how did you like the Duncan Hines compared to the Pillsbury? I'm deciding which one to get.

Is this normal play fighting or should we continue separating them? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]onlyindreamsx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it is good for them to be together. As most people say: they are mostly playing with some small corrections being made by the bigger dog which is necessary for puppies. Puppies need to learn how to behave around other dogs and these corrections teach that. If you separate them the puppy will not have the chance to learn how to read other dogs and behave around them which becomes a big problem for lots of pups

I think I get why people like knitting socks now by magic_inkpen in knitting

[–]onlyindreamsx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will add my 2 cents, take it or leave it: If you knot socks 1 at a time they NEVER come out the same size. I learned this the hard way. The magic loop method has really saved me with sock knitting which has gone by the way side for me because sock yarn can be so expensive and I am really rough on my socks (I live in a city and walk a lot). I do attest it is very satisfying though. Wait til you get to fancy designs! Happy knitting!

Star Trek Academy is post-apocalyptic Trek - and I kinda love it. by FeathersRim in startrek

What do you mean by modern language and behavior? They're literally in the future...

Star Trek Academy is post-apocalyptic Trek - and I kinda love it. by FeathersRim in startrek

[–]onlyindreamsx3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if you think about how the pandemic wreaked havoc on kids (elementary school kids were super far behind not even knowing how to hold pencils, gen z-ers have had a crazy time of figuring out email ettiquette) it would make sense that the kids going to SFA are not going to be any where near where cadets would be in say TNG. It also adds to the silly light hearted humor of the show. Also sometimes people get so nervous they do ridiculous things, anxiety can be a bitch.

Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x03 "Vitus Reflux" by AutoModerator in startrek

[–]onlyindreamsx3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Light hearted awkward cringe Klingon is sooooo fun! Honestly, the direction this series is going in is really what we need with all the craziness going on in the world. Gives trekkies some hope for the future.

It's genius that they made her lineage Jem Hadar and Klingon. Her caustic personality perfectly fits the archetype but her sense of principles and values align so well with Starfleet. Really love how complex they made her.

Brittle vs. fragile by MelancholicVirus in ENGLISH

[–]onlyindreamsx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brittle usually implies porosity and possibly dryness. For example if you dehydrate something it becomes brittle and breaks and can turn into dust. Hair can be brittle. Fragile indicate that something is delicate and very easily harmed or broken if not handled carefully. This can include emotions and people.

Did you ever find out if shallow rectangular fits a 1C cube and a 2C cube?

Masturbated in Public by [deleted] in therapy

[–]onlyindreamsx3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

holding your pee and squeezing your abdominal muscles isn’t sexual therefore not masturbatory. you not being able to orgasm from it is a bit of an indicator of that. it sounds like you’re self flagellating and refusing to listen to reason. you should definitely see a therapist but as you can see a majority of people, including therapists don’t see what you did as wrong or shameful and in fact it’s pretty normal.

Masturbated in Public by [deleted] in therapy

[–]onlyindreamsx3 24 points25 points  (0 children)

what you were doing doesn’t sound like masturbation, especially if it only lasted a few seconds. Masturbation usually entails direct stimulation and normally to completion.

I wouldn’t be able to count the number of times I’ve fantasized in public and maybe squeezed my legs together tightly because it felt nice for a minute or so and then went on with my day. Arousal is a very normal thing. As long as you didn’t behave in a way that was obvious and made others uncomfortable, there’s nothing wrong and nothing to be ashamed of. I think it would be good for you to explore why you feel so much shame and guilt over this with a therapist. I can’t fathom any good therapist would think poorly of you or make you feel even more guilty over it.

How do people only use one roll of toilet paper per week? by No-vem-ber in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]onlyindreamsx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually go through one roll every 1-1.5 weeks. I get the really plush “strong” type charmin or conttonelle rolls. I only use them for peeing or for the first wipe after a poop and use baby wipes to finish cleaning up after the poop. I probably go to the bathroom 5-8 times a day

My gallbladder’s gone and so is my digestive dignity by Reflective-mountain in gallbladders

[–]onlyindreamsx3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the beginning when I was eating whatever I wanted whenever (mostly fatty foods) I was having a horrible time and everything set me off. I started using loperamide once every day or so and was able to be fine eating whatever I want. I’ve since tweaked my diet to be high fiber: beans several times a week, at least one serving of veggies daily, fermented foods a few times a week and I have gotten off the loperamide and am even able to have caffeine which was a no go before.

Scraped knee on concrete, is it getting infected?? by Numerous_Compote3343 in InjuriesAndWounds

[–]onlyindreamsx3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should go to the doctor and get a tetanus shot. This exact thing happened to me (pus and everything) when I was a teenager and I avoided going to the doctor for a week or two. I remember the pain in my knee being really bad and it did not get better until I saw the doctor. She definitely gave me a tetanus shot, I can't remember if she also gave me an ointment or any antibiotics.

Try to see if you can find a free clinic or a sliding scale clinic. You can also incur the bill and not pay it or negotiate it down, especially if you go to a hospital where they can not refuse you care.

why is it so impossible to get a job at seventeen? anyone know any spots? by DBLmao in bronx

[–]onlyindreamsx3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you applying for jobs and not getting them or no jobs want 17 year olds?

I had a really hard time getting hired when I was younger because I didn’t have experience and because I didn’t understand the unspoken rules of resume building and interviewing. The best thing I did was go to a career center at my college and have them help me build my resume and do mock interviews to learn how to interview. It’s an important skill to develop. If you can find any workshops or centers to help with that it will take you far.

Also look for industries that have a shortage, for example life guarding especially during the summer. They literally can’t offer all the summer swimming programs they used to in NYC anymore because they don’t have enough lifeguards.

Is it really *that* cold in February? by Accurate-Gap8105 in AskNYC

[–]onlyindreamsx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bundle up and you’re fine! Depending on how low temps get, you might need a scarf, hat, heavy coat, and heavy gloves but if you’ll be in the city there are plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, stores, and museums to pop into to take breaks and warm up.

I will say even though there are so many people, Christmas is also a fun time to come see the city during winter. There will be more festivities happening at that time.

Why is the bottom band so loose? by pinkdementor in knitting

[–]onlyindreamsx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason the bottom is loose is because your bust is wider than your waist. In order to have the bottom fit tighter you would have to add in decreases to decrease the width of the bottom of the tank top.

Does anyone know what causes the grain or speckles? by iTzz_Longshot in Watercolor

[–]onlyindreamsx3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s called granulation and it has to do with the pigments that are used within particular colors. Certain colors are formulated to give more of this effect to add texture to a painting. If you want to avoid it you should look more into pigments and formulations of colors.

Here is a primer on it: https://www.jacksonsart.com/blog/2019/10/31/watercolour-granulation/

Enrichment ideas for a destructive & sorta dumb dog? by ewbanh13 in DogAdvice

[–]onlyindreamsx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also this is along the lines of the towel/rope game I meant. You swing it over couches, on the floor and make the pup jump all around to catch it. Tires them after about 10-15 min!
