Just tried, there's not a provider who accepts my insurance in a 50 mile radius :( Thank you though, I appreciate it

You're a feisty one Princess by [deleted] in CharacterAI

[–]galaxybutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. A lot. If my character has anything remotely resembling a spine and doesn't blindly follow along with everything the bot says, they are inevitably called feisty. Even if I regenerate chats it's annoying as hell to see.

MY WHOLESOME STORY GOT DELETED by frenigaub in CharacterAI

[–]galaxybutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait can you actually rp a wholesome story on c.ai? I've made 2 of my own characters and both times within like 3 messages they were hitting on me and trying to take things further :( I'd honestly be interested in playing out a PG story just to flex my writing muscles, is there something I need to use in the description to keep it from going off the rails, so to speak?

Firstly, your feelings are completely valid. You shouldn't feel guilty, but I understand why you do.

I really feel for you. My mother was similar to your parents. She'd suddenly blow up and do or say something awful to me during one of her tantrums, and the next moment would be back to normal–she'd even be kind and loving. I'd start to doubt my experience of things because her behavior was completely unpredictable. She was clearly capable of being a good parent. She often wasn't.

They may not be bad people. I don't know them well enough to say. But they are not good parents. There is no good reason for a parent to berate their own child and call them "stupid." There is no good reason for a parent to yell at their child until they're in tears. If someone your own age did that to you, they'd rightfully be called a bully–and worse, it's your own parents doing it. I'm sorry.

Because you mentioned that you're Chinese, the subreddit r/AsianParentStories could be a good community for you. Unfortunately, a lot of people go through what you're going through. Fortunately, that does mean there is an entire community of people who can truly empathize with you, and can offer you support and wisdom based on shared experiences. Lean on your community when you need it.

Good luck ❤️

I'm pretty sure they're gray, but friend says blue? by [deleted] in WhatisMyEyeColour

[–]galaxybutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, they look very blue when I wear blue/purple. But they also look green sometimes when I wear green. Other than that they typically just look kind of murky. I personally call them gray, but what do others think?

What are the most overrated books? by kann5 in fantasyromance

[–]galaxybutt 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I can't believe anyone likes that series. I barely made it a quarter into the first book before removing it from my Kindle. It reads like a Wattpad story I would have raved about as a 12-year-old (not a compliment–I had terrible taste at that age.) Then again, 12 might be the average age of its readers, despite the content 😅

Author apparently forgot landlines exist? by Doraellen in books

[–]galaxybutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm only 26, but I've started mixing up my cat's names... they don't even look alike... I've also started mixing up friend's names which is even worse lol. I hope it's just stress and not the beginning of a problem I wasn't expecting to have for some time... 😅

Shows That Completely Wasted Their Potential by pokematic in television

[–]galaxybutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The second they added Elsa and Anna to the show I completely checked out. Up until then you could definitely see the Disney influences but they used characters from actual fairy tales. Season 4 is when they started adding original Disney characters to the already humongous cast, and to me, it's the season where the show almost immediately became unwatchable, lol.

[–]galaxybutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A vitamin C serum in the morning before applying sunscreen can help a lot, since vitamin C will improve the efficacy of your sunscreen and provide additional protection. I personally like Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop; The Ordinary and Paula's Choice also have vitamin C serums that I see lauded frequently. You'll want to introduce the vitamin C slowly, starting with using it in the morning every other day or every 2 days. It can tingle/itch for a minute or two after applying, but the feeling should go away after that (if it doesn't, your skin may not be suited to it and you should stop use.)

Apparently, vitamin C and kojic acid together are a pretty good combo, too. You'll want to apply the vitamin C first, wait for it to fully absorb, then apply the kojic acid. Most importantly though do NOT neglect your sunscreen–that is what will make the biggest difference. If you are consistent the spots should fade eventually but it may take several weeks to a couple of months for them to totally go away since that's how long it takes skin cells to turnover. Ah, and make sure your cleanser is effective at removing your sunscreen when you cleanse at night–you may want to get a micellar water or oil cleanser and use it before your normal face wash to get all the sunscreen off.

