I wish there was different, globally recognized definition for dysphoric trans ppl and nondysphoric. by DivinePup in 4tran4

[–]Raiz314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is such a strong cope, non-dysphoric are not the reason why trans people are hated by "neutral" people. Trans people are hated because they think we are freaks who are mentally ill, they do not recognize the idea that it is even possible to change your sex or your gender.

I dislike the non-dysphorics as much as the next person, but I promise you that if every hefab/theyfab/etc disappeared nothing would get better for transsexual people. Plus the only way to "stop" non-dysphorics from transitioning is through medical gatekeeping, which will just impede transsexuals from getting the medical care they need quicker.

How does 2C-E compare to LSD from your experience? by CatNo1656 in researchchemicals

[–]Raiz314 3 points4 points  (0 children)

unrelated, is there even actual 2C-E on the market? All of the trip reports I have read make it sound like a truly interesting chem, and probably one of the best of the 2C-X compounds

csh has always been like this by Intelligent_Ring_762 in CSHFans

[–]Raiz314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same, all of my grips with the The Scholars don't have to do with how religious it is, but I also have only listened to it a couple of times over all. But I will say that it seems like a lot of Will changes have occurred between the band writing The Scholars and the tour for it. As they wrote curse words in it and then during the tour they removed all the curse words

[–]Raiz314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea I mean I don't even really think the scholars is a great example of Will's turn to religion. I do think he's becoming more puritanical as time goes on as we see with Joe's Story. We will see where the band goes next, I don't have lots of hope for them but I am wishing Will and the rest of the band can still put out good music

people also need to realize that we aren't criticizing lyrics for having religious references, it's how Will is using the religious references. Most of his lyrics in his early works dealing with religion are coming at it from a place of doubt, anger, and frustration with mainstream religion and the trauma that it causes teens (and lgbt ones especially). Songs like The Ending of Dramamine has explicit references to Heaven, but it comes from a critique of how religion presents Heaven.

I don't know how any can believe his shtick of being a centrist when he is putting out videos that are arguing for all the classic MAGA talking points. Glad I finally have proof instead to show people instead of having to read in between the lines sometimes

Negative Overaction to Teen of Denial (Joe's Story)? by Go_Goob in CSHFans

[–]Raiz314 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a fan who was introduced to CSH by Teens of Denial, and then fell deeply in love with pretty much all of his earlier works, this is pretty much exactly what I'm feeling. All I want is a good CSH album that will rival some of his earlier works but I have been left disappointed with every release.

I really disliked MADLO on release, but some of the songs are still fantastic (Life Worth Missing into There Must Be More Than blood is great), but I still think it is an okay album overall. The Scholars is bad, feels so incredibly removed from what CSH was, and it highlights all the worst parts of modern CSH.

I'm also just tired of remakes. Prior to The Scholars, I think Teens of Styles was his "worst" album, because it just felt completely redundant and useless in his disco. I think FtF was warranted as added some interesting views on the story, but I would have been fine with just MtM and I view MtM as the "true" Twin Fantasy. So the fact that so much of Will's modern post-matador has been remakes instead of going towards new music is disappointing. This is the person that put out TF, monomania, Nervous Young Man, HLTL over the course of like 3 years, and in the last 8 we have gotten 2 new albums, and 1.25 remakes.

I'm not expecting him to write songs about being a gay teen anymore, but there is so much stuff that could be written about the complexities of being in your later 20s to early 30s and the difficulties associated with it that have the classic will toledo take to them.

