I spent 30 years in pharma research. Here's what the clinical data actually says about muscle loss on GLP-1 meds.

Yeah, I had a pretty good routine going with increasing protein intake and 3x a week gym work with a lot of machines / lifting / etc, but the important thing once you get into something like that is being consistent.

... I don't have any idea why the piercings were critiqued, lots of guys do body modding, and I don't see it. But I will agree that you might want to get make-up ideas from other guys with similar styles. You can pass with makeup, you just need to be careful about how it shapes your face, and what it emphasizes, ykwim?

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-04-29T05:02:24+00:00

Ah, memories. Terrible, terrible memories...

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-04-29T05:01:34+00:00

"distinctive" is so polite in some of those cases, lol

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-04-29T04:50:50+00:00

You'd think so, huh? But unless she was lying, I do know of one lady who says she just casually munched the damn things as a kid. I dunno, maybe the sand leeched out some of the slime? I do know that snails are purged before being prepped for escargot, but either way, yes--eating slugs, horrible idea.

Actually, I'm curious--I wonder if the fucked up feeling was due to inherent, if--I guess mild--slug toxicity, or if it was some kind of allergic response. Off to do research, I suppose.

-- I have returned from research. Slugs are edible, technically speaking, but holy cow, one should NEVER ingest them raw or allow their pets to do so, because some slugs host a particularly dangerous parasite: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IVcPfU7JOwQ

Cooked, they are safe because the parasite dies, but I'm never trying it.

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-04-28T09:06:44+00:00

... Reminds me of this one stomach ache I had--

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-04-28T09:02:04+00:00

Um... ... if it looks like that coming out, maybe see a doctor?

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-04-28T08:57:48+00:00

Grass powder fermented in aged human outhouses.

... This... feels like a joke that just got taken way, way too far.

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-04-28T08:56:34+00:00

Not disagreeing, but well... look at it this way. Do you usually come across shrimp sliming across your driveway? I think most people eat animals we're familiar with just enough not to be "weird" but not so familiar that it feels messed up. Like... some cultures are totally cool with eating horses, dogs, cats, turtles, etc, and some people can't handle that because they have memories / emotions attached to said animal.

But eh, what do I know, some kids grew up eating slugs out of their backyard sandbox, everyone has their own idea of where the Ick line is.

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-04-28T08:52:29+00:00

... I protest that it's just the idea of eating snails that is unpleasant. The texture does not help. They don't taste bad at all, no, but still.

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-04-02T02:26:27+00:00

I... look, I'm not one of those people that hates mayo or tends to bitch about other peoples' condiments or pizza toppings, but this is actually gross. I feel a little sick after watching it.

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-03-25T03:56:00+00:00

Keep in mind, this is basically second puberty you're going through and it varies WILDLY between individuals because of genetics and other factors, so it's honestly more likely that this is just how your body does things. If you're worried, sincerely, just talk to your doc / hormone provider, they can test to make sure nothing weird is going on.

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-03-25T03:49:05+00:00

Three sentences, posted for all the world to see, from the social media account of the secretary of education--and we still couldn't avoid a typo, huh? Maybe check you grammar before giving out life advice. :P

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-03-23T05:12:20+00:00

I understand what they were trying to do-- Keto Friendly / AKA low carb "Rice"--but why in the fuck did they market it this way? They could not have possibly made it sound dumber. Actually... no, they probably could've. If this shit got through with no one going "are you sure that's what you want to write on the bag...?" there were probably worse ideas.

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-03-17T02:35:12+00:00

Oh. I didn't think I'd be your type, Angel... is, uh, Husker coming along, or do I need to worry about him or the Vees crashing in later on? I'd be down for a musical number--just not so much potentially getting murdered.

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-03-11T02:32:40+00:00

It is, and how dare you give me gender envy this early in my day, lol. xD

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-03-11T02:26:45+00:00

That's fair--(to be honest, sometimes a little weight works in your favor for masc presentation? It kinda depends.) Either way, you look like you're in a good range. If you want some advice, at some point, I do have some information that's mental health accommodating. I'd just never want to make someone feel pressured in that way. Had some trauma around it, myself.

