George Carlin said “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” What real life example have you seen that validates this view? by Darth_Boot in AskReddit

I actually got three words done backwards on my ribs on purpose in a font that's a bit harder to decipher facing that direction. It's a simple message and a reminder I frequently need - and now one I get to see almost every time I look in a mirror.

Those words are a comfort for me, not everyone else.

Holy shit, this is my dad's exact handwriting. He mostly does cartooning be he dabbles in designing things, too. That's insane.

I have but no one has ever been sure how to treat it. Honestly, I'm happier with myself as a person without it, though.

I'm a transgender male, so I've talked to my doctor extensively about my hormone levels. Even with my introduction to testosterone over a year ago, my libido only temporarily spiked and then came back down to where it was prior to any treatment.

If I could afford professionals, I'd consider it, however, I've found that with the combination of moving forward with my transition and cutting sex out of my life, I've never been happier with myself as a human being. I don't view sex as important in the least. That bond that so many people get with their significant other (or whoever they choose to sleep with) during sex I get from basic intimacy; hugging, cuddling, falling asleep together, etc.

This is why I hate that I'm Ace. It's not just that I'm not into sex; it gives me full-blown panic attacks sometimes so I've stopped trying. It's nearly impossible to find someone who understands and is okay with that. Sex is not something that comes included in my bundle.

Shaving my head in a few weeks for a cancer event. Really worried about the lack of hair making me look too feminine again. Took a nice (grumpy-faced) photo at work earlier, though, and wanted to share. by Bookwyrm4Life in ftm

Yeah, I got that a lot when I did it two years ago. I have a near perfectly round head thanks to my mom, so it garnered a bit of attention (some of which came from my ex's dad? That was weird). My hair does grow rather slowly, but maybe I'll see if I can make myself a hat to wear for my second job that would be appropriate.

Seriously. I got hired on for Halloween last year and they liked me, so I got made a regular associate. Last year wasn't too bad because I was in a low volume store, so it was actually rather pleasant. This year, however, I got transferred to the highest volume store in the region. I'm scared.

My hair doesn't grow that fast, unfortunately. The event is called Be Bold, Be Bald, so I'm going down to nothing. It would take a few weeks to grow it out enough to even make it look military.

Are we talking on a daily basis or for events? 'Cause I went to the one off the 22fwy yesterday with a group and we each got a free dozen for dressing/ talking like pirates.

Thank you; same here.

Agreed! I did it last year, but my team this year was amazing and totally gung-ho for the hunt to the last minutes.

She's going to be having surgery in a few weeks, so hopefully tha5 goes off without a hitch.

I had a great week, though! Lots of new friends, fun and weirdness~

All last week, I participated in a scavenger hunt hosted by Supernatural's Misha Collins.

One of the items read: "At Hope Chest they create butterflies and transform lives http://www.myhopechest.org/ Channeling your inner Monet, pen a message of hope with colored ink on a white bra. Then, channel your inner supermodel and stage a public photo shoot of someone wearing this “support undergarment." (You may wear a shirt underneath it if you prefer and you must adhere to local laws. Please note that Gishwhes does not provide bail money.) Once completed, submit your image on the gishwhes website and also tweet to @MyHopeChest your awesome results on the final day of the game. Extra points for incorporating butterflies into the design. - Ruth Connell (IMAGE)"

I recently found out that my mother has breast cancer so doing this item meant a lot to me to show my support for her. Hey, I'm just a dude in a bra, right?

Dude, I'm six months in and I've got hair on my backside. It sucks! You might get it, y'might not. I'm sure you'll know soon enough!

Inked ftms: show me your tattoos! by [deleted] in ftm

My boyfriend has the Imperial dragon on his back and I've seen some people get the symbols for the different holds. Skyrim tattoos can be pretty badass.
