Cake day: June 20th, 2023

  • I lived in an apartment complex in my early 20s. Left the car unlocked one night and someone rummaged through it. The only thing they took was my prescription sunglasses. It aggrivates me to think that the moment they tried it they realized it was a prescription and threw em out. $600 just gone to steal something absolutely useless to anyone but me.

    Like bruh.








  • My argument: Bread is leavened and whose basic mixture is flour or meal. (Usually baked, but so are most cakes so I’ll leave this as moot.)

    If a cake can meet those requirements, Yes, it would be a bread.

    Otherwise, it would be a breadlike food. In the cake definition it uses a “breadlike food” probably due to to the latter half of the statement “often unleavened”. This would lead me to presume that most cakes, while breadlike, do not meet the requirements. It’d be more reasonable to make a statement on the majority (breadlike) than minority (Bread).


  • I mostly just avoid mirrors and pictures as a whole and dress really tame so its not super bad. I could definitely use therapy for a multitude of reasons but I struggle to communicate things without prompt and am quite uncomfortable with the idea of sharing very personal stuff with, well, anyone. I do go through phases of erasing myself (as much as one can) from the internet, and from my own devices though.

    I am glad to hear I’m not the only one, though it’s unfortunate others do suffer the same way. I do hope you continue to make progress and have it become a non-issue for you in the future


  • I have never heard of that, I’ll definitely look into it! I was given an ND prognosis many years ago though I did not stay with the practioner long enough after to get a full diagnosis. So it’s possible that plays into it.

    I’ve gotten more accustomed as I age, definitely, comfortable maybe not so much. I am unsure if changing my appearance to closer match would change my affinity towards it, but I suppose that may be answered by looking more into the condition itself. But thank you for a name to start with


  • I may have to look into that to some. I’ve never been good around people, but specifically when they say something it’s much worse.

    Sort of in a similar vein, I don’t like mirrors because it makes me see myself which presents an image that does not match the way I feel I present myself or my internal image of myself. it’s less a matter of attraction or confidence so much as a disillusionment.


  • That’s exactly how I am, I found out most of it came from my no-clear-dominance eyes. Quick reaction type stuff I usually use my right side, slow steady stuff I use my left side. Archery, shooting, writing, all left handed. Throwing, punching, Frisbee, right handed.

    I agree with the unknown comfort with sides when trying something new. Occasionally I’ll even end up questioning if the other side is better when I do a very infrequent task. It’s like I forgot what hand I normally use



  • I believe I’m reasonable (most people would believe this of themselves though). I try to be a respectful person. IDK about “nice” though. I would classify one of my friends as a genuinely wholesome and nice person, whom I envy and look up too. The deficiency between him and myself is why I probably wouldn’t consider myself nice. I hold myself to the standard that I see from him and I’m not there.
