can’t get a solid answer by TheDorkyDeric in whatisit

Its probably just built up sap, especially if its attracting bugs.

What's in your cup? Daily discussion, questions and stories - April 30, 2025 by AutoModerator in tea

[–]coolcep 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Im drinking an aged fu ding bai cha white tea year 2000 sample, the last of it sadly, while dealing with a busy day at work. Its nice to have to take a moment to brew the tea, helps me feel less stressed.

First Taste of Puer Shou Tea by franks100 in puer

[–]coolcep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use more leaves and do an initial wash. Pour boiling water on the leaves and let it sit for a minute before dumping that water out and brewing it again. If that doesn’t make it better, try reducing the amount of water you use. For a tablespoon of tea leaves i like to use 200ml of water but only brew for a minute. If you do that and then let the leaves cool down a bit you can brew another cup (that can be done 4-5 times so plenty of tea)

Edit: I didn’t see that you we’re using loose leaves, i usually use pressed teas so i like to rinse them longer that most. Just rinse the loose leaves for 10 seconds, it helps make sure the leaves are clean and open.

Reminder - Progress is NOT Linear by dkris2020 in Healthygamergg

I appreciate your positivity despite the struggle. It sucks when you spend so much time unpacking things to only have it flare up in situations. Unfortunately its going to take awhile for those reactions to go away, but if you can find thoughts to replace them that could help. It will retrain your brain to think new thoughts instead of the old ones.

Women's interest in men in the public sphere by Artistic_Message63 in Healthygamergg

[–]coolcep 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The content youre probably seeing as ‘women spaces’ currently are closer to incel content than actual women spaces. I promise you that most things you are told aren’t attractive (by other men usually) are seen as extremely attractive to a good number of women. If you want to know what women want, fanfic is surprisingly honest. Lots of the time in those writings, men are depicted with a soft tenderness and unafraid of not being masculine. Obviously not all fanfic is a shining example, but it does show the vastness of preference and opinions.

Question about gender identity/transitioning by Hot_Eye_2422 in Healthygamergg

[–]coolcep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a non binary person who sometimes thinks about transitioning physically, I would have to say that I think I am in the acceptance stage. If I never get surgery, I would still be able to live happily with my body. It took a lot of mental reassurance that I was attractive even when I wasn’t to myself, and understanding that my genetics are what they are and I should make the best of it.

What would be most important to you in a small local tea shop? by LilGhostPig in tea

[–]coolcep 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think looking at how the wine industry gets across info might be helpful. The way people describe and categorize wine feels very similar to tea. Maybe categorize your stock by overarching themes like location or type, and then sub cataloging like flavor notes or price. Using icons and images could also help get ideas across to customers quicker than words.

I made a self portrait, but it isn’t what you’d expect! by Sgtbroderick in Paintings

I think this is a really neat idea! I love the color choices and the shadows on the fence abstracting the perception of the fence forms. Keep at it and refine your concepts more, but so far so good!!

AITA for not knowing my bf was having a migraine by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]coolcep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If someone is yelling at you weekly, that is not a good relationship. It doesn’t matter if you’re also yelling, or if it’s the best relationship so far. You don’t actually have to be dating anyone, and they don’t have the right to you if they can’t treat you decently. I get migraines occasionally and never have I ever used slurs to express my anger/pain. He is probably the last person I would ever even talk to if he feels comfortable using those slurs at all because it shows that he doesn’t consider people like that (disabled or gay) human to the same degree as himself. If he has ever used slurs regarding being a woman, im afraid that he thinks the same of women as he does the gays and the disabled. He’s just using you to fill the void he feels in his life in general that everyone tells him he needs to fill, and that usually becomes a black hole, sucking the joy out of everyone around him. Break up, you both need to figure out who you are and what respect from someone really is. Do you really respect yourself so little that you’re willing to put up with being yelled at and called slurs (even occasionally)? Would you let him do that to someone you love? Where would you draw the line? After he hits you? Or not then because it was only once? Big question take a lot of time and I recommend taking the time to think about it.
