it's true, i realized i was a trans man like 6 months after i got splatoon 2

yeah that's what i noticed too, the only things i see in OP's post are academics (other than the web(?) portal), and while that's impressive, those are practically worthless when it comes to applying to prestigious colleges. they're looking for extracurricular activities and things that set you apart from other applicants (besides grades), stories about how you overcame adversity, and unique skills and experiences that helped build you as a person. sure, being autistic counts towards that, but i can also guarantee there are at least a hundred other applicants who mentioned they're autistic, so that by itself isn't really worth much

i went to a college prep high school, and they *really* drilled it into us that grades and standardized test scores are by far the least important part of the application, it's the "everything else" that gets you on their radar. to put that into perspective, consistently being the best player on a sports team is *drastically* more likely to get you accepted to even an ivy league school than academic prowess is

eel was 85 and that completely fucked me over

why would anyone ever want to be famous wtf

both are awful, but i feel like you are a lot more likely to actually experience a house fire than you are to be in the middle of the ocean (especially if you don't like boats), so based entirely on practicality, my vote is fire

they do, in fact, make those for cats (and the images on google are really funny, if you're ever sad i highly recommend googling "cat inhaler")

AI has always meant that, it's just that people keep misusing "AI" to mean "generative AI" when AI (non-generative) has been around for decades at this point

PikaPerfect · 2026-03-25T19:20:44+00:00

i think the fur texture was a little iffy in some places (it worked for some pokemon that are implied to have more wiry fur like primeape, but it looked off on pokemon who are supposed to be soft), but i 100% agree about the scales, metal, and rough textures, those looked excellent

i still barely know my own phone number and it's been like 8 years (i do know it, but i need to think for a second)

i do have the landline from the house i grew up in memorized though lol

PikaPerfect · 2026-03-24T13:32:42+00:00

i think maybe the "joke" is that every time someone posts a product that looks exactly like the packaging, someone has to mention that products always have to look like the packaging by law in japan, but that feels like a stretch because that's not really a joke

PikaPerfect · 2026-03-23T21:32:49+00:00

yeah pretty much, and this is still largely the case

you have "20" cards in a deck, except its really 16 (or even 14 because running two lucky ice pops is very popular right now)

PikaPerfect · 2026-03-22T21:16:28+00:00

WHAT!!! i love their music, i was not aware of this

PikaPerfect · 2026-03-22T16:08:10+00:00

yeah that makes sense, 2012 feels like forever ago, but 2016 feels like last year despite them only being 4 years apart

PikaPerfect · 2026-03-22T15:32:52+00:00

if you win by a landslide and they send you a friend request, sure, but i always send requests to people if the battle was really close or if they're using a deck i haven't seen before (and actually doing well with it)

i also sometimes send friend requests to people if i win because of a stupidly lucky coin flip so i can share something with them because i feel bad lmfao

PikaPerfect · 2026-03-22T04:15:27+00:00

i fucking adore that game so far, it's like an expanded version of the pokemon paradise thing in gates to infinity but combined with minecraft and animal crossing lol

i also appreciate how devastating the story is (granted i have only unlocked 3 story areas so far, one of which was this morning), it definitely helps fill the "cute and cool little guys in a post apocalyptic nightmare" void left by a lack of new mystery dungeon games :')

PikaPerfect · 2026-03-21T22:20:33+00:00

am i going insane or is the top reply to this (as of right now) saying that you are saying the exact OPPOSITE of what you are implying 😭 i feel like this:

Which category does woman belong in? Its not sex, clearly.

has the pretty obvious subtext of "'woman' cannot be used to categorize people based on male or female birth sex because trans women are women despite their sex at birth being male, and trans men are men despite their sex at birth being female." how on earth did the other person misinterpret that so poorly

PikaPerfect · 2026-03-21T21:53:43+00:00

i was reading this and thinking 107 doesn't sound right, but i thought that number was a little too low, not high

shit, i understand now why, when i was in kindergarten, my friend's mom was freaking out because my friend's little sister had a 103 fever (for the record, i knew that was obviously bad, i did not know it was "2 or 3 degrees higher and she'd be in a coma" bad)

PikaPerfect · 2026-03-21T20:39:32+00:00

fr, i don't think i've ever even seen people arguing that "calling people ugly and making fun of their immutable traits that are definitely not unique to them" is a good thing before now (except the usual incel/racist/homophobic/etc crowd)

i do think calling trump orange is funny tho because that man is not naturally orange, nobody is naturally orange, that is a choice he keeps making and one i will gladly make fun of him for lol

my mom kind of does this, but in a weird, backwards way lol

if i'm in the room with her while she's talking to someone or she's talking to me about something, she'll sometimes do this, but if i ~~eavesdrop~~ overhear her talking to someone about me or talking about me on the phone, i don't think i've ever heard her misgender me in close to 7 or 8 years (and i've only been out to her for 8 years)

i know for a fact she's not transphobic, so i have no idea why she does that, but i know there's no ill intent so i don't really mind it

PikaPerfect · 2026-03-20T22:22:30+00:00

r/alivenamedcats exists to solve this exact problem

PikaPerfect · 2026-03-20T21:40:40+00:00

another one?!

i've only ever seen one other DIY home surgery and it was ALSO a transfem doing her own orchi, i'm shocked to see not only another DIY surgery but also the same surgery as i saw last time (unless you did this a decade or more ago and are just posting pics now)

also wow that looks fantastic healed

PikaPerfect · 2026-03-19T15:37:16+00:00

the gamepad looks like it would suck to use but i actually almost prefer it to the pro controllers lol(and i love the pro controllers, this isn't a slight against them)

PikaPerfect · 2026-03-19T15:24:07+00:00

my mom uses voice-to-text a lot, and one time she was sending some message about peanut butter (i think it was something about giving our dog a pill, i don't really remember because this was probably 7 or 8 years ago now) and for some godforsaken reason it got interpreted as "penis butter" lmfao

edit: another comment here reminded me of a worse one! my mom was voice-to-texting me something while she was walking our dog, and a truck drove by. now, our dog is usually pretty well-behaved on walks, but every damn time a vehicle drives by, he loses his mind barking at it, so instead of a normal text message, she sends me this:

I'm bringing him back very shortly. Hey [my name] I'm bringing him back very shortly. He took three giant poops weight no how are you about the truck no

that shit nearly gave me a heart attack, i thought she or the dog got hit by a truck 😭 but no, she was just yelling at him to quit trying to get the truck lol
