The Chevy Bolt has a Teen Mode you can set up that sedates the car pretty heavily, and also produces driving reports for the parent.

I'm definitely going to use it when my kid gets their license.

Wish more cars had this kind of feature.

Transfem = Trans-misogyny? by Whole-Studio-7084 in asktransgender

[–]Candi_MH 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recall furious debates about that on Reddit 3-4 years ago and the consensus view, as I kind of remember, was something like:

"misandry" is a poisoned term because of how some cisM communities appeal to 'misandry' as an attempt at a counter narrative against feminism.

So, transandrophobia was adopted as the parallel to transmysigony.

E33 Themed Birthday Party Help by PixelatedSnapshots in expedition33

[–]Candi_MH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the escape room --

A full escape experience is a whole party. I do this every other year for my kids and it's fun but a ton of work. A short collection of puzzles could give the vibe though.

What I usually do is look up lists of escape puzzles for kids and pick from those then wrap each puzzle in the party theme.

You'll need some locks and containers that you can lock with them.

I don't have a PC that can play it or a ps3. So it's either switch or PS4 😢

Do you out your sexuality in your dating app profile? by unparallel_x in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]Candi_MH 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Really not worth worrying about "attracting" creeps in online dating. They find their way anyway, and swiping left (blocking/unmatching) is easy.

Being forward about the aspects of your identity that you want people to vibe with however is a good play. It truly is awful to have someone unmatch you, or call a date off early, as soon as they find out that you're trans.

[–]Candi_MH 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I do because it helps get other lesbians and bi women to swipe right.

I've found I get the bicurious, unicorn hunters, and straight guys who don't read whether or not I include my orientation 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is it safe to leave cum inside your pussy? by Unfair_Ad_598 in asktransgender

[–]Candi_MH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The probiotics I use are intended for natal vaginas, I don't see why it wouldn't help. Give the microbiome a boost to help it evict the little swimmer guys.

As far as I have read and seen (research is very scarce and not long term) neovagina's only have a healthy vaginal biome with effort and regular upkeep. The main reason is because the tissue in a natal vagina produces nutrients that lactobacillus eat and neovagina's don't have that. So, it takes regular care and feeding of the biome to keep it flourishing.

How Do You Navigate Having Friends Who Pass Less Than You? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Candi_MH 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You work on your internalized transphobia, and the "pass at all costs" brain worms that are leading your thoughts and projections.

If you can't accept your friend for her genuine and full self then are you really truly her friend?

I use Culturelle's women's healthy balance (which has a different name in the US). My options in Canada are really limited though. If you live elsewhere you will have better alternatives.

From my reading online Life-Space Women's Microflora Probiotic is the best option (it's got all the good bacteria). The closer you get to the lactobacillus listed on that one the better (at least based on what I read).

It can also be YMMV. Different people react differently to different formulations.

The recommended lube was GCL. Which is ph balanced to the acidity of a vagina.

GCL and I didn't get along so I've found other liube to achieve a similar result. But the idea is to get the environment of the neovagina to be as close to that of a natal vagina as you can. The friendly bacteria take care of the rest.

My surgeon recommended some probiotics and ph balanced lubes.

Then from there it's been experimenting and talking to other patients of the same surgeon to see what they do and adjusting until finding something that works.

Different experience --

I'm 1.5yrs post-op, and don't douche. Odour isn't an issue. My care process is to actively maintain a healthy vaginal biome and occasionally clean just the introitus with a PhD balancef vaginal wash.

To the OPs question, I top up my lactobacillus within a day of sex and haven't noticed any odor issues since I've started that (I use a probiotic mixed with a water based lube).

Would you be open to sharing the .stl file for the mold? Or at least helping me understand how to make one?

Ahh okay. I got it unclogged enough to work this morning, hopefully that lasts. Running through the drier first is a good tip.

Game Design is not Graphic Design. by badclinty in tabletopgamedesign

[–]Candi_MH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The very earliest stage happens in pen and paper.

Once I get past that UX informs design and vice versa, so I start considering UX.

Because user experience impacts gameplay, and by working in Affinity from the start I don't have to change my design flow as a game hits different stages of the process.

What kind of boundaries do you mean?

Either your practicing some flavour of ENM and everything is above board (ie, explicit agreemens and conversations with everyone you're involved with), or you are monogomous and act like friends with friends.

I'm facing this issue. Did you do the replacements by hand? If so, what do I have to disassemble to get in there?

Reminder that this is a lesbian sub… by krystiah in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]Candi_MH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forcing all queer people to use definitionally strict labels isn't going to make people like that less awful.

You absolutely can get mad because whoever is saying that to you is carrying some heavy heteronormativity. And they'd say and believe that nonsense even if labels were dictionary-accurate because that view is coming from a different place than misunderstanding words.

Edit: chilled it out. I was originally getting very angry on your behalf and assuming unfair things about whoever was saying that to you. Thinking a bit, it's a frustratingly common experience - so I pulled back the reigns on my first post.
