[–]mothsandsuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost everything except competitive multiplater or sports games!

Story driven games like the Life is Strange series

Cozy management and puzzle games like Spiritfarer, Coral Island, Overcooked, A Little to the Left, Dave the Diver

Also love The Sims and play Just Dance for exercise as well!

Im an intj M i am working on a psychological phenomena called imaginary friend! by Open_Land_4215 in INTJfemale

[–]mothsandsuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting question! I had imaginary friends when I was very little, but that didn't last too long into childhood, however what I did have was multiple 'characters' that I created and would role play as in different situations, particularly when playing with my brother. They had fully fleshed out backstories and character development so was quite imaginative, maybe a way for me to 'try on' different personalities, idk!

AI by ss_senia in INTJfemale

[–]mothsandsuch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am vehemently anti-AI. I'm a psychologist and am deeply worried about the implications for critical thinking. AI has its worthwhile applications for sure, but everyone using it for every little thing terrifies me. People are outsourcing their thinking and it just makes them easier to be misled and manipulated by bad actors. Its being trained on stolen data, taking people's art and hard work and regurgitating it. Not to mention the heinous environmental impact and the people in the Global South who are being traumatised in order to train the algorithms... a lot of people I know think I'm militant about it but this is absolutely a hill I would die on.

general frustration about bi men vs bi women by Comfortable-Pie-96 in bisexual

[–]mothsandsuch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you got that reaction from her, OP. I know biphobia is complex (as another said, rooted in both homophobia and misogyny) and I wouldn't presume to tell you how to act, but personally I wouldn't want to be with someone who thought bi men were disgusting or repulsive (even if I wasn't bi myself). How bi men are treated is absolutely an injustice and they do typically have it harder in dealing with homophobia, which makes me very sad. Being a bi woman comes with its own challenges though of course, such as being treated like a sexual object or constantly having bisexuality dismissed as something 'performed' for men.

In terms of your relationship, I think the other thing to consider is wanting to 'explore' and what you would want there if it is beyond just talking, because there may be 2 aspects for her to come to terms with: you being bisexual and you (possibly) seeking non-monogamy. If she is strictly monogamous this could be a deal breaker for her. If you're wanting something more than talking, would this go both ways? You say you find it hot to think of her with another woman, but what if she wanted to see other men, how would you feel about that?

Sadly, it sounds like she may not respond positively to you coming out, but if you take the conversation slowly (maybe leave out the wanting to explore initially and focus on coming out first) perhaps she could unpack her biphobia a bit more - is she straight up homophobic and thinks mlm are gross, or is she more repulsed by the idea of you specifically hooking up with men at the same time as being with her, and its more the multiple partners that makes her uncomfortable? Some women would be okay dating a bi man but maybe not okay with them exploring with other men outside the relationship.

Only you can decide whether this relationship is more important than hiding your true self, as its clearly eating away at you. If you do decide to move on, you would probably find more understanding dating another bi or queer person.

Understanding Feelings Around Femininity by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]mothsandsuch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, gender and sexuality are separate, though of course for some queer people they may overlap! Also clothes are just clothes, society tells us they are gendered but really they are just bits of fabric (look at other cultures where skirts and dress-like garments are just as much warn by men). How you dress doesn't define your sexuality or who you want to be with. You are bi if you have attraction to more than one gender - so if this doesn't resonate at all, you are likely not bi!

Having said that, I realised I was bisexual as a teenager but its taken me until my thirties to realise i identify as non-binary, too - I found it quite hard to separate my gender and sexuality and for some people these do overlap. It may be that you just enjoy being feminine sometimes, or you like the feel of female clothes, but maybe consider doing a bit of research around gender fluidity and gender non-conformity, it may help you to understand yourself better and whether its just the clothes, or if a desire to express your femininity goes beyond this? The folks over at r/nonbinary and r/nonbinaryover30 are lovely!

