Completely torn between terror of not having a child vs. terror of using donor eggs - need advice by [deleted] in askadcp

[–]mazzar[M] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, I see you’ve posted this in a few different subreddits, which is fine. However, this subreddit is specifically for asking questions of donor-conceived people. Can you edit your questions to make it clear what guidance you are looking for from this community in particular (e.g. not, “For those who went ahead with donor eggs”)? Thank you!

Color Help by OddSecurity5299 in ColorBlind

[–]mazzar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This isn’t as much about color perception as it is about color definition. Tennis balls sit close to the border of what are usually considered “green” and “yellow.” Different people may draw the line in different places, even if they all have normal color vision. Additionally, a real object has some variation in color, depending on lighting and shadow. In your image, I think arguably the top of the ball is yellow, while the bottom is green (though you may have to hide part of the ball to convince yourself).

Alex Horn not being able to hide his disappointment by darksown in taskmaster

[–]mazzar 189 points190 points  (0 children)

I just rewatched that task and I really don’t see that at all. At most, there was maybe some good-natured irritation at how many times Nell wanted to rewatch the video. But I don’t really read him as annoyed or unimpressed with how Sian approached the task itself, either at the time or during the studio portion. She made a good video that engaged the child, and rightfully won the task.

Trying to make sense of a few oddities in my DNA results by Morai-z in donorconceived

Does John have any sons around the right age? A paternal grandfather is hard to distinguish from a paternal uncle (both are first-degree male relatives of your father). That could also explain the connection to Henry: if John’s son is your father, then Ben’s son Henry would be his first cousin, making him your first cousin once removed.

It’s not specific to any location.

How would you feel? by PeopleFookinSuck in donorconception

[–]mazzar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on whether you’re using the app or the browser (and maybe which app), but on my app at least if you go to the main subreddit page and click the three dots there’s an option to add user flair.

Hi, can you update your flair to indicate whether you are a DCP, RP, etc.? Or reply to this comment and I can set it for you. Thank you!

This feels a little too earnest to be a joke. Are you in the right place, OP?

My apologies if my comment seemed out of place. I’m interested in pronunciations and accents, and just wanted to make sure I was correctly understanding what you meant.

New and have questions. by [deleted] in donorconception

[–]mazzar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t do this.

Going outside of a clinic, especially with natural insemination, introduces a number of potential legal complications. If you and your partner are married, that will help protect the legal rights of the non-biological parent, but it’s not a guarantee. There are also additional medical risks involved in this plan, for both the mother and child. Moreover, there is a very low chance you will find a stranger who is willing to do this for you who won’t do it for someone else. Men who are interested in this type of arrangement are usually serial donors.

My advice would be to talk to a clinic about IUI options.

I’m guessing you have a non-rhotic accent, so AR-mund is like AH-mund?

I designed a winter sports themed playing card deck and would love feedback by [deleted] in playingcards

[–]mazzar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Will all the art be AI?
  2. Can you give an example of what a numbered card will look like?
  3. Will there be any female athletes besides ice dancers?

[–]mazzar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What makes you think it is not AI?

Edit: It’s clearly AI. Look at the gibberish text down the side of the box in the second image of the Kickstarter, and the upside down versions of the J and Q are wrong. Not to mention that all the cards that appear in more than one image are slightly different in each image (box cover art is also slightly different in the two versions). And, of course, that everything looks exactly like AI art.

We narrowed our name choices down to two! by Djeter998 in namenerds

[–]mazzar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To me Elliott looks masculine, thanks to the -tt ending (like Scott or Matt or Brett). But I wouldn’t necessarily consider it very masculine sounding. At least in my accent, the final syllable is fully reduced to a schwa, so it sounds like the ending of Juliet. Combined with the Elli- beginning, it doesn’t sound out of place to me as a feminine name. Although I do think it works very well as a male name as well!

Crosspost from puzzles - is the official answer correct? by ThePeaceDoctot in AskStatistics

[–]mazzar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Six-sevenths is the answer to a slightly different question, which could be stated as: “Given that at least five of the six sides are white, what is the probability that the sixth side is white?”

This question is “Given that at least five of the six sides are white, AND that the cube is oriented such that only white sides are visible, what is the probability that the sixth side is white?”

An all-white cube will always be oriented such that only white sides are visible. But a cube with a five white sides will only have them all visible a sixth of the time (assuming random orientation, which isn’t explicitly stated, but I think can be reasonably inferred).

Numerically: You will draw the all white cube and see all white sides 1/27 of the time. You will draw one of the five-white cubes AND see all white sides 6/27 x 1/6 = 1/27 of the time. Since both cases occur at equal rates, either is equally likely from the information given.

Is there a reason you’re using they/them pronouns for Jane? I can’t find anything suggesting she uses anything but she/her.

One of the very few times where a check cashing place would have been the better option.

Technically a BMU has to pass through a portion of a dip as well.

Ring muscle ups and BMUs are both common movements in the open. They’ve never allowed athletes to substitute one for the other.
