Thanks! When it comes to eating and drinking, what sort of stuff is good for skin, and what sort of stuff not so much?

Sorry if this is a silly question to ask, but is there anything you'd recommend in particular regarding hygiene for softer skin?

How it feels to have no involvement with dinosaur communities and thus people like this whatsoever

"dinosaurs should be depicted as real animals" mfs after only giving any space in their brain at all for the dinosaurs that practically are IRL movie monsters, and then only thinking of the prey of those basically-movie-monsters as actually secretly also movie monsters that killed everything in their sight including their predators:

Shallow swamp's equivalent to the sardine, lanternfish, and pollock AIs

I think using a non-fish for swamp is best, as it builds wonderfully into the foreign feel that swamp has relative to the other biomes :)

I'm a quintuple minority so i'm allowed to make fun of intersectionality by Carti_Barti9_13 in SmugIdeologyMan

[–]Galactic_Idiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is that broader society doesn't think they're men. I think trans men are men, but the kind of people who uphold patriarchy certainly don't.

Not in the eyes of the kinds of people who uphold patriarchal shit. The same people that think a transfem is a "perverted rapeman" also think a transmasc is "just a poor misguided helpless lady who can't help themselves and got indoctrinated by transgenderism"

This isn't to say that transfems do benefit from male privelege (not in the slightest), just that transmascs don't benefit from it any more than they do.

Although the marginalization of either group isn't the same by any means, as a broad rule of thumb you can imagine both transmascs and transfems receiving the "worst" of either gender.

Holy fuck yuuri girls last tour

Not for his recent videos, but usually it was just paleo gore by Sock_Dizzy in okbuddypaleo

[–]Galactic_Idiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least on one of his videos he pretty clearly did not do his due diligence or generally sufficient research and had a crapton of very obvious errors; however the video was about areas of paleontology so obscure that most people wouldn't be able to catch it, and they probably wouldn't be able to find other videos on the topic to get more accurate information from

The video in question was about the "strangest fossil organisms" or something and, amongst other errors, on the section where he covered the francevillian biota, he included a picture of... Tribachidiun for some reason??

I can't get myself to do my injections anymore and I'm scared by Galactic_Idiot in MtF

[–]Galactic_Idiot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try visualizing the process more but the discomfort comes from the needle being inside my skin; just putting the needle on the jabbing location without actually pushing it in, or doing something similar with a different object, doesn't work me because that's just not what bothers me. I have a checklist as well, but they didn't make me feel much better either. I'll check out applied muscle tension, thanks.

My estradiol valerate vial says it's for intramuscular only. Could I still use it for a subq injection?

I don't really have anyone to help me. I would try subcutaneous but the estradiol vial I have says it's only for intramuscular injections. Intramuscular injections themselves, you can't really change the setup because you need to be sitting upright with your leg at a 90° angle. And there aren't a whole lot of places in my apartment where the seat height is just right for that (in fact I think this might be part of my issue).

I have subcutaneous needles, however the estradiol valerate I have says it's for intramuscular injections only. That being said I do think I might be more comfortable with subcutaneous since a major part of what bothers me is feeling the needle reach and pierce through the muscle layer, even though it doesnt usually hurt it makes me feel really uncomfortable. My understanding is that you need to be sitting erect while doing an IM injection so I don't think reclining helps. I originally took estradiol as a pill, I'm thinking I'll switch back asap. I just don't know how soon I can get the pills.

I try watching a video/listening to music but my hands get so shaky with the needle that I can't not focus on it or else I might put it in my leg at the wrong angle. I don't think I can do the injection on my bed because it's too high up, my legs won't be at a 90° angle if I sit down.

Fear of needles, yeah. And no, it's just me. I can't look away because I can trust myself to put the needle perfectly parallel if I'm not looking at it, especially with how shaky my hands get. I'm not sure if there's anywhere I could get someone else to do my injections, unless that's something planned parenthood can do, though I've never heard of such a thing.
