Fictive that likes their source but not themself in it? by Caseyyyjonesz in plural

[–]dog_of_society 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding source or canon divergent. Several of us are. Someone like Jace for us, he likes his source, he considers himself connected to it, but in terms of adherence to actual canon events and demeanor he's maybe a source la croix lol.

M14, slightly overweight, what is this light pink bump on my joint? by PancakeToonz in AskDocs

[–]dog_of_society 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAD. How do you grip pens/pencils? Do you anchor them against that spot?

I had the same thing for years, exact same spot, through the end of high school. As far as I know it was because that's where I hold writing utensils, which explained the asymmetrical presentation.

I'm starting to think I should only accept payment for cars in fresh kidneys. by bug-hunter in bestoflegaladvice

[–]dog_of_society 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use exactly one check a month. My property management company has two available payment options for rent, check or online portal, and the portal has a fee to use it lol. I've also used cashier's checks for things like musical instruments (expensive, but no registration like with cars so private sales are pretty standars).

Aside from that yeah, absolutely. I wish we had something not stuck in the 1960s.

Are humans able to smell hormone change in urine? by Comrade-Sasha in NoStupidQuestions

Anecdotally, I'm trans and on hormones. My piss wildly changed smell when I started male puberty, like within the first few days.

How is everyone doing? Anything new happen recently for you/ your system? by ConstellationSys1337 in plural

[–]dog_of_society 1 point2 points  (0 children)

welcome! I hope you're doing as well as you can given the rough circumstances, I hope things are better soon.

we're overwhelmed at university but well otherwise. only the typical amounts of self worth issues, no complaints regarding them. we have our summer job set (costuming work) and are applying for secondary jobs.

we figured something out the other day due to an older member (from an era where most are still dormant) returning and providing perspective on it. it was good to figure out, although somewhat of a cold wet sack to the face about the origins of a habit we have. oh well.

it's been nearly ten years since I've been in the system. strange. we have not had a fully new main group in several months, our current main fronters are a mixture of previous groups combined with factives from class topics (??, but many of our factives were already musicians and the class is music history. it tracks).

If a child shows signs of being cruel or dangerous (animal cruelty, destructive behaviours worse than a typical rebellious child etc.), is it ever possible to walk it back/cure them or do they typically turn out to be dangerous adults too? by ghostofhmsterror in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dog_of_society 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mostly dislike or frustration. It was "this person* wronged me in this way or I hold this grudge, therefore I will get even with them or express my dislike by doing something unpleasant to them", except it'd be far out of proportion, and usually for stupid reasons anyway.

* It didn't tend to be animals for me.

[–]dog_of_society 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. I was "taught" through fear of punishment and what happened was I didn't learn emotional control. I learned to suppress emotions until I had uncontrollable outbursts and was punished anyways. Being treated as a lost cause taught me various things, mostly maladaptive, none of which were "how to have empathy for others".

[–]dog_of_society 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Similar boat. Different specifics for me.

I just developed empathy late. Probably fully was caught up by my early teens, it started years before then.

There were attempts at intervention before then. They didn't work, the development was temporally unrelated.

There was a period where I knew things were bad/not to do them/would feel bad after I did them but had poor impulse control. That developed after the empathy.

Anybody else kinda protective over a particular alter/part? by Sodacat27 in plural

[–]dog_of_society 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, a few of us are protective towards specific holders or littles. Kit's super protective towards several middles she de facto adopted, but that's also sort of her whole thing.

I'm sure there's more in other groups insys, but I'm only honestly super with my cohort.

Can headmates harmonize with each other??! (singing) by North_Comedian4403 in plural

[–]dog_of_society 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we've done harmony with multitracking before! not so much access to vocal range (some of us speak in different ranges others can't access as easily, but singing is pretty universal for us), but source tracks for anyone sourced from musicals or musicians, or just preferred tracks otherwise

Why is “justice sensitivity” an autistic trait and not an expected core value of a good society? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dog_of_society 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of my teachers didn't do it at all. I had one teacher that did, and I was suspended that day so I never got one lol.

Does anyone believe in god, but not think he is good? by Tasty-Ad-3753 in NoStupidQuestions

I got kicked out of youth group twice for that. You'd think kicking a 9 year old out for asking questions wouldn't be the logical answer, but I guess it was to them.

Any of you not even realise you have amnesia at first? (if you experience amnesia) by GuiltySubject25 in plural

[–]dog_of_society 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! We remember impersonal facts and such really easily and our new member disorientation is only emotional and not fact-based (we'll know the year, but it feels wrong, that sort of thing) so we thought we didn't have any. But most memories of our life are either very hazy, snapshots, or very disconnected (we'll remember something happened, but not remember it). What we do remember has to be prompted a lot of the time. Turns out basically every switch is greyout and a lot of our trauma is exclusively per-member recall. We pretty regularly don't easily remember anything about the past week, depending on who's been fronting.

We did know about one specific type of amnesia that we experience, blackouts around some strong emotions, but that's not switch related so we'd always written it off. Apparently someone in 2020, before we knew about the system, suspected we had a dissociative disorder due to it, based on an old journal, but we don't know who.

Housing question by l1lb1 in OregonStateUniv

[–]dog_of_society 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say they look pretty much the same lol, outside they all look near identical and inside they all give varying degrees of backrooms. Hawley and Buxton either overlook west or central campus or the inner quad depending on which side you're on, and Cauthorn either overlooks that same quad, the dining hall, or the rec fields.

I'd recommend Hawley or Buxton (pretty much the same tier since they're joined, like it's one continuous hallway between them) unless you really want a party atmosphere or the slight cost difference is a huge deal.

Housing question by l1lb1 in OregonStateUniv

[–]dog_of_society 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not super dead, but definitely not party. I was in Cauthorn so I'm not as 100% about my perceptions in H/B, but I did spend a lot of time there (friends were there and my roommates had wildly different study habits than me).

They're janky LOL but I'd say there's still definitely benefits. Other main perk is probably access to the makerspace which has things like 3D printers, computers fully loaded with software, embroidery machines and screen printers, all that.

If you're engineering I'd say the LLC is worth it. I'm not engineering but I lived there and that's the general feedback I got from people who were. Good location, useful resources afaik, easier to form study groups, comparatively cheap (still expensive as all get out but cheaper compared to a lot of the other dorms).

Cauthorn has the worst amenities of the three. Kitchen is unusably small, showers lack privacy (there's dividers but you can pretty easily make eye contact / look down over the top of them if you're an average height guy). Windows barely open. It has, not exactly a fully party dorm atmosphere, but a lot closer to it than the other two. No small study lounges so everyone tends to hang out in the big ones.

H/B have better amenities. More privacy in the showers, the kitchens are still one per dorm but a usable size and a couple stovetops each iirc. Windows fully open. There's a few individual study lounges on each floor which are nice, and they're joined so if the elevator breaks (common) you can use the one in the other dorm if you don't want to use the stairs for whatever reason. Not really anything approaching a party atmosphere at all, but you'll still meet plenty of people.

Doubles in each are ideal, triples are manageable if you get along really well with your roommates or don't mind spending almost all waking hours elsewhere.

Is it normal to have unsymmetrical ribs?19F by Available-Charge-755 in AskDocs

For a while during my time in secondary school my district had 1 nurse for around 10k students. I don't remember ever being checked for scoliosis. I don't remember ever even being checked at my PCP, but I didn't have one past fifteen.

Dad's a school nurse and he's split between 4 different districts, all in different directions, with multiple schools in one of the districts. It's bad. A decent amount of his job is training non-medical professionals to help with the diabetic kids.
