the problem i've always had with asking for constructive criticism is that whoever decides to critique my work suddenly becomes the world's foremost authority on art and gives me a lot of criticism without pointing out anything that they liked or offering ways to improve. i say "critique my work", they hear "make me feel bad for creating this".

@badgraph1csghost I've kinda had that issue as well. Granted, I'm sensitive as all hell and even the rudest constructive criticism has the potential to be helpful if it's at least given in good faith. However, there definitely are people our there who use it as a bad-faith cudgel to tear people down.

re: 30, it sounds like your asexuality is pretty similar to mine. I consider myself aegosexual, i.e. I only find sex enjoyable/appealing when it's third-person, fictional fantasies or scenarios, esp. in drawn or written smut. Otherwise, real-life or self-involved sex seems so boring, if not outright repulsive. It seems paradoxical, but I felt very vindicated to learn that a lot of aspec people experience this.

unfortunately i feel like i'm too young to know my orientation - i did a lot of digging into it and i can't really seem to find concrete answers. i keep flipflopping between pan and ace in my head. probably ace in reality but i like to be in denial because comedy

for some reason, the bullet points on my blog post won't fit inside the window body no matter how i adjust the width. it was fine in the live preview, very weird.

Instead of doing li tags, you could just attach bullet points as Unicode characters to the text of your messages. That'd get the same visuals but avoid anything weird with HTML indentation. (also, do you have an answer to my webdav question or were you just liking the post? I'm not sure how to parse liking-without-commenting on question posts.)

You might be able to do something like p::before, but just putting your "bullet points" into the text of your HTML proper should definitely work, and it's not like anybody's going to not have Unicode support. (and if you're really worried about it, you can locally load the font.)

Re: the April 3rd update (I think your profile was disabled at the time), subvocalizing is imo the best way to read for actual enjoyment, for the exact reasons you say: you need to hear the author speaking in your head to really feel what they're communicating. The people who are against it are all deep in the speed-reading world, which I'm sure has advantages for certain types of reading, but...

…you shouldn’t let them make you feel bad. Also, I relate to that weird loneliness that comes after spending a long time with someone. I feel it less now that I have a girlfriend who is always here when I come home, but when she goes on business trips it’s weird how desolate it suddenly feels here. Writing definitely helps — it feels like planting seeds for future connections and communications

relatable, it feels like making friends is pointless to me because there's always this time when they disappear and i'm just... back how it was before i even met them. it's llike it's entirely pointless if they're not going to be t here for me 100% of the time

@niicespiice Yeah, people coming and going is really difficult. I don’t personally find it pointless if somebody eventually leaves though. Painful? Very. But I’m usually grateful to have had the connection, though I’ve had some really bitter endings

should i do a sitemap page? i don't think i have too many pages, but it could be nice to provide some descriptions. granted a lot of the page names are self explanatory

Such good advice for writing fanfic in here. Or, really, writing anything. It has to hold your interest and you need to cut yourself some slack in order to be truly creative. I've read some stuff where the author had clearly given up and was just barfing words onto the page. Not fun.
