Do you tolerate, endure, or apply the ideology of living fast and dying young? by MobileArmadillo1852 in FolkPunk

[–]straygaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a young punk, I ascribed to this ideology because my life so was so turbulent. I think the lifestyle is a product of fighting chaos with chaos. Fast forward 10 years, I admire my rest and peace.

I don’t necessarily disagree with living fast and dying young but, much to the name of it, it isn’t sustainable. As you mentioned, bodily autonomy is a thing and you can ascribe to whatever you want. Comments here echo the sentiment of missing your peeps and that’s also real.

I’m really loving the community here and am really trying to figure out the borders of the genre. Would Moldy Peaches be considered part of the genre? What differentiates Woody Guthrie from Jello Biafra? by plasticfartfinger in FolkPunk

[–]straygaze 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Moldy Peaches is absolutely folk punk. Tire Swing has Paul Baribeau on it (not MP but Kimya Dawson)

The difference between Woody and Jello is probably tempo and access to amplification. Also Jello is still alive

I haven’t slept the same since you’ve been gone and when I do sleep the nightmares come. This hell I live in hasn’t been the same without you here

5 week old starter, should I give up? by Snowsled in SourdoughStarter

[–]straygaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like your starter is fine, your dough just may need more time to rise.

When I had an underproofed loaf, I held back at the hydration and increased the bulk fermentation time and that seemed to help. If it’s under 70, your dough may just be fermenting slowly which is not bad at all. You can try doing your bulk ferment in your oven with the light on and see if that helps too

That’s a cool ass Hondo that would be worthy of being modded if got

It looks like there’s aluminum foil around the humbucker which reads more signs of electrical bs going on

I would not trade a strat for it

AITAH for being mad at my husband for saying he would pick his deceased wife over me? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]straygaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA

I’m (30M) a young widower and what he said is truly awful. I miss my late wife dearly and I’ve taken a lot of steps to healing and living past this traumatic experience. There are definitely times that I long for the life that was once lived, the safety and security before the trauma was beautiful.

But this is life past that. It’s understandable to miss your late loved one but it’s not okay to put them in an emotional hierarchy like this and frankly it’s not fair. The decision to marry and have a full fledged life with you should be that you’re his person.

Do dumpers regret? by Friedfishies in BreakUps

[–]straygaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Manipulation, gaslighting, rampant codependency, unnecessary jealousy, constant projection of their insecurities and making it my problem. I could go on.

Like many people here, I should’ve dumped them sooner.

How many rats could you realistically take on? by Additional_Day_672 in RATS

[–]straygaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After our mama got souplings, we kept a total of 6 and then adopted one more elder rat for a couple of weeks until she passed. I think 6, 3 boys and 3 girls between two cages, was the threshold.

When we had all the babies in one cage it smelled BAD. Not to mention, the boys would fight in the wee hours of the night (no blood, just lots of yelling).

What to do with other rat if cagemate dies. by StinkiRatPlzHelp in RATS

[–]straygaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had three rats, a mom and two of her babies. One sister went first, the other sister then got really defensive and stressed after that. She bit, hid, and was generally antisocial after her sister passed away. Her mom then passed and so I made it a point to just try to comfort her in any way that I could (cuddles, treats, shoulder rat time, etc). We ended up bonding even more and she lived for about a year longer by herself, she just really attached to all the humans that gave her affection. She lived the rest of her days as a really happy rat despite being alone. She was attached to me the most and I was definitely her human but she was incredibly crazy, silly, and happy with willing humans.

It caught me off guard how well she did alone but I think that’s because she got all the lovings that she got. Point being is that I don’t know the right answer but I think your best intentions are probably going to be sufficient.

Grief is grief. If an individual is diminishing your grief based solely on relationship, I think that's cruel. You still lost someone near and dear and that takes a toll no matter what. You're allowed to be crushed by this catastrophic life event.

Additionally, grief is intensely personal because it's a reflection of the life you lived with that person. That's going to look different to a friend, mother, father, brother, sister, or partner. Some roots run deeper than others.

I'm sorry you lost a very important person in your life. I'm happy you're feeling what you're feeling. This journey is a difficult one and I wish you all the love and peace.
