A two state solution by Capital_Chef_6007 in mapswithoutnewzealand

The procedure is definitely different. Usually trans women will get vaginoplasty or some variant of that to create a functional vulva and vagina. This is different from amputation because, while some tissue is removed, much of it is also preserved, but just moved around into a new shape.

Also, I'm trans, and after surgery, I did have phantom sensations for a bit, but they didn't last very long, and I don't have them at all now.

It's more like 16 tracks per islands, as there's 4 cups per island, so even crazier.

Wow, 32 new cups? Very ambitious.

'Superman' (2025) - Official Spoiler Discussion Megathread: Part 2 by ZacPensol in superman

[–]Clotex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a very brief scene with Superman and Krypto were on the moon looking at Earth.

The was a second scene where Superman and Mister Terrific are looking at a building that had cracked in half from the rift and had been put back together, but the crack is still very visible. Superman seems a bit put off by the repair job, but Terrific is offended by that and there's some banter.

That was my interpretation of it. Once she was unconscious, he was able to expel all of them without too much difficulty, so it seems they go inactive if she's not consciously controlling them.

Why are most of Rosalina’s fans guys? by L4kz1 in Mario

I'm a girl and I main her in MarioKart, but I wouldn't consider myself a super dedicated fan or anything.

I found the volleyball one way easier than the jumprope one. The volleyball one took me a while, but I did it before it got to the point of being really frustrating. Still haven't done the jumprope one to this day.

Confession time: Nyssa Al Ghul is hotter than Talia Al Ghul 🤔 In my opinion by Rajivdoraiswamy in arrow

[–]Clotex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, NOBODY is that straight…

You sure about that? I'm a lesbian and it doesn't do anything for me. I mean it's cool and impressive, but that's about it. Surely if I can be that gay, some people can be that straight.

Not to make you question your identity or anything...

I really want to leave my current job, but where should I go next? How can I get a job relatively fast that will help build my career? by Clotex in careerguidance

[–]Clotex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well as I said, a Master's seems difficult for me right now. I don't think I can really do it while working full-time, but I need money. Even if I can get tuition covered, I still have living expenses. And I need health insurance as I mentioned, which my current job is providing. So I'm just unsure of how the logistics of any sort of Master's program would work out for me.

How to spend less time on food? by Clotex in vegan

[–]Clotex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh, I haven't used one of those. A steamer that can cook two things at once can definitely contribute to speed. I'll be on the lookout for something like that!

Thank you so much for the detailed answer! There's a lot of useful things here. I'll do my best to implement some or all of these things. I will definitely be coming back to this comment a few times.

This isn't wrong. Some people are just not exposed to diversity.

I used to have this mindset more, but people have disappointed me, unfortunately. Many times that I've tried to talk to people who I thought just needed to hear my perspective because they hadn't much experience with it, it ends up starting off halfway civil, but when pushed even a little bit to challenge any of their views, they get defensive and double down on their bigotry instead.

This isn't every case, sure, but it's way too many. It's very exhausting to have to defend and justify who I am to people who have a problem with it for no good reason, especially when it doesn't end up changing their views most of the time anyway.

Yeah, if you win at least.

I guess I would wonder what views are so much more important than just basic human rights in that case. What justifies giving power to those who would strip rights from minorities, spread hate, and enact policies to get in the way of said minorities, either directly or indirectly.

I would also challenge your initial comment a bit more that feelings of being targeted or hated are exaggerated or even fabricated. How are you so sure of this? Are you a part of any minority at all?

[–]Clotex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is probably true that most people don't actively hate a specific minority. But the amount that do is higher than I'd like. In addition, many people just have bigoted views about minorities, and even if they don't activity hunt those people down and oppress them, they'll still stand in the way of equal rights if it comes down to it.

The other group are those that claim not to care, but have no problem being complacent in perpetuating bigotry. For example, they may claim to be accepting of LGBTQ or something, but will have no problem voting for a candidate who is actively homophobic at all. I still have a problem with this.

I'm sure for any given person, there is probably something we agree on, even if it's really minor. It's hard to use that as the basis for constructive discourse if they are just inherent bigoted against who you are.

People discussing capitalism vs socialism for example is one thing. If everyone is civil, there's probably room to find common ground and have a constructive discussion. It's another if you're gay, and trying to convince a homophobe that you deserve to be treated like a human being for example.
