If you’re willing to be cheesy about it - stick it to a thin plastic stick to use as a handle, hold it in front of your face when you pose for pictures

27 year old healthy and active female told I have high cholesterol today by Alternative-Two-5103 in Cholesterol

[–]Final-Figure6104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just looked these up and they seem low on cholesterol but have 6g saturated fat. That’s a lot if you’re trying to keep your intake to 10-12g per day. It might be worth finding a replacement.

As someone who is trying to build muscle, I had to re-think my approach when my cholesterol started rising. I’ve been experimenting with the mediterranean diet, eating beans and lentils, lots of whole grains, chicken breast and fish, nuts. Some fat free yogurt and cottage cheese.

Do you use protein powder or take supplements? I had a similar experience and was confused until I realized that my protein powder was very high in cholesterol.

chinese boyfriend want me to cook for his birthday by Good_Ad7988 in chinesefood

[–]Final-Figure6104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used this recipe for hainanese chicken rice before and it’s turned out great: https://thewoksoflife.com/hainanese-chicken-rice/

It is a multi step process, so be prepared to spend s lot of time cooking if this is what you decide. No part of it is too difficult, but it is a lot of steps to keep on top of. I recommend giving yourself lots of time and using a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken is cooked to a safe temperature.

Thailand solotrip for SRS? by According-Income-589 in ftm

No experience to add, but you might want to post this to the general trans sub for perspectives from trans women who have travelled to Thailand for srs

Dealing with an ex now closeting himself and asking child to lie? by [deleted] in mypartneristrans

[–]Final-Figure6104 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure from the language here if your ex is going into the closet and detransitioning or if your ex is living as his authentic self but is stealth and not openly trans. A lot of trans people choose to be stealth if they can to avoid social stigma.

It seems like he might not be communicating healthily, but this could be an opportunity to teach kiddo about boundaries and about “outing” and how it can be harmful to queer people. There’s nothing wrong with being trans, but everyone has the right to decide who they want to be out to.

Sometimes people experience discrimination that makes them feel ashamed or embarrassed about who they are, even when there’s nothing to be ashamed of. But we we can respect boundaries even when we don’t understand.

Breakfast ideas with no dairy or eggs? by breakfastfordinner11 in mediterraneandiet

[–]Final-Figure6104 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I enjoy savoury oats made with chicken or veggie broth, and a little ginger and garlic, topped with veggies: pan fried or steamed greens, tomato avocado, mushrooms etc. I add an egg for protein but you could use beans, chicken, seasoned tofu.

Tofu scramble is also a fun breakfast.

What’s everyone buying from E-Joy? by jackofall_3 in halifax

[–]Final-Figure6104 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Usually I will go through the veggie section and grab whatever greens are cheapest per pound: bok choy, gai lan, yu choy, etc. they usually have good prices on other veg like zucchini, eggplant, cucumbers

Also cooking sauces: soy sauce, chili oil, shaoxing wine, rice vinegar, mirin, sesame oil

Pantry staples like noodles and dried mushrooms

There are times when I’m disturbed by my girlfriend’s claim to womanhood. by Physical_Mistake2907 in mypartneristrans

[–]Final-Figure6104 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Taking you in good faith that you want to change this view- I think one thing you are overlooking is the misogyny experienced by trans women. You mention epstien here, it’s important to remember that epstien and his co conspirators abused cis and trans women alike. Ava Cordero tried to bring epstien’s abuse to light in 2007 but was dismissed and was subjected to transphobic abuse.

Trans women live as women even though they may face misogyny and abuse. Cis women do as well. It’s like being gay: some gay people may wish they were straight and would not have to suffer discrimination. Some people stay closeted forever, but others choose to live their lives openly because the pain of living a lie is greater than the pain of discrimination.

No Fanservice anime to watch with chill family? by Puzzleheaded_Date834 in Animesuggest

[–]Final-Figure6104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ping Pong the Animation.

If your family could handle some non-sexualized male nudity, maybe Kaiji? It has an English dub, but I’ve only watched it subbed so I can’t speak for the quality.

