SLAMMED! Feels like most headlines are written by 12 year olds these days

Funny how "fatally shot" takes the sting out of "gunned down" or "killed".

I got the glasses with 90 degree prisms in them so you can read while laying down. The person on the product page looked like an idiot and thought it would be funny, but I'm on my 3rd pair now

"Keep an eye out" seems less helpful than "go to this guy's house and take all his guns until he clears a psych evaluation," but what would I know?

I'm sure the supreme court will approach this without bias

This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. I love it

I sure hope that I, Poop Dick, (1-800-HOT-LIPS, poopdick@yourmom.com) am approved to use this glorious seal

I don't remember being asked...

First time I've ever heard of the Overton window. Kind of picked it up with context but if anyone feels like doing further reading

We've had great luck with Bumble BFF. Moved to a new city and was surprised all of our friends fit in our house on my birthday 6 months after moving

r/transtimelines was such a great resource, I miss it dearly over here. Thank you for sharing your journey!

Surely Matt Gaetz will be furious to hear about this

It's shared amongst all oranges, ours is rarely in possession... We love him anyways

This account was 60 seconds old when this comment was made and it's the only comment, no posts.

We built some gas turbines for them at Siemens and trained a few of their people for a new factory we had to build in Riyadh as part of the turbine deal. The individual people we were training were nice enough but it felt like morals just went out the window when the Saudi money showed up.

What a sweet story! Congratulations, I'm so happy for you!

Key point, the pain goes down over time. I think it feels good now, like scratching a deep itch, but I recall holding back yelps when I first tried.

Also, it's never too late. I started at 33

Getting to wake up and pick earrings and a dress is really nice. My first decade and a half or so of gender euphoria was mistook for "that weird kink I can't seem to shake," a.k.a. crossdressing. I think I built a wardrobe of embarrassing crappy Amazon stuff that didn't fit 3 or 4 times and threw it all out when summer came around and I was all "I can just be a normal guy". Lol. Can't count the number of therapist I asked to help me stop but it always came back. The "kink" was actually gender euphoria in disguise. It was one of those slap your forehead "doh" moments when I was sitting around in a dress and just feeling right. Looked at my partner and said "I think I might be trans..." to which they replied "fucking finally!"

I'd agree with MxRemy, it's been a while since laser actually hurt but I do remember it being quite painful in the beginning. Electrolysis is much more drawn out and you have to think about this needle popping in and out of all of your pores and electrocuting you and it still hurts like crazy. It's supposedly permanent but it sure doesn't seem like it from where I'm sitting.

Oh, and also! If you hate seeing hair on your face, laser is the winner because you need to shave where electrolysis requires 3-4 days of growth.

Yeah, I felt this way when I was 32. Felt like the realization that I was trans just slapped me in the face and I knew I'd regret not doing it but also so very terrified. I kept looking at r/transtimelines and seeing the dead looks in most of the before pictures and seeing how they lit up after. I also read some advice somewhere that every step along the way is reversible, up to a point. You can go see a therapist that deals with gender questions. You can go see an endocrinologist. You can walk out of there with a prescription, but you don't have to fill it. You can get it filled, but you don't have to take it. You can take it but you don't have to keep taking it. You won't notice anything for a month or so, so you can feel it out and see what you think.

What really helped me was going to the nearest accepting city (Asheville, NC) and just living the entire visit as my chosen gender. We stayed on a skoolie with a hot tub outside and it was a wonderful trip. I also got all dressed up and spent the day in my hammock on mushrooms and did a lot of soul searching. Everytime I asked myself if I was happy with what I was doing, I felt like I was hugging myself back with gratitude for finally letting Eliza have a chance. That feeling has stuck with me ever since.

And yeah, I started at 33, you're not running out of time. I do wish I realized earlier, but you only get one shot at this life thing and you might as well start living for yourself today.

Once a day if you're on military time

Congratulations! It's a big first step. I was sitting in my patches for a week or two before I started, I was terrified. 4/20 rolled around and I figured what better HRT anniversary could there be, said fuck it, and haven't looked back.

If my years in a technical field have taught me anything, it's that this half-cooked shit sandwich was made by people in sales and management who were all promoted for making the shareholders happy. It's always up to the engineers to slap some shit together that they just learned about yesterday and was needed last week.

We live across a back alley from a hookah bar that was called "A Buck R 2 Lounge". There's a shed in the back where all sorts of ATVs and dirt bikes meet up to terrorize the neighborhood/city, it sounds like we live in the middle of a motocross course. They recently painted the building black with purple trim (as hideous as it sounds) and put a new sign up proclaiming the establishment is now called "Rico's Rush". I wish someone would just burn the place down already, starting with the shed...

Thank you for sharing your story, Ada, I'm so happy for you! Remember it's a marathon for sure and trust the process

Lol not a fan of that at all. if this is hurting your head. I guess all I see is cat because I took the pic

I went over there for a little bit a couple days ago and it looks like business as usual in the comment sections, but the vibe was way off. Felt like I needed a shower after being there

Incredible work!!! Gold star for you!!! ⭐

FELLAS

Yeah, but Trump is medically incapable of not posting insane ramblings with more information than necessary anywhere that will let him, which I believe is the point they were making

But I'm 35... According to this I should've learned about it 5 years ago, what's wrong with me? Am I an abomination?

Howdy, pardner!

The clipped ear is just a TNR (trap and release). But yeah, he had to fight his way to the top!

It seems like there's always another sanction package, why didn't they slap them all on there in the beginning of this whole thing? What's the benefit of holding some back and letting their economy limp along for a bit?

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky could be up your alley. One of the best books I've read in recent memory

Incredible shot!

We stopped there for Meow Wolf which was great in its own right, but we stayed at an AirBnB in Nambe which was turned into a farm and was run by the first woman fire chief of Santa Fe. She made us earrings and gave us goat milk, eggs, and a half loaf of sourdough that she made. Her husband is a Native elder, too. Getting to watch her dance her horse, getting to milk the goats, and learning about her life was possibly the highlight of the whole trip. Also a storm rolled in the night before we left and it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

Thank you so much! It's actually a really short dress from Banana Republic, but of course like 1/4 price from ThredUp
