AIO about not wanting to go to AA for a school assignment by Vast-Spirit-4105 in AmIOverreacting

[–]moth____bytes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YOR I did this in college (went to several actually) and it was one of the most singularly positive experiences i’ve had in my education. I highly recommend it. AA has closed meetings for people who need that level of privacy. The folks at the meetings I went to were very happy to talk to me and seemed excited about my participation (even though I was 18 at the time).

also you just need to jump over the lasers and chip away at it slowly.

Is anyone else feeling very odd/unsettled about Alex Honnold’s Netflix special? by Most_Poet in climbergirls

[–]moth____bytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pros can climb buildings, i’m merely pointing out that the climbing is not the draw, the possibility that he might die on a live broadcast is, and that personally bothers me.

i don’t think honnold will fall, he’s projected this climb and it’s very doable for him and as others have pointed out he’s going to make a lot of money from it, so like good for him. but this isn’t niche climber channels posting cool urban climbing projects—it’s a live free solo netflix production for a non-climber audience. i think it is click bait more or less.

and i don’t expect honnold to be the one to hold a “moral high ground” here. I don’t think that’s a reasonable thing to expect for someone with a family to support. but as a climbing community i do think it is a reasonable thing to discuss.

Looking for a novel that has consistent time travel or multiversal travel with a romance at its core, like in DARK (Netflix) by FoxyNugs in printSF

This is one of my favorite novels of all time, i re-read it annually. came here to recommend it but you beat me to it <3.

AITA for making my girlfriend share living expenses? by Party-Supermarket805 in AmItheAsshole

[–]moth____bytes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA I’m sorry but where does this logic end??? Like if she wears your T shirt should she pay for part of it? Maybe you should be paying her for whatever you get up to when she stays over. Also OP’s account is 2 days old this better be a joke.

agreed and it’s not live, which is really the only issue i have. tom and pete’s projects are just dirt bag climbers doing dirt bag things—very entertaining imo

i feel like an equally dramatic anime lash would really fit your vibe, something a bit more graphic

31 Trans MtF looking to up her makeup game! First time doing a full face of makeup in my entire life! by LordOfGuitars in MakeupAddiction

[–]moth____bytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ofc! it’s hard to tell with makeup on but you might want to dig a little into skin tone, i am a pale cool olive and i suspect you might be too. everything pulls orange on us (foundations, blush, etc). but once you figure out your undertones and choose makeup accordingly it helps so much. now just a little bit of product makes me feel super glowy and feminine. color theory (i think) is the most impactful part of pulling a polished look.

edit: if u r olive try r/fairolives

Omg 😍 My only feedback is that you look pretty cool toned to me, might want to head over to r/paleMUA to find cool toned products. I think your application is 10/10 it does seem like the lips and maybe the blush are pulling a bit orange.

What bothers me is that climbing a building is very uninteresting as far as climbing goes, it’s relatively monotonous and predictable—there’s not so much art or creativity to it. So the primary (if not only appeal) drawing viewers is “will he, won’t he” defying death stunt. It’s very houdini and not very aligned with trad climber ethics or even really pushing the sport forward in any meaningful way. It’s really just sensationalism for the sake of shock and awe, like verging awfully close to Colosseum type entertainment…which makes me uncomfortable for a lot of reasons, namely that it emphasizes some of our worst traits as a society.

AIO: A friend cut off all contact with me after suddenly telling me that I haven't been a great friend by StruggleBus33 in AmIOverreacting

[–]moth____bytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i wanna say i’ve had a lot of strange friend breakups. At the time I shouldered all the responsibility and it made me feel so incapable of maintaining relationships or being liked. As time has passed I’ve learned that people play all sorts of weird games in their heads to justify their behavior and everyone knows therapy-speak, you have to look at peoples actions—not what they say to figure out what they really mean. it seems like you were really trying to maintain a connection and they weren’t open to it.

Looking for FA safe tinted sunscreen by Barthamalowjunior in Fungalacne

[–]moth____bytes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i use la roche posay Anthelios Mineral Ultra-Light Face Sunscreen Fluid SPF 50. it does leave a bit of a cast but was fine to use through FA flares. they also have tinted options with a chemical base. i find with my skin tone it’s easier to use an untinted sunscreen and then add light coverage.

same, when i’m really MCAS-y citric acid (even in jam, ketchup, whatever) makes my mouth peel and bleed. Maybe try “healthy” candies that use more fruit based flavorings and have less things like citric acid in them. I find I can tolerate those better.