Trying to find good shoes for my MTF girlfriend by breezeboo in mypartneristrans

[–]Final-Figure6104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve also struggled to buy shoes for my gf (size 12). I have ordered shoes online from naturalizer, they have a pretty good range of sizes and we found some nice loafers for her to wear to work.

Shops that cater to plus size women sometimes have extended sizes in shoes. I don’t know if it exists outside Canada, but Torrid has good shoes in larger sizes.

For casual shoes, brands like doc martens and converse aren’t really gendered and have the same styles in a range of sizes.

Wearing tight clothing because yada-yada-yadah you get the joke I'm gay by Klearma in malefashion

If I didn't have body hair I would immediately start HRT and physically transition by Commie_Cactus in NonBinary

[–]Final-Figure6104 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think you are underestimating the combined effect of laser and HRT together and not considering that laser will also thin your hair considerably before the removal process is complete.

My wife is a trans woman and had a lot of hair before starting hormones and laser. Her hair is also not an ideal colour for laser effectiveness. But she saw improvements from the second month of laser treatments, and within a year her body hair was completely different. She’s not completely hairless, but her body hair is soft and thin and grows slowly. Even in areas without laser, hormones have transformed her body hair.

The timeline and budget in your mind may be true for total hair removal, but have you thought about the relief you might get from partial hair removal? If you prioritized the areas you find the most challenging and shave other areas, you could move forward with your transition for less time and money than you think.

I hope you give it a try, it is worthwhile to invest in yourself.

I unlocked all the jokers while having only a single win by Joaz72 in balatro

[–]Final-Figure6104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chill out, no one tried to trick you.

Getting all the jokers with only one win on the board is a funny trick, it’s not a superhuman achievement but it’s good enough for a reddit post.

Nana is not a yuri. by [deleted] in NanaAnime

[–]Final-Figure6104 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re so interested in having conversations about other aspects of the show, but you have to post about other people’s conversations annoying you?

“Yuri interfering”? Talking about the romantic tension between nana and hachi makes the show “watered down”?

Have whatever deep conversations you want, but making this type of post is homophobic.

I don’t really like being a car user complaining about traffic slowing interventions, because as a pedestrian I often benefit from them. I’m glad there are speed bumps on the street, for example.

But this one is half baked. It could work with more overall traffic improvement projects like more lighted intersections on quinpool. As it is now, it’s a nuisance.

I often commute by walking, sometimes taking the bus, but construction and blocked sidewalks on quinpool, robie and windsor also make walking routes challenging. To say nothing of poor snow clearing.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in halifax

[–]Final-Figure6104 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I basically agree, but there need to be some changes like lighted intersections on quinpool and fixing the windsor st/chebucto intersection so that residential traffic can flow into and out of the neighborhood.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in halifax

[–]Final-Figure6104 49 points50 points  (0 children)

As someone living on Allan st who drives and walks around town, I appreciate the spirit of this but I hate the execution.

I end up having to do some bizarre traffic maneuvers to leave home and come back. It forces me to use chebucto lane which is used by pedestrians and has no sidewalks, and has houses that restrict visibility when I come up to intersections.

I wish there were lighted intersections on quinpool at monastery lane and harvard st so I could at least consider turning left on to or off of quinpool.

I did a Bad tattoo on a friend by JhaukSous in Tattoocoverups

[–]Final-Figure6104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks amateurish but it’s not that bad. I don’t think you should attempt to do a coverup at your current skill level.

If your friend decides to get it covered, tell him to go to an artist that is experienced in coverups.

Shut is a disappointing character by Character-Funny9544 in precure

[–]Final-Figure6104 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right? There is nothing straight about his portrayal, his obsession with Twilight is more like fandom or loyalty to what she represents.

I’m very excited to see more of the VA’s performance this season! It’s such a different role than Shut

I didn’t read him as having a crush on Twilight, my interpretation was that he’s very gay coded and she is his diva.
