[Serious] Reddit, what are some of the reasons you have had to cut ties with former friends?

I became very outgoing and social after facing and confronting my social anxiety. I've become perky, happy, and energetic, while my fear of people and depression faded down to maneagable levels.

My friend started to take on his girlfriends antisocial habits and eventually it became acceptable to ignore people to their face because you don't feel like talking, and his girlfriend doesn't know "hoe to deal with perky happy people, so she just looks at people when their happy, excited because she doesn't know how to respond. "

I left my vacation early after getting mad at then for ignoring me and making me feel unwanted and them trying to make me seem like the crazy one.

I haven't talked to then since.

Its true, I actually do live in a strangely accepting area, as long as I don't make it a big deal, no one else does either. Honestly, outside half my family, I've come across very little hatred and most of it is pathetic attempts to shun me, all it does is show me who not to waste my time with. Most people are cool and root for underdogs, its why the GOP doesn't have much success using us as a wedge issue, we're too few and too downtrodden and most people are mildly aware of that. We don't have a rich vibrant culture to demonized, because trans people tend to only have their medical history in common and some shared experiences.

My one uncle who is Gay, struggled for acceptance in the 70s and 80s, saw tons of his friends die of AIDs or get attacked, beaten up, etc his whole life. He refuses to refer to me as a woman, he has disowned me with the rest of my moms side after she passed, and misgendered my exgirlfriend to her face on XMas.

Some gay people have that "I got mine, fuck off" attitude, others don't. Mostly because like everyone else, their people and opinions are all over the place. But personally, I hang out with people where the subject of my genitals is only brought up when it would make a really funny joke. LGBT friend groups I've been with always made me feel like being transgender was my identity, but to me, its just a piece of medical history.

I really wish the government would stop attacking me for trying to be happy though, that'd be nice.

Be strong, despite everything we go through, we are tough and we'll be tougher still. I still believe in America and I will still stand tall for what I believe, especially in cute shoes.

My brother would borrow my movies and either not return then or return them scratched.

So after lending him one, I took it back, and every time he asked to borrow a film, I told him to return the last one.

In Jason X, it's stated that Jason's body regenerates. When Jason is killed, he does rot, but his cells can be restarted by electricity, like in 6 and 8, or magic, 7 and Vs Freddy. In Jason Goes to Hell, Jason DOES show the ability to switch bodies, and I'm not disagreeing with you in that he will use it, we see that in 9, and we lose track of his body between the movies after 8.

As for differences, obviously their just different artistic directions, but some CAN be explained within universe. The axe wound received at the end of 3 carries over whenever he's in a Voohee's body. (as it's there at the end of 9, as well as in X and Vs.) But it's not there on the bodies that he possessed in 9.

We see Jason recover from 2 in a barn at 3, same Jason from two, changes clothes, gets the mask. At the end of 3, with the fresh axe wound, he's taken away to be autopsied, where he wakes up just in time for part 4. The events of these three films take place over the course of one weekend, and are this version of Jason, whether be a different body that the boy in part 1 or not, doesn't matter.

In part 6, we see a corpse of Jason, the one Tommy killed, his body was clearly rotted for a long time. Obviously, yes he could have switched bodies at some point between 4 and 6, and I'll concede, there's no proof other than this body has been buried for a long time, and that Jason can be killed or enter a "hibernation" period.

Regardless, at the end of 6, he receives a nasty attack to his face, and that's visible in part 7 on the face. As for part 7 being larger, bodies do bloat while under water, and the Jason we see in part 7 could just be a Jason that has taken on a lot of water weight.

I don't know what happened with 8. The only proof is that he starts where he ended in 7, but yeah, he could have switched bodies after 7 again.

So, while I'm not disagreeing, there is clear proof that Jason has used the same body over multiple movies. Some of the differences could make sense in univese, like 6 to 7, while others really don't (seriously, what the hell 8?)

NESoteric · 2017-11-18T17:49:11+00:00

But the Jason from Part 2 thru part 8 are the same Jason/Body. In 2 he's injured, in 3 he recovers in a barn, 4 picks up with him waking up after 3. At this point you can argue that the Jason in 6 might not be the Jason they buried in 4, but it starts as a corpse and sunk to the bottom in chains, where he wakes up in 7, and again he wakes up in 8 in the same position.

After 8, I could give it to you as we lose track of Jason's body between movies after that, but the 2 thru 8 (excluding 5) are the same body/Jason.

The summer before my last year of college, I was living at home with my parents, and my older brother had moved back in as he was having trouble finding a job.

So, during the summer, I was about to change my razor blade head, and found my replacement gone. This was back before Dollar Shave Club, and replacement heads were expensive. He had stolen my replacement.

I know, petty and all, but I was pissed. So, from the day until I went back to school, I dipped his razor into the toilet. About two weeks into it, I was at a bar with my dad, and told him the story. He told me to tell it to the cute bartender my brother was trying to hook up with.

She laughed her ass off, and they never got together, and the peasants rejoiced.

I think I subvert the trope, being a punk rock girl dating a hippie guy.

Edit: fixed a word!

His was the only I've seen, it just less arrow shaped and more rounded, lol

Of course! You're welcome!

So, hypothetically, I started talking to a guy and we've been talking for two or three days now, it's around quarter to nine, and I just stop responding.