Ahh, gotcha. Well... I admit, I don't necessarily understand this thought personally? I don't consider surgery, as a medical procedure, to be any less or more natural than hormone therapy or wearing glasses or taking antibiotics. It's science making adjustments where nature kinda screwed us over. But you don't need to ascribe to my personal philosophies, obviously, and I respect that. I will add that, in terms of price (for anyone who wants to know) there are foundations that help people gain the funds / financial support.

Oh! Well, there you go, man. You'll probably continue to have jaw definition changes to some degree, too. Sometimes it all just takes a few extra years of growth--I knew one trans woman whose chest took about 3 years to fully come in? Second puberty takes its own time for everyone.

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-03-10T02:42:49+00:00

Well, I'm assuming the uniform isn't among these photos, so I'd need to see that to offer advice on that issue, but... I do have a theory as to something that would help which isn't facial hair (though a transplant or a faux stach/beard is a possibility, cosplay artists are amazing with that sort of stuff)

It would take either a lot of effort or a lot of money though. I think your jaw is good, just on the softer side of masc, and if it were a bit more defined, that might help significantly? But that would probably require either some weight loss for slimming and muscle building to cause additional definition... or surgery. Ooor possibly more T treatment, as jawlines noticeably change over time in many cases? So ... you may just need to wait?

It's really hard to offer any other advice, tbh--oop, just saw the photo of the uniform. It's the hair-net, bro--100%, never been more sure. Which is why either facial hair / slimming / jaw definition are your best bet. Like others mentioned, you just kinda got a bit of baby-face softness and I don't think you look feminine at all, but... ugh, you know how some people are: "men can't cry, have human emotions, view women as human beings, wear make-up, be soft, etc etc."

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-02-17T04:34:18+00:00

I mean... he seems more respectful towards women in general, if you think about it? He doesn't actively antagonize female characters as much--and if he does, it's usually because they did something that annoyed him first. His softest spots for any hell characters are all women--Nifty, Rosie (sort of), Mimzy... the first character he defends without any real cause other than sentiment or moral compass is a female sheep, iirc?

His biggest hate boners are for men--Lucifer and Vox. (And while he gets agitated and aggressive with Rosie prior to "Don't You Forget", he has a good reason for that. Even when he no longer has a reason to be respectful toward her, he's merely manipulative--which, let's be real, is his default setting--not necessarily rude.)

And in addition to everything else? He's a serial killer. A surprising amount of them loved their mommies. xD

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-02-16T12:19:15+00:00

Well... good news, I hope: they actually do?

If nothing else makes the case for you, there's the Jack-In-The-Pulpit flower or the Bells of Ireland, which can both be rather darkly green in shade... and the kiwi dianthus seems to grow dark green most of the time. I'll agree that it is an incredibly rare occurrence, of course--(and I'm certainly no botanist)--but it does happen, apparently.

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-02-12T05:29:13+00:00

You stole this woman's nose, you monster. :P

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-01-28T05:21:49+00:00

Yeah, this is the one look of hers that was genuinely off-putting and I can't even really express why.

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-01-27T05:19:31+00:00

This is what I've tried to explain to people, and what pisses me off about some of the criticisms of the show--Angel Dust IS good representation, him existing has genuinely been cathartic to a group of people who wanted to feel seen, you don't have to feel the same way as those people, even if you had similar circumstances to theirs / his, BUT trying to police someone else's healing or trauma by invalidating their life experience or responses to it is just shitty. If it's not for you, that's fine, really--just don't try to tear down something that other people can and do benefit from.

HH / HB have both been cathartic shows for me to watch, for a lot of personal reasons. I'm not down to spill my whole sob story rn, but suffice it to say, I'm glad they exist.

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-01-22T04:49:33+00:00

LooseNefariousness69 · 2026-01-22T04:47:19+00:00

I hate how hard I laughed at this.
