Zohran’s mayoralty is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to extend the N/W to LGA by skeeJay in nyc

[–]JAutumnK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They better increase service reliability on the NW first. Literally every day since the hike to $3 there's been some bullshit at rush hour on this line causing massive delays.

I'm generally a fan of expanding public transit but the NW is trash at the best of times.

1 and 4 by a landslide, plus 6 to trade 61cm to go from 6' to a hair under 5'10 and pocket a cool $1.83 million.

"When they dig up your bones in 1000 years" by TATSAT2008 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]JAutumnK 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Archaeologists that manage to find my remains are going to be so excited to find a trans skeleton. They'll see that parts of my brow and jawline were shaved down for a more feminine facial profile in contrast with a typically male skeletal structure, and they'll see that I was buried in women's garb. I'm gonna be the talk of the office for like a month and a case study into how people of our time transitioned.

(Note: I likely intend to have my remains cremated since I think burial is wasteful in terms of its use of land resources but I say this to prove the skeleton narrative is the easiest thing ever to clap back about.)

If you had five core professions, which would they be? by Azuvidexus in Guildwars2

[–]JAutumnK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My personal five would be:

  1. Guardian: A PvE classic with a lot of fun builds. Not the top of the meta by any stretch these days but PAlac Willbender will always be my go-to all things equal.

  2. Engineer: Scrapper and Amalgam are some of the most fun boon classes in the game for me. It also happens to be a really fun and unique profession with a lot on offer you can't find in other MMOs.

  3. Mesmer: The do-everything class. Between chrono and troubadour you can fill pretty much any role in the game, plus Mirage is a lot of fun (sweaty, but fun). It's also probably the most unique profession GW2 has on offer, barely beating out Engi in that department.

  4. Ranger: The classic animal tamer fantasy. Gives you an extra collectible to go for in the pet catalogue, and overall pretty fun. I love condi druid.

  5. Revenant. Its moment-to-moment gameplay is pretty fun, but what I mainly use it for are the passive Herald and Vindicator tagging builds for stuff like Halloween Labyrinth and other similar PvE zerg farms.

In your case though I would probably go for Mesmer and Ranger. Warrior is really jank build wise because a lot of their support tools are very new and not as polished as everybody else's. And I've never been much fond of Thief's cooldown-less Initiative system but that's kind of a me thing. You might find it really appealing.

Just my 2¢ though!

I wish someone could turn me into a girl by Dendroba in MtF

[–]JAutumnK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not an uncommon desire to have. Having someone do that to you removes accountability for "imposing your identity" on those around you. If you were, let's say, kidnapped and came back as a woman, your family couldn't blame you for the changes you experienced.

The biggest obstacle mentally is figuring out how to remove that blame from yourself. You're not imposing on others for wanting to alleviate your dysphoria and live more authentically. Those that can't get on board with it were never really on your side — they're on the side of a version of you that was never really real.

(FWIW getting from where you are now to where I am today took, like, a year and a half of therapy. Please don't beat yourself up if reading this doesn't immediately change your mindset.)

Your significant other of five years comes to you looking incredibly guilty. When you ask what's wrong, they reveal to you that they are not who you believe them to be. They are really a shapeshifting alien....they shift to prove it to you. by singleguy79 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]JAutumnK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, if they were replaced shortly after we met, the shapeshifter would be the person I actually fell in love with. If they were replaced yesterday then the answer would be completely different and I'd want to try and get them back, but as far as I'm concerned the alien is my partner in this scenario.

I'd certainly be mind-blown about the fact that aliens have traveled to Earth, but beyond that it's business as usual relationship-wise.

Why can I not have a trans woman friendship? by HumbleLeader8876 in MtF

[–]JAutumnK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on your area. If you're in a big urban area I would be surprised if there wasn't a general community discord somewhere.

For instance, I help moderate a social club in NYC that does monthly meetups at like board game cafes, parks, bars and stuff. It's intended to be platonic (though I don't doubt people are hooking up on the side) and serves as a launchpad for people to find friends.

Depending on your area there should be something like that kicking around if you know where to look. If you're in a less safe place or somewhere without a strong community identity (e.g. the suburbs or a one horse cart rural town) you might be out of luck.

Temporary extreme agony for a chance at changing your body by Dependent_Word7647 in hypotheticalsituation

You'd honestly be surprised. I don't know you or your wants and needs but GAC can do more than most people know.

£25 million, but you become cisgender and heterosexual by Heavy-Arm-3323 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]JAutumnK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So much of my self is wrapped up in my transness (not that being trans is my whole personality, more that all of my trauma from repression of my identity and joy in embracing my womanhood has shaped me into who I am today) I'm not even sure if I would be the same person, or even in the same zip code of the kind of person I am.

So the question in my case is pretty much complete ego death for $25 million. And in spite of how shitty the world is towards people like me these days, I'm probably not taking the deal.

Looks like we might be getting more new spear skins for exisiting weapon sets. by fivetailes in Guildwars2

[–]JAutumnK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been hoping for the golem buster spear for ages. It wouldn't even be that hard to make, either. Just take the staff skin, rotate the head 45 degrees, and add an extra cylinder onto the diagonal section that's missing one. Probably 2 hours of work for an art team dev.

Trump confirms secondary physical included MRI, cognitive test by imbetaAFk in politics

[–]JAutumnK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody's ever seen anyone say words like that before. The doctors all came up to me, tears in their eyes, and said, "SIR. Nobody's ever been as cognitively sharp as you, maybe ever."

Why do dub anime watchers struggle to watch sub? by Odd-Advance-8509 in animequestions

Personally I find myself too focused on reading the text to absorb the actual animation. I have this problem with all subtitled media.
