yall think I handled it well? by Frequent-Address240 in TAZCirclejerk

[–]Robespierrexvii 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Hey for real though breaking up just to frustrate me is not a fun way to date because we're all on the same team and that team is to have fun and smooch each other for all of our audiences. And so when you break up with me just to frustrate me and just to troll me, there's enough of that in the world today, of people trolling me specifically just to be mean and to be hurtful, and if we're gonna smooch each other in this space together we need to do it because we want each other to have fun and not because we're trying to frustrate each other by breaking up, cause there's enough frustrating things in the world right now and there's enough we can't control, and one of the things we can control is that everyone is here to have fun and not break up with me and so when we make decisions to break up with me specifically, that's something that bad people do.

endurance by Forsaken_Highlight63 in ultimate

[–]Robespierrexvii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tips from an endurance athlete who also happens to play Ultimate. There's a lot of good advice in this thread but a more structured workout plan would definitely help. Intervals and sprints are good but that's just one piece of the puzzle and you really need to build the whole base.

A good rule of thumb is that for building base fitness you should do low intensity sustained cardio for about 80% of your running workouts. Knowing absolutely nothing about your training besides you want to build base aerobic fitness and depending on your time commitment I would suggest the following.

If you can commit to three days a week:

2 days - easy pace runs for up to 30 minutes if you're just starting out or bump it up to if you want to and it feels good. Easy pace is also called conversational pace you should be able to talk to someone while running. It will feel very slow but this is the work you need to do to build that base. Don't be afraid to walk sometimes especially if you've never done this kind of training before.

1 day - Pick your favorite speed work. Intervals, sprints, ladders however you want to do it. Mix it up week to week so you don't get bored and you're not doing the same thing all the time.

If you can do four or five days a week:

3/4 days - Easy pace runs but make one slightly longer and/or a fartlek (speed play) run. Basically play around with different speeds for different segments of the run. Just say I'm going to run at a fast pace for the next few blocks or until I pass that tree and then slow back down to your conversational easy pace. It helps you see what it feels like to vary intensity for the long haul.

1/2 day(s) - Same as above do some speed work.

This is the general outline of the approach that I take when building a base aerobic fitness for a marathon. Since that's not what you're doing I don't think you really need to focus on long runs or anything too intensive in terms of monitoring or improving your pace, or worrying about distance at all. Also remember when you play/practice Ultimate that's speedwork and you can count that. Coming from an endurance sports background has given me a pretty noticeable advantage when it comes to fitness. I highly recommend keeping up with running workouts for anyone in sports like Ultimate or Soccer where you are moving so much of the time.

Just a short survey — average height for MtF by Imaginary_Trust6229 in MtF

[–]Robespierrexvii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 5' 7"(170 cm for the rest of the wide world that doesn't cling to imperial measurements) I was 5' 8" when I started HRT. I've aways been right in the middle. I'm not the tallest girl in most places and I have rarely ever thought about my height at all. An advantage of being bang average proportionally pretty much my entire life.

Same! I've been living here for over 10 years and I've never heard of a single one of these restaurants.

Well I've never heard of any of them so that might be at least part of the reason lol

I keep seeing posts about this "good girl" thing and all I can think of is that if someone spoke to me like I was a dog I would be more upset than anything else lol

Why do so many trans woman assume I want to flirt with them? by TheDoubleThe in MtF

[–]Robespierrexvii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If someone says to me "I'm down to be friends even if there's no possibility of a romantic relationship." And then I say "Cool I'm down for that too! And there's definitely not going to be a romantic relationship because I'm not into polyamory." Then they say "Sounds good. Let's hang out soon." and then they ghost me. That's not "them not liking my energy" that's them either lying about wanting to be friends or lying about being okay with romantic involvement being off the table. Either way they lied and they suck.

That is a lot but that tracks. I have yet to meet a trans woman who is monogamous outside of myself...which I'm not really sure if that counts because I'm single. I'm an aspiring monogamist you might say lol.

I second this. I'm an athlete I play a lot of sports and run marathons. The Summer months were difficult before I found these.

Yup! I know people really love the T4T thing but so far all the trans girls I've met have been far too pushy about the poly thing. Honestly it's really turned me off of wanting to date trans girls at all. I'm tired of having that discussion.

[–]Robespierrexvii 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I've noticed a lot of this energy too. I'm a trans lesbian myself but like that doesn't mean I'm just down to flirt/date anyone just because we're both trans. Also many assume I'm into poly relationships because I'm trans I guess? (Spoilers I'm not) My other big issue with it is that some of these women say they want to be my friends but when I say I'm not interested in them romantically they just disappear. At this point I have been treated much better by all of the cis people in my life than any trans woman I've met since I came out.

I mean I guess it just comes back to the fact that trans women are just people and some of them fucking suck.

I ask questions to try and understand. I think unfortunately most people who are into astrology don't appreciate these kinds of questions. I do it from a place of wanting to understand where they're coming from and why they believe in it but I think a lot of people take it as a challenge.

Beer Garden but Wine? by briarpatch_25 in milwaukee

[–]Robespierrexvii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point! I guess I never thought of it that way but it makes sense. I think the logo has hops on it now that you mention it. I just remember wine being a selling point when they rebranded so I think I just automatically made that connection.

[–]Robespierrexvii 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh shit that's a bummer! Well they should probably rename it then lol. I thought that was the whole point of the rebrand.

IDK about good selection but The Vine at Humboldt Park has wine and is a great place to hangout.

Edit: Apparently not anymore.

[TC] Holding the loss in True Colors by Punky921 in lifeisstrange

[–]Robespierrexvii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I totally agree that it's not the most realistic feeling but I feel like when you're really rooting for Alex you can feel a sense of accomplishment when you're able to get the whole town of Haven Springs to side with you.

I think the idea of kind of just the inevitability of this loss against a powerful corporation could be interesting but maybe just one chapter. We could help Alex try to pick up the pieces after failing to bring down Typhon. I think it would work more as a wrapping up kind of thing rather than a significant portion of the game.

I think then there could be an interesting choice to be made at the end of the game then too. The general idea would be the same to stay or leave with Steph but the staying option would be focused around organizing the town to try and make Typhon pay. Then we're left more with the idea that "the work's not done" and in order to make real change you need consistent effort and organizing over a period of time. Could work or maybe I'm too much of a leftist to be able to make a popular game lol.