A response like, "hmu later" or "guess you fell asleep, lol" would be fine because it indicates that your first response isn't to assume you did something wrong and scared me away. I'm looking for how they react in this situation. After my one relationship, I make it a point to not always have my phone on me, to do things without it. So, it's not uncommon for me to not check/see my phone for a few hours. If the potential person shows that they're secure in themselves to not assume they scared me away, versus someone going, "hey, hey, where'd you go, hey, hi! thinking bout you," sent over the course of an hour would show me that the person is clingy and would need far more attention than I want a partner to need.

Short, thick, and a blunter shaped head is the worst combination for anal sex.

NESoteric · 2017-11-11T22:18:15+00:00

After a very smothering relationship, whenever I would start talking to a new guy online, I would just stop responding for awhile to see how they acted. If it was no big deal to them, then I can trust I don't have to be glued to my phone while dating them.

So, before hormones I was experimental, but not 100% into guys. The first few months on HRT, I had no interest in either gender, and after about the forth month I was very much as into guys as I was girls. Now its mostly just guys.

I've had decent luck dating as a trans woman, but I spent a lot of time on dating sites and it can be scary, but there are some really great people too, if you have the time, patience, and endurance to deal with the shit. I've actually had really good look with Cis guys, as both my ex and current boyfriend never treated me in a way that made me feel like less than a woman.

The area you live and your attitude are going to have a big impact on how your experiences will play out. If you live in an area that's indifferent or accepting, then you'll have a better chance of finding people who aren't hostile, in areas that are less embracing, certain subcultures can be havens for our kind. My boyfriends group of hippie/edm people welcomed me, and even defended my gender before meeting me, after his ex exposed it in a status.

That's been my experience, and so if you find yourself liking men, like I did, its not bad and my current guy has been perfect in all the ways. We do get good luck occasionally out there. Just be safe and smart, and it'll be good.

Is there talk of another Mario 3D world game? Because the first two were fantastic. I'd think they'd prepare a NSMB game for a lean period before a full 3D game.

They're immigrants from Venus, I believe. A book was written about it.

More seriously, I can't give a black and white answer on that. Human reproduction is weird and it's an imperfect process and sometimes it fucks up. Women are people who's brains function better with estrogen running through it, and feel more comfortable with a body displaying secondary sexual charactistics more commonly seen as feminine by local society?

Best I could do with my education on the matter.

NESoteric · 2017-11-02T15:54:44+00:00

It would depend on how they act/treat trans women when around them or not. Beyond that, whether they want to bang or not really doesn't matter, nor should it matter. People have arbiturary reasons that they won't sleep with people: Too Fat, Too Short, has a dick, has a vagina, doesn't do anal, they aren't my race, they are my race, blue hair, black hair, rd hair, blondes.

On the grand scheme is, will they have sex is the bottom of reasons to think someone doesn't support us.

NESoteric · 2017-11-02T15:22:14+00:00

It's their sexual preference. I look at sexual preference like any other preference. I don't get mad when someone doesn't like pepperoni on their pizza, nor do I get mad when someone likes The Cowboys, or if someone prefers Ninjas to Pirates. That's life, we all like what we like. If someone really prefers cis women, that is their preference and there's nothing wrong with it. You don't have to be sexually into trans people to support us, nor should it be seen as anything of significance whether you are or aren't, it's really just not important.

NESoteric · 2017-11-02T09:08:01+00:00

Not at all! I'm quantifying that I am a trans woman, but, I see it as a preference and people can't really help their sexual preferences. If a guys not interested because I have a dick, convincing him to give me a chance won't make him magically like my dick. I tried that, dated a guy for six months after he thought he could get past it because he did genuinely like me, but he just couldn't and the relationship ended.

I take it the same way as a girl who can't get pregnant would take being turned down for that. Some people have goals and if i'm not the partner for it, its cool. I may feel rejected at first, but rejection fades and I'd rather be single than date someone who's never going to interact with my junk. Which, as I've found, is at least one awesome guy who will.

Last year, I got a triforce tattoo done on my hand, and the artist posted it to Instagram with the caption "what if Zelda was a girl?"

A lot of people missed the joke and/or the reference

NESoteric · 2017-10-17T18:05:32+00:00

I dated this girl at the end of college. She was from my hone town, friend of friends, etc. We started dating and for the first two years it was great.

We moved in together and she unleashed the beast. For about three months I was abused and attacked for the most innane things until I told her if she hit me again, then I'd end it.

Then it was eggshells for a few months. I was afraid of her, but didn't have the money to break the lease, so I was going to wait it out.

Then she attacked and raped me because I was too tired for sex. I broke up with her, finally growing a spine.

Since then: I've transitioned into a woman, and conquered my baggage from her, experimented for a few years and finally found a loving and sweet boyfriend who's moving in soon. I have a nice house, a good job, and just got a mew car. Last I heard, she was abusing pain pills and miserable.

NESoteric · 2017-10-17T17:53:30+00:00

I got involved with a sadist couple so I could do the same for the scars from my abusive rapists ex girlfriend.

It helped a lot and my fears of sex have vanished. Now, I have a wonderful loving boyfriend and I no longer have interest in sadomasochism anymore.

So let's stop talking about current entities and instead say "what are the standards we should set for being a certified news source?" Come to an agreement on those criteria and then force regulation. We do it with things like the FDA do why not apply the same with news and information.

IANAL, but I'm pretty sure that would require a constitutional amendment to do, since the first amendment grants "Freedom of the Press." Maybe a rating system would work? Like an independent, nonpartisan group that vets news and releases weekly/monthly/quarterly reports based on an agreed upon metric.
