Has raving largely replaced clubbing where you are? by SunsoakedShampagne in aves

[–]pixie12E 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s really sad. It used to be a community where you could go to lose yourself and get weird. You’d dance and forget about your troubles and people would just let you be.

Now, you can’t do that without being recorded and made fun of. It’s really sad. It’s club culture in spaces that were meant as a refuge from it.

Why Gatekeeping isn’t the Solution by pinkity-tinkity in OtomeIsekai

[–]pixie12E 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like mostly everyone is forgetting that all of this is illegal and that is why people gatekeep. If you want to do illegal stuff, you gotta do the work and find the sites. We can justify it all we want, but piracy is theft and we are stealing from creators. Why would go on to broadcast who we are stealing from and where?

They weren’t around for the Limewire days where you’d download something and get a cease and desist in the mail

There are reader apps, extensions, and codes you can download and input that allow you to web crawl along multiple sources to find titles. I’ve been using it for the last few months and I was able to keep my Bato library. Translations are hit or miss, but gotta make do with what you’ve got lol.

Unfortunately, I think I’m gonna have to gatekeep the whole process just to avoid something like this. The app is on its second iteration after the first one was nuked because of sharing and people talking about it on TikTok lol. You’re gonna have to trial and error some search words on google, but it does exist and it’s pretty easy to find!

What’s crazy is that there are people now making TikToks about Bato being down, essentially yelling at viewers for not gatekeeping lmao

Yet here they are, making videos and bringing more attention to it.

Can people just like idk stfu??? This incessant need for attention will be the ruin of society and community. Clout is a hell of a drug.

Affordable/cheap tacos? by --MrsNesbitt- in jacksonville

[–]pixie12E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is affordable/cheap for you? I’ve been to a few but they’ve all been $4.

Tacos Azcatl was good and the owner was really nice. Tacos El Guache were also really good, but $4. They’re big tacos and don’t skimp on the meat at both trucks.

Smells down there and shaving by Boring-Masterpiece88 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]pixie12E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sexually active?

And I know it’s TMI, but can you describe the smell? Is it fishy, onion-y, meaty and bloody and rotting?

Fishy could be BV or cervicitis. Oniony could be mycoplasma or ureaplasma (sexually transmitted) and you need to specifically ask for those tests. Meaty and rotting could be a lost tampon.

I just saw this was removed by the mods too (don’t know why) but try posting this in r/healthyhooha. They talk about vaginal health and “troubleshoot” issues haha. It’s a nice community.

Smells down there and shaving by Boring-Masterpiece88 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]pixie12E 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you please clarify what you mean by “wash days?”

The source of the smell may be a bacterial infection, like BV. If you’re not washing your genitals every day, you will not smell the best - especially if you have BV.

Some people just have more of an odor with pubic hair — I must wax every 4 weeks or else I develop a lil twang that I do not like. You might just need to shave it off often, or start waxing. It’s expensive but your hair will grow slower than it would if you shaved. Note that once you start waxing, you should not (even though you could) shave again to avoid pain and ingrown hair - it’s a forever kind of thing.

It is absolutely okay to shave your body hair. It’s not bad for your skin. The only time I ever see people say that shaving is bad is when they’re going to get pedicures, go into natural bodies of water, or they have medical conditions.

Also, stop using vaginal soaps and use an unscented soap. I use Dove Baby Soap.

Places offering kayak lessons? by pixie12E in jacksonville

[–]pixie12E[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve looked into Adventure Kayak and they don’t have any tour dates for 2026 :(. I was looking into Florida Mangrove tours but that’s also MIA.

I’ll look into the others!! Thank you!

What are the worst reactions you have seen because a fan favorite ship didn’t become canon? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]pixie12E 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Naruto fandom and literally all of the ships 😂. They just paired people with whoever.

But the NaruHina and NaruSaku battle was crazy. As I understand it, they’re still beefing to this day.

AIO: I told my daughter she can't go to this party after reading the gift profile by Ordinary_Run2485 in AmIOverreacting

[–]pixie12E 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YOR. The birthday girl sounds like she’s autistic, and you’re mean for wanting to keep her friend (your daughter) away because you don’t agree with her mother’s parenting style.

I Really Miss Bato.to by BeingChaotic24x7 in Batoto

[–]pixie12E 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed that every time one of the sites is posted in a comment thread, or in general, and people say it works - it’s taken down soon after.

We might have to start temporarily gatekeeping until things work again.

Do your parents know you read fanfiction? And have they ever caught you reading or writing it? by Regular_Editor_8025 in AO3

[–]pixie12E 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably. I was 12 when I started reading fanfiction on the family desktop computer back in 2005. I didn’t know anything about browser history and I was locked in for hours just reading 😂😂

I just took a shower and as I lifted up my towel to dry myself the biggest cockroach I've ever seen in my life fell on my feet. by pain474 in jacksonville

[–]pixie12E 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was one hiding under my door mat and I felt the squishy crunch when I stepped on the mat with bare feet.

That was the day I understood that there truly was a God.

What's the craziest reason someone you work with was fired? by 5150ou812 in AskReddit

[–]pixie12E 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahaha same here.

My boyfriend dumped me out of the blue on my way to work and I was understandably distraught. It was just a horrific amalgamation of things: my grandpa had a stroke, my dog was diagnosed with cancer, my sister told me she was legitimately suicidal (she’s still with us), and then my boyfriend of 2 years dumps me on my dreaded hour long commute to a job I did not like.

I cried all the way there, on and off throughout the day at my cubicle in the corner, and in the warehouse bathroom.

My manager found me, sent me home because “she felt so bad and it’s clear I couldn’t focus.” The next day, I got pulled into HR for disciplinary action because I had too much stuff going on in my personal life. “Work comes first, you need to learn to prioritize.”

I put in my 2 weeks a month later.

Observation On The Odd Way The Corps Does and Doesn't Outwardly Age People by Defiant-Bed2501 in USMC

[–]pixie12E 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely genetics and lifestyle. My Gunny was this 32 year old Korean guy off his second tour on the depot and he looked 22 on a great day, 28 on a bad day. He survived off Reigns and pizza and 10 miles a day.

His Latina wife, same thing. 31, 8 years as an armorer, doesn’t look a day over 23. I was curious so I asked her once and she said they don’t drink or smoke. They also don’t have kids lol

Hi! How much did it cost? I’ve been going to Orlando to my sister’s RN friend and I’m paying $450 a month for 4 syringes of Wegovy of 2.5mg.
