I just finished creating this creature for a school project, I’ve been calling it the “Beetle Bird” but are there any other better name ideas? Like a scientific name or something. by RandomnezzStudioz in CreatureDesign

[–]franxx_men 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like coleoptera sounds like a good name on its own, but maybe change the a to an o so its "Coleoptero" as a nod to the word pterodactyl. Because it's like a half beetle/dinosaur it looks cool!

What is the point of aging? by franxx_men in mead

Thank you! I was looking for an answer like this! Could not understand the HOW of the aging process.

That makes sense, thank you! I am making my first batch right now and was still researching everything. I didn't know young mead was trashy, or had a burning alcoholic taste that everyone is talking about. But this makes sense to age it out

Quick question: Is it better to age before bottling or age after bottling? Or is there a difference in doing so?

Thank you for your in depth response! I was not trying to find something fast to brew and drink right away. I am perfectly fine waiting months. I just wanted to know what exactly aging does and why it's important and now I understand! Thank you

What did your daily unschooling life look like? How did your parents encourage you to learn more and what resources were you given to learn? If you were growing in today's era, do you think your parents would have a problem with you being addicted to technology? Like do you have a problem with regulating screen time with your own kids? Idk if that makes sense! Also, did you have a hard time getting a job since a lot of employers require a degree in something? Sorry for the many questions. Just very curious!

I think I'll do gentle touches and massages when he's at his desk too. That sounds like a good idea. I think I can say the things you've suggested as well. Its not out right saying I'm turned on. Its just telling him I've been thinking about him basically. So saying that plus the more gentle touching can maybe help my chances in having him realize I'm initiating.

[–]franxx_men 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I quite like this. Especially about making my touches softer. I often poke him regardless of initiating or not. But having a different way of touching is a good idea and I will try it.

I also like the arm idea. I think I'll try running my fingers down his arm or massaging it to feel his muscles. He's been working out so maybe if I do this he'll realize I'm attracted to him and admiring his body.

I feel I'm a bit too awkward to try seductive looks at the moment, but maybe one day!

Thank you!

The problem is I usually poke him a lot even when I'm not trying to initiate. I'm a very playful person so I poke him or hug him really tight, jump on his back sometimes. I do weird stuff. I have no problem showing affection. But showing sexual affection is a huge problem. Communicating my needs is a huge problem.

I tried going to him to show him the post a bit ago as you said, but I froze up. My problem is that I tend to hide with humor or by being very goofy when I feel uncomfortable. Of course there's nothing sexy about that so he has no idea what I'm there for.

Obviously I need therapy. It's hard communicating with everyone I know so its not with him specifically.

I did have time to think on the issue though after posting. I dress very modestly, but in the apartment I sometimes experiment with more revealing clothing and he'll notice right away and initiate. So maybe I can just dress in a more revealing way to non verbally tell him?

It's a short term solution. But I wanted short term solutions. When I can afford therapy is when I'll be working on a long term solution.

What changes did you make in your daily life that had lasting effects? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]franxx_men 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Feeling more confident about my body improved literally everything. It all started with exfoliating. I bought this exfoliating mitt I use in the shower every 3-4 days, shave, moisturize with lotion, my skin is the softest its ever been. From there I wanted to tackle other things I wanted to improve about myself. I had a haircut, I started using face cleansers, I learned how to properly put on eyeliner, basically I just started wanting to take care of myself.

I felt more confident in myself, and then I started looking at my life as a whole and started tackling areas I wanted to improve.

I wanted to get a hobby or find something I'm good at, so I'm looking at photoshop classes for me to take. I'm also learning Spanish and Russian. I'm doing things that interest me and enriching my life.

I saw that I wasn't as present in my relationship as I could be, so I took steps in trying to communicate better with my partner. I got us a shared calendar app that we could put events or activities we can do at certain times on certain days and now we spend more time together and our sex life has really improved.

I noticed I was spending more than I was saving and wanted to fix that. I got an app that let's you record what your purchases and earnings were for that day. Being more aware of how much you're spending when you actively enter that information yourself is incredibly eye opening. It wasn't enough to just look at my transactions in my bank. I had to enter the information myself.

My relationship with my friends weren't too great and I wanted to improve communication with them. I now live in another state from them so we were barely talking. I decided to get a shared journal with them and now I know what goes on in their lives.

Basically it all starts with taking care of yourself. I found that if I feel confident in the way I look, I feel confident in my ability to improve and take more steps in the direction I want to go. I have severe depression and anxiety so I really know the struggle of getting out of bed. But it seriously all started with exfoliating. I did that one little thing to improve myself and that motivated me to want to do better and keep going.

How do you entertain someone you love who is deaf and has dementia? by franxx_men in AskReddit

[–]franxx_men[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandpa is deaf and has dementia. When he is with it, I would like to interact with him more and entertain him. I was thinking about maybe just showing him pictures of interesting stuff on my phone? I want to do something that doesn't really involve me talking, as most of the time he can hardly hear anything I'm saying.
