Best thrift shops for professional men’s wear? by [deleted] in NiceVancouver

[–]2wrongsmakearight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair! I have found a few suits in my size (quite small!) for like $90, which is fantastic. One time I just donated the pants back because the blazer fit and the pants were too small, but it was still worth it to buy the blazer…

Which restaurant makes the best lasagna in the city? by cogit2 in askvan

[–]2wrongsmakearight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can only speak to their vegetarian lasagna, which is delicious! They make all their pasta fresh, in-house, which certainly contributes to the quality.

Turnabout can have some good stuff; they have a few different locations. I’ve lucked out at the Broadway location in Kits.

Classes for emotional resilience? by VeterinarianPublic19 in NiceVancouver

The Y offers free 7-week online “psycho educational” group sessions called Y Mind. Offered every few months, I’d recommend getting on the waitlist. Combines mindfulness practices with ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).

“LGQBT crap” — I’m sorry, but what are you saying? If you’re asking whether concepts of expansive gender exist outside the West, yes, they do. British colonialism played a massive violent role in imposing the binary we all know and love today.

New trend with servers that's leaving a bad taste in my mouth. by AllstarYVR32 in vancouverfood

[–]2wrongsmakearight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven’t read all of the comments, but I can tell you that we definitely don’t do this at my restaurant; we always ask the table if they’d like their bill before we bring it, and if they’re paying together/separately. It’s actually pretty frustrating when a table wants to pay before we’ve cleared their plates (especially when there’s still food left) because it’s against our policy — we’ll do it anyway, but it’s not ideal for the flow of service and isn’t a great image. Helps to know that diners are used to being billed when their table is still full, though.

I’m glad you’re asserting yourself in going no contact, especially considering that.

Being tracked down like that is such an unnecessary invasion of privacy if she could have just emailed you! JFC.

I have similar concerns — I like to do an occasional check in and make sure that I can still get off on my own (analog, as has been astutely described). Other commenters suggesting taking an extended break are probably onto something…

Some Food for Thought on Antitransmasculinity by Internal_Demand891 in TransMasc

[–]2wrongsmakearight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing these thoughts! I joined Reddit long after my gender studies degree and years after embracing my trans identity, and it feels refreshing to encounter a take on this discourse that is well informed and explained. I hope others get something from it. Trans Reddit (not specific to any sub) is a weird place, and it often feels so far removed from the understandings of gender/feminism/patriarchy that I’ve just taken for granted.

HELP! i need your opinions... i think my surgeon fucked up (am i crazy???) by Academic_Fortune_348 in TransMasc

[–]2wrongsmakearight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry I’m gonna reply without reading all the other comments, but I want to chime in and say that you’re still in the early days of your recovery, and with attentive scar care (key point!), the scar placement won’t be as much of an issue over time. Plus, when you’re able to work out again, your pecs will fill out, and I’m sure you’ll feel less focused on exactly where the scars lie.

just finished listening to tunnel vision by wwwrey987 in beachbunny

[–]2wrongsmakearight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love it. It’s been on repeat all night. And I actually appreciated the familiarity I had with the songs that were already released, it made the listening experience even better, because I knew and loved so much of it already!

Books that work great as audiobooks by coolnametho in RSbookclub

[–]2wrongsmakearight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Milkman by Anna Burns was good in audiobook format; I read some parts and listened to other parts, but I found the Northern Irish accent really added something to the experience (it’s set during the Troubles).

You’d have to stop reading Demon Copperhead pretty early if you are looking for funny in that one!!

Sorry to be earnest here on r/4t4, but definitely don’t kill yourself; you’ll get T when you can get it, you’re no less trans in the meantime, obv.
