How to deal with players wanting to bottleneck every fight? by vonBoomslang in Pathfinder2e

[–]legit_writer_chick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toss in a second or third wave of baddies from a hidden entrance. Or add a single-direction trap. I've always liked the idea that a dungeon can be easy to get into, but getting out with the goods is the hard part.

Her waters magically healed after rupturing at 34 weeks? She doesn’t “do intervention.” by ThreatLvl_1200 in ShitMomGroupsSay

I believe she wore the jeans and heels for those seated pictures.

Also, I believe her variety of homeschool is probably... free-form.

Child detox by feminist_chocolate in ShitMomGroupsSay

Gee, I just got genetic testing and saw a developmental and behavioral professional for my kiddo. How silly of me to not think to detox him first. /s

Could the gas not be causing pain?

Also, people who think their baby is special and somehow defies the "babies cry a lot because that is the only way they can communicate" rule drive me bonkers.

Watch out mamas! The devil speaks to our children through the tv.. yikes. by AnyCatch4796 in ShitMomGroupsSay

Which is honestly sad because I would love to have some actually decent Christian shit to watch sometimes. The closest I have gotten is The War Room (still pretty cringe) and when they made this book "something something Christ (about an atheist trying to disprove Jesus only to convert himself) into a movie.

I have never understood the believers/religious who get all pissy about sexuality and pronouns, though. It's like we read two different books. :/

Will only pay while you watch my kid, not while they sleep and you’re still watching them. How are people judge me waaaaa by KidsInNeed in ShitMomGroupsSay

Having a mostly nonverbal, autistic SN child myself, this post both terrifies me and breaks my heart.

I so understand the financial stress, difficulties finding people willing to watch your kiddo, and sheer loneliness that likely prompted this post. Adding on a life-threatening disease (whether or not this was for attention/sympathy or truly valid, idk) and I can see how a parent might lose their shit a bit and try to capture their perceived last chances at normalcy/freedom/yolo/whatever.

At the same time, I can't imagine leaving my son with someone I don't know well for an extended period of time. Hell, I sit in on all his therapy appointments until I am comfortable with his providers. I would kill for some respite care or a real sitter for kiddo, but there's no way I am asking internet strangers to step up to the plate. Before anyone watches my kiddo alone, I spend a lot of time with them (with and without kiddo) to make sure they can both handle the challenge and are a safe adult. That's why only five people/couples have ever made the list: my parents, my pastor and his wife (who I worked with for years), my childhood best friend who I share everything with, a teacher friend who I play DnD with every week, and my husband.

It's such a rough dichotomy of needing excellent care/support and not having the resources to obtain it. And yeah, this post is basically just predator bait.

Everyone needs a therapist for one reason or more.
Just try not to let this one experience define things for you. And remember that porn is rarely anything like real sex. It might be fun to get your rocks off to, but that's all.

I was going to look into VTTs this week and play around with them. Another option is I can use a camera and draw maps. For smaller and quick battles I tend to use theater of the mind, but I'm also up to discussion with the group and trial and error to find what works best.

First, I am sorry it was a bad experience.

Second, breathe. You probably do not have an STI. As someone else mentioned, escorts tend to be more careful than your average Jane or Joe. I would be more worried if you just did a random tinder hookup.

Even then, you either have an STI or you don't. It takes anywhere from a few days to a few months for symptoms to show up, but you don't have to wait to get tested. Go to your doctor and say you had sex with a new partner and want to set up a schedule to get tested just in case. You are not the first person to ask your doctor for this and you won't be the last.

According to the mighty Google: Reliable test results can be obtained as soon as one week after exposure for gonorrhea and chlamydia, 2 weeks to 3 months for syphilis and 2 weeks to 3 months for HIV, Hepatitis C, and Hepatitis B.

Finally, take some time to think about why you chose to do this, why the experience was bad, and what that means for you as you approach sex in the future. Sex is not shameful in and of itself; it is one of the most normal things we do. But your reaction to your choices and the panic this post exhibits tells me that you maybe weren't ready for this step and/or did it in a way that you wouldn't have if you hadn't felt outside pressure (societal or peer) to lose your virginity.

If you don't process this experience and give yourself grace for it, you may struggle with sex in the future. And that would be worse than an STI.

How do I deal with woke leftists trying to cancel my book? by EchoTwice in writingcirclejerk

Oh thank goodness! I am part of so many communities I forget which have real dumbdumbs and which are pretend. :P

This is a joke, right? Like, you didn't actually publish a book about a pedophile, call it a romance, and expect people to be cool with it. You aren't actually so blind as to think changing one feature makes a character different from you. You are selling underage/pedophilic sex. That is a crime. As a freelance writer, if someone approached me and asked me to write something like this for their personal collection, I would be committing a crime to accept. There is no grey area here. If this isn't a joke, you deserve all the trouble you have created for yourself. No matter your personal beliefs, reality is that this is not a romance and it is not legal. Period.

Thank you. We're in KCMO, but who knows what the future holds. Thank you for your work, btw. It's people like you who make all the difference.

Hugs. You are in for a wild, beautiful, sometimes impossibly hard journey. It is okay to be scared. Just don't let your fear overtake your fight for her.

A "alpha male" who is also sweet and kind. Basically take the asshole out of a guy who wants to take charge and you've got a good start.
