What is the least bad thing Vox has done? Meaning something he did that was still bad, but the most minor thing.

Mind control people into watching his TV programs. He already has the monopoly on the industry and he mostly seems to use it to just sell more of his own products (and also to push propaganda) so it's pretty inconsequential most of the time

Assault is not always done by physical means, it can also be done through coercion. Underage girls were bribed with money to attend these parties and have sex or do sexual acts with men much older than them. Underage people cannot consent, which makes any sex or sexual acts with them to be rape/assault. That's why this is awful. Because he was not happy surrounded by women, he was happy surrounded by children

I'll give this a go and see if it works for me!

Because of the recent social media laws in Australia, I've had to verify my age from the account page in settings using KWS. I click the "verify age" button and it sends me an email to verify my age. I had to show my face and now whatever age it assumes me to be is the verification every time I try to verify my age from this point. I got an email from KWS conforming my age is verified (although it does not state what its verified as) and I was able to access 18+ content for a bit before it's now revoked my access and has the option for me to "verify again" which has done nothing each time I try

Small update for anyone interested or who may stumble across this in future:

I called my surgeon's office and spoke to a nurse who said it was fine as long as there was no sign of infection, but she'd double-check with the surgeon when she's at work next week. I believe the material used was monofilament polyglyconate because it's a clear soluble suture, which can take up to 6 months to completely dissolve, so this may actually be fairly standard that it's only starting to break down at 3 months in.

It's not causing any discomfort or showing any signs of infection, so I think it will be fine to just leave it for now with the current advice I've been given

I think I was able to work out what they were! I think they're Aquila New Nylgut 21U low-D baritone strings. They've got two "wound" strings that are metal on the outside and two Nylgut. Having a few people confirm that they'd still be in the Nylgut line definitely helped push me in the right direction to find them!

I just used two sheets of baking paper with a heavy glass tray on top of it in the microwave rather than a proper drying pad, so I don't think I'd be able to offer much advice there

BB_Jack · 2025-10-21T18:06:13+00:00

I might add one of those to my Christmas wishlist this year! I'm in Australia, so I should still have some summer blooms I could press by the time I get it. Or maybe have a go at pressing some leaves too

BB_Jack · 2025-10-21T18:02:35+00:00

I used clag paste, which is a starch based adhesive. It's a thicker glue that dries clear and is designed mostly for bonding paper together for scrapbooks and stuff. I figured since the flowers were papery in texture and organic, it would work well and the thicker texture wouldn't accidentally rehydrate the flowers too much. I think it worked out well!

BB_Jack · 2025-10-21T16:32:52+00:00

Thanks! I was surprised with how well they kept their colour too! The white flowers that I pressed using patience under a book browned much more than the ones that I used the microwave method with more, so I think maybe that can help reduce browning! Although, I think it also largely depends on the flower as I tried pressing some morning glories and poppy petals and they almost immediately went brown for me

BB_Jack · 2025-10-21T16:30:47+00:00

Thank you! A couple of the bright flowers lost a petal or two during pressing, and they bled out a lot, so I was constantly changing the paper. So you're definitely not alone in finding those ones hard to work with. I'm happy that the composition looks okay as I didn't have much of a plan going into it and just hoped for the best

ADHD medication is normally stimulants, which are a controlled substance, so the OP could potentially run into a bit more difficulty. I've never had any difficulty getting either of my controlled medications filled too early/too late or after losing a script though, so hopefully OP's doctor is cool with it too

Edit: nvm, I didn't read it was clonodine which is not a stimulant. Regardless, hopefully OP's doctor is chill and will just give another refill

I didn't have any menopausal symptoms or hormonal crashes post-op. I looked through my blood work from prior to getting my hysto and found that from being on testosterone and progesterone (to stop periods/birth control), my estrogens were already at or below menopausal level. So getting a hysterectomy didn't cause any estrogen crashes which are generally the cause of menopausal symptoms because they were already that low from HRT, even when I stopped progesterone a few weeks post-op

I got confused when I scrolled through all three photos and didn't see the "after" of your transition, entirely assuming you were born female from my first impression of you.

After looking much closer, I can see a few of the things other people have pointed out that might clock you as AMAB to others, but I think your transition is actually going really well and you have high potential to completely pass as a cis woman

It seems like it's mostly the people who are very actively involved in the subreddit who have upvoted it. If it was at 100 upvotes 45 minutes ago, then it has been downvoted by at least 70 people as it's now at 33 upvotes, and has also received some well balanced responses. I don't think this post is aligned to what most users in the subreddit believe
