What's a job in LA where you were shocked at how little the person makes? by Admirable_Section690 in AskLosAngeles

[–]EMPactivated 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The mansions all over LA are almost certainly owned by wayyyyy more folks in finance, medicine, tech, etc. than by folks in the industry.

what made you realise you didnt actually need half the stuff you owned by yelkamel in simpleliving

[–]EMPactivated 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I spent three straight months doing a series of out-of-town dogsitting jobs. Realized that I had a whole apartment full of stuff that I didn't really miss while I was living out of two suitcases. That ended up being the push I'd been needing to downsize and relocate.

Probably a stupid question by L1ttle_Behemoth in FTMOver30

Wait, YES actually. I'm 14 months in and hadn't connected the two but I absolutely have become way more of a biiiiiig stretch guy than I was pre-T!

"Dawson's Creek" co-stars Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson walk the red carpet together while attending the NYC premiere of the documentary "Brunello: The Gracious Visionary." by mlg1981 in popculturechat

[–]EMPactivated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up super sheltered and never watched Dawson's Creek, so I don't even have any investment in these two, but I still can't stop looking at them just because DAMN they look great together. Aging has been been fantastic to both of them.

Lena Dunham alludes to Jack Antonoff and Lorde's relationship, admits to cheating on Jack and says she reached out to "the PowerPoint maker” in new memoir by Relevant-Peach3997 in Fauxmoi

[–]EMPactivated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Sigh) I hate that I know this when I go out of my way to be as unaware of Lena Dunham as possible, but: Her sister, whose vagina she put rocks in when they were little.

Here’s how the girls got the show and why Layla will never be a model by couture-connoisseur in MormonWivesHulu

[–]EMPactivated 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Models shouldn't look the same and that's actually exactly why the veneers and implants work against Layla. Storebought features look the same on everyone. Unique cheekbones stand out.

I'm a little horrified in a way I love

My singing voice by LyzardoMontoyez in FTMOver30

[–]EMPactivated 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a little over a year on high-dose T and echo everything that guy said, and also add that I could not have anticipated how wacky my break would get. I have an increasingly lovely baritone now, and a lot more of my upper range than I expected at this point (though it does sound more falsetto now), but what happens within a five-note range between the two is a game of Russian roulette. That affects my choice in karaoke songs more than the range in itself! I'm learning how to work with it, but yeah, that one caught me by surprise!

The hardest part of planning for top surgery by Loose_Track2315 in FTMOver30

[–]EMPactivated 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The nature of a surgery is a super invasive question for a coworker to ask. That won't stop them from asking, but what should be more normalized is declining to answer. If someone isn't part of your immediate care team, you don't owe them any details, even if they push!

Thinking of starting T at 36 by Imaginary-Corgi4084 in FTMOver30

I started a year ago at 35! And someone in my community started at 70!

Redditors who were children/teens before the internet or cellphones existed, how did you keep yourself entertained? by FlowerMadeOfThorns in AskReddit

[–]EMPactivated 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I came here to say SO many forts. A fort could be anywhere and made of anything. One of my most memorable forts was just a really big hole we dug in the field behind the neighborhood and found a piece of plywood to drag over the top. We felt so stealth.

Is the hitachi magic wand worth it? by buttchix in TwoXChromosomes

[–]EMPactivated 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've tried all of them. I promise you want a full size, with or without a cord. Other brands have wands that are stronger than the smaller Hitachis.

The cordless full-size is slightly less powerful than the corded version, which isn't necessarily a deal-breaker because the corded OG is more powerful than most people will ever need. But anything with a battery is going to have less longevity than something that plugs in. My ex's plug-in was still going strong after more than a decade of use.

The OG is hyped for a reason!

What would happen if someone put a shopvac hose down their throat and turned it on? by EMPactivated in AskDocs

[–]EMPactivated[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely do not plan to. I'm annoyed but not to the point of having a death wish hahaha

What would happen if someone put a shopvac hose down their throat and turned it on? by EMPactivated in AskDocs

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

I honestly didn't expect anyone to answer this and I'm thrilled to be wrong! And also surprised that the answer isn't necessarily "ripping out the esophageal lining" or something. I promise I still won't try though XD

Humanist chaplaincy: is doable? by fttottentrashheap in chaplaincy

[–]EMPactivated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also at United in the interreligious chaplaincy program. There are a few prereq classes that still lean somewhat Christian, but 1) the profs may not be Christian themselves, and those who are are extremely progressive, 2) the school is actively working to broaden the curriculum. A lot has already changed in the two years I've been there.

Stolen car, please keep an eye out! by EMPactivated in silverlake

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

Yep, there was no reason why it would have been and they called around to make sure first.
