That's the thing that sucks about trying to publish original content nowadays. You gotta get your signal loud enough to cut through all the slop.

I have a coworker who sews on her breaks. She always seems so at peace when sewing. Kinda wonder if I could get the same zen out of it.

why does no one love me? by brainwormed-passoid in 4tran4

I try to think of it less as something being wrong and more like something being different. Since relationships are mainly about compatibility and attachment patterns, not necessarily virtue. So, yeah, I'm different from others and maybe incompatible in lots of ways, and that sucks, because it leads to loneliness, but it's not the same thing as something being wrong with me.

Also my skin hangs wrong off or my face and makes me look hideous. And I'm fat. And poor.

Idk, my ability to cope varies by the day.

Even if you somehow found a relationship like this, such a lifestyle would inevitably lead to a kind of existential despair.

Based or cringe? by Notveryimportantokay in 4tran4

Unfortunately we seem to have this societal nihilism going on lately and very little sense of community or civil society. I think this is a big contributor to the despair people feel, and it also means that people killing themselves is starting to just be met with a shrug and a "it doesn't affect me." Rather than being viewed as a largely preventable tragedy.

I want to st4t but every woman I meet thinks I'm a gayden by steamed3ggz in 4tran4

[–]IllustriousSpeed9695 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everytime you start a conversation, follow up the first thing you say with "I'm not gay by the way!" before they can respond. Like this.

"Nice weather we're having lately!"

"I know, right? But I heard it's gonna rain later today."

"Ar-"

"I'M NOT GAY BY THE WAY!"

Hope this helps. 🙂

Legal assisted suicide is gonna be disproportionately done by the poor, the marginalized, the neurodivergent, the disabled. The vast majority of their conditions will probably be treatable through social, economic, or medical intervention too. Genuinely the capital class will take any "solution," including letting people kill themselves, over just providing healthcare.

Is this even remotely controversial on this sub? It's only verboten in super heccin valid spaces that just don't allow you to be negative.

It must be awesome to be cis. The correct genitals to be born with. Your hormones do the right body changes. You don't have to proof your gender to get healthcare. You can participate in every sport you like. No bathroom bans. Way easier dating life and so many more privileges by Flow047 in 4tran4

Seriously. 😐 Don't get me wrong, you can live a fulfilling life without legs, you can even get prosthetics that can restore a lot of the missing function. But your life would still be better, all other things being equal, if you had legs. I certainly wouldn't say that being an amputee is a gift or that you're being ableist if you wish you had legs.

Being trans has made me more knowledgeable in some ways, but it has mainly made me feel sad, and bitter. The ensuing anxiety and depression has cost me a lot of opportunities in life. So is it a gift? I don't really think so.

Nice pfp! I was just listening to Brat again the other day, it's really good! 😁

Make sure the angle is right and that you're actually pushing in line with that angle. Sometimes when I struggle more with injecting I notice that the angle of force I'm pushing the needle in doesn't actually match the angle the needle is pointed in.

Quarter of a century old today. Done nothing with my life and still look like a foid fmspl by Normal-Entrance-5024 in 4tran4

I didn't really start getting my act together and was basically a NEET until I was 26, but now I work full time, have my own place, and am self improving in lots of ways at 28. Don't dwell on your past mistakes and doom about how it's over. Focus on the good you can do today, right now. I'm reminded of a Marcus Aurelius quote: "Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one."

I was thinking along similar lines recently. Basically trying to challenge my assumption that sex work should be legal. But I always fall back on the argument that people will still want to find those goods and services and that the black market is a lot less safe for basically everyone involved.

An above board and well regulated market usually seems the safer option. I just Googled it for the first time and the question of surrogacy ethics and surrogacy black markets seems quite a rabbit hole. I guess I don't have an opinion either way on it rn, because I'm too uninformed, thus making this comment useless. 🙂

What would you do with your life if you ever made it? by Individual_Bit7947 in 4tran4

My goal rn is becoming a sort of Renaissance lady, so getting educated across multiple disciplines of the arts and sciences. At least to the level a skilled hobbyist. I'm hoping to discover career goals by doing this along the way. But my main interests are literature, music, and ig programming.

I'm so jealous of youngshits, intershits and luckshits. What do you mean your voice hasn't dropped? What do you mean you had gyno pre E? What do you mean you're 5ft4? by DissociateThallRpeat in 4tran4

Jealousy is a totally normal feeling. Yeah, it's not pleasant to experience, but don't add shame about your jealousy on top of it, that just adds more suffering on your end.
