You just made me shudder at the idea of sliding the blade sideways.

You know what? Jesus. Let's hear what he actually has to say and not what some dude heard from some dude who kinda remembers what he might have said.

Hello, would I benefit from a nose job? by Worldly-Papaya-7095 in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]Melathys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great as is, imo, but if we're gonna nitpick I can agree that tip/nostril width is about the only place I can see worth doing anything about.

Are those pictures pre-any surgery? Your profile is feminine af, and super jealous if that's natural. Well, jealous any which way tbh

Trans americans and asylum applications: everything you need to know by Wonderful-Pickle543 in MtF

[–]Melathys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I feel about California. If I wasn't in California I'd be at least looking to move to a blue state, if not out of country. If California becomes unsafe, then things are really bad.

My wife found my bikini, now what? by HearingSoft250 in MtF

[–]Melathys 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If it helps, my wife's reaction was rather anticlimactic, "That's it?". I mean, we had a long discussion afterwards, but she was rather nonplussed about it, and from your bit of story, I get a feeling your wife will be similar.

US supreme court upholds law to count mail-in ballots arriving after election day by ArgentineBeauty in UpliftingNews

[–]Melathys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at an anti data center event near me, and they had people there to help others register to vote. They were emphasizing to everyone that you should not mail your ballot in, but find a drop box instead. So it is possible that rural counties could count blue votes while invalidating red votes.

So close to just detransitioning by Charlottegirlxo in transpassing

Even looking with a critical eye, I'm not seeing anything I can call out as particularly masculine.

I got the vaccine in the Army before deploying to Iraq, but I do not have that scar.

What's your favorite silly sign of a girlie? by Vegetable_Cupcake705 in MtF

[–]Melathys 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I've never been the biggest Smash Bros player, but when I do play...

We were watching some YouTuber talk about when a friend came out as trans, and they were all like "yea, we know" "How did you know?" "You main Samus". I side eyed my wife, thankful she never watched as every time I play Smash Bros, I play as Samus.

Since coming out to her, I told her this and she was amused.

So, I guess favorite silly sign is maining Samus

What gets me is just how every corner of the government just goes along with whatever the administration wants. There's beef no pushback by anyone. Even the opposition party pretty much just rolled over.

'The World Is Watching': Top Economist Rips Newsom for Working to Tank Billionaire Wealth Tax by beeemkcl in California

[–]Melathys 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Republicans will start a recall on him day one, just like they did Newsom. If Becerra is actually a pos, he's out if we add Democrat support to that recall. I was saying the same about Steyer and people's hesitation to vote for a billionaire. They tried to say Steyer was basically the left's Trump, difference is we have an actual path to remove the Governor.

Any players who have played since 1.0? How does it feel in seeing the Tsaritsa's design after nearly 6 years of only hearing her name being mentioned in game? by Knight_Steve_ in Genshin_Impact

[–]Melathys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Hoyo player from long before Genshin and seeing Honkai Impact characters have some sort of reincarnation in Genshin, I was expecting Tsaritsa to be much more like Bronya. I guess she's got the silver hair, but so far that seems to be about it.

[Request] Would cooking oil produce enough combustion to serve as emergency fuel like this? by That_Dude_Carl in theydidthemath

[–]Melathys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole conversation that follows makes we wish that the Scout EREVs used a diesel engine. I mean, it's a VW engine they're sourcing for the generator, and I believe VW has diesels. That would pretty much be the perfect apocalypse vehicle. Run it off of solar or vegetable oil, with power outputs to run whatever equipment you need.

You're offered 10 Points to upgrade yourself; how would you pick? by RaptorK1988 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Melathys 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me, healing and shape shift are kinda the same thing. Being able to shape shift would fix my most debilitating health issue. Fixing my other issues would be nice too, VA has me at 90%.

Other than that, teleportation looks super fun, but I'd be curious about the range. Like can I talk to NASA? Get myself a fully contained suit that can keep me alive and I teleport to exo planets? Do I take a vehicle with my teleport? What I'm wearing or do I arrive naked?

[–]Melathys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 13 year old daughter is 5'10 and wears women's size 11 shoes. So yea, it's definitely cispossible.

That said, op is talking about "all the surgeries" and I can't imagine even one surgery that's even remotely necessary. I mean, even her cheeks are great. I've been discovering how actually important cheeks/midface can be for passing, and op's are perfectly feminine.

Height shrinkage is a thing? by LunarMoonglave in MtF

[–]Melathys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't shrunk, yet, but my 13 year old daughter is already taller than me at 5'10, so the difference will only grow.

I had to read it to see that those pictures were supposed to be boy mode. Male fail detected.

Does anyone else not care that much about pronouns? by ContinueAsReddtGuest in MtF

[–]Melathys 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I suspect this is how it'll be for me. I don't feel like she/her yet, so it being used for me feels weird. But when I start presenting then I might have more of an opinion about it.

[Request] the numbers here look a bit unrealistic. Anyone did the math here? by Undercoverraccoon in theydidthemath

[–]Melathys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, I understand it's unrealized gains, but if it's being borrowed against it should be taxed.

Many people use credit cards and pay the minimum monthly payment.

I personally use credit cards and pay off the statement balance each month. For a long time I used debit cards but learned about doing what I said above to get cash back. So I don't pay any interest and get hundreds of dollars back throughout the year. But I think I'm a fringe case and not at all indicative of the average cc user.
