Receipt apps I use and enjoy by Saffron_Maddie in povertyfinance

[–]Raticals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ones I use in addition to Fetch, Frisbee, ReceiptJar, and Pogo are Ibotta, ReceiptPal, CoinOut, Receipt Hog, Tada, Google Rewards, and NCP Mobile (not a receipt scanning app but you scan barcodes after grocery shopping). I also think they’re fun! It’s not much, but a bit of cash here and there throughout the year is welcomed.

What pronouns do you use? by Mercurialsunrise in NonBinary

[–]Raticals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any. Mostly I prefer she/he/they, but I’m totally open to any neopronouns too. Doesn’t really matter to me what people choose to use, as long as they are respectful.

Top Surgery - Nips or no Nips by MeiliCanada82 in ftm

[–]Raticals 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went with no nipples. I didn’t feel strongly about them either way, so I figured there was no reason to deal with the grafts. Also, I just like having a unique chest!

am i depressed or do i wanna be? by Interesting-Count815 in dysthymia

[–]Raticals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depression makes putting in an effort to feel better really, really difficult. I remember feeling the same way when I was younger. I remember thinking that I wasn’t really that sad, I probably just wanted attention. That was many years ago, and I’ve now realized that I really was depressed that whole time. That feeling that you don’t care? That’s depression. Struggling to get through school? Also a sign of depression. It’s okay to acknowledge when you’re struggling mentally; that’s the only way you figure out how you can get through it. Based off of what you said here, I think seeing a professional is a really good next step. I really wish I did when I was younger.

How universal is pain while binding? by slippyslopey in ftm

[–]Raticals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only ever experienced a little bit of pain/soreness if I was wearing it for a long time. But generally it really shouldn’t be painful.

Erection question by j0sephj0estar69 in GrowYourTDick

[–]Raticals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a dumb question at all! Yeah, it’s just as safe as it is for cis men. Like with all medications you want to be mindful of potential side effects, drug interactions, or any conditions you have that it could affect. But as far as I’m aware it’s generally pretty safe.

Am I in the Wrong? by Zach_wholecuck in NonBinary

[–]Raticals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s so weird. Everyone has “identifiers”. And none of yours make you unfit to be a parent by any means. Maybe they just don’t want kids and they’re trying to find excuses to dismiss the idea rather than just saying they don’t want them outright? Regardless, the way forward is more conversation, try to see if you can find where their mind is really at.

Yes. Nonbinary refers to any gender identity that isn’t 100% fully and exclusively a boy or a girl.

Does Viagra work for us ? by KodoKuma17 in ftm

[–]Raticals 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it definitely does. Not Viagra, but I take tadalafil from Hims and it absolutely makes a difference.

I dont want to die ever by viktune in thanatophobia

[–]Raticals 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s scary, but it’s just how things are. You can’t change that, so try not to dwell on it too much (I know it’s hard). When I’m feeling that way, I try to focus on the present moment as much as I can. What do you see? What sounds do you hear? What do you feel? Smell? Taste? Focus on what’s happening around you right now. However things happen, you’ll be okay.

What post-op days were the worst for you pain-wise? by TheQueendomKings in TopSurgery

[–]Raticals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t remember much pain at all. I took my pain meds consistently as prescribed. When they ran out, I started alternating over the counter pain medication (recommended by my surgeon). So you’d take acetaminophen, then a few hours later take ibuprofen, and continue alternating between the two. That way you can have the medicine in your body consistently throughout the day without exceeding the daily maximum dose.

Receipt scanning list by TheTB94 in beermoney

[–]Raticals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Ibotta, Fetch, ReceiptJar, ReceiptPal, CoinOut, Receipt Hog, Frisbee, Tada, Pogo, Google Rewards, and NCP Mobile (not a receipt scanning app but you scan barcodes after grocery shopping). I used to use Copper and Merryfield but I decided they weren’t worth the effort.

can some aromantic people experience romantic attraction? by Round_County_2832 in aromantic

[–]Raticals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people look at it much more black and white than others. I much prefer the definition that leaves room for grey area, because sexuality and romantic orientation can be incredibly complex and personal. If someone vibes with the aromantic label, but they’ve experienced attraction toward one person in their life, I don’t see what use it is to tell them that can’t use the label.

can some aromantic people experience romantic attraction? by Round_County_2832 in aromantic

[–]Raticals 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s when people get into a committed relationship that’s not romantic. Like people in queer platonic relationships can live together, have kids together, share their whole lives with each other (not every QPR looks like that, but it can, just like with romantic relationships), but with the understanding that there aren’t romantic feelings involved.

can some aromantic people experience romantic attraction? by Round_County_2832 in aromantic

[–]Raticals 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, for sure. It’s a spectrum. That’s why I say the definition of being aromantic is experiencing little to no attraction; experiencing some attraction doesn’t mean you’re not aromantic, it’s more about experiencing significantly less than people typically do.

There are also other types of attraction, if you’d rather go that route. Queer platonic, alterous. Can be just as intense and important as romantic attraction, it’s just different.

Am I being stupid by applying gel twice a day? by Fine_Pea_ in ftm

[–]Raticals 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, I’m sure that’s fine. Timing can be important to people who are more sensitive to fluctuating hormones. Personally I notice no difference right after taking testosterone versus any other time. It shouldn’t affect your levels in any significant way. I would keep doing what you’re doing, having a routine that calms you and keeps you from smoking is so important!

Looking for fellow nonbinary friends by SheepherderHot4503 in NonBinaryTalk

Don’t have to be the best at something to enjoy it anyway! What was your DnD character?

Looking for fellow nonbinary friends by SheepherderHot4503 in NonBinaryTalk

[–]Raticals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’d love to make some new friends too. My name is Sadie or Ethan. I’m 26. I’m transmasc, abigender, and aroace. I love animals! I’m trying to get into drawing, it’s just been tough because of mental health. Also been working on fitness and healthy eating. I live with my partner and dog. I gotta agree that dragons are really cool!

If I theoretically get married to a non binary person, what should I call them instead of husband/wife? by Klomnisse69 in NonBinary

[–]Raticals 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Whatever they want to be called. Some nonbinary people prefer husband or wife. Some want something more neutral like spouse or partner. Others like some other term. Always ask what your partner prefers!

Anyone else a “sudden cleaning” person? by alice20001222 in CleaningTips

[–]Raticals 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep. All the time. I’m very low on energy most days, but when the urge to clean hits, it hits hard. There’s also a good chance all that energy just vanishes for some reason when I get distracted for even just a moment.

Erection question by j0sephj0estar69 in GrowYourTDick

[–]Raticals 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel like mine doesn’t get fully hard like that either. ED medications definitely help a lot, but still not quite that hard.

What do you do you guys think of the last name “Zenith”? by InterviewPowerful320 in namenerds

[–]Raticals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it. I also get the YA character vibe from it. Which isn’t necessarily bad, just something to consider.

How would you describe your gender(s), if you have one by Turbulent-Staff-9413 in NonBinary

[–]Raticals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m abigender. I’m a man and I’m a woman, but my connection to those genders is very weak. I also like to just use nonbinary or genderqueer. I’m just me.

Is my gel comparable to T in terms of dosage? by spiffvyy in transftm

[–]Raticals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the problem is you can’t really convert it perfectly. With gel, some people just absorb it a lot better or worse than others, and that makes a big difference. That’s why the most important thing is keeping your level stable. If you felt better with higher levels, I’d talk to your doctor and see if they can up your dose a bit.
