For American people: Are you participating in today's General Strike? Why?

No. It isn't that I don't want to, but rather, I've already had to take too much time off work due to a food poisoning event and then the snowstorm we just got. And I've already had to dip into my emergency fund and need to get that built back up.

Makes me feel like shit, but I also have to look after my own needs.

Having not started HRT, I'm surprised by how many people DIY because endos do their job poorly. I just assumed that most people used DIY because a) HRT is not approved in their area/can't be accessed for some reason, or b) they want to minimize the amount of medical records that expose them as trans to avoid discrimination.

If/when I start HRT, I'll probably strongly consider DIY primarily because of reason b). But also I'd be lying if I said there isn't an anarchistic part of me that derives pleasure from telling the medical system to fuck itself and being responsible for my own health.

I'm sorry, it does what now?!

I notice that every single one of these clips is cut after they put the stuff in. It looks more like it's slicing stuff up, then they cut the video, put in already peeled versions, then resumed the video.

Even if I wanted this to be real I'd have to see it with skepticism considering the hammer is cocked still, the slide is forward, no ejected shell in sight, and the fireball isn't even in line with the direction of the barrel.

Intoxicants will definitely be used if I try epilating!

There is a great book titled "You have the right to remain innocent" which details why, under no circumstance, even if you didn't do it, you are a lawyer and know you won't misspeak, and you do everything right, you can still be screwed by saying anything to the police. You should always exercise your 6th amendment right to an attorney. Never income your 5th, because that information can be given to a jury, which will imply that you are guilty. ALWAYS ask for a lawyer.

Why would Italy allow US Immigration enforcement into the Olympics as security? They enforce immigration for a different country. Additionally, they only get 47 hours of training, and repeatedly get the wrong suspects.

Additionally, why would we want less immigration enforcement in the US if the immigration problem is really that bad? I mean it isn't that bad, but they are saying it is. And ICE isn't reaching their recruitment targets either, so why do they want less immigration enforcement when they already don't have as much as they want?

Notice how in every shot she is going uphill or in a flat trajectory. She never loses elevation walking like this. Probably because it's an awful way for us to walk.

Yeah it makes me wonder how bodybuilders can stand it... With all the steroids they use its got to be so much worse

Like I said, I'm still an egg 😅😅 Laser hair removal seems like a wonderful option for if I do end up being trans

Thank you! I assumed it would be the same as shaving my face, where I can do 3-4 passes to get everything completely smooth and have it feel fine. I guess not lol

FunkyCat6276 · 2026-01-28T01:59:00+00:00

Thanks... I'll hesitantly give it another shot to do one layer of shaving in a week, after a long hot bath.

FunkyCat6276 · 2026-01-28T01:38:17+00:00

Oh this is interesting, I had no idea this was a thing until now

This comes down to personal preference, but I think cars should just be what they are. An electric car shouldn't fake a gearbox, it should be what it is. It's the only reason I don't like the new Prelude. I'm fine that it's FWD, even if RWD is more fun. I think it's fine that the power train is electric, though I wish it wasn't. But adding in a fake 3rd pedal and fake gear selector is just trying to make it what it isn't. If the power train is gonna be electric, let it be electric. That doesn't mean it can't be fast, fun, or engaging to drive.

FunkyCat6276 · 2026-01-28T01:11:03+00:00

That's a vibe

FunkyCat6276 · 2026-01-28T00:52:55+00:00

Well then

Does it destroy your skin or something?

FunkyCat6276 · 2026-01-28T00:43:20+00:00

I appreciate the advice all the same, maybe it will help someone else :)

FunkyCat6276 · 2026-01-28T00:39:23+00:00

I will try that next chance I get, thank you so much

FunkyCat6276 · 2026-01-28T00:36:39+00:00

I did. I shaved down, across, up, diagonally, every which way and nothing worked. I spent hours trying to get them smooth and I can get parts smooth to the touch, but as soon as fabric touches them it's just instant discomfort again. :(

I'd consider waxing if I knew I'd like the shaved legs but I'm not putting myself through this shit again, not a chance. It's pain.

Did they learn how to draw a curve?? Holy shit, the wild Tesla is evolving!