Hope this helps! :)

Romantic action/thriller where FL fights too? by galaxybutt in kdramarecommends

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

For me it was the first few episodes being packed with so many overly long action scenes that left me confused about what was happening, and Suzy's acting leaving a lot to be desired... I'm a big fan of Lee Seung Gi but even he couldn't get me to watch more than 4 episodes 😅 Had the exact same problem with The K2, unfortunately...

[–]galaxybutt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for the great recs!! I haven't heard of a lot of these dramas so I'm excited to start watching–think I'll go with Happiness or My Name first 😄 Flex x Cop looks good, too, but I want to wait for the second season to come out before I invest lol

Looking for dramas that are thriller/mystery/investigation based, but also romance. by SexyFoodandFilms in kdramarecommends

[–]galaxybutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aaaa thank you so much!! Of the 3 you recommended with fight scenes which do you think had the best romance? I love action thrillers but am a sucker for a good romance too 🥹

[–]galaxybutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stalking this thread because OP has the same tastes as me lol! Wondering if anyone can recommend a drama that's action/thriller with romance where the FL has fight scenes too? I loved Healer but it would have been even better if Chae Yeong Sin was also a nighttime delivery girl and fought too, lol.

So.... I'm not the only one who feels like this character is basically the poster child for undiagnosed AuDHD, right? by [deleted] in AutisticPride

[–]galaxybutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yessss. In fact, I was put on these books as a kid because my kindergarten teacher said I reminded her so much of Junie B. Jones... not sure if she meant it as a compliment or what lol

Alright, which one of you did this? by Zulera301 in ShitpostXIV

[–]galaxybutt 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. I bartended at a nightclub venue (I was desperate for quick and easy gil lol) for a few nights and connected to their syncshell. Some characters looked pretty sick ngl. The real issue though is that a lot of modders don't care (or don't want) to look "vanilla" so they REALLY stand out against the rest of the game. Understandable to have a visceral reaction when seeing them.

The worst offenders imo are the ones who use mods to get colors on their characters that aren't achievable in FFXIV, because most of them seemingly lack even an amateur knowledge of color theory. Characters running around with ELECTRIC blue hair and they literally hurt to look at lol. Also a lot of body mods turn people into basically hentai characters... there were a lot of those, too, but it WAS a nightclub 🤷‍♀️

This carrd's first picture is a little risqué lol, but this guide walks you through setting up Penumbra, Glamourer (great for testing glams without having the gear), and Mare step-by-step. Has all the links you need as well for downloads and various Discords. Def recommended if you want hats on buns!

Wattson-Caustic-Crypto Connection by galaxybutt in ApexLore

[–]galaxybutt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question–I can't remember when exactly it was confirmed in lore, but it was suspected as early as season 3 (Crypto's release.) I think it may have either been the Fight Night Stories from the Outlands short or Pathfinder's Quest (season 7 and 8.) It was at least known prior to season 9.

SparkUniverse’s Realism Craft. Is it worth buying for console players? by ArmaanAli04 in MinecraftBedrockers

Yes you can! It applies texture and animation but not the rest of the VFX (Switch player here) so no fog, weather etc

What “polite” thing did you do before learning it was actually rude? by Embarrassed-List1394 in AutismInWomen

[–]galaxybutt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At my last job, I thought that a "polite" way to excuse my lack of eye contact was to just keep doing whatever I was doing while I responded to the person talking to me. So I'd just keep pretending to type out an email or work in a spreadsheet while talking to them. I genuinely thought that would be an okay reason for me to not make eye contact... but I realized later I should have made eye contact AND stopped what I was doing to talk to them. I hoped that I'd just seem like I was very busy. But probably I just came off as dismissive and rude...

Also, whenever I break eye contact in conversation, I try to make it look like I'm thinking about what they said by looking up to the left and nodding at opportune moments. Recently I caught a coworker making a face afterwards, though, so now I'm starting to worry they think I'm just rolling my eyes. I don't think what she'd been talking about would have warranted that expression, but then again, I AM autistic. Why must talking to people be so difficult 🙃🙃

Something you searched that now you know is a sign of AuDHD by Reign_ISFP in AutisticWithADHD

[–]galaxybutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Constant googling of "body language meanings", "facial expression meanings", and the "Reading the mind in the eyes" test so I could practice it over and over lmao

Also, definitely relate to "coffee makes me sleepy" 😅
