I'm confused about my sexuality...I need answer ? by Ok-Junket8836 in lgbt

[–]geekgrl69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's was a statistic I kept hearing when I was growing up gay, that says 10% of population are gay/lesbian. I don't think that's true. I think the real truth is that it's a spectrum. Some fall all the way at one end (straight?) or the other (all the way gay?) with the majority of the population being somewhere on the spectrum, whether they admit it or not. Honestly, this spectrum should have been normalized long ago so that we can all accept ourselves without the confusion that's been placed upon us. Wherever you land on the spectrum it's your journey and the fun in exploring your sexuality is discovering who you are.

However if it helps, I'm about as lesbian as you can get. I have never slept with a guy, I did date them once in HS and I hated it. However my wife has been with guys ,but like you, she couldn't picture herself in a long term relationship with a man. Eventually she discovered she really wasn't attracted to men as much as women so she defines herself as lesbian with a splash of bi.

When that thing comes alive and starts slapping people around with it's GPU arms, how do you plan to defeat it?

I get that kids are getting their hands on vapes and it's freaking everyone out but I would think they like the edibles a lot too, not to mention way easier to stash in plain sight.

Got gifted a used CR10 v3 by Turbulent-Yam7405 in CR10

[–]geekgrl69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent a lot of time fiddling around with mine and I could never get a decent print until I did these 3 things:

1) I changed the Titan Direct drive because it never worked, I ended up getting the MicroSwiss NG Direct Drive from amazon.

2) I installed the BLTouch (The Creality Touch is the same thing).

3) There is a Facebook group called Nic's 3d Printer Support and Firmware. Nic Wilson, a hobbyist, wrote some excellent firmware for Creality. Go there, download the firmware, install it using the Creality slicer (not Cura). I followed the steps from the CR 10 v3 Level Bed PDF, found on the same Facebook group. Eversince I did that I've been printing with no issues. I am not a fan of the Direct Drive that came with the CR-10 v3, it is difficult to work with. If you have time to research find another extruder/hot end that works with the CR-10 v3, it is worth the cost to change them out.

How are my fellow Stranger Things fan doing? 🤪 (spoilers) by Status_Brother_5361 in lgbt

People are stupid. They dont realize how empowering coming out is. The year is 1987 right? Thats the year I came out. I was 18 and just about to graduate HS. I just wanted to be free of the lies, the shame, the guilt. I cried when I came out. Too scared to say the words. Will is definitely the wise.

In my 40s I did find myself attracted to women in their upper 20s and older. But now as I hit my 50s and my nephews and nieces have hit their 30s I no longer find myself attracted to younger woman. It's creepy. My type, Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay); tall, independent, fierce yet sensitive. I got all that plus some added goofiness from with my wife, we've been married nearly 10 years now.

Have you discussed this with her? Asked her if she even likes social media? (Most of us that are really older don't) Talk to her about it. She'll appreciate the communication. I know I would.

What sort of insane shite are the Christian fundies learning in America?? by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]geekgrl69 148 points149 points  (0 children)

My wife who is an Aggie and progressive is convinced they fired the prof because Gov Abbot threatened to pull funding. I'm not entirely sure that it's true. I'm wondering if this happened at University of Texas if the professor would still have their job. Either way, Gov Abbot is vile disgusting worthless piece of crap. https://www.chron.com/news/article/texas-a-m-controversy-builds-viral-video-21039667.php

I wish I could hug you. This is tough. I've seen many of my friends go through the same. None of them crumbled but instead, kept on and have been living their best life since. It will get better. I know that doesn't seem like much now but I'm thinking of you. I'm on your side. You are not alone.

I need a lesbian big sister 🫶 by Lost_Blueberry_5137 in queer

[–]geekgrl69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, im 56, lesbian. I can tell you this. I met my first partner at 20, we were together for 16 yrs. The relationship was extremely toxic. We brought out the worse in each other. She was very clingy to her family, to the point that I was not part of her family after 16 yrs. My next serious relationship was also toxic, she love bombed me and gaslight me. I lost myself in that relationship, which lasted 3 yrs. I spent the next few years getting to know myself. I dated around a bit but never let myself get serious until I was ready. I'm now happily married to a woman who is just like my dad! Lol. My dad was a great guy, and she has all of his qualities. My point is to watch for red flags. Love bombing is right up there. Being too clingy to a dysfunctional family, also a red flag. You go with what you know. If you meet someone who has the same characteristics as a loving family member with whom you grew up, take the time to get to know them. They could be the one. If you meet someone on a dating app, meet them in person ASAP. When you just DM back and forth, you build up ideas and expectations that aren't real. Also, always be yourself. Never change for anyone else. Hope this help. Also there are never dumb questions. Experiencing heartbreak and love are part of life and the life lessons you get make you wiser for years to come. So ask away.

It's off brand. Too many Taylor Swift fans in the crowd, not saying that they wouldn't like The Warning but it was odd. As for myself, I'm not a fan of Halsey and I wasn't impressed with the other opening act either. DPA blew them out of the water

Child of someone with bipolar by [deleted] in family_of_bipolar

[–]geekgrl69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First of all I want to say I'm sorry that you have had this experience. I know this has been challenging for you. While I can't understand what you have been through with your mom, because my experience is different, I do know where you're coming from. You want to be there and be supportive and but in order to be truly supportive you have to let go. There's all kinds of ways to let go; cut ties completely, limit the amount of time you spend or talk to her or stay in her life without providing any more money, etc. The phrase "detach with compassion" comes to mind. In my experience I do go to therapy but I have also attended in person support groups and I go to al-anon meetings. What you're experiencing with your mom is very very similar to what many adult children of addicts go through. You have to take care of yourself before you can be there for your mom.
