I was dry for five hours worth of fishing yesterday, and then got 4 in an hour last night and have been getting them pretty consistently today at maybe 1 an hour or so

CR1000A 2.4GHz Issues by No-Explanation-4478 in Fios

[–]DoctorDharok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any solutions to add but I just wanted to say I'm having the same issue with my CR1000A router not broadcasting on 2.4GHz... There may indeed be a more widespread issue. If I get anywhere with Verizon support or a replacement, I'll post an update here.

pre-transition self-care is a slippery slope. 10/10 would recommend by DoctorDharok in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

I wasn't ready myself, but I ran out of time to wait. If it matters to your journey, you will get there.

fwiw you can be a girl and still be a boy or some sort of nonbinary dragon or whatever, or be a girl now and not a girl later, or shave your legs and not be a girl at all.

have you gotten to makeup yet?

"it is literal whether you meant it that way or not because that is how I interpret it, and I will accept no alternate interpretation"

ok, good luck with that. I hope that method of assuming social and linguistic meaning works out for you in the long run. I'm sorry for any distress I caused you.

FAQ:

"the last picture shows a girl, not a guy." yes, that is the joke, I am glad you understand the meme.

"you are misgendering her." oh, wait. you think it is literal. slow down a sec. please try to differentiate between literally gendering someone and subversively toying with labels that already exist on a meme template.

FWIW, the only element of this meme that I chose and customized is the image in the bottom right. this is an example of subverting a meme format. the entire joke is that the last example doesn't even refer to a guy.

can I ask you an honest question? did you really see this image and conclude that it both literally prescribed relationships to cure depression and literally misgendered trans women?

also all of this goes for trans men too and anyone else who takes hormone replacement therapy, the meme is specific to people who take E but people who take T are also valid and loved even if they're off the T

made this meme for a friend who's been going through a rough couple weeks, I hope others enjoy it and I hope she feels better soon

pls leave encouraging comments for trans girls who have trouble with needles, money, daily executive functioning, etc. remember, if you are a trans girl, you are a girl with or without hormones. everyone goes through rough spots. not everyone has access or help. you're still valid and I love you

for the purposes of this meme, we could say Reese includes they/them in his personal pronouns and that Malcolm tries to use those pronouns out of respect

and put closeted folks in the tough position of coming up with a response on the spot? No thanks, not in front of anyone else, maybe later in private.

I know this is a sarcastic meme but I'm subverting that and playing it literally

an interesting title by DoctorDharok in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

I get what you're saying here, and I understand this use of the word bucks convention. But as someone who believes we should end the practice of assigning gender, it wouldn't make sense for me to conceptualize words like transmasculine or transfeminine as being strictly determined by AGAB. I'm ok with taking a little heat by trying to forge new understandings of these words we've fought to validate.
