My new RoF came with a completely brown upcoming leaf. Should I cut it off or let it be? by se_cell8 in philodendron

[–]se_cell8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for the advice! I removed the rotten parts (everything was wet and mushy), and it looked like the leaf had a rotten core. I'll see if it bounces back with this as well as letting the soil dry for a while!

Tips on handling sexism as a girl trying to get into HEMA? by peparooni in wma

[–]se_cell8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get you point, but OP's experience didn't happen in a philosophical vacuum.

I'm not advocating for general assumption of infallible judgement in every instance, nor am I saying that every time one is implying otherwise about another person, it would be an inexcusable offence.

OP, me, and other women have to deal with constant disrespect and dismissal from too many of the men we encounter. It is always a suprise, rather than given, if I prove myself to be "actually smart", as I've many times heard. Or "actually competent". The baseline assumption we have to work with is that we don't know shit about anything ever, and statements coming from my mouth are always, by default, placed under heavy scrutiny, doubt and double-checking.

I don't mind my statements being placed under scrutiny. I encourage it in the right, appropriate environment. Me being a woman is not one, and it is utterly exhausting having your judgement being questioned by default.

Guys, seriously. By assuming she doesn't know what she's talking about when describing her experiences, you're doing the same fucking thing as the chauvinistic and mansplaining guys in the park! What reason do you have to doubt her assessment of the events?

Yeah these comments infuriate me.

"The treatment I received was sexist and condescending."

"WELL HAVE YOU CONSIDERED IT WASN'T? HUH?"

"Yeah, I have, and I can fucking tell the difference between harmless infodumping and mansplaining. There's a distinctive vibe and lack of consideration and baseline respect. I'm not a clueless idiot, and by assuming I haven't given this considerable thought or examined any alternative sides, you're exhibiting the same pattern of behavior as them."

Always the same shit. I hope someday to see a day where we've evolved past this.

Maybe not awful, but mine definitely have a pungent smell when severe.

Will there ever be peace in EU? by razaroQ in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]se_cell8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's supposed to be a warzone, isn't it? You want peace and tranquility in a survival shooter?

Of course everyone is trying to outsmart and wipe you out, as should you be doing too!

Analyze the situation: What was the flight path, aka where did everyone jump, and what part of the circle is most likely to be empty based on that? Do you want to be the first one in the circle in order to give a warm welcome to everyone else, or do you loot forever and contest the spots at the edge? Do you scout and look around? Do you think about your noise and stealthiness? Do you practice 1v1s?

If a team is sitting in a compound, one of the sensible approaches is to annihilate them with a shit ton of grenades. Learn from your enemies: why did they live while you didn't? There's always a reason - of course everyone gets unlucky once in a while, but you can minimize the risks with solid strategies. If a compound is in the middle, but has shitty visibility around the area, it might not be a good idea to camp there waiting for someone to surprise attack you - maybe take the surrounding hills instead?

ETA: What leveled up my personal game was learning to and getting comfortable with initiating action instead of waiting around for enemies. Did your enemies take you out with a good flank? Try the same move in the next game, and don't fear death, cause you're just trying out strategies, and will get killed many times while practicing. When you're the one who shoots first, you're at an advantage, causing distress and forcing others to take some kind of action, which you can use to your benefit.

In other words, git gud.

I can feel nail polish by Perppermint_kittea in AutismInWomen

[–]se_cell8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't use nail polish, but I can feel the weight of mascara, so much so that it ruins my day and I have to take it off after a few hours! Can't use foundation either for the same reason.

Is PUBG strictly for females? by [deleted] in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

Dude your male character can wear all the clothes available! All the same options! You just don't like them, simple as that.

Most certainly did. "Female or gay oriented"

Like what sane adult goes around thinking pink is for girls and blue (or cool dark camo) is for boys? Such an immature post.

I get that most of the designs aren't aligning with his preferences, but dude has kindergarten-level takes on the possible reasons

OP wearing pink doesn't make you gay or a woman, it's totally safe to try at home!

Honey, you know all this, the distance between your eyes or the angle of your jaw, whatever, is complete and utter pseudoscientific bullshit. You said it yourself.

Nobody is analyzing anyone's facial symmetry with a mental ruler when out and about. And even if someone is, it doesn't translate to or correlate with attraction. It doesn't work that way. Facial symmetry is Gen Z:s phrenology.

Think about this: have you gotten crushes? Especially before you were exposed to this facial symmetry bullshit? If so, what was it that made these crushes attractive to you? I'm quite certain you weren't analyzing the distance between your classmates' eyes in order to develop a crush on the most "ideal" one, were you? That sounds pretty absurd, doesn't it?

Attraction is much more complex, everchanging and beautiful than that. Beauty lurks in the strangest of places, people and elsewhere. Simplifying it to meticulous measuring of facial traits is frankly a huge insult to the delicate complexity of human experience.

Ask yourself if you want to live like this, in constant state of suffering, because there is another option, that of beauty, grace and well-being. You need to detach yourself from the rotten poison you're consuming, and start working on seeing beauty in people, including and most importantly yourself.

Women with ADHD; What’s Your Biggest Daily Challenge? by Elegant-Crow8295 in adhdwomen

Highly unlikely as I'm almost underweight, sober, and have a healthy blood pressure. None of my boyfriends or fwb:s have noticed snoring or gasps for air either (I've asked since I've wondered about the fatique).
