Genuinely, why is this bad?

Banger

Microwaved potato with butter and salt.

Oatmeal porridge with an egg added.

Natto and cheddar cheese on toast.

Anything I make or eat really. Some things I remember getting visceral reactions from were:

PB + J sandwich with a slice of cheddar.

PB, Thai chili sauce, and tamari with tuna.

Milk with ice.

Non homogenized milk fat on a cookie.

Curry with oatmeal.

That’s horrible :(

Lmao what is that from?

Hopefully the 2 up for adoption can have a home together!

A whole new meaning to chicken scratch

I was also a brand new player when I started playing with friends- probably should have prefaced that.

I heard that your playstyle is matched with others of a similar kind, not sure how true it is…

But I found after a while of playing with my friends we encountered more friendly groups generally speaking. It took a few days but it’s pretty consistently fair games now. We still get our asses handed to us but it rarely leaves me feeling bad.

We’ve had situations where we establish we’re friendly with others and walk away only to hear the fellow friendlies being attacked. We always run back and wipe out the aggressive squad until that lobby is mostly full of nice people.

I’ve also found how you respond to being attacked can improve your situation. We’ve been downed and praised the enemy party for a fair fight (when applicable) and been defibbed as a group and moved on with our raid.

I play a support role in our squad and that seems to have upped our chances of staying alive long enough to defend ourselves and give the boot to rude players.

That’s cool, I never really deeply considered how important impulse control is in emotional regulation.

…Why did you have to be weird about it? q_q I was so excited too. . .

Similar situation for me here.

I’ve cut my hair a few times before and from what I can discern, a hairstylist or someone particularly interested in hair/beauty will notice if you’ve cut it yourself. Whether that matters to you is another thing.

I’ve noticed if you have long hair (past the shoulders) and there is a lot of it then you can hide any mistakes easier. Curly hair is also better at hiding mistakes. If it’s straight, short and more sparse then any cuts made will be more noticeable and thus any mistakes will be more obvious. If you go very short and have to use a shaver to get closer to the skin then it can be tricky to keep everything even.

The more you do it the better you will get of course. At this point I feel fairly comfortable trimming my length but the first few times did not look very good. If your situation is such that appearances aren’t scrutinized severely then I don’t see the harm in trying to do it yourself.

Just make sure you cut your hair a little longer than you might want, that way if it looks really bad then you can go to a hairstylist and they have some length to work with.

Oh and something to note, my hairstylist knows about my sensory issues and they’re very accommodating. I was rather upfront about it, telling them something along the lines of “Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I have some sensory issues with haircuts. Is it possible we can address them before we get started?” I ended up sticking with the hairstylist that was the most understanding. It took a few tries but they’re great! We use unscented hair products, no heat styling (blow dryer or hair iron), tv’s are turned off, and we only really talk when it’s about the haircut.

The only reason I don’t see them that often anymore is the cost of services in general.

take my freaking updoot stranger

Fingerless gloves?

Nice.

This is a sign to finally play the game on my 3DS.

I do not find that to be the case at all in my circles, it’s usually the guys giving shit to other guys for expressing emotion and the emotionally expressive people (including women) riffing them for back for being assholes. There’s certainly a song and dance to doing this effectively.

I don’t really think it should be a gendered expectation but rather an everyone expectation. If someone is being vulnerable with you that wouldn’t otherwise, don’t be an asshole. If someone needs to be called out for exhibiting rude behaviour to someone else, do so in the way that works for your circumstances.

It’s for the people who don’t know, I think.
