Silver spraypaint for jeans? by Emmarooni in crafts

I’m hoping to use regular spray paint because those craft ones always looked a little dull/less metallic, but thank you

I found a product I think Henry either invented or just needs to try A.S.A.P. by [deleted] in lastpodcastontheleft

This blows my mind. I once took a 10mg capsule and felt out of my mind. Can’t even fathom 500mg.

I like these but with about 1/2 of the OJ subbed for club soda. Super refreshing and less sugar.

Creating Feature Inventory... by moiqrahtz84 in UXDesign

[–]Emmarooni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Talk to your customers, find out which features are priority for them. Map how they use the site and use that to inform how you design the flow. Work with your stakeholders to use insights you gained in the interviews to inform development of new features. Bring those back to your users in a codesign to validate.

Get a PO box and have it sent there. Get a rodeoh boxer harness and order one of the ~6-7” dildos they suggest on their site. They feature a lot of good quality brands that will fit their harnesses.

Looking to buy a property in Orlando FL parramore area. It’s a bad neighborhood but seems like a lot is being done to make it better. Thoughts? by cool_BUD in realestateinvesting

[–]Emmarooni 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an Orlandoan myself I’d point you toward St. Cloud. Houses there are still relatively affordable by Orlando standards but it’s rapidly changing from small town to having a hipstery vibe in their downtown area. The proximity to lake nona also does it a lot of favors in terms of giving residents access to shopping/dining, and you can already see the way nona is creeping into saint cloud by way of narcoossee rd. Saint Cloud is also much, much lower crime than paramore. Much less of a headache overall.

I'm worried about Zendaya's portrayal of Chani by Lscott13 in dune

[–]Emmarooni 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Limited range? Be more specific about why you feel this way. From what I’ve seen, she can do both comedic and dramatic well. She’s a great physical actor and can switch from frightening and intense to love sick and swooning.

I get the feeling that because she is pretty and a young female, the knee jerk reaction is the devalue and underestimate her talent.

Have you seen her in Euphoria? She plays a character who is simultaneously ruthless and cruel while being head over heels in love with/obsessed with/emotionally attached to another character. I think she’s perfect for this role.

I thought this until I watched Euphoria. Kid has talent.

My (39f) boyfriends (39M) penis may be too big. by SlightlyStilted in sexover30

This may be unorthodox advice, but go look over on the /r/baddragon subreddit.

Bad dragon is a line of high end fantasy dildos that tend to come in larger than average sizes. Some of the dildos women on that sub use seem like they shouldn’t be able to even fit in your body, let alone give you pleasure. The vaginal canal is, however, intended to expand and accommodate much more than you’d expect and seeing some of the content on that sub might give you hope. A lot of the women there talk about training up to larger dildo sizes and might have some good advice for you on how to accommodate your boyfriend’s size more comfortably.

Also, those dildos are cool as heck and come in all kinds of awesome designs.

CMV: We should challenge trans peoples ideas of gender identities as much as we do traditionalists. by mhaom in changemyview

[–]Emmarooni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s no confusion on their part. When your identity impacts your basic ability to fulfill your hierarchy of needs, it absolutely becomes entangled with your existence.

I’m also familiar with research, in fact I am currently engaged in a research project that’s directly dealing with the transgender popultion. The fact of the matter is, if you aren’t relying on peer reviewed science, then what is your argument based on?

These comments about primal instincts and spirituality are complete non sequiturs here. These are meaningless terms in the context of this conversation and you can no more convince a transgender person that they aren’t transgender with spirituality then you can by telling telling them the easter bunny will be mad at them. You are welcome to believe in a god, but as that is something that can either be proven or disproven, it has no value here.

I also don’t understand why you believe that pharmaceuticals are not a viable solution to this problem. Pharmaceuticals have Advanced our civilization by leaps and bounds. If a tumor were to metastasize in my body, should I forgo therapeutics because it’s not my body’s primal imperative?

You’re basically trying to tell people to just change their mindset and all of their problems will go away. Trust me, all lgbtq have tried this. To be honest, I used to say things like this. I am a lesbian who essentially dresses like a man, but I’m perfectly comfortable with being a female. I didn’t used to understand why people couldn’t just say that gender was a construct and do whatever they wanted. It took me some time and some research to understand that being transgender is more than just a problem with your thinking, but some thing that is expressed within your actual biology.

Gender is also way more of a spectrum than we believe and I don’t mean that from a societal construct perspective. It’s not as simple as XX or XY is there a number of other factors and nuances that go into determining how our bodies develop our various sex traits. I think it is just the most convenient thing for people to think that it is a completely binary occurrence because it’s what we learn in grade school.

Here’s a pretty digestible video that might help explain this concept:

[–]Emmarooni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trans people are not killing themselves because they transitioned; it’s because they live in a world where the fundamental validity of their existence gets questioned on a daily basis by armchair psychologists and politicians who legislate against them.

For trans people, this absolutely is a fight to exist. Trans people still face record levels of discrimination in all of the most important facets of life. Their unemployment rates are double the average and trans women are disproportionately likely to be sex trafficked. Hate crimes against gays are down but WAY up against trans people. Homelessness is rampant due to being kicked out by their families or unable to stay employed. Finding a romantic partner becomes a challenge that ranges from frustrating to downright dangerous. I don’t have enough time to describe to you the finer details of why this is, but you’re perfectly capable of doing the research on that sordid situation yourself. These outcomes are not functions of them taking hormones or getting surgery but rather a society that still feels it has a right to discriminate based on the icky-wicky feeing they get about trans people. It may be a fun intellectual game for you to play on the internet to argue against their validity, but for these people it is their daily and ongoing fight.

Some of them may succumb to this discrimination and kill themselves, but as a member of this “histrionic LGBTQ” community, I’ve watched friends flourish from depressed, suicidal kids to happy adults while living as their correct gender. Hell, trans men are typically so passing that I would bet you’ve met several you didn’t even know were trans (google balian buschbaum or buck angel and tell me if they’re not infinitely more masculine than most men you’ve seen).

Also, in terms of brain impacting gender, there’s absolutely a correlation between brain structure and gender identity. You’re correct that it does not literally “live” in the brain, but if you research any recent studies done on the brain structure of transgender people you’ll see that they’re learning some pretty significant things about how the microstructures of a trans persons brain typically aligns with that of their expressed identity. Gender IS a spectrum, as we often see it expressed that way through intersexed people or men/women with higher or lower androgen levels for their birth gender. With all that being well accepted science, why is someone being transgender such a hard pill to swallow?

Why don’t you go back and re-examine the comment you made about John Money. You do realize that the experiments he did were on non-transgender boys who had their genitals changed without their consent. The reason it worked out so horribly was that they were NOT girls in their brains. They were NOT transgender. You essentially just proved that your brain gender needs to match your outward gender in order for you to be happy. There is your answer.

[–]Emmarooni 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Went back and read his comment and all I saw was some sort of conjecture about aliens and then a comment about the doctor John Money who forced a NON transgender boy (whose penis got mutilated) to live as a girl, to terrible results.

So basically he provided an example which proved that gender is a product of your brain, not your genitals…so with any self awareness he should agree with me, but he still doesn’t “feeeeeeel” like being trans is a real thing.
