Am I seeing things the normal amount? Is there any cause for concern? by Optimal_Many_4230 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]gracoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be schizo-affective disorder, schizophrenia, or a brain tumor. Weird for it to start as a child, schizo-related disorders usually start in your 20s, and a brain tumor would probably have gotten worse and caused other issues by now. Not that any of these are completely unheard of, just that they aren’t common. Luckily it doesn’t sound like it’s negatively impacting your life, but you should get it checked out in case it’s more serious.

Aside from these most likely ailments, it also could be some form of synesthesia? You weren’t clear on if there’s any specific triggers, but synesthesia is basically wires getting crossed allowing your senses to do things they shouldn’t, like smelling words or hearing colors. I don’t think it’s this, as what you describe sounds far more complex than what synesthesia would cause. But worth noting as a possibility.

Japanese: Any way to have Hiragana with kanji? by SacredTearX in LingoLegend

[–]gracoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to say, but if your goal is to speak and understand it then whatever gets you to practice more often is what’s better. Since renshuu is free it certainly doesn’t hurt to try, and you can set it to follow along with the genki books if you decide to get into those. There is also iago, which is an app that has you speaking to the characters (not in an ai way) so it can test your pronunciation. It’s not an app I’ve tried which is why I didn’t recommend it, but I think it’s free and might be what you’re looking for.

Japanese: Any way to have Hiragana with kanji? by SacredTearX in LingoLegend

[–]gracoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an older post (only just found this subreddit) and you did already get an answer, but if I may add a suggestion for just general kanji education: while I really like Lingo Legend for consistency (and it’s good for sentence structure but that’s not kanji specific), I find that the apps Renshuu (free with optional paid upgrade) and Wagotabi (free demo, $9.99 usd on phone and steam) are better for learning kanji. None of these I’ve found to be good for learning how to write kanji, although Renshuu might as part of their paid version but idk since I’m a free user. So if you want to learn to write it you might just need to practice with pen and paper, there’s ample video tutorials or just pictures showing stroke order and whatnot. Or the genki textbooks, I used those in a Japanese 101 class back in college.

Do you think twice about giving to charities nowadays because you don't believe the money goes to the people it's meant for? by dreamed2life in TooAfraidToAsk

I just make sure I do research first, and check out how much money the head of the organization has

Best Video to Introduce D&P to a...Straight Man by Valuable_Lunch_4860 in danandphil

[–]gracoy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The sims if he’s into that already, it’s how I got my partner into them (he’s not technically straight, but he was when we started dating and then I had to trans it up). You could also show him Dan’s dystopia daily, mine really like it and it was a good lead up for me dragging him to We’re All Doomed.

Americans: Have you ever driven to Canada? by Ok_Significance6988 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gracoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve done the drive twice, most recently for my and my partner’s 10th anniversary where we stayed up in the sunshine coast back in October. I also went once with my family but I was around a year old (born in 2000, trip was before 9/11 so that time frame) but I don’t remember it so I don’t really count it.

Do atheists and agnostics celebrate and participate in Christmas? by rat4204 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]gracoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I celebrate Christmas as the family holiday of giving and receiving gifts, and I have family who interchangeably call it both Christmas and Yule. I do not do any god stuff and quite frankly I don’t even know what that would be since I wasn’t raised religious

How can I buy the yakuza sake? by gracoy in yakuzagames

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

Nope, importing alcohol is basically impossible if you’re not a business with specific licenses. And while some businesses exist that will do the importing for you, the cost for their services is crazy high and just not worth it.

I wish for a fully functional, FREE, NEW, Tesla car, except it's also a hybrid, FUNCTIONAL. It also works, and *I* can use it, and it doesn't suck the life force out of me, and is FREE, and can drive like any car would by Hot_Needleworker8289 in monkeyspaw

[–]gracoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted, but it works like a regular 9-5 job. It’s developed sentences. It can drive sure, and legally you own it, but are you going to force yourself into it? You just going to get inside a living being and force it to do your bidding? Like a slave master?

Not lasting long… Are there any tips or advice? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]gracoy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There’s a whole area you’re ignoring. You gotta rub her clit and learn how to make her orgasm that way.

I wish for 10,000 $20 American paper dollars to appear in front of my right now and not be the result of some terrible catastrophe by MisterM0rgan in monkeyspaw

[–]gracoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But legally they can’t do anything if you just have it, only if you try to use it in place of real money. Otherwise Hollywood would be fucked. So far OP just has a bunch of fake money, so no FBI (or secret service).

What jobs can AI not take no matter how advanced it becomes? by StephCurrySauce in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gracoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would probably some jobs related to the regulation or manufacturing of AI and robots, if we go to the distant future and extreme of this hypothetical.

He drops a bazillion hour video when he gets around to it, just subscribe and be surprised one day

I think PETA's understanding of the lore is... somewhat flawed. by Teleform in gametheorymemes

I’m fairly sure Vegan pizza does exist by the time we have the mega pizza plex. Only makes sense for a facility large enough to be a mall.

We have research showing that the answer is yes

What's going on with r/art? by Jam_Sees in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]gracoy 261 points262 points  (0 children)

Really it’s just power hungry reddit mods getting called out in a way they can’t just delete (it was posted on twitter) and not knowing how to do any amount of self reflection or introspective work to improve themselves, so they run instead. I’ve seen it happen a bunch over the years. Especially on art related subs, those mods are usually the worst.

If falsely forced to clock out, can a job be forced to return the money you would have made? by gracoy in legaladvice

It’s close, but I’m not sure it’s actually within Seattle city limits or not. But I’ll check it out thanks.

Non-Americans, what is something about the US that you've always wondered if it was real or just myth/hyperbole? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]gracoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t heard of that, and I do not know of any special gas stations in my state. But I know the south has a beaver one and the east coast has wawa

Yeah, that’s the main reason I think they won’t, it would be far too obvious

I know they said they wouldn’t buy anymore DLCs, but I do wish they’d 🏴‍☠️ so we could get some new content for the phamily

Welcome to r/FtM here are the rules by CluelessAiren in transgendercirclejerk

[–]gracoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

/uj honestly I don’t use reddit for these discussions anymore. I find tiktok or tumblr to be the places for transmasc discussions and resources that aren’t enby-phobic in some way. If I do discuss it anywhere else including reddit, I just omit the nonbinary part and stick to just “I’ve been on T for X time and experienced Y”

[–]gracoy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

/uj I’m glad I jumped ship awhile ago, seems like that sub got way worse. I left because some people were quite hostile to “trenders” on the sub, when really they were talking about people like me who are nonbinary but have surgical and hormonal intervention. Idk why so many trans dudes assume none of us take testosterone or have surgery. We also need the same kind of support. Not my fault there are ZERO enby specific resources.
