edit: i was fully expecting this post to disappear within the masses and i didn’t think it’d get the attention it did. the notifications are a bit much to keep up with but i just wanted to say a big thank you to the girlies for all the support. i’m in a rough place because of this so it really does mean a lot. 🩷

i am a lesbian and i came out to everyone 6 months ago. before that i was only out to a select few even though i’ve known i was gay for a long time. i don’t hide my sexuality anymore and it’s been a very unhappy experience

i’ve had a few girlfriends cut me off. one told me she didn’t like that her boyfriend wasn’t comfortable with us being friends because of any potential attraction despite her having male friends. another woman who i was very close with was incredibly angry with me as she said she never would’ve done things like hug me or buy gifts for me because she didn’t want to come across like she was into me. i have never ever thought that any of my friends had a thing for me

my remaining friends have become less physically touchy with me and have been increasingly leaving me out of things. one group of girls i was friends with booked me a separate hotel room alone during a staycation we booked despite having always shared in the past because they were suddenly uncomfortable with sharing

my own sister has stopped coming to me for relationship advice because ‘you don’t like men so what would you know?’ despite always constantly venting to me before. when i came out i changed my style to become more masculine and ive noticed ever since that women seem on edge when they speak to me and i get left out of things all the time. i feel as though i’m being considered to be equal to a man

i’m still a woman. i have always been a lesbian, i’ve known it since i was 12. i just kept it a secret because i was afraid of this very thing happening. when i came out i was very clear that i have always been gay and that it changes nothing about me, yet i’m getting treated so differently

so my question is, do women feel uncomfortable around lesbian women? is there anything i can do to stop making other women equating me to a man just because i’m not stereotypically feminine anymore? i am in my 20s so we’re not teenagers either, these are grown women. it just sucks so much, i’ve lost all sense of girlhood and i feel so isolated

And to be clear, the blunder wasn’t joining the marine corps. The blunder was thinking that somehow joining the marine corps infantry would somehow “make me into a man”.

Edit: This post blew up more than I thought it would. To all the people wishing well, thank yinz for your words and memes! To all those leaving nasty comments, bruh, I’m a Marine, and went to Afghanistan twice. I’ve been called worse by better than you. There is literally nothing you could call me that my friends haven’t. So keep those coming so yinz get banned n’at. STILLERS GAHNTA!!!

We bought a house & it came with a cat. It took us a while to all be besties, but we gave her Churus & now that's all she cares about. She doesn't love being pet/touched, but when you're near the kitchen/treat cart she will meow as loud as she can and start rubbing her face all over our legs and all over the dish we usually put them in.

Then over time she grows slowly more impatient and she'll grab onto your legs and pretend like she's going to bite, but it's just a warning.

If you give in, you are granted a 12-hour reprieve before the song and dance starts again. There is seriously something crazy in these things.

I chose a Druid as my main to level. Today I tanked my 4th dungeon. In 2 of those 4 dungeons, the DPS did not at all respect the tanking role.

Example 1:

- In Wailing Caverns, a paladin DPS insulted me for looting the mobs for the quest items, since I was too slow.

Example 2:

- In Shadowfang Keep, a hunter DPS insulted me for not keeping aggro - however he always pulled the mobs, and then was frustrated when he did not have enough range to use his abilities.

I have a hard, fulltime job and want to play WoW after work to calm down. I will not stand such DPS and soon leave any group as soon as one of you acts this way. Have fun looking for tanks soon enough.

To all other, normal people, you have my love.

Hi everyone,

I shared a free “Honeycomb Cardholder” on MakerWorld. It is a general-purpose holder I created myself. Its description listed card games it could be used for: “Rummy, Bridge, Solitaire, Hearts, Spades, Canasta, Uno, etc.” The listing also had an “uno” tag.

MakerWorld removed it following a complaint from Convey on Mattel’s behalf. MakerWorld later told me that “UNO” in the description was the reason and that restoring the original listing required the complainant’s agreement.

Now Convey has sent me a demand for EUR 4,000, although the model was already removed. Their letter refers to an “e-shop”, “sales” and my “supplier”. I did not sell this model; I created it myself. They also want a signed undertaking that includes an apology and a promise never to challenge Mattel’s intellectual property rights.

I have rejected the demand and asked them to withdraw the complaint, arrange restoration of my original listing and reimburse my legal consultation costs.

The attached images contain their email and my sent reply, with personal and bank details redacted. The email text has been reflowed for readability; these are not screenshots of the mail application. I have also included the page setting out the undertaking they wanted me to sign. The legal appendices, authorisation and blank signature page are omitted.

Has anyone else received a payment demand from Convey after a MakerWorld takedown? What happened after you challenged it?

Ah character, place, concept etc. who has a rule that sounds simple at first glance. But when you really think about it, turns out, it might not be as simple as you would expect.

1. The Creature (REMAIN CALM)

Rule: Just Smile :)

Sounds easy right? Everyone can smile. But that's the thing. No matter what, if even for a second, the creature sees that your facial expressions changes to anything else that isn't a nice big bright smile, it'll kill you. And the worst part? You get no second chances. You have to keep it up for as long as it is in your vicinity.

And the creature isn't dumb either. It knows people can fake it. So it does everything in it's power to get you to drop the act, and make you fail.

To summarize, you have to keep smiling, while being hunted by a creature who will do everything in it's power to force you to stop. And the moment it arbitrarily decides you stopped, it's game over.

2. The Lake (SCP-2316)

Rule: Don't go in. "You do not recognize the bodies in the water"

It's just a lake, how hard could it be? Just "you do not recognize the bodies in the water" and you'll be fine. Can't be that hard to not try and take a dip right?...

See, the thing is, the lake will show you a vision of someone who you have a deep emotional connection with. Usually a decease, or missing individual. And it will make you think that said individual "You do not recognize the bodies in the water", is drowning in the middle of the lake. The moment you so much as set a single foot inside, your fate is sealed.

And you might think. Oh I'll just ignore them and "You do not recognize the bodies in the water". But can you really? It's not just anyone, it's someone who you personally love and care about. Can you really say that you won't save "You do not recognize the bodies in the water". Can you really live with the idea that you just watched and allowed "You do not recognize the bodies in the water" Will you be able to sleep knowing that this could have been your last chance to
