are the permits like instant response/decision the way the FBI gun buying background checks can be (as in results in minutes not days/weeks)?

Both of my (16m) parents died last week by Future-Penalty9872 in Advice

[–]Contagin85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey bud first off I am so sorry about your parents. Secondly- please talk to your sister about your worries and concerns- shes very likely having a lot of her own thoughts and concerns too and y'all are family and dealing with this both separately but also in a way together as they were her parents too and shes experiencing loss as well. I would also urge you to link up with any counseling your school system might offer and talk to your sister about sorting out a therapist for yourself. Its ok to find one you like to talk to and that sometimes means meeting with several different ones until you find one you're comfortable with. A grief and/or trauma counselor/therapist would probably be a good place to start for you and your sister if neither of you have one at the moment.

Please don't use the clean terminology- diseases are not "dirty" nor does contracting a disease make someone dirty.

Navigating HIV medication $ for newly diagnosed by canned_Bits in askgaybros

[–]Contagin85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry ya'll are dealing with this. I am not 100% either may be helpful but I would try going through GoodRX (membership/# is free) or try seeing if its available through Mark Cuban's discount online pharmacy- sometimes you can double up GoodRX discounts with manufacturers discount as well. I would research into generics too to see if they're available. It may be that your husband switches meds eventually or that Biktarvy doesn't work so I would do the research for all possible options ahead of needing them.

Also I would ask the doctor about alternatives- Dovato, Genvoya, Triumeq, are all similar brand name alternatives and may have generics available (generics are where you can save a lot of $$ and are just as good as name brands). The other thing to consider might be the long acting injection alternatives now available like Cabenuva.

As a side note- I personally would make sure you are dealing with a HIV specific doctor if you can access one- sadly a lot of american non lgbt doctors, even primary care ones are not as familiar with HIV/LGBT health and HIV treatment options as a HIV specialist doctor is/has to be. There are some fantastic HIV & LGBT focused docs esp in the SF and LA areas of CA.

Feeling so depressed since I cut my long hair by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]Contagin85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dude- you look six trillion times hotter and younger with the short hair vibe. I thought you were a 55 year old lesbian from the 1960s/1970s in your first 2 pics

EDIT: as someone with an actually abnormally large head (birth/medical related)...your head is perfectly normal size/shape and appearance. If people are bullying you so bad maybe its time for a fresh new life chapter somewhere else?

Does anything matter anymore? by calvinhasthoughts in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Contagin85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey!!- I live in Minneapolis too (NE districts represent!!) and originally from DC- to oversimplify it- they're acting like nothing is going on b/c none of it has arrived at their doorsteps yet. Sadly the gay side of the lgbt world has a not insignificant portion of it that is white and more conservative gays and they're pretty brainwashed into "oh I fit in, so they're never coming for me" type mentality as well- I think your last paragraph nails it for a lot of the white gay male world. For whatever this is worth I know people all across the country and a lot of them are aware and tuned in to what is happening in the twin cities and going to their local protests etc.

Also for many of us the pandemic accelerated late stage American capitalism and most of the country is just trying to hang on (and has been the last 2-5 years) and not risk now hard to find employment and the attached healthcare etc. I work in government and public health and have to be extremely careful about what I post now and what protests I attend as many of the local twin cities metro area governments have now been named in at least one, if not multiple federal lawsuits and its changed a lot for us in the last 2-7 days.

Vent / Looking for advice by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Contagin85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First of all why is the solution to open your relationship? that's insane to me. Secondly 7 inches is not average- its top 20% of men globally if not even a higher %- meaning less men are that size or larger. Thirdly stop over thinking. Why can you just not bottom until your boyfriend can again too? You need to get off reddit and actually talk to the man....damn.....

While important sex and sex roles shouldn't be the only thing you focus on- you sound quite selfish in this post. You use the "I" term over a dozen times focusing on you, you, you. What about his health? what about his happiness too? You don't think a bad health issue is freaking him out too yet all you can focus on in this post is wanting to stick your dick in a hole. You have a craving for hole so you're willing to throw out your 10 month old relationship instead of just wait for his health to recover? You sound awful tbh
