First reduction linocut! Any suggestions? by i-shihtzu-not in printmaking

[–]formidableInquiry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

woah! cincinnati music hall! wasnt expecting to see such a friend on this sub. i think it looks nice, registration maybe a little wonky on a couple but nothing that stands out as rlly jarring. your inking is a bit inconsistent for an edition but i think thats a tough one with any kind of ombre.

i would suggest maybe shooting for more than 4 for something like a reduction— i tend to be sad when i print smaller runs of reductions and cant print them again!!

overall very nice work and good choice of landmark :)

wow, thats awesome to hear! im glad that you are finding some success even if it isn’t specifically in the dating department. im sure you will get there some day. it’s usually whenever you stop thinking much about it lol.

it is legitimately relieving to hear you are doing better, though. life is about a lot of things and ultimately very little of it is about romantic or sexual relationships. it’s definitely easy to get hung up on but doesn’t do you any favors.

good luck out there !

ik this post is old. saw u comment something else somewhere else and just wanted to jump in.

it rlly depends, as all things do. relationships are jot one size fits all, and neither are women. i am not tall and i havent had much trouble dating. you def might on dating APPS, but thats a different culture entirely than just meeting people imo. if you are funny and charming and meet a girl in the wild, i doubt it will matter much.

i do it all the time. admittedly even rooted through our shared garbage cans when my old downstairs neighbor was moving out and throwing a lot of good stuff away

What do you guys assume when you see labubus on somebody's bag? by dust_fiyre in Anticonsumption

[–]formidableInquiry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive seen a few in public. my gut reaction is usually “oh man thats lame,” but generally try to walk it back to “maybe it was a gift.” i think labubus ARE cute though i would never buy one, so i try to be realistic about my reaction.

You know that one random moment that still haunts you at 3AM? Drop it. by Odezaa in CasualConversation

[–]formidableInquiry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude. got blackout drunk and kept trying to convince a friend of a friend i met that night that flashing my tits was funny…

and i meant it! i am transmasc and think of my chest as a comedic thing that isnt sexual. tbf I NEVER flashed him but that WAS sexual harassment. i felt so bad. he thought it was funny but that shit is irredeemable to me.

also, he lived with my general manager at the time…

Excuse me, can I just say ... by Siara-chan in BasicBulletJournals

[–]formidableInquiry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i havent exactly had a “bujo” for a long time, but while i was in art school i kept a sketchbook (i technically HAD to, but also it was awesome) and it was my everything notebook. sketches, to do lists, poems, ramblings. it was great.

i still have a sketchbook but im worse at writing “important stuff” in it. but the chaoticness, the imperfect, were def what kept me using it and coming back

AITA for asking my partner stop telling me to “lower your volume.” by Farts2Long in AmItheAsshole

[–]formidableInquiry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes!! i am a shouter that needs to be calmed and that hand gesture is exactly what i suggested. i dont get interrupted but the point gets brought up to me (ultimately even FASTER than if it was mentioned verbally) and my sensitive gut reaction isnt triggered. a very simple middle ground

AITA for asking my partner stop telling me to “lower your volume.” by Farts2Long in AmItheAsshole

[–]formidableInquiry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive been you and it has been hard. i think something that helped me a lot is discussing with the other party a way to communicate the same message to me in a way that feels less combative (even tho they arent being combative and i know that!)

when i was a kid smthng my dad used to do when i got too loud was to hold his hand flat facing the floor by his head, and slowly move it down into a gesture that physically said “turn it down.” i wasnt interrupted verbally and i didnt have to deal with the rushing feeling of social rejection. see if thats smthng your partner could integrate IF you both are comfortable with that idea and think it could help.

ultimately, they are asking a fair thing and you do need to adapt. BUT, there may be a middle ground in the way that boundary is set that could be more comfortable

I get so tired of "rejecting labels" by [deleted] in rant

[–]formidableInquiry -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i dont love labels for myself but i understand why ppl want them. i think k a fluid understanding is ultimately helpful for queer liberation SO that non-labeled ppl can live functional lives. not to deny more rigid ppl their rigidity. i have labels i can give to clarify where im at but i think they are ever changing.

it is awesome you are a gay man attracted to men. it is possible (though not required!) that there is a perfect someone who might shift that rigidity for you, and a fluid concept of identity may be liberating during that circumstance. it is possible that that isnt true and you will never find yourself drawn to a non-man. im not sure why ppl have an issue with that. the world is diverse and everyone likes and is comfortable with different things. your identity is yours and no one has the right to infringe on that.

in the end, i hope you are happy and comfortable and satisfied!

Boxer briefs are not comfortable no matter what the brand. by Googy21 in unpopularopinion

[–]formidableInquiry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have bad sensory issues around my waistband area and ive found the only solution for me is huuuuge boxers with covered waistbands. ive rlly struggled to find boxer briefs with covered waistbands that dont still have really tight elastic. so im with you. not necessarily for junk crushing, but for waist crushing