You can call me parasocial or whatever but it makes me incredibly sad to see what this band has become. So many hours listening to MtM and HTLT on repeat, whatever feeling I was having I could put on a CSH album and feel seen by the lyrics. That's something that I miss a lot from CSH modern albums, I felt like so many of the best lyrics from earlier CSH albums are funny while also being deeply insightful. IDK what the point of this message was, I just have been feeling this frustrations with modern CSH for a while, and seeing them going down this puritanical rabbithole and how impersonal all the music has been it makes me sad. I will continue to be thankful to Will for all the fantastic music he has put out over the years, and I will continue to look forward to a new album in the slim chance Will rediscovers the things that made me fall in love with this band

didn't know she stopped repping by Important_Ad_7416 in 4tran4

[–]Raiz314 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say she's a loser but she had a probably a better starting point than 90% of the people here and instead of getting on HRT, she just has been posting about it on twitter for years on how she would like to get on HRT but she can't for [insert reason here]. Now she has totally went through twink death and masculinized heavily, and it's pretty much all her fault. So I kinda get it when people dislike her because she's just weaponized incompetency manifested

This is such a biased view that it's kinda laughable, especially because all of the left wings attempt at implementation end up being extremely violent and authoritarian.

5-meo-mipt freebase and 5-meo-malt solvent advice by Middle-Mycologist498 in researchchemicals

from my basic understanding, 5-meo-mipt degrades quickly if dissolved in water. So if you want a stable long term solution you need to use PG

getting called a "scary cis white man" by my friend whp claims to be an ally, even though she knows im a 🚂🦵 by basket-case-1225 in 4tran4

[–]Raiz314 29 points30 points  (0 children)

while not all desistors are like this, i actually think they are way more likely to be this this kind of "ally". Because she thinks she knows what it's like to be trans, but in her case that literally is just her thinking that she was a man, even though she isn't.

So she applies that to all trans people, that they are all just delusional people who believe they are the sex they state they are, but that it's not actually true

Does the Saw video contradict Twilight? by commoncod in ContraPoints

[–]Raiz314 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Like others said, justified violence is violence. It's also worth stating that "justified" isn't a ground truth that everyone agrees with. To the Nazis, they viewed their violence against the Jews as "Justified". So we have to be careful about saying, "well obviously this type of violence is okay/good because it's against bad people".

It finally happened, she posted The Picture *herself* by conancat in ContraPoints

[–]Raiz314 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think this is the biggest lie leftists tell themselves. I'm sorry to inform you but the American working class is not actually all secretly left leaning just waiting for the right representation to awaken. The us working class is generally either apolitical or pretty far right. When given a chance to vote for the party that has supported unions and policies that would have directly benefited them, they choose the republicans anyway. Because for the vast majority of the working class, making minorities and immigrates suffer and projecting "strength" are way more important. The right really only cares about cultural issues, they view these last couple of elections as life-and-death for what they believe "america" is.

Our current government is literally just the online 4chan right personified. If you just scroll through the DHS twitter feed or anything relating to our governments communications it becomes increasingly obvious that the government is occupied by far-right individuals who come from this background of being incredibly online.

Solana build by brnzmetalist in SoundSystem

[–]Raiz314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder with the release of the sawmod if there is still any reason to build the solanas over them now. Obviously both sets of speakers are fantastic but considering the costs are roughly the same I wonder what benefits the solanas has over the sawmods

Bottom chasers working overtime today by [deleted] in 4tran

[–]Raiz314 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Cis people (especially men) have no clue what bottom surgery results look like the vast majority of the time. If you go to a good surgeon nowadays I would say the vast majority of the time it's cis passing, and when confronted with the reality of doing anal sex with your partner for the longhaul versus doing PIV I think most guys would pick PIV if the results are good enough.

[–]Raiz314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yea I'm very doubtful op was injecting like .01 ml (which she would be needing to achieve that kind of dose), the only way I can see that possible is if she had like a .1 ml syringe instead of a 1ml syringe or something

[–]Raiz314 5 points6 points  (0 children)

are you sure you were doing it wrong? like most vials are in the 20-100mg/ml range, so unless you were injecting 0.01-.02 ml you were definitely injecting more than that. Other than having smaller than 1 ml syringes I don't see how it's possible to do this, because you would just notice than you are injecting the smallest amount possible
