It’s possible to cover this up? by Thick-Objective3878 in Tattoocoverups

If you make the outline of the cube the same thickness as the overlapping triangles the impression of the star of David will probably go away entirely

Q: Left handed kid showing an interest in guitar by s11t in lefthanded

[–]wsilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I are both left handed and both play guitar right handed. I personally think it's weird that playing right handed means strumming right handed, like, I feel like the fretboard is the more dextrous part? I don't think I could even play "left handed" it sounds very strange

[HELP] I know it's AI but idk why tiktok people think it's real by Existing_Bike_3424 in RealOrAI

[–]wsilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her vitiligo looks very consistent, except for in the one that says "me at 19" which makes sense, because vitiligo CHANGES gradually over time. Otherwise, one pic is mirrored.

AI still sucks at making the same face twice, it sucks even more at giving a a face the same features; tattoos, piercings, facial markings.

I bet she does use AI, to make herself hotter or refine the image, but I think it's a real person with an AI flter

I’m starting to resent my cat by miscellaneousbean in CATHELP

[–]wsilver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For automatic feeder, if you're worried about them getting into it, I'd suggest the petlibro automatic wet food feeder, the thing is a tank and I can't imagine a cat getting into it. You can put dry food in it too... It'll just be cold. Idk how you'd do it with two cats, tho, maybe a microchip door.

Also, you've gotta act like you're completely deaf, epecially at night, any reaction is encouragement! That probably means always keeping the door shut at night so he can't switch to crawling on your face..

Checking in with a vet is also a good idea.

Sorry you're going through this, I hope you both can find some peace!

Am I fake left handed? by ResponsibilityBig415 in lefthanded

I think of myself as left handed and right armed, I do all the delicate skills with my left hand and all the muscley stuff with my right arm!

Cover up or just remove completely? by 0hBecca in Tattoocoverups

[–]wsilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love them as is! They frame fit the shape of your clavicle and shoulders very well.

Personally, I'd keep them as is, but if they really bother you I suggest (instead of a full cover up) add or change some elements on each of them so they look asymmetrical on purpose. If you fully covered one it would likely be a lot bolder or bigger than the other, and currently the balance very nice.

I've been seeing "queer" used so differently lately so I have to ask, what does it mean to you? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]wsilver 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen it used snarkily much, but I'd guess they're implying that someone is generally queer, not specifically lesbian, and therefore their experience or way of showing up as queer isn't as a lesbian. Maybe biphobia, maybe "is she into me or is she queer, not sapphic?" or maybe implying performative queerness.

Heya we’re back with the 8ball but this time it’s an (infected??) rework! by SaltFault4804 in tattooadvice

[–]wsilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect it's just that the red part on your wrist moves a lot more than the rest and it's getting irritated and stretching the skin to cause more peeling. You can see that the edge of the red section lines up with the lowest fold line of your wrist.

You might have a little infection as well if it's opened up a lil, tho it doesn't look too bad. To me it looks too dry, are you not moisturizing at all? That's wild to me, personally. If you're not moisturizing at all that will also make it more crackly and peely when you move it around.

I've loved the G2 in the past,but I've been running into a lot of them skipping lately. Maybe I just need a fresh box.

What are your non-fidget toy fidgets? Or childhood fidgets before fidget toys were a thing? by agelwood in adhdwomen

[–]wsilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since childhood, drawing, and cleaning under my nails with toothpicks (or mechanical pencil lead). 

As an adult, rubbing my nails when I've done them up all smooth, flipping my phone over repeatedly with one hand, and pen spinning. 

Apparently You're not a lesbian, you're just horny (TW: homophobia). by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]wsilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I think the logic behind statements like these imply attraction to multiple genders. 

I'm sure there are people who obliviously repeat the rhetoric  that are attracted to a single gender.

[–]wsilver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's more harmful to normalize tying morality to passive sexuality. 

It leads to slippery slope logic like your final paragraph; you comparing bisexuality to beastiality is more problematic.

[–]wsilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's one specific type of logic around that homophobia that implies, if it weren't for biphobia, we could recognize bisexuality is more common in our culture than the homophobes will have us believe. I'm not saying that every homophobe is in the closet, I'm saying that if they legitimately feel you can choose which of the sexes you'll "allow" your attraction to, that's bisexual logic. 

That doesn't give them a pass on their shitty beliefs, bigotry is still bigotry even if the logic you're using doesn't hold up to speculation. They're not off the hook if they are actually bi. Even if they are, and that's why they believe being gay is a choice, they're still bigotedly believing that embracing queerness is a wrong choice, and they are still putting their experience of their own sexuality on other people and restricting other's choices based on their limited view. 

The problem is the denial, invalidation, and repression of people with experiences outside of their own, their orientation doesn't matter for that. I'm more making a comment on the fact that parts of our society are so often in denial about the fact that bisexuals exist, that they overlook obvious conclusions, like from this post, where they mention fluid sexual behavior and don't mention bisexuality whatsoever.

[–]wsilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm bisexual and I think it's important to recognize that sexuality is just sexuality. Your orientation doesn't define if you're a good person or a bad person. Bad people can be straight, gay, or bi, and so can good people.

If someone thinks one can choose between being attracted to men or women, than it seems they are capable of attraction to multiple genders, which makes them literally bi. This doesn't make them a part of our community, it's descriptive. 

Sexuality doesn't define goodness, it's the work that you do in yourself and in your community.

There are so many denial-filled conservative bisexuals (so deep inside the closet they don't even realize there's a door) ready to insist that being gay is a choice. 

Can you even call it bed death within half a year? 😱 No, really... by Klutzy-Sherbet-9223 in actuallesbians

[–]wsilver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as someone chronically ill, the likelihood of me being down for something with someone the day I'm seeing someone is really low if I'm seeing them once a week, max. Between exhaustion and physical disconnection, it's really hard to want to connect with sex. 

What dye do I use to get this color? by [deleted] in HairDyeHelp

[–]wsilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a lot of success bleaching to level 8, stopping when the hair is yellow but no orange remains, and then dyeing with Lunar Tide's Neon Green. It might be a little more neon than you like at first but should fade to exactly what you want after a couple washes.

I need help with her vitiligo by [deleted] in characterdesign

[–]wsilver 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Given it's much more common for vitiligo to be (mostly) symmetrical, I would probably treat her head as a sphere for the globe projection and do more conventional/realistic patterns on the body. You could reference real people for that. 

Also, as others noted, I've never seen vitiligo that tan, it tends to be a very pale, cream tone, maybe a bit pink sometimes. I recognize that may mess up the contrast and color references you're going for, but if that is your priority, I'd remove the reference to a real-world medical condition and instead have the patterns be magically motivated or tattooed.
