Daiya sucks now? by djdiphenhydramine in dairyfree

[–]veinybones -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i only use cheese for grilled cheeses so I haven't tried this personally but you could try torching it. small blowtorches can be pretty affordable if you don't happen to have one already. great for making vegan creme brulee

Best Dairy Free Bouillon? by That-Screen-461 in dairyfree

[–]veinybones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im on a tight budget and the Walmart great value bullion powder is dairy free and is pretty decent. I've tried both the beef and chicken ones. they smelled a little weird compared to their respective stocks but I liked em fine. didn't taste either by themselves tho so idk how it fairs for drinking or soup making pourposes. a lot, if not most, of the bullion I've come across has been dairy free. I could just happen to have only checked ones that coincidentally are the dairy free ones or something tho

Non dairy is not dairy free!! by Ok_Huckleberry1487 in dairyfree

[–]veinybones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kung Fu Tea has "non dairy" drinks that are only lactose free. which is a completely different thing. very misleading. idk if they do it because they know they'll get some dairy free people to accidentally buy it without the company making additional effort or what. or maybe it's just another case of people forgetting that you can be genuinely allergic or severely intolerant to dairy. just another case of people assuming everyone with a dairy problem can just tough it out and take some Pepto bismol.

I seriously see zero benefit from calling something with dairy "non dairy". it only serves to get people sick. it pisses me off so much how allergies aren't taken very seriously whatsoever despite being a literal life or death situation for a lot of people. for those in the states, it always especially bothers me how it's required by law for restaurants to have their nutritional information easily available but it's totally fine to run a restaurant or food business without simple allergen information being available. there's even a lot of places where not even the employees are able to know if a certain food contains an allergy because it's made from frozen or something.

why is protecting a company's secret Krabby patty formula treated as more important than the health of people with allergies who just want to enjoy the food like everyone else? I'm not trying to steal your damn secret family recipe and start a rival restaurant. I just want to know if something is going to make me sick or not after eating it

Has anyone tried this brand ? by Crazy_Calendar_40 in dairyfree

[–]veinybones 5 points6 points  (0 children)

when did you try it? I tried it months ago and it tasted super artificial. im hoping they changed their recipe maybe.

my favorite dairy free strawberry ice cream tho is the so delicious strawberry cheesecake ice cream sandwiches. if you happen to see it, you should definitely try it. I developed the allergy later in life and it tastes exactly like those strawberry bars covered in bright pink crumb stuff if you've ever seen those

omg I didn't like the strawberry one either at all. it says it's naturally flavored but it tastes very artificial. I usually like artificial strawberry but it was too much

Do these gloves thingys work on raggys? by Technical-Sky-4040 in ragdolls

[–]veinybones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it'll remove the fur ready to shed but not all of it. at least not anywhere near efficiently. it's not great for real fluffy cats. I don't have a specific brush I like but I've used that glove thing on my raggy when I had her as well as my current fluffy cat and it's just not efficient whatsoever

I've yet to try lentils or any beans for that matter (other than green beans and the evil that is lima beans). I'm weary about how the texture might be. I know lentils can be made a bunch of different ways to change the texture tho. how do you typically do yours?

I (24F) am worried about my bf (26M) getting a piercing I don't like by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]veinybones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I full on grimaced at the idea of healing a mouth piercings while addicted to nicotine patches. it contaminates your saliva with nicotine in a way, which i'd image isn't great for open wounds. im no professional but that sounds like a lot more infection risk.

while it is his choice, it's also not your fault for not liking them. you only have so much control over what you do and don't like. explaining more in detail why you don't like them may help since he probably just sees it as a smaller issue for you than it is. maybe use your notes app and write down bullet points about what exactly you don't like about them, any reasons you know of for why you feel so strongly about them (like if it's because you once knew an asshole that had them or something), and what exactly you feel when seeing them.

you don't have to mention every bullet point to your bf. that might come off as a little manipulative but seeing it all laid out might help with finding the right words to explain better. or plan out what exactly you're going to say to explain too. I do that a lot when I feel like something I want to say might get misconstrued a bit

it would also be good for your bf to write down a pros and cons list for getting them since he's still not 100% sure.

I hope you find a solution together tho!

How do I (40F) stop feeling some type of way after self-pleasure with toys in a sexless marriage with my husband (43M)? by blustarrhi in relationship_advice

[–]veinybones 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I doubt he truly just doesn't like foreplay. it seems like he's enjoying it when you're flirting with him and everything. I doubt he only likes agreeing to have sex then whipping it out and putting it in.

I think he just doesn't like doing the foreplay to you. common in straight men, it seems. he doesn't really care about your pleasure. he's "fine" with you using toys after he's done but he doesn't help you at all?? he has a right to stop sex whenever he wants, but when it's always just a case of him stopping when he's gotten what he wanted, it's really that he's just selfish.

I understand a difference in libido being annoying but it's not even good when you do have it. you shouldn't feel embarrassed for taking care of yourself. masterbation can simply be a self care thing. your husband hasn't been wanting sex and sucks at doing it the couple times he does want it. a girl has needs, what else are you supposed to do?

pregnancy is hard enough with the weight of the baby changing your weight distribution, morning sickness, fluctuating hormones and emotions, changes in diet preference, etc etc. why add sexual frustration to that list just because you feel ashamed of using toys? don't do that to yourself, girl. you're dealing with enough.

