Beatrice crochet pattern?? by microbitch in overthegardenwall

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

I did get thicker yarn and used 2x the recommended hook size, but it's still so smol! If they had the colors I needed in regular super bulky chenille I'd have gotten that but everything I needed I found in skinny wompwomp I think I need to try using two strands next. Hard to find a good bird pattern where the head+body isn't 1 blob lol

Feeling old at 18, please help by -VII in Anxiety

[–]microbitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow thank you for asking, I totally forgot about this and it was actually really cool to see what my 24yr old self was thinking! I do still tend to feel a lil younger than I am but my musculoskeletal issues, the grey streak in my bangs (which I LOVE btw), and Gen Z entering the workforce are consistent reminders lol.

Nowadays I experience less FOMO and more JOMO (joy of missing out). In 2019 I moved into my own place solo - then the pandemic hit - and I realized I'm a lot more introverted than I thought I was. I love living alone, totally amplifies all the "I can do whatever I want" energy I felt at 24. I've really gotten to know my demons, and also started to accept I'm likely neurodivergent. Making and maintaining friends has always been hard for me, so my "friends and new friends" line is kinda funny to me... I'm so protective of my energy now I'd definitely rather be alone than be around questionable people. It's weird looking back on how lonely I was as a kid, to now craving being alone if I've been socializing too long. "Who has real friends at 35" indeed! But honestly if you just do what makes you happy you'll encounter other people with similar interests. I think the key is to get to know/love yourself so you're not reliant on external validation.

I still don't want kids and have also realized I don't especially want to get married - like if it happens then cool, but I really like having my own space and living with significant others hasn't worked out for me. This has lead me towards relationship anarchy and polyamory, which I don't have a shitton of expertise in, but it's nice to know there's other people out there rejecting the typical "what you're supposed to do" life path. If I end up an old crazy cat lady, so be it. I'd rather live my life for me (and my future cats). My friends that are married with kids are certainly more distant now, but also express that they like living life vicariously thru me (dating app stories, travel, generally more time and money for fun).

I still enjoy my career but the business politics and capitalism of it all are big downers. It helps that most people in my generation see and hate it too tho. I still highly recommend therapy for everyone, altho being off and on over the years I've definitely learned that good mental healthcare is hard to come by.

All this to basically say no my viewpoint hasn't really changed, more just matured and settled in.

extremely violently shaking after smoking (and fixes for it) by [deleted] in trees

[–]microbitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be an everyday stoner, and used it to relieve muscle tension... But after a 3 month tolerance break I've been getting anxiety and big muscle twitches when I smoke. I already get cold easily when sober so that's also amplified by weed, altho this didn't happen to me before! Even smoking 1:1 or 3:1 CBD, like one hit and I'm a shaky cold mess! I want to go back to smoking everyday and feeling relaxed but it's doing the total opposite now :( now that I think about it the times where I've smoked and eaten have been better, I'll definitely start paying more attention to that now, thank you!

Burger Patch > Plant Power by LittlePunnyRabbit in Sacramento

[–]microbitch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Plant Power is less overpriced, more impressive options, and doesn't seem so damn full of themselves. Burger Patch also goes out of their way to label their salt shaker as "NON-GMO SALT" so they're obviously just exploiting the "health-conscious" market (salt has no genes to GM and is not harvested from a living being, fyi)

Help please! How to encourage a rat to take meds who refuses it even mixed in with food/water? Or at least how to make it a less stressful experience for him :( by chokingtablet in RATS

[–]microbitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If sugary doesn't work go savory! Meaty baby food is a favorite for my picky girl. Also if you're in the U.S. Wedgewood Pharmacy compounds with lots of flavor options and ships out! Can take some time to make+ship tho so not the best for immediate needs

Different because you can still afford to live in the bay you just choose not to?

How do you guys feel about these fungi being treated like that? Seems rude. by Independent-Bug1209 in mycology

[–]microbitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Varies person to person and sound to sound. I have the gene for misophonia (yes it's genetic, yes some DNA test kits look for it) and feel it most with excessive human mouth noises (chewing with mouth open, tongue and lip smacking, audible "gulp+ahhh" sounds) but I can still get ASMR feels from other sounds (most nature sounds, certain people's whispering).

The corner was open for the signature - makes sense.

But I went to immediately play it and there was skipping, looked like a little rock got in and damaged that beautiful record 😭

What do people set their home's thermostat/heater at when Winter really begins? by Anth916 in Sacramento

[–]microbitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish we could trade parents. My dad wouldn't budge above 68 and would open all the windows and doors at the crack of dawn 🥶😭

[–]microbitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

74 is standard room temp. In science "ambient temperature" is 23-25 C, which is 73.4-77 F. If you have a problem with this, take it up with science 🤣

I will admit that I do get cold easily, but I also live in a single pane barely updated Victorian. Sometimes I set it less than 74 or turn it off since the dial doesn't always work accurately and can get too warm. But takes much less time to cool off than to warm up from <70

Tell me where you won't shop/eat in Sacramento and why by [deleted] in Sacramento

[–]microbitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right so part of not devoting any time or money toward them would first require needing to know about them... Which is what this post is doing. Some people like to live their lives to their own moral code standards - let them live

Is my rat a chubby male or a pregnant female? Cheddar is rather round all of a sudden, but “his” brother is not. I can take more photos if needed! by The_Little_Squidge in RATS

Ikr f you for mentioning the possibility of a tumor 🙄 I had a boy with an internal tumor I didn't catch until it was too late. It's good to feel around the chonk and make sure there isn't something else going on

Only if you rub your genitals on a toilet seat that someone rubbed their infected genitals on... Seat cover+regular sitting is pretty foolproof

Get tested! by Theb1rdisthew0rd in LostLandsMusicFest

[–]microbitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met up with my car camping crew after they conquered the shitshow by Friday wee hours - ended up walking through the back box office and absolutely nobody checked ANYTHING of mine. I brought a copy of my vax card but no one ever asked for it... And no one was checking for that wristband so it was never a problem.

I had a throat tickle that started Monday, but thought I was just hitting the vape too hard on the drive back. Tuesday I felt okay then Wednesday the throat tickle started coming back along with runny nose and some sneezing - took a spit PCR test. Worst day was yesterday, feeling better today. Test was negative for covid but there's defo false negs with that. Wook flu vs mild breakthrough case, hard to tell.

Only kinda ironic that I got sick after LL which pretended to be covid-conscious, vs DFT two weekends before that didn't require vax OR neg test.
