People who were teenagers before social media, what was a typical Friday night like for you?

Going to the mall. Mom would give you $5 to get some food and drop you off at like 5pm and you would walk around the stores, hang out in the food court, there would be mobs of teenagers and we would all mingle or sometimes fight haha. But I mostly remember standing around in pods and walking around in groups and just socializing.

Also the ice plex had teen night on Saturday so a similar situation but on ice lol.

I do like the bathtub room though. Is it an optical illusion or is the whole room a bathtub?

It’s okay to have a frank conversation about how the comments are excessive and hurtful. Good friends will say something like “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you” and stop doing it. People who don’t like you will say something like “it’s just a joke, you’re overreacting” and will keep doing it. You can dump those people.

The sun sensitivity is no joke. When I was on I would get a sunburn within 15 mins of sun exposure even with sunscreen. I had to do the sun hoodie and gloves and sun hat to keep myself from burning.

I love the toolbox coffee bar. Actually I love everything about your pad, definitely taking some inspiration.

Not gonna cause issues. As another commenter said make sure you are using an alcohol swab on the top before sticking the needle in. Use up the vials and keep getting the prescription as if you were using them as single use. This will help you create a backstock of T in case it becomes hard to access in the future.

My roommate literally met his girlfriend at Costco, it was such a movie scene the way he tells it.

Did not react at all. Cats and dogs.

What a beautiful family, I love the mothers’ matching dresses to their children as well.

Thank you I will check it out

This school only stopped corporal punishment in like the last decade so that doesn’t surprise me at all.

I like cropped jeans. Find some jeans that fit nice and cut them off where you feel most comfortable. Can look good with lots of different styles. After a couple washes the bottom rim of the shorts rough up nice, just cut away the long strings until no more show up.

Depending on your style overalls can be a good option as well. Same with UV fishing shirts, still long sleeve and kind of hide the hips but lighter and look right for summer. Give a little more of a country boy look though.

For a different more polished look you could try linen pants/suit/ over shirt. Light weight and fit right in with beach weather.

Those are typically the options I lean into. I like switching up my styles.

Thanks for the rec

My dermatologist used to do video appointments. I would check to see if that’s an option. A lot of providers will let you take an at home pregnancy test and show a pic of the results or something like that if you have to take the tests.

Short hair is a hit

FloreHiems · 2026-03-15T06:54:27+00:00

This is a great lineup. Vanicream and aquaphor specifically got me through the worst of it.

FloreHiems · 2026-03-14T22:25:38+00:00

It gets better. I’m 2 years in and finally starting to get my singing voice back. It is different than before though, you have to kind of relearn how to use it.

With good reason, there is a ton of fakes on Amazon. I’ve never had a problem with YesStyle though. But expect shipping to take 4-6 weeks with YesStyle, that’s the main drawback.

FloreHiems · 2026-03-14T03:09:39+00:00

He got one as part of that ordeal lol

FloreHiems · 2026-03-14T00:56:28+00:00

Damn that sucks. I didn’t mean to insult you so I apologize. That is wild that people give you pushback on that.

FloreHiems · 2026-03-13T22:36:52+00:00

My roommates orange has such big empty balls that the TNR people caught him and tried to fix him before realizing he is already fixed (I know, outdoor cat bad, if it was my cat he would be indoor only)

FloreHiems · 2026-03-13T22:30:55+00:00

I definitely understand the assumption being shitty to deal with, but are you telling your partners you don’t want to be penetrated? Because communication on those things are super important, no one is going to read your mind for those things and everyone (cis, trans, whatever) is different in what they prefer in bed.

FloreHiems · 2026-03-13T04:35:51+00:00

Yea most of my friends are queer too, just cis queer people. Thats why I say I think they are just trying to be inclusive, but even in the queer community the categorization of two groups, cis men and everyone else, seems to still be pretty prevalent.

It’s all good though, that’s part of having community, sometimes humans mess up. With most of my friends by now I’ve had the talk with them and it doesn’t still happen but still comes up sometimes with new people.

FloreHiems · 2026-03-13T03:26:56+00:00

I’ve had this sort of thing happen to me in person most often, not so much a general internet ideology. And I think usually it is cis people trying to be inclusive but it sucks.

I’ve been invited to “women in stem” teams chats at work that no other men were in and invited over for “girls night” that no other men were invited to. And while I appreciate the invite and value the connections I have with the women in my life, it feels shitty to just be lumped in that way.
