The B-Side loves to make commentary whenever I opt not to get my hair cut(I still have not decided the extent of how long I want to keep it, it does not really get longer just bushier), but they cannot reasonably do anything about it anymore(adulthood is nice like that). I like it not shaved completely, but I also do not particularly care either. I have said it before that if I started losing my hair I would just shave it all off and be done with it. Too beautiful with too much to do and deal with to be bothered by the length of my hair atop it all.

That said–Rock your awesome hair! As long and flowing and as big and beautiful as you like, that is what is important. If you like it, let nobody stop you!

And the “family values,” cats need to be smacked with a fish. Their own Clan unites only when there is something to hate, then they go back to harming each other. They do not value anything other than authoritarian control and oppressing the vulnerable, and the second anyone in their life tells them to shove it, they get absolutely livid. Seen that play out one too many times dealing with the B-Side.

Yuri.

Without Yuri…well, that is nonsense. There is always Yuri.

I tried to use vrchat

Genuinely, it was for the long-term best you left there. It is not a great place, and people often end up down some pretty dark places.

was told not to do that by someone on lemmy

Dearie…never ever ever start/stop anything medicinal just because someone said so, especially not on the internet. I do not doubt that the person meant well suggesting not to(Melatonin is just about as misunderstood by folks as Caffeine, it does not do what people think it does), but only you know yourself, and a medical professional is who needs consultation if the situation calls for it. If you do go and see a Medical Professional: You can ask them what they think about Trazodone or Mirtazapine, as the latter helped me with my insomnia(not the former though).

Is that…not just the multivitamin food/drink brand? Nothing wrong with them broadly speaking, but that has no relevance to what you are talking about.

If you are getting to the point where it is difficult to even eat/drink, you really really should seek help from a Medical Professional. I know from experience that suggestion gets rather trite to hear, but I also know from experience that it can get to a point where one really does need to seek help, and it honestly seems to me like you are at that point. At least go and see what a Psychiatrist may say.

There are other “natural,” things you could look into, but I cannot and will not offer medical advice. Ashwagandha is something many will name-drop. For me, it made me feel absolutely horrible, but others swear by it. Herbal teas can help with sleep and overall relaxation, like Jasmine, Lavender, or specialty blends designed for various reliefs. I found them pleasant, but I cannot say they did too terribly much personally.

Completely thought this was from one of those old flash-based “quiz” or rage games, as it vaguely could be seen in my mind.

Based on the comments, it appears I was wrong.

Unreasonably expensive

Ah, so most of everything nowadays. “Working for an hour costs as much as a sandwich,” comes to mind.

Also, at least you enjoyed it. I suppose sometimes ads are indeed accurate :p

To steelman Ashen a bit here, it would not be the place for the hypothetical Femboy to reclaim a slur that was thrown at them because the hypothetical idiot was also just stupid and thought the Femboy was Transfem. It is not a Femboy Slur but a Transfem Slur, and a Femboy copping it would be controversial. There is already the tension that plays out between the two packs in the LGBTQ+ Clan, not really a reason to add more fuel to that fire.

You are correct broadly speaking though: The victim is in the right to reclaim victimizing language so that fools can no longer wield it as a weapon. It is just that in this case, the language used was not victimizing(in the sense of the word itself being degrading specifically against the hypothetical Femboy), it was the (assumed) context that the hypothetical idiot knew the person was a Femboy and used it as a double-slice against the Clan and against the hypothetical Femboy by mislabeling them in general.

Person: “And this was the result of the assignment to create a visual representation of my life!”

Professor: “I think we need to step out for a sec.”

The expression on the character absolutely sells it.

And the people who react with the hug mean well at least(nobody valid wants a cutie to be harmed!). But ew, Discord.

Do all that you can,

Hydrate and stand proudly here,

It’s snowing on Mt.Fuji.

It is a matter of expectations. A person who grew up in X situation believes that Y knowledge is fundamental, while one who grew up in Z situation may of had zero exposure to or need of being exposed to Y knowledge, instead learning T knowledge which they find to be fundamental.

There is a book I have actually, the Book of Basic Knowledge. I would say there is a baseline that makes sense for everyone to know for daily life(basic mental mathematics, how to construct sentences/formulate thoughts, a basic grasp of history to help understand why we are where and who we are, etc.), but some might believe there is “Basic Knowledge,” that is outside the scope of that book, because of the logic I posited above. Or some might think that the book goes beyond Basic Knowledge. And some might just outright disagree with what I think is fundamental to interface with the world(though having lived in it long enough, I think what I put is pretty universally needed).

“If you can stand, you can work.”

Sounds about right.

No other context needed, time to physically become catgirl.

Also, green.

You would look absolutely stunning. Confidence!

Also, pink. I have never been big into pink personally, but it is pretty.

Katze~! 🧡

It was certainly a case of people not knowing what to do about everything. Me and some of the folks commented on it too, being like “oh this is real safe.”

Never before seen someone in a hazmat suit face to face, and that was the last time I had.

And very good! Yay fluids!

do you have to mention that germaniac stuff every time?

I can refrain from my German towards you if you wish, it is meant with full genuineness though, that was the informal similar to the use of hallo. I do not know what is done on Reddit but I can likely safely assert my use is meant much differently.

And hopefully so! It is difficult to read signs, and sometimes even more difficult to read when someone actually does say something, since like you said, things can be meant very differently than intended. I will say though, it is much better to pop the question and get a response, and build from what is said, than to ponder what could be the case. The former progress can be made(and comes with its own challenges at times), the latter you are just spinning tires.

I remember when I used to drink Monsters before it donkey-kicked my health one day.

I also remember wondering similar(she did not, she was a pick-me, besides the point).

I cannot think or even smell a Monster without thinking about the alcoholic version of it though. Smells and tastes near identical to each other.

Schlaf Gut! (you probably already are asleep two hours later)

“Oh great, I get to hear the varied tones of the Straßekatze meowing on loop as she loops the rooms. Bloody brilliant.”

Schlafen Sie Gut! 🏳️‍⚧️

Always sparkle on, you are doing amazing!

Yes you.
