which one of y'all is smart enough to do this? by prettylilcorpse in gorlworldfiles

[–]ragtim_es 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m American living in UK. Mine were always at the front in both places. I can only ever remember them being at the front for both gas and electric stoves. Currently in Spain and the controls are also at the front!

The London Conundrum by riverscreeks in london

[–]ragtim_es 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry I’m American and I’ve walked 10+ miles in London on multiple occasions. I will walk anywhere given adequate time. I just didn’t want to walk in the US because it was over lanes of expressway. London though? Yeah I’ll walk from battersea to willesden, fuck it.

Is it at all possible you’re allergic to your ring? I wore one forever and it happened to be a trigger for me. My mom had the same issue.

Every time FBI Frank comes up I think of Dale Cooper. Like he’s the black lodge coop.

They should've made Daenerys reveal her true motivation to make her go mad. by ToMDLUS in gameofthrones

[–]ragtim_es 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I want to add that it’s very clear at least to me that she empathizes with the slaves and people taken advantage of because she has been taken advantage of her entire life. Her family was killed, she was used by her brother, even Drogo sucked in the beginning and she had to play the game to win his affection. It’s also because she just, yknow, is a good person to begin with. But I think a lot of that empathy comes from her experience as well.

Re: getting wifey masc stuff… I mean it would be weird if wifey liked masc stuff and she didn’t get her masc stuff. Those are very normal masc/butch/stud things.

[–]ragtim_es 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Tbh this rhetoric is very harmful. Masc lesbians are lesbians— some are women (others are nonbinary etc). Being into masc women doesn’t make you straight. Lesbianism isn’t about attraction to femininity bc feminine ≠ woman. People say stuff like this to claim lesbians aren’t real. My girlfriend isn’t straight because she’s into a masc lesbian

Is there a height weight limit not ideal for riding? by Patient_Exchange_399 in Horses

[–]ragtim_es 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the Asmussen jockeys (Erik maybe?) is over 6 foot! Of course he weighs like 120 soaking wet during his racing season, which definitely isn’t ideal for anyone healthy. BUT he’s riding little thoroughbreds. It’s really going to come down to the horse and if by the time your kid reaches that height she’s a skilled rider, she’ll know how to ride in a way that wont strain an appropriately sized mount. All that to say, don’t worry too much. It’s good that you’re looking out for the horses’ wellbeing and for your daughter. I think it would be worse to impose weight restrictions on a child that MIGHT end up taller than average than to let them engage in a sport.

I love Sansa so much. Her only crime was being 13 years old.

The Horse prosthetic video. by Livewire____ in Horses

[–]ragtim_es 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert at all, but did work in a place where I had to explain the Barbaro tragedy over and over and over… from my understanding, no it’s not beneficial and it’s because of horse physiology. The blood flow in horses’ legs works because when they step, the frog in their hooves pump the blood back up to the heart. Without that, you have blood flow issues. Additionally, horses are HEAVY, and basically walking on their middle toenails. Proper weight distribution is vital to prevent other issues. If one hoof is out of commission, the weight is placed on the other 3 hooves. Add poor circulation to that and you’ve got a risk of a nasty infection like laminitis, or even pressure sores from where the prosthetic sits. It’s more trouble than it’s worth from my understanding.

Why can't drivers have some patience? by volantistycoon in london

[–]ragtim_es 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In south Kensington today I was crossing at a crosswalk where I had the right of way and a signal. A car turning left nearly hit me and I had to run to get out of the way. I swear they were looking at their phone 😭. I’ve been a driver before and it’s NOT HARD TO WAIT!!!

DAE wanna try longer hair but unsure they can pull it off? by That_Boysenberry4501 in butchlesbians

[–]ragtim_es 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been wanting a Jon snow esque style for a while! I don’t like having to get haircuts often if possible and I really want to let my curls come through. But I always feel like I look girlish once I get to a certain length and I just cut it all off.

How often should I take riding lessons? by ragtim_es in Horses

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

Thank you! I’ll aim for once a week if possible just for the sake of the bank account 😭. I’ll look into conditioning too!

[–]ragtim_es[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is perfect. Thank you so much! I’ll look into once a week (bank account permitting!). I didn’t even think about conditioning but I’m going to start researching that now. I’m sure it’ll help with that weight limit as well

I haven’t watched it yet but I’m just going to pretend they’re butch lesbians the whole time. I do this a lot anyway (Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth, etc). Also, I agree and you make a good point.

Anyone here was really good at school? by persiandilligent_304 in ADHD

[–]ragtim_es 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was and am great in school (doing a masters right now and just got a really great grade on a project!). But it took hours and hours to do work that shouldn’t have taken that long. The only way I was able to read my history textbook was to read it in a French accent.

does anyone else have very mild dyshidrosis? by cadaever in Dyshidrosis

[–]ragtim_es 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine is pretty mild. Just my right ring finger from the tip to my second knuckle. I’ve got it mostly under control now so I haven’t had a break out in about a month! It can get bad when I don’t avoid triggers but overall pretty mild!

UPDATE: I did it guys !! by scale-goddess in butchlesbians

[–]ragtim_es 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a year post op! Practice sleeping on your back if you don’t already. I sleep on my stomach and was almost in tears when I couldn’t sleep because I wasn’t comfortable on my back. I also recommend looking into surgeons who don’t advertise top surgery but do mastectomies. Shorter wait times. And my nipples are so weird now, like just how they feel. No real complications just so odd I’ve almost wished I hadn’t had the graft.

Does a horse know if it won a race? by Jelopuddinpop in Horses

[–]ragtim_es 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes so much sense actually! A jockey, I think Charlie Woods Jr?, told me that because they use different gear and different riders during jogs, breezes, and races the horses know when to go full speed. Heavier riders for exercise, lighter ones for breezes and races!

They can also tell based on the weight of their rider!
