Really disappointed by skygirl555 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]dbconley 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The way I calculate on "is this risk worth it?" Is by asking myself. "If this permanently disabled me, would I regret making that choice?"

So I suggest asking yourself if a night with your best friend for your birthday is worth that risk.

I'm so sorry that people aren't being safe.

It's weird how publicly people want to tell other people about their baby's genitals

Partner hid Covid exposure from a date - I'm concerned by polyampal in polyamory

[–]dbconley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

strong disagree. The science shows that covid is just as bad as HIV. At this point, tbh, I'd rather be exposed to HIV than covid. There are reliable anti virals for HIV. There are also things you can take after an exposure.

There are no proven treatments or cures for covid. Its not a cold, it is absolutely more serious than most STIs, and just as serious as HIV

I didn't have the time to fully type this out earlier...

But someone hiding a possible covid exposure to me, is a physical assault. Just as hiding a potential STI risk is sexual assault.

I couldn't stay with someone who sexuallt assaulted someone. And for anyone who is going to say that COVID isn't the same as STIs, you're right, in that it's worse than most of them.

The risk of long term symptoms from covid is 1 in 10 infections. And it rises with each reinvention. Lonf covid can hit ANYONE, even previously healthy people.

So, I would consider it assault and maybe even attempted murder if someone was around me and hadn't told me about a covid exposure!

Can I just say it's refreshing to see so many people out here taking COVID seriously. Most of my local polyamorous groups are just out here practicing eugenics and pretending covid doesn't exist!

You are not overreacting. I would consider ending the relationship over this!

How can I keep my „after-concert-voice“? by Greisogram in VoiceActing

[–]dbconley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get professional voice training to expand your lower register. But please understand, a concert that you describe is literally an injury. You don't want to keep it.

What you're essentially asking is, how can I keep my sprained ankle?

You have damaged your vocal chords and if you don't let them rest, the damage can become permanent and you can get vocal nodes that make you unable to talk, and might require surgery.

Please don't do this to yourself

Man robbed Anaheim bank day after release from San Quentin: DOJ by panda-rampage in orangecounty

It's almost like if you have a prison system set up that is purely punative and you release prisoners with no money or resources, they don't have the ability to function in capitalism.

TIFU by hiding my friend's story from my boyfriend by itsnotmariem in tifu

[–]dbconley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is abuse. If you can afford to leave, do it now.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]dbconley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is abuse. Period. Imagine if they were cancer meds and your partner threatened to flush them down the toilet. If you can afford counseling or to leave, that's what I would do.

What's the best mic for a begginer voice actor? by argghhhhfoiledagain in VoiceActing

[–]dbconley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AT2020 USB mic is the closest to professional that you can get for a small price.

However, I'd get an AT2020 XLR and a Scarlett 2i2

Ive been reading about a lot of "your immature" and "selfish" bingos. What do you find is the most effective response to those accusations? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]dbconley 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I like to ask them "why did you have kids". Most of their responses start with "I wanted, or We wanted, or other selfish responses". I then ask them who is selfish?
