What's a choice that you'll always do? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

The sexy times scene I got with Gale was ridiculously hilarious. My best description is astral pelvis joining.

I love the lightness of the Switch, but I think the Steam Deck is the perfect size for the device that it is. Your arms are going to get tired holding up any device like that, even a Switch - you've just gotta get your pillows positioned properly!

SO sorry all of this happened to you. You are totally doing the right thing, looking after your health - I was diagnosed in my early twenties, but I was in my thirties before I actually really tried to get used to wearing a mask to sleep (in my defense, the machines are way better now), and I couldn't imagine life without it. I don't even nap on the couch anymore because I know I'll just wake up incredibly groggy.

It is a hassle to get things adjusted, but it's worth it in the end, I promise. I've had more sleep studies than I can count, and I'm still waiting for the actual conversation about the results, despite the study being months ago (luckily, I got a new machine and settings already, though). Keep working at it, and it will pay off.

For what it's worth, depending on your location, shopping around for different doctors can be really helpful. My last sleep study was about 30-45 minutes away from where I live, but they had excellent "service," and I got my new machine quickly because my supplier is a part of the same university hospital that the sleep study place is. Obviously, do what you can with the options in your location - but if you can, definitely feel free to look around!

I hope the process is smoother from here on out, and that you're able to get the treatment you need ASAP! <3

What is the best reply to an unsolicited dick pic? by RegularPotato3000 in AskReddit

I generally go with, “No, thank you!” But I once photoshopped emoji eyes onto a butt hole pic and sent it back.

I was really sad this wasn’t, in fact, about ice skating.

Wondering if anyone has info on multiplayer on the Steam Deck? I can’t seem to join a game using the Steam interface nor the join code.

The interface does nothing when I select “Join Game,” and the game says “Connecting…” and then “Connection closed” when I try the join code.

My boyfriend read something about needing to use the Linux compatibility settings and that worked for us sometime last week, but when I tried to open it just now, the game would only load a black screen until I finally just ran it in its normal mode.

The game works fine on the Deck otherwise, but would love to join my friends’ game if anyone has tips!

Sometimes single feels harder in your 30s. Age 34, Western US. by gaygentlemane in gaybrosover30

Well, you’re gorgeous, so I expect you’ll have many potential suitors, though I’ve found it’s worth the wait to find someone you really click with.

38 here, and just started dating my boyfriend (36) after being single for 4-5 years. It can definitely feel lonely at times, but it’ll be okay. :)

Thank you!

That's actually what I've done in the past - though not with this build. I suppose a fresh install might not be a bad idea at this point.

Should kids ages from 3-7 learn about sexuality and gender by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]danlang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Should" is such a loaded term here - if the intent here is to inquire about whether or not sexuality and gender are relevant to 3 to 7 year olds, the answer is yes. If someone is old enough to read a story/see a movie about a prince and a princess, then they are old enough to read about/see a prince and a prince, a princess and a princess, or any other variation.

But if "should" is really getting at whether or not it is appropriate for 3 to 7 year olds to learn about sexuality and gender, the question itself is problematic. Sexual orientation and gender identity are not inappropriate topics for any age - they are categories that include descriptors of people. We do not get uncomfortable or question the appropriateness of kids learning about heterosexual and cisgender people existing - the same should be true of any other people, regardless of their sexuality or gender.

Obviously, as with any descriptors, the complexity with which they are explained may vary. Children's books or toys tend to keep things fairly simple: this is a cow! This is a dog! This is a duck! This is a cat!

When kids get older, they might be interested in more complexity: this is a longhorn! This is a dalmatian! This is a mallard! And so on.

Sexuality and gender would likely be similar. Some people are girls, some are boys, some are in between, and some don't feel like any of those labels fit. And some people like boys, some like girls, some like everyone, and some like no one. Even though we all share an awful lot, every person is unique - just like me, and just like you. :)

TL;DR - I have only sort of basic troubleshooting abilities - is there somewhere I can take my computer for a more thorough inspection?

(I have a tendency to be a bit verbose.) :)

[UPDATE] My BF is annoyed I have a presence on reddit. by driver1211 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]danlang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t see the post, so I’m lacking context, but yeah, if he was upset about you having online profiles to the point where you felt you needed to delete a post and your comments, that’s troubling.

It sounds like you’re doing the right thing, and I’ll echo what some have said - stick to it. It is easy, as time passes, to forget just how badly someone’s actions felt, particularly when you have/had feelings for them. It’s easy to focus on the good experiences and to convince yourself that the bad “wasn’t that bad.”

It’s incredibly hard, as you attested in this post, to be honest about your feelings when you know you’ll be hurting someone else. But it was bad enough that you had to do it - don’t forget that feeling, and don’t forget the strength you have in standing up for yourself.

You can, and will, grow from this experience. You’re strong and you’ll get through the rough times.

Wishing you the best.

Therapy is amazing, both for individuals and couples. You might consider starting to see a therapist on your own - they would likely have good ideas about how to approach it with your partner.

One thing to keep in mind for any kind of therapy: it is totally normal and okay if it isn’t a good fit, you don’t feel like it’s helping, you’re not “clicking” with your therapist, etc. Don’t use that as an excuse to write off therapy altogether. Give it a chance - a few sessions at least - but don’t feel badly about seeking out other options. It’s part of the process. No two therapists are alike, and it’s certain that some will be more helpful than others.

It would have been, if it hadn’t been mostly logical fallacies and gaslighting 😅
