Even worse is JIS, where it seems that its explicit and singular goal was to make a screw that would be instantly obliterated the moment a Phillips driver touched it. Fun fact, JIS drivers work far better on Phillips than Phillips drivers do, and I’ve yet to strip one since using JIS drivers almost exclusively

“I’m going to the one place that hasn’t been ruined by capitalism… SPACE”

Part of me feels like they wanted heroin and oxycodone replaced with the far more lethal fentanyl for the purpose of punishing the “wicked junkies” but that’s somewhat of a conspiracy theory.

I mean, there’s a reason crack cocaine was so prolific and associated with negative outcomes in black communities… It’s reasonable that a similar strategy might be used again in that same manner.

That’s not even horrifically expensive in most cities. I’ve seen people pay $20/shot at some bars.

Idk, while I obviously try to appreciate everyone’s experiences and don’t like making broad statements, it can be hard to not feel that way when literally every femboy I’ve met eventually transitioned, myself included…

That’s not to say it’s a great take, but it’s definitely understandable why people would feel that way. Especially since for me personally, it was very much a coping mechanism for being trans.

Again not trying to invalidate anyone’s experiences, just kinda venting my own personal thoughts/feelings on the matter.

What are her takes on femboys?

They’re tied to the same thing, because they think women are weak and pathetic, thus need protection (so they’re the ones who get to abuse them instead).

He did it purely to spite the actual founders of Tesla, whose car that was supposed to be. There was a long legal battle over the first cars off the line, and because Musk has always been a giant pissbaby, he decided to send it into space as a “There, now no one can have it” move.

I mean, there’s a reason there’s literally an entire famous game series that’s a satire of Japan’s messed up law system.

The stupid thing is that even this isn’t necessarily the case. Even in countries that have public healthcare, there are still private options for those who want “fancier” care. The true statement is that they would only be able to rip off the wealthy, instead of everyone in the country.

If there’s a small, low-res image on my phone, it now asks if I want to upscale it, and tends to have this kind of “soft” effect to it.

Can confirm. Saw a classmate with her GF and got very jealous, despite having my own GF at the time. Turns out I was jealous of the wrong thing.

I live on the edge of urban/suburban in a small city and absolutely love it. 10 minutes to bike into downtown, tons and tons of businesses and job opportunities, and just a much better community atmosphere. Anytime I go into more suburban/exurban areas, it’s downright depressing at this point knowing that it takes 5 minutes in a car to get to literally anything that’s not another identical house.

Unfortunately, it isn’t. He’s the real dude, as described, and that’s exactly what he looks like

In a recent 2024 study:

…between 2000 and 2019. Over 75 % of all married children in each state were girls. Girls married men who were an average of 4 years older than they were, and the age gap was substantially larger when girls married than when boys married.

The interesting thing I’ve discovered from most cis women is that the “boymoding” hoodie/sweater is an insanely common thing when going through puberty. Growing boobs is awkward as hell, even if it’s expected of your AGAB, so covering them up during that early period is just kind of normal.

Honestly, it’s super fun to chat with a lot of my cis friends and find out how much overlap there is with trans puberty and cis puberty.

If you have braces you really should have a water flosser. I’m kind of surprised your ortho didn’t recommend one, as mine made it a requirement

At the time they were red.

I literally just started watching vids on YouTube and going along. Like, there really is such a huge wealth of info out there, it’s worth just finding a set of videos you like and sticking to it.

It’s awesome that one of the best features of my TV, “Find my remote” has been completely broken. Paid extra for the fancy Bluetooth remote and everything, and now it’s completely worthless. Every time I ask, I get “Sorry, I’m not set up to do that” despite it being something that I’ve been doing the past 5 years without issue
