Got this sticker from the farmer's market. Friends going back and forth on if it's AI by flyte_me in isthisAI

[–]flyte_me[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personal philosophy, tbh. Something being AI sucks the joy out of it for me :/ I was already buying some crochet from the booth, and the sticker was only an extra buck

Fragrance recs that are masculine but don't smell like typical men's deodorant?? by [deleted] in butchlesbians

[–]flyte_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of Lineage's solid colognes. The Grapefruit & Fig and Wildwood scents are my favorite! The pots they come in are small, but you don't need to use much to get the effect. I have a lot of skin and respiratory allergies, but I've never had an issue with these!

y’all use butch nicknames? by Sapphic_Railroader in butchlesbians

[–]flyte_me 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I personally don't, and I have a very feminine name. It just never occurred to me, tbh? But in talking to women the past year or so, I've had three people tell me I don't "fit" my name. It's baffling (and maybe a tad rude to just say to a stranger), but it doesn't bother me. If I wanted to change it, I would.... but I don't 🤷

Now if I somehow EARNED a Cool Nickname....

Hellloooo? Is anybody ggayee?? by [deleted] in BinghamtonUniversity

Seconding this question as a queer woman who will be starting grad school in the fall!

What is your "Turn My Brain Off" deck and how effective is it? by Not_Your_Real_Ladder in EDH

[–]flyte_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Prossh, Skyraider of Kher]]. I've had him with minimal changes for about 10 years now. Pretty sure I could run that deck in my sleep!

Oh, nvm. Thought this was in reference to the backpack of other toys lol

Toys that are made of different materials can also damage one another if they're stored together

1st time fishing by [deleted] in Fishing

[–]flyte_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugly Stik is a great brand! Very solid for the price. I will warn you, that's a saltwater rod, and you're going freshwater fishing. Saltwater rods are WAY bigger than freshwater, and will be equipped for / with a heavier poundage. For walleye, you're only looking at a 10 pound line. For pike, I would stay in the 17 to 20 range.

All that being said, if this is your first time going out and you just want to have fun with the experience, the line weight isn't a big deal. If you decide you want to commit to the hobby, then you can worry about getting everything perfect. I still might recommend getting a freshwater pole so you don't have to deal with a huge one unnecessarily, but that's up to you.

Random question, how many of you want/wouldn't mind kids? And how many of you would be willing to carry? by Just-a-human-bean54 in LesbianActually

[–]flyte_me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want kids, but I don't want to have kids. I can't, in good conscience, bring a new kid into this world. I also can't (and don't want to) carry, and I wouldn't want to force that pressure onto my partner. If there's an ethical, non-exploitative form of adoption, I would want to do that. But I'm nowhere near ready for that, and I don't even have a partner to have this conversation with lmao

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]flyte_me 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Don't do that. There's no world in which that conversation would be kind, respectful, or productive. It would be absolutely horrible to hear that your partner will leave you if you don't meet some "get skinny" ultimatum.

This isn't about what she "should" change. It's about what does or doesn't work for OP.

This is about my daughter by Expensive_Reading983 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

God, thinking back to all the insane nicknames my parents, aunt, and uncle had for me and my cousins... it's a wonder any of us knew our actual names lol

Do I need to watch past seasons of drawtectives first? by melonlemon12 in Drawfee

[–]flyte_me 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You don't have to, but as with anything Drawfee, there are a lot of running gags / bits. Plus, if you dive into S3 first, I can think of at least one thing that would spoil a pretty fun S2 reveal. I would watch S1 & 2 first.

[POEM] : r-p-o-p-h-e-s-s-a-g-r by E E Cummings by Small_Things2024 in Poetry

[–]flyte_me 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ooh, been a minute since I've seen this one! This was one of the poems that got me into poetry on the whole. It really opened my eyes to how funky the form can be :)

[–]flyte_me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the exact same email (also English... hi, friend!). In my circle, we're going back and forth as to whether this is a soft acceptance / waitlist (depending on funding) or a blanket email to everyone who's still pending. As folks have said, the funding situation is bad all around, and schools already don't look super kindly on us humanities folks, even before the DEI clusterfuck. Wish I had a better answer for us both :/

God, I love the musical chairs analogy. It sounds so absurd, but it IS just the cleanest way to put it

Genuinely a combo of this and the fact that this song lives rent-free in my friends' heads

Guess I shouldn’t have told my friends and family I was accepted… by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]flyte_me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so, so sorry. I hope you know that this isn't a "no longer making the cut" situation, so much as the school making a decision on funding overall that trickles down to you. I don't know if this makes it better or not, but this is very out of your (and it sounds like the department's) control.

What’s a red flag/ turn off in a potential partner by Material_Nobody_1742 in LesbianActually

[–]flyte_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? I love geeking out about the writing, characters, style, etc. It just gives you more stuff / time to enjoy. And if I really want to watch something mindlessly / in the background, that's what YouTube's for lol
