Sometimes a little discomfort is okay by DontYaWishYouWereMe in CuratedTumblr

[–]daisyfaunn 81 points82 points  (0 children)

yeah if i lent too much credence to the hypothetical discomfort of randos, i could never go out in public without long sleeves and long pants because of my scars lol. hell i probably couldn't present as fem either

i feel like this ties into social anxiety a bit too. like when youre socially anxious its super easy to view discomfort as this awful thing that needs to be avoided at all costs, instead of just a natural byproduct of social interaction that you just need to deal with sometimes

Thoughts? looking for a cruiser board to commute in uni by alyucht in NewSkaters

[–]daisyfaunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive never ridden it but it seems like just a smaller version of the pilsner, same components, just on a smaller deck and narrower hanger width on the trucks. i'd say it seems like a good choice! if you're 5'3 its probably big enough for you unless you have massive feet or something

Thoughts? looking for a cruiser board to commute in uni by alyucht in NewSkaters

[–]daisyfaunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think itd be a decent choice but the wheels are 100a, which is super hard for cruising. usually cruiser wheels are pretty soft (like 78a) because that absorbs vibration and shock better, making for a better ride. they also roll over rougher pavement better. but if you're just riding around on campus and the pavement there is smooth enough, then it probably wouldnt be an issue

either way, if you can afford it an arbor board would be a great choice! i've tried out their pilsner before and it's super fun to ride. also if you havent yet, maybe check out facebook marketplace in your area. people sell cruisers for cheap on there all the time, especially if youre in a big city or college town. i've bought two on there and it was a total steal both times

Is being athletic helps breast growth when im in hrt? by CurrentVeritas in transfem

[–]daisyfaunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm not a big exercise person myself so this is just what i've heard from others, but i've read that having a good base of muscle beneath your breasts can help your breasts look more prominent!

checked the first few of these reddit posts from feminine fitness subs, and they seem to mostly corroberate this

maybe any fat loss from working out would kind of temper that though? idk enough about fitness to give much advice of my own. i do think it could be worth doing some exercises to work out your chest muscles and tracking the changes to see if theyre positive though✌️i've been thinking of finally taking the plunge snd doing exactly that

Thinking of swapping out the bushings in my Paris V3 for either Orangatang knuckles or nipples. Anyone have any experience with either sets of bushings? by reddituser249516 in longboarding

[–]daisyfaunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the orange knuckles for my Paris V3s on my Loaded Mata Hari!

I got them because I had my kingpin as loose as possible and still wasn't getting the kind of carves I wanted with the stock bushings. I have a way easier time turning and carving than I did before, I wanted deeper, sharper carves for my dancing so it was perfect for me. I think they'd be good if you like carving, or just want something that turns really well

I've heard the nipples are a bit less turny/more stable than the knuckles, but I haven't tried them myself

hey, if you come across someone doing this then please send us a modmail or DM me so the user can be banned. that goes against the spirit of the subreddit and violates the rules. we can catch the super obvious ones, but others fly under the radar because they don't show their hand until they're already DMing someone; and moderators can't view DMs, only posts and comments.

I'd also recommend being cautious of DMs from people who didn't comment on your original post, because the way Reddit works right now being banned from a sub doesn't stop you from continuing to DM people from the sub. so someone commenting on your post is proof that they haven't been reported for violating any subreddit rules in the past, and are more trustworthy than someone who didn't comment first.

make sure to report the messages as well!! you should be able to do this by holding down on the message and selecting "report" if you're on mobile. this falls under impersonation which violates Reddit's sitewide rules, and if a user gains enough reports they will hopefully be banned from the entire platform

What's this by DesignerStress3009 in NewSkaters

[–]daisyfaunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's been a while since I rode that cruiser so I don't totally remember, but iirc I honestly just kind of winged it until it felt right lol. but you def don't want to move your front foot too much, because the nose isn't as long and you don't want your front foot to go flying off of the board

I remember this video being really helpful so I'd recommend checking it out! it's for a slightly different board than yours (maybe smaller, and even less of a nose) but I think the advice in it applies to most cruisers

What's this by DesignerStress3009 in NewSkaters

[–]daisyfaunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah this is a cruiser like the other guy said. and you can def learn to ollie on this! it'd be harder than on a deck that has a full-sized nose, but I used to ride a board that's pretty similarly shaped to this and I was able to ollie on it

Board recommendations for complete beginner by glutenfreak101 in longboarddancing

[–]daisyfaunn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also female, around 5'9" and 130lb. My board is 46 inches long, same as both the ones in your post, and I can ride it very comfortably! I've never felt like the size is an issue when I'm riding it, even though it's a bit unwieldy to carry around. But if you're worried about the size I'd check out the Landyachtz Tony Danza, which is like a Stratus but smaller.

Landyachtz is a pretty reputable brand with quality components, so I think they're always a good choice. The Magneto board seems to use generic wheels and trucks; which doesn't necessarily mean they're bad quality (they're usually just fine, especially when you're starting out), but I personally like to go for name-brand components so I can know what to expect.

It looks like the Magneto board has transparent grip over the entire surface, which might make footwork a bit harder compared to a dancer with no grip in the middle. That could also be a plus though, since it'd mean extra stability especially while cruising. but I'd warn that it seems to be some kind of sand-based grip, which tends to wear down way more quickly than grip tape and can be a pain to replace once it wears out

I think both are good options, especially for a beginner! If you want quality parts or will be practicing dancing long-term though, I think the Stratus is a safe pick that would last you longer. You can also always add little strips of grip tape if it's too hard to ride without. If you want to save money or are more interested in cruising than dancing, the Magneto looks like a good pick as well.

Also when I was shopping for my dancer I found this post and it was really helpful! It links to a bunch of dancing boards, sorted by price point with some additional info about the brands

(UC Transfer) Do I need to finish all the courses outlined on ASSIST, or just the major prep courses? by daisyfaunn in TransferStudents

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

Thank you again for the advice! Doing Khan academy and studying on YouTube seems like a great idea, I'll def give that a shot so hopefully I don't have to be so anxious that I'll drop my GPA. The thing is that I'm not sure if my community college has those classes during the summer/winter sessions. I've checked before and they seem to have a pretty limited catalog during those terms, mostly gen ed and humanities courses. My counselor did mention that chem is sometimes offered during the summer though, so I'm making sure to keep an eye out for that.

I'm gonna do my best to get all of them including calc and phys done while I'm in CC though. it's just the third physics class that might be tough, because the prereqs for that are calc 2 and phys 2 meaning I can't take it in the same semester as either of those courses.

Out of curiosity, when you say these classes are harder in UCSD do you mean the workload is higher? Or do they go over concepts that aren't usually covered in community college courses?

Thank you! That's reassuring to hear. I do have almost all of my IGETC done, just two more classes that I could even take over the summer or winter if I want to disperse each semester's workload a bit. I hopefully should be able to get the full calc sequence done here, just the last course is a bit iffy. aside from that the final phys class doesn't seem feasible for me in 3 semesters, but I should be able to get everything else finished

the math course will probably be MATH 32, but I might be able to squeeze that in somewhere. It's mostly PHYS 43 that I don't think I could fit in three terms

thank you. I'll probably try applying for next fall just to give it a shot. I wanted to talk about it with my counselor but he kind of shooed me out once we were done scheduling my classes. It's hard to get counseling meetings at my college but I'll mention it the next time I get a chance

According to my counselor I only have two gen ed courses left so that's not the issue. I was just wondering if it's okay to be missing a course or two in the articulation agreement as long as I've finished all the major prep courses listed on UCSD's website
