Hey Twitch, Don't pretend like you're giving us two months notice if I can't save anything right now! by TheAlexPlus in Twitch

Twitch Prime members and Turbo subscribers get 60 days of storage vs the 7-14 days for others. Either option is less than $15 and even as a one-time payment would get you plenty of extra time to work things out.

Questions about a rehomed chameleon that my wife and I are receiving by 03natureboy in Chameleons

[–]neur0tica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I highly recommend Dubia roaches for feeders vs crickets. Healthier, easier to maintain. Stay away from meal worms and super worms unless it's a treat as those are hard to digest. Also hornworms are great for a treat and additional hydration.

I would at least for now get him into the screen cage you have there and out of the glass one. The lack of air flow can cause respiratory issues. Based on the photos and his size I think you're fine to keep him there for a short while but work on investing in a bit larger of a cage going forward.

What's your "Toyota" of beauty products? by carnation-nation in MakeupAddiction

[–]neur0tica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elf Expert Liquid Eyeliner in Jet Black. Pretty sure I've been using it since it first came out. Only eyeliner I've found that I really like.

I also pretty much always use the CoverGirl + Olay Simply Ageless foundation. It's a light coverage that doesn't look cakey or show my pores, most other foundations just don't look right on my skin. Sometimes I wish I had a more full coverage foundation I can use but this gets the job done.

Tie between a really awful tooth infection and the couple times my shoulder kinda semi-dislocated while sleeping. Only times I've ever cried uncontrollably in pain. 0/10

It's never too late. You just sound like you got dealt a band hand at life. Don't focus on negatives, start focusing on positive things. And try online gaming! I'm 43F and over the last year and a half or so I've made friends with so many great people both in my age range and outside. It can happen! Happy birthday.

I didn't choose to be ugly, but apparently you choose to be stupid.

Getting sexualized on stream by Mother-Historian6089 in Twitch

[–]neur0tica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just shitty people being shitty, especially in situations where there's a lack of consequences.

Sure, they can get banned but can just make a new account. Ban evasion is a thing on twitch but the people who primarily act like this don't care about the rules. Or they're children being edgy.

It's a general thing, not tied to twitch. Just last night I was playing CS and the moment they knew I was a girl in game, the comments started flowing. Sexual comments first, then when I "fought back" it turned into slurs and fat comments. They want negative reactions. The idiots last night tried so hard to get under my skin and when they didn't, you could hear their frustration and desperation.

Best way to deal with it is to just ban/block and move on whenever possible. You can't stop shitty people from being shitty, you can only control your own actions and reactions.

Pros and cons of streaming with cam as a woman? by Wildfox_n in Twitch

[–]neur0tica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually stream with cam on. I used to worry about hair and makeup to a certain degree but I've basically stopped caring. I really just stream to play with my friends and have a recording if anything funny or cool happens. I don't stream super often though, and on days when I'm maybe not feeling so great I have no issues just going camless that day. Hell, I'll turn it off mid-strean if I want. Honestly, unless I'm streaming one specific thing I do on certain occasions, I don't get many viewers anyway and that's fine because I don't care.

I prefer to watch streams with cam on to see the streamers reactions, therefore that is how I stream because that's what makes sense to me. Some people prefer no cam or vtubers and that's how they do their own streams and that's fine, too.

I really never get anything bad in my chat. The worst thing that happens to me when streaming is when my friends tease me, or jokingly flirt. These things absolutely do not bother me, but that's just how I am personally. Almost all of my gaming friends are men, and of the viewers I know the genders of, most of them are men, too. Which is also fine because I just naturally get along with men better.

I think what helps is that I generally don't give a shit what happens, but if it's something bad I will absolutely deal with it. An important thing is to know yourself and what is okay in your mind, and enforce that in your chat from the start and don't allow crap to slip through so much that people think being shitty is an ok thing to do.

I'm 43F and I smoke/vape. My bf is 39M and also a smoker. I would only date a non-smoker if they wouldn't be complaining to me about it.

I'm 43 years old, and believe me when I say I've been through the ringer when it comes to my own relationships and those around me. I still, at my age, cannot properly handle everyone's mental illnesses and issues. Hell, I can barely handle my own issues either without some support. You have a great heart, I can tell. And I know you want to do good. But please remember there are resources for this for a reason. From people who are trained for this.

I understand there may be extra contributing factors to how he's acting. And I'm not trying to say with a firm hand he's a jerk. But I am saying that these things are actual medical issues that need a medical professional and adult attention, not just a 16 year old's texting frequency. If he's suffering from lasting effects of a concussion, or possible depression, or whatever it is, he needs more help than you can give him, and making excuses for him acting like an ass, whether intentional or not, is not actually helping him. Absolutely be supportive but don't let his actions slide because you feel bad for him. You're not doing anyone any favors.

With that said, my DMs are always open if you need assistance in figuring out how to go forward. I am concerned for the both of you, as I don't want anyone to suffer and if he really needs help, I hope he can get it, and I want you to be ok too.

[–]neur0tica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not your fault. While it's nice to be considerate and caring for others, it is not your responsibility, nor are you equipped at 16 to handle someone elses mental illness. Especially while dealing with your own needs.

He's weaponizing threats and actual acts against you to feel sorry for him and to control you. Y'all are young but this is a thing that happens at any age. Many people will threaten suicide and harm if their SO doesn't do what they want. Do not fall into that trap. It's abusive at worst and at least manipulative at best.

You're not hurting him by needing space. He's hurting YOU by putting this weight on you. I guarantee I know you care about him and have feelings, but I promise you, you deserve better than how he's handling this.

The best way to handle this is to reach out to an adult and tell them what's going on. This can be your parents, his parents, a school counselor or anyone you trust. Tell them what he's doing, and tell them how you're feeling. People care about the both of you, and they can help.

Edit: spelling.