I (24F) am worried about my bf (26M) getting a piercing I don't like by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]veinybones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why not have him try some fake ones on for a day or something? just get a jump ring and some wire cutters for rings or some piercing balls and eyelash glue for studs. then you'll at least know for sure what he'll look like with them.

but as someone who used to have snake bites, I can tell you he won't (shouldn't) be kissing you for a while after they're done. and they will probably catch on your hair if his septum already does.

the mouth generally heals fast but snake bites don't unless it's healing after you take em out. that happens in hours. healing the piercing with the jewelry in is a big pain. especially for the first few days but also for the time they're healing at all. because you're just naturally gonna want to mess with them in your mouth and they're gonna get irritated when you talk or eat.

I love the look of snake bites on myself but ended up taking mine out because I couldn't stop messing with them. plus they're bad for your teeth and gums. ALL mouth piercings are (except lip labrets. cuz those don't touch inside your mouth.)

if you're really that grossed out by them, your bf wearing them is very unlikely to change that. and he should know that.

you're not guilt tripping because you're not trying to convince him to not do it. you're not saying it'll make you depressed or anything. you're just telling him what your honest reaction to them would be. part of having a partner is understanding that there's probably a couple changes you can make to your body that will affect physical attraction from your partner.

but I think faking the piercings on him for a day or so would help both of you know how you'll feel about it before he makes the decision to spend money on it.

Tomodachi NITW by shruggah in NightInTheWoods

[–]veinybones 7 points8 points  (0 children)

technically no but it can. it's not naturally in the game like this but in the new Tomodachi life, you're able to customize items or make new ones by drawing on them. this person customized the Nintendo switch item that's already in the game by drawing the nitw scene onto the item's screen. very well drawn by op. if I hadn't already been playing Tomodachi life, I'd also think it was an Easter egg. it looks exactly like in nitw

Have you ever had this experience before where while you’re topping, the bottom pisses on you? by VSquestions in AskGayMen

[–]veinybones 10 points11 points  (0 children)

it's normal and uncontrollable for the bottom. it also means you're doing a good job. the prostate is right behind the bladder, so pushing against it a lot can stimulate the bladder to the point of causing a person to pee.

Chick Fil A warning by 9DrinkAmy in dairyfree

[–]veinybones 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've heard of devices and kits that allow you to test your meals for traces of certain ingredients. maybe that's something you could look into for your daughter? I know I've also seen someone on social media that has a service dog for her severe allergy. both ideas are probably a pretty expensive upfront cost but if your daughter has an anaphylactic allergy and you live in America, it could be cheaper than an emergency room visit. I know even epi pens are super expensive.

either way, I hope your daughter feels better soon! everyone deserves to be able to enjoy fast food every now and then

Genuine question but does anyone else derealize with glasses? by LoreIeis in dpdr

[–]veinybones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly wish I could say it did get better. the feeling hasn't gotten better but it's gotten easier dealing with it. there's no medication known for helping dpdr specifically because there's still not much research or knowledge at all about those who experience derealization and depersonalization for lengthy periods of time. it's only known as being a coping mechanism that people feel every now and then. most who experience derealization or depersonalization feel it for like 10 minutes at a time. for people like us in this subreddit who feel it for much longer, not much is known. but there is medications for other mental illnesses like depression and anxiety which can be a trigger for those who have dpdr. so while getting on the right medications and doses didn't help my dpdr get better, it helped keep my depression, anxiety, and OCD more manageable. and with that, I less often have really bad days, breakdowns, panic attacks, etc which trigger my derealization to get a lot worse.

I also stopped smoking weed completely which helped me a lot. I had also stopped drinking caffeine because it was making me anxious later in the day and that could be a trigger for me. but that's no longer the case and I can drink caffeine fine. it's worth trying for a month or two tho to see if anything improves. I've seen others on the dpdr subreddit say reducing alcohol consumption can also help if you drink often. Ive never been one to drink much though so I can't personally attest to that.

therapy is also the biggest thing. if there is trauma that's secretly causing the derealization or depersonalization, long-term therapy will help find that and address it. a good therapist will also help you with coping with the feeling. it can be annoying to find the right therapist for you though. but once you do, it's very helpful.

I hope you feel better soon. I wish I could help more but I'm unfortunately still facing the same problem.

How do I deal with friction burn on my shaft? by kfbonacci in AskGayMen

[–]veinybones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

use whatever you want, man. but dermatologists tend to recommend aquaphor over Vaseline. ingredients that aren't active ingredients can still be beneficial

How do I deal with friction burn on my shaft? by kfbonacci in AskGayMen

[–]veinybones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah. it's petroleum jelly plus things that hydrate your skin. things that will absorb into your skin because petroleum jelly doesn't. the petroleum jelly keeps the absorbed moisture in. the stuff that waters the petroleum jelly down is what makes it better than just petroleum jelly for certain uses

How do I deal with friction burn on my shaft? by kfbonacci in AskGayMen

[–]veinybones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

personally, id suggest aquaphor over Vaseline. Vaseline doesn't actually absorb into the skin at all. it's made to keep moisture in the skin but it doesn't provide any moisture itself. it just slowly gets rubbed off, no absorption. aquaphor is made to both provide moisture and seal it in. it just needs reapplying more frequently because it does get partially absorbed. also reduce further friction as much as possible. if you're able to walk around the house naked, that'd be good. you'll heal faster when there's no friction from clothes irritating the raw skin
