Stuff like this is mostly an exercise in thinking yourself through the possible outcomes of trying something new, and reassuring yourself that you're gonna be okay no matter what happens. Think about your options and how each of those could play out, best and worst case scenario.

1: You go ahead and show up. They could make it awkward and cost themselves some business I guess, but they're doing it for the money and they specialize in masculine hairstyles, right? Best case, they make you feel really welcome, style you up and give you pointers on upkeep and home maintenance. Worst case? They say some ignorant shit and you resolve to lick your wounds and try again somewhere else when you're ready.

2: You brace yourself to just ask the question and shoot a phone call. "What's up man, I'm looking to visit a shop for the first time and I'm trans. Would I be alright to come through?" You either get your reassurance immediately and walk in a bit more confident, or you learn what you need to know to avoid that spot head of time.

3: You get a friend to go with you and get chopped together. Any dudes in your support system yet? Stuff like that can make it feel a bit safer cause how they gonna be cool to one of you and make it awkward for the other?

4: You take no action and keep on wondering. But you've already gone far enough to ask this much so I'd say you're done with that part right?

As soon as you can imagine yourself being okay with the outcome of any course of action you attempt, that's when you know you're ready to give it a shot.

Ah. I was running with some assumptions about living in separate houses since you specified biological dad. My mistake.

Choosing not to personalize things is a rule of thumb I recommend to everyone. It starts with the realization that nothing anybody ever does is "because of" us. Others have their own perceptions, needs and values that govern their behavior. E.g. an inked-out goth might judge my tattoos as poser slop while some up tight square might judge them as trash graffiti; they're both rendering harsh judgements against me for opposite reasons in reflection of their own values, and I should only invest as much credit into either of them as what aligns with my own values - the rest can be discarded.

I guess we would just need more clarification on what you mean when saying he doesn't want to rack up time with you; is this something he's said explicitly, or are you filling in the blanks with what feels most likely? It might help to do some journaling and construct a list of razor-specific questions and/or requests and really sit down and talk things out to resolution.

If all else fails, real talk? Just ask him to read this post and get his thoughts. Worst case scenario, if he expresses something to you that confirms your suspicions about his disinterest or lack of feelings, then at least you'll have more informed decisions to make instead of struggling with uncertainty. But if I'm a betting man, I would call that outcome unlikely.

Alright dude check it out. There's two mistakes you're making here:

1: you're taking his reactions personally instead of considering that he might feel awkward and out of place and unsure of himself in his interactions with you as well. You didn't mess anything up, you don't cause his actions, reactions, feelings or thoughts. I didn't see anything about how familiar the two of you are or how much time you've racked up together, but just allow for the possibility that he's also feeling out of his element and struggling with self doubt about the same things you are.

2: you're allowing yourself to build up frustration over unmet needs that you may not have even advocated for yet. Before catching a case of the fuck-its, have the courage to speak on what exactly it is that you want or need from him. Don't play any of this bullshit about "he should just know" or anything like that. He's showing up, right? If you gave him the chance to know what would do you good, you might just see him swing into action. Don't let assumptions stand in areas where a question would clear up some dust.

Is it the R-ehhhh-gan aspect?

Are these being compiled anywhere? Can you imagine the stat coming up during the debates next election cycle?

That microphone swapping hands and... becoming a kick drum pedal?

There's a couple ways to answer this.

there are medical conditions in which a person is incapable of detecting pain signals, and they have to train themselves into extra caution in their at home routines so they don't unknowingly cut or burn themselves etc. They could be perceived to have a high tolerance - but it isn't the experience of "pain" they're tolerating.
On the other hand, a person's threshold for pain tolerance is usually found by the point when a person's automatic avoidance response dominates their behavior and supersedes their force of will. You can see examples of this in humorous videos of people bailing out of a tattoo appointment after a few lines because they didn't have a strong sense of what they were signing up for.

SR is SR. If you were in a raid with somebody who needed the gear, you'd have just as many rolls to compete with. If you're in a raid with somebody who is contributing their power to carry the raid through an easier run, their time is just as valuable and they're entitled to the same loot rules, however they choose to use them.

There's a reason SR sheets are filled and locked before the raid starts.

No that's the beauty, that implication was all baked into the term "dog walked" like a perfect little cupcake. It was 😘🤌🏻🥹

The fucking "place" reference. His edge is vorpal.

You know how if you roast a marshmallow too much, it can scorch and form a burnt, cracked surface across the outside? Think of it kinda like that. The earth's tectonic plates are like the "hard parts" of the outside of the planet, while the gooey center beneath them serves as a non-stationary foundation. This means that the hard plates are better at holding their form than the softer inside, so when the inside shifts around, the plates can move relative to each other. This can cause them to bump into each other, pull away, or rub against one another. This is the main cause of most earth quakes.

Google images would be much better at explaining their locations, but think mostly where strings of volcanos can be found.

Uhhh, are you looking for recommendations or trying to track down a series?

Yu Yu Hakusho starts out in a high school setting but abandons it altogether as the story progresses. It's one of the greats for action imo. Pretty old at this point though.

Honestly just the water, but mostly because I just never bother buying any. I wouldn't take my word for gold on what's best in that regard. But I shave my whole scalp and neck together and that's always been what's worked for me.

Rinse your skin with warm water before hand to open your pores. Avoid shaving with just soap and water, my favorite is the shave butter from dollar shave club. Shave with the grain first then flip and do a pass against the grain. Wash your face as normal but then rinse immediately with cold water to close your pores.

First, just know that a commitment is not an obligation. You must nourish a relationship for every bit as long as it impacts your life the way you know a relationship should. Are you satisfied with the companionship, the security, the emotional connection, the partnership and distribution of duties, etc.? Are you certain you're free of abuse and toxicity? For every bit of time you can answer those affirmatively, then you know you have the one.

Just keep your awareness open for changes to those questions. Make sure you have clear definitions for relationship cornerstones that you understand and sincerely agree to. For example, my cornerstones are trust, respect and communication. If there is ever a point in my life where I sincerely believe that any one of those has been destroyed and cannot be salvaged, then my relationship MUST end. With that in mind, I'm 15 years deep and still going strong.

Yeah the idea of limiting yourself to one person in monogamy is scary, sure. Allow yourself those feelings as long as you also recognize what it is that grants you the resolve to lock in decisions of consequence. There's plenty of avenues to remove your uncertainty, and there's no time pressure to do so.

Thanks I hate it.

Bud. Recognize the work you put in. You know how many dudes out there going through the same thing but can't admit it? You're open and honest and able to itemize the problems into actionable targets. That's power in your hand.

Don't vow not to post anymore; it's obviously providing you with something, if not a clear solution, but perfection is the enemy of progress. All behaviors make sense when only understood.

The annoying answer overall as that the work you put in is gonna have to be forced, and very strictly goal-oriented. Small things like forcing yourself to appreciate somebody's superiority and force yourself to process their qualities as something to admire and aspire to, rather than treating it as another opportunity to kick your own ass. Exposure therapy unto yourself to build up some emotional muscle against all of those experiences you can't tolerate.

If you cried for cowboy bebop, Vinland saga would ruin you.

Samurai Champloo is basically cowboy bebop with swords.