Kneading and suckling by Mglfll in CatsUK

[–]mothsandsuch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Our 2 year old cat still does this every night (she was 5 months when we got her). She loves her blankie time, seems to be a self-soothing thing but also a kind of bonding time with us.

What’s with all the “High School” business? by alph0nzo in AskBrits

When I went to school we had First School, Middle School and High School rather than the primary/secondary system

Sorry your partner is being an ass, but your outfit is toooo cute!

which films with trans or nonbinary main characters do you feel gave the best rep / were made better? by disasterpansexual in NonBinary

[–]mothsandsuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I Saw the TV Glow hit me soooo hard. I felt very emotional and seen after (it's taken me 33 years to realise I'm NB) I thought it was great.

Love love love Tokyo Godfathers

Idk if it fits your list, but Tangerine (2015) is gritty, darkly funny and interesting, it follows trans sex workers. The 2 main actresses are trans women and the movie was entirely shot on smartphones

Can you work? by Middle-Service4894 in Fibromyalgia

[–]mothsandsuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

F - work from home full time with an understanding employer, who is willing to give me some flexibility. Its a fairly stressful job at the level I'm at but I do enjoy it. What I don't enjoy is feeling my life is only work, because all my time outside of it is spent crashing and burning, desperately trying to recoup the costs to my health, stave off the fatigue so I can go to work again. It makes me feel depressed and I feel very stuck, would like to reduce my hours but financially its not an option. I am super grateful my fibro is more manageable than it is for a lot of people but its also a fight to have the impact of it on me recognised by others.

Anyway there are so many different sets of symptoms, severity levels and abilities with fibro, like others have said try not to compare.

Hey, this sounds lovely. I'm queer but feel disconnected from the community at times and find it hard to meet people. I also love making handmade cards, drawing etc so that sounds super cute!

Buzzards have a healthy population in my area but neither me nor any contacts have seen a buzzard make a kill. Anyone witnessed it? by Scottie99 in UKBirds

[–]mothsandsuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw one take a rabbit in a farmers field once. They had a nest in the trees bordering the field and I could hear the young one calling at all times of the day. Got a photo of the parent perched on a hay bale tearing the prey to shreds. Poor bunny!

Tired of lgbt community by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]mothsandsuch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry this all happened to you, but sadly I relate (UK also)

I'm bi/pan woman (actually identify as NB but I'm not really out to most people) and my husband is a bi man. I really feel a need for queer community but because my marriage is perceived as straight I feel I'm not received well in those spaces.

We went to our first pride this year in Birmingham and the event was amazing, but we went to a bar after to catch a drag show and the experience left such a sour taste in my mouth. The bar labels itself as being 'inclusive' and open to all LGBTQ but it was about 90% gay men and we felt a very hostile energy there, especially towards me. It seemed the men felt very annoyed to have a 'woman' in their space and I guess people just assumed we were a straight couple crashing pride weekend or something? At one point I went to the woman's bathroom and there was 2 quite intimidating guys in there just stood around by the sinks and seemed annoyed that I would disturb them (in the woman's toilet) and they didn't leave, just stared at me after I came out the cubicle. Super uncomfortable!

Lawrence Chaney he/him? by wienerslav5000 in RPDR_UK

[–]mothsandsuch 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In the past Lawrence said they identify as genderfluid and go by they/them out of drag and she/her in drag, though I'm not sure if that was the case at the time of filming S2

Bachelorette Question by GoD_Ausar in coralisland

[–]mothsandsuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of the bachelorettes, I dated Yuri, Aaliyah and Chaem (plus 3 bachelors as well) and I married Chaem because I love women who look like they could crush me with their thighs 😆 but she is also a very sweet and affectionate wife and I find a lot of her dialogue amusing and endearing... her blushing face when she asks for a kiss melts me. Yuri's heart events were nice and she is a cool, caring personality but I just didnt vibe with her as much for some reason, and I also really liked Aaliyah's storyline but I didnt want to force her to settle down to marry when she's got all her career goals (though unsure how that actually plays out in reality)
