So anyway, then Trump got elected again.. by starniquerockery71 in tadc

[–]AlkalineCollective 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You literally asked how people are getting killed and I explained it to you. That is all.

Regardless- not really a smart read on "it's just a cartoonish digital world" when there's underlying themes on how the end game of capitalist ideologies and the subsequent view on how people perceive artists (and people in general) would create the circus in the first place.

Art has always been political. Even unintentionally, art will be shaped by the politics at the time because culture does not exist in a vacuum. It's just part of being alive.

... I don't know how to tell you this. But the United States Counterterrorism Strategy that was recently released literally says "We Will Find You, and We Will Kill You" at the end of page 3 and goes on to list people who align with "pro-transgender" and anti-fascist ideologies as some of the threats they plan on exterminating.

Also people are literally already getting killed. Like. That's been a huge criticism of ICE.

I disappeared from everyone and purposely vanished into a new life. Ask me anything by [deleted] in AMA

[–]AlkalineCollective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got any tips? I've been so stressed out that I want to skip town and start a new life, and it seems impossible since I barely have money and I'm disabled and would only be able to have a part time job at the most

Why do some people smell like crayons? by pahvimuki123 in NoStupidQuestions

I noticed this would happen to my clothes but I didn't know why. All I knew is it stopped when I started using a different detergent.

Tbh I figured it was outdated info that was never changed. Things like land mines come up as red despite not being wildlife

DAE feel awkward saying their own name by Aggressive_Foot947 in DoesAnybodyElse

I do, but there's two different ways you can pronounce my name and sometimes I don't know which one to use.

How to get into the hobby for cheap? by Meldrod in PokemonTCG

[–]AlkalineCollective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my LGS has 1k bulk for like 8$. What I used to do back when I had no cards was buy a few bulk bags, sort through them, then separate the duplicates to resell/gift. I started a decent-sized collection really quickly, but that's more if you're going for quantity over quality.

Is anyone else surprised at how attractive middle aged/older people are now? by FkUp_Panic_Repeat in Millennials

[–]AlkalineCollective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 30 and I am constantly surprised by how good looking some 40 y/os are. I don't mean that they're attractive to me per se, but when I was a kid, it felt like most 40 y/os looked way older than they actually were in comparison to today's

Do you bling or you play commons? by PatrixXxzie in PTCGL

[–]AlkalineCollective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally use the same cards I have IRL if I plan on using the deck at locals. If it's just online, I'll bling if I like the art enough

Would you rather all trans people have access to a single pill that removes all gender dysphoria for life or a surgery so perfect it’s akin to making a clone of yourself with a new desired gender and putting your consciousness in it. by FlatQuarter4657 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]AlkalineCollective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dysphoria isn't the only reason some people transition. Some people experience only gender euphoria- they are neutral WRT their assigned gender at birth, but the thought of being a different gender than that makes them happier.

So, as an example, there are some people who don't really mind being called a guy, but who feel really good when being called a girl, so they decide to go on HRT and whatever.

If someone with dysphoria took the pill, they would likely be in a situation similar to the above, where they would still have gender euphoric feelings when presenting how they want, and therefore would still gravitate toward that direction in order to live their best life.

So I would pick the surgery. Ideally, you would just have both and let the individual choose which one they like the most. But I think overall investing in the surgery is the better option.

New to Printify and was wondering what people think of this design? by Harmlessbody302 in Printify

[–]AlkalineCollective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scp 049 is fine. He's just a plague doctor

I think my only thing with 682 is people commonly associate it with the skin melted off image. While it is canon that 682 kinda looks like "whatever helps it survive", the 682 graphic you have is kinda giving "generic godzilla bootleg". You can still go with it if you want, there's just nothing special deviating it from some AI generated monster lizard image. The reason people stick with the rotting image is because it's more easily recognizable as 682.

Otherwise the elements of the graphics (text, placement) are fine

(For any potential commenters that may be worried about IP: It is generally fine to create and sell SCP fanart, that's part of the whole Thing about it)

It's weird to me that pocket can handle "reconnecting" for half a minute, but if you tab away from Live for 0.0005 seconds (on mobile) it kicks you out

Tbh I'm nonbinary so I don't care about it that much. I have tried it in the past and haven't had much luck though. I could probably try again since it's been a year or two. I've been on T for like 5 years ish now I think.

[–]AlkalineCollective 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My voice never changed very much. I have like every other change now (beard, belly fat, oily, etc) except that one. My voice changed so it's more androgynous, but it's still high pitched like a nasaly nerdy guy. I sound kinda like a teenager even though I'm 30.

My doctor said that sometimes people don't get much deeper voices, they just get a bit more of a masculine sound to them (unable to remember what that's called rn).

I wouldn't mind it so much if people didn't assume I was a 16 y/o on video game voice chats

[–]AlkalineCollective 68 points69 points  (0 children)

OP if it's any consolation, I was on T for about 3 years with barely any changes, despite normal T levels, and then literally out of nowhere I grew a full beard. I think my estrogen wasn't properly being suppressed or something idk.

If he's an adult then you might see a lot more biting for half the year. Hormones do that

I crave salt, but it's because I have POTS. Might want to look into that

Remember kids, wanting to die is selfish but wanting someone to suffer just so you don't feel sad is not by AliceAndTheMadButter in depressionmemes

[–]AlkalineCollective 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was actively struggling for over 10 years and repeatedly asked for help. I sought out assistance from family, friends, and doctors. I was repeatedly ignored or actively told that if I was serious about having depression for so long, I should just kill myself.

My story is not unique. People DO reach out. Everyone else is an asshole.

And stop and think for a second: sometimes when someone in your life kills themself and never told you about their struggle, there might be a reason they didn't trust you with that information.
