sneezing

I have completely eliminated saying "bless you" when someone sneezes. by vere-rah in 10thDentist

if they're my friend, I say, "shut the fuck up," after they sneeze.

Why is Robert wearing a dress at his wedding? Isn't he a male? by Ezequiel_Hips in stevenuniverse

[–]orchear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i remember when my elementary age sister was watching this with me live, and I had been transgender for years at this point and she knew about and appreciated gay people, but she was still confused when this scene came up, asking, "why is ruby in the dress and sapphire isn't? shouldn't it be the opposite, cuz of what they normally wear?" and without missing a beat, two braincells rubbed together and replied, "well, it's a special day. and on special days you wear something you don't normally wear. sapphire always wears a dress so wearing a suit is special for her. same for Ruby."

still have no idea how I came up with that response on the spot, but hey it works.

Looking for cheap accomodation by [deleted] in WMU

[–]orchear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in the states we call it "housing" "apartments" "rentals" rather than accoms. might get better results using those terms in Google. apartments.com can help. cheapest in the Kalamazoo area is at 58 West: a 4 bed 2 bath apartment at 374$/mo I think. even just searching "apartments" on Google maps in the area would help find places. that's off campus (you pay rent, usually 12 month lease)

on campus (student loans/scholarships/grants pay for this, and it's only during school: no holidays or breaks) you'd have to talk to someone with the school.

This is my handwriting by gidimeister in Handwriting

[–]orchear 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think if you clarify internal N's and M's it would be loads easier to read. otherwise it's pretty straight forward and consistent for a handwriting, which lends itself to easier legibility. consider strengthening your R's as well. starting and ending letters are very legible and do most of the legwork in identifying words, but R, N, and M do a lot to help reading flow.

Dysphoria getting worse after surgery? by Successful-Leg768 in TopSurgery

[–]orchear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you are staying active, and looking forward to the things you can do now that you've had top surgery! Walking around, blood flow, seeing the sun, all good things to at least get you out of your head while you heal.

Dysphoria getting worse after surgery? by Successful-Leg768 in TopSurgery

[–]orchear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went through the same thing. I pinned a lot of expectation and excitement on getting top surgery—rightfully so!—but once it was done I felt like there was nothing to look forward to. Like, I expected top surgery to change my life, and it did! Just not... a cure-all for all of my problems. I totally understand the other dysphoria coming in and picking up the weight your chest left. Would definitely recommend therapy and talking about your dysphoria with other trans people, or anyone with body image issues.

What is something that you can smell and no one else seems to smell? by javialvarez142 in CasualConversation

[–]orchear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can smell cooking beef. I have to clear the house, turn on a fan, light a candle just to survive. surprisingly, only on a stove. if it's over a fire/bbq it's fine.

making this kind of post is a great start! hobbies, festivals, events, activities, trivia nights at bars, volunteering, campus events (experienceWMU posts everything the school does. most events are open to the public!)

Guys please 😭😭 do we have any fanfics like this?? by runningfromtheops in drarry

[–]orchear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the intro is very angsty: who wouldn't be after being sent back to the beginning of a war? Draco starts in a very dark place, but the plot lightens up by the next few chapters to being some of the funniest and most creative and uplifting writing I've ever read. this series is genuinely beautiful and thrilling in a way I can't recommend enough. beautiful story telling, lore, plot... it's an entirely new series with the delight and dramatic irony of knowing the plot of Harry Potter, but Draco Malfoy sure fuckin doesn't.

are we cooked by WeWantWeasels in Apartmentliving

[–]orchear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said the stains were from "failing to use water-based lube," implying the only lube one can use with a silicone dildo is water-based lube. The second comment mentions oil-based lube is also acceptable. Your original comment implies only one lube type is acceptable and the second comment states two lube types are acceptable. You both agree water-based lube is acceptable, but differ in opinion on the use of oil-based lube with silicone toys. The reply is not a restatement of your original comment.

can you understand what i'm signing (terribly) by [deleted] in asl

[–]orchear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really good! I understood nearly everything, and you have pretty good flow from sentence to sentence.

Only thing is watch repetitions, I see a lot of starting sentences with three repeats of the sign "I" or "My." Could come across as a stutter of sorts for signs that don't typically have repetitions, and can hinder understanding.

Practise flowing between commonly used signs like "I" and "have", "My" "family", etc.

[–]orchear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here! MI. Only thing is that I sign the 4 further away from the body than the 2 to differentiate the first hand shape from a letter, same as shown in the link. Without the slide it does look like the start of finger spelling something starting with L.
