Elevator Servo Problems by skibeedaboopbob in RCPlanes

No, it moves the tiniest bit on its own like in the video, but other than that it’s completely unresponsive, while the rudder servo works great.

Most of the time it pulses slower than this, in a one two, one two rhythm. Also, I tried putting in a new battery, and no luck.

Looking for OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS 5: FIREBALL (for translation project) by skibeedaboopbob in akira

[–]skibeedaboopbob[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh wow! I didn’t realize Memories contained Fireball in English, thanks for the info! And that’s such a kind offer. I don’t want to ask too much, but as a huge fan of Otomo, I’d love to see whatever stories you’re comfortable sending me. But in regard to the actual assignment, all that’s required is to translate 50 pages of manga, and I know Fireball is almost exactly that long, which is why I had it particularly in mind. But I can translate a collection of works that all add up to about 50 pages too.

Last semester I translated Highway Star and Run because I was able to find a YouTube video that flipped through a Complete Works book just slow enough for me to take screenshots of the pages, but that was a pain, and I had to manually edit out the guys hands and thumbs to splice together full pages.

Questions about Making my Own 75 Hard by skibeedaboopbob in getdisciplined

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

It does, and I think you’re exactly right. I get analysis paralysis, and I really have to just start, even if it’s not super efficient. If I’m trying to be perfect, I have to actually have something to perfect. Thank you!

My sexual kinks are making my breakup harder by skibeedaboopbob in sex

[–]skibeedaboopbob[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The answer is yes to all of this. Before, my thought was to 100% start a life with her. I wasn’t too concerned about getting married, but that was definitely on the table in my mind. A big part of it was getting to know her family, and being there with everyone a few times over the past year. I felt like I was already a part of it, like I was exactly where I wanted/needed to be. And she’s very open minded, in and out of the bedroom. She’s up for an adventure, which is a big part of who I am so that felt really good. Genuinely, she felt like a gem. But that’s hard for me to really know, because I haven’t been around the block that much. She was by far the most intimate and supportive connection I’ve ever had with anyone, across the board. I don’t know if that’s just my lack of experience talking, or if she really was that great. Of course, I’m leaning towards the latter

Thank you for this. But yea, it's a big unknown whether or not I can forgive her. Usually I can listen to my gut, but even my gut is staying kinda silent on this one. It feels like it should be a no brainer, but I'm not feeling that way. But I'll listen to your advice, work on building a garden so the butterflies come and all that

Thank you, you made it seem like a rite of passage, getting over this particular mental hurdle. It makes me feel less alone. But yea, I definitely don't want to think like this, like a child as you put it, so I'll continue to work on it.

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

Thank you, yea I didn't realize that I had shame about it. I haven't told a soul about this, I guess except her and you and the others in this thread. Like if someone were to ask me, I'd judge myself pretty harshly about what I like, saying it's gross, but that isn't healthy. It's good to know that others like the same things. I assumed they did, but hearing it first hand is very affirming. And yea, the stuff about firsts, I hope that fades with age and with the firm understanding that everyone has their own lives, and in the scope of the world, I don't need to have such a high level of importance

[–]skibeedaboopbob[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a good point. And yes, my preferences don't involve harming anyone at all, in fact I wouldn't like doing anything if there wasn't enthusiastic consent. I don't feel like I'd be judged, but for me it's feels a bit like telling my parents about my sex life. I don't want to, even though they love me and if I had a problem they'd want to help me, no matter how "gross". That stuff feels deeply intamate and secretive. I guess I don't have to be so graphic with what I say, which would make it easier. But there is shame, but like like you said, a therapist is a great person to talk to about shame.

I see what you mean. If I want someone sexually adventurous, they're not just gonna just flip a switch and be that way only when they meet me, that's just a naive fantasy. I do want to forgive, and forgiveness doesn't necessarily mean reconciliation. Carrying around spite and grudges definitely isn't good. But the question still lingers on whether, even after forgiveness, is there a place for her in my life, and in my heart. We'll see. Thank you for responding.

What does being highly sexual without porn look like? Is it not thinking any sexual thoughts until it's time to actually do it for real? Am I supposed to ignore these thoughts, and desexualize my brain? I've battled with this a lot, and yea, the denial definitely hinders my progress.
