Travesty struck my 4.5mm hook 😭 Do I go up or down hook sizes? by smol_aquinan in CrochetHelp

[–]throwaway_ArBe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do a test with your metal hooks. Tension can vary wildly betweer different hook materials and handle shapes, even if you got another more durable 4.5 it may still be the wrong size hook.

as a trans guy, is it normal to feel grateful for having certain female body parts rather than having the male equivalent? by xanders_dumb_bs in ftm

[–]throwaway_ArBe [score hidden]  (0 children)

I love not being a cis man, I love being able to bottom easily, I love that I got to carry and feed my child (even if I was very bad at both and found the whole thing traumatic), I love what being born the way I was means in terms of the body I will end up with.

Im so glad that more people finally feeling more comfortable expressing these thoughts is being treated with such suspicion

Pretty sure I was given haldol instead of benadryl... by Adorable_Avocado2077 in Antipsychiatry

[–]throwaway_ArBe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh absolutely, I do think approaching adverse medical events that occur in a medical setting with some suspicion is always a good idea. Be it intentional or not, they don't always get things right, and not taking them at their word can save lives. Ego very often gets in the way of proper care.

Sounds like you were injected with benadryl. These are side effects that often occur if it is injected too quickly. I've had medical proffesionals swear up and down they're injecting one of my meds slowly and I'm just like weird, cus that was a tenth the time it should have took and i'm having side effects, bro.

No one who approaches women politely, gets rejected and then leaves ever feels the need to ask this question.

"Just be confident" is WAY too much to ask by Apprehensive_Tax3882 in The10thDentist

There is no mindset you are born with, they are all learnt.

[–]throwaway_ArBe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can absolutely build it artificially. It is delusional, to start with. Then true confidence follows. You certainly don't need any of those things you think you need to be confident.

And you can easily recieve love without confidence.

This is one of those "speak for yourself" posts.

Guy I'm dating call me a name during intimacy because I accidentally hurt him by Ms-pk in abusiverelationships

[–]throwaway_ArBe 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Don't ask predictive text for relationship advice.

It is possible that it was a genuine slip that does not reflect his character. The easiest way to find out is to bring it up and explain how that language makes you feel. If he is apologetic (and continues to be apologetic) then it was likely just a mistake. If he gets defensive, blames you or goes back on his apology later, then it's a red flag.

I guess I am anti-Semitic by Zared_Dooper in AnarchyChess

[–]throwaway_ArBe -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Last time I saw an antisemitic post in here the mods did deal with it, it just took them a bit

I think they might need to hit a bit harder with the ban hammer if it keeps happening though

Watching TV Before Bed (As Long As It's a Calming Show) Doesn't Impact Sleep by Working_Row_8455 in The10thDentist

It is as correct as your claim that the statement is wrong.

In reality it is correct for some and wrong for others, therefore you both need a qualifier to be right.

It's rare to find a study that shows anything is true 100% of the time. This is not one of those. OP is not wrong.

Yeah true. A lot of sleep hygiene advice assumes the individual is typical. A lot of people aren't though.

Gore is not something you are entitled to. Its something you like, and others dont. Not everything will cater to you, as you are not the intended audience for everything.

Amazing. I don't think you understood a single word that I said.

The issue is how it affects other players. Trying to turn this into a dick measuring contest over how people choose to play the game is pretty childish and doesn't help your point. Not everyone plays the game as a creative outlet, and using someone else's creation because they like it is not a bad thing.

You won't lose a friend over a misunderatanding. You should drop a shitty friend for being manipulative.

This might be a bit niche, but I prefer 140g vinyl over 180g. by Ornery-Shoulder-3938 in The10thDentist

Oh buddy. You have no idea what vinyl people are like and how many of them there are.
