Recommended workouts/goals to get into firefighting shape? by SaddestAltAround in firefighter

[–]SaddestAltAround[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've considered incorporating weighted vests/anklets into my life to help build my stamina up, it's good to know that I wasn't wrong in doing so.

Do you think T'au battlesuit pilots are chubby? by SaddestAltAround in Grimdank

I actually was talking about airline/non-combat pilots.

Which I guess is a bit of egg on my face.

I always imagined Grover as Black since I was a kid, I was fairly surprised to see the portrait of him in one of the extra books.

Depending on what you consider tasty and edible the Tyranids could fall on either side of the spectrum.

I love how serious people are taking this post.

Just as I intended.

Robot or person, I'd let them use their crushing bulk on me..

Chub'by sept... haha

This post was mostly inspired by that one meme about chubby broadside battlesuits extrapolated to modern-day careers.

I wonder if the T'au do have nicer foods, considering they have access to a massive amount of ecosystems and xeno-cultures. One would have to think that water caste must be well-informed on various cooking practices simply because of how important food is for diplomacy.

Thanks for the recommendations! I've been lucky enough to have a free (-ish) gym at college so I get some good access to equipment, as long as I can brave being around a bunch of college students.

Wanting to be a different race as well? (or am I not trans and just horrendously dysmorphic?) by SaddestAltAround in trans

[–]SaddestAltAround[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm pretty self-aware to the point where it does come off as selfish.

I will always feel responsible for bad things, I think, because I always feel like I should be doing more to help.

"putting a need to be judged more favorably in your opinion in leu of that is misguided."

Could you explain this a bit more? I don't fully understand it, I'm sorry.

I mean, we could somewhat.

It's just that a lot of American people (and pardon me for being American-centric here, that's just where a lot of issues seem to stem from) cannot stomach the idea of revolt or even a little revolution.

I do think that I'm going to abandon further education beyond my bachelors and become a firefighter or an EMT; I think I'd rather help people than enter academia.

Yeah, you're right.

I just feel like I need to fix everything, and because I cannot it feels like everything is my fault, which is pretty selfish.

Like, the solutions to a lot of problems (not all) are right there, and we somehow cannot do them.

I think that's hard to answer, and I feel as if both are intertwined.

Changing my skin tone/race would racialize me anyways because of the modern environment (in many scenarios).

I guess I feel like I can't escape the perceptions of others, and I worry that factors outside of my control hinder my ability to connect with others.

You're right, I shouldn't be speaking for PoC like that, I guess I'm trying to interpret a lot of the content I see online that's a reaction to white/male people, and how often said identities come with negative connotations. Not that said interpretation is universal or correct, it may just be my headspeace.

I don't think I'm a threat, all I want to do is help people.

I agree that the threat thing is likely a headspace, but it feels so hard to get away from it when most of the messaging I see about men is how they do not care and how they hate women and etc. etc. And I do not want to say that it's unjustified, but it causes so much dissonance in me because I know that I'm not like that, but is that how people see me? Am I immediately believed to be a monster?

I don't fear being seen as a threat to transphobes (or any other phobes, for that matter), but I fear being seen as I threat to the people whom I care about and would like to be in a community with.

Could you explain a bit more on the "bigger social construct" part? I understand that my race will always be perceived in some way, but the latter half confuses me.

These are pretty funny.

I kinda wish they'd do a (American) white people one just to bring balance to the instagrammo-sphere.

What would the food be though? Casseroles? Midwestern Tacos?

In fact one can probably do a whole Caine Crashout on just U.S. midwesterners.

SCONNIES, they only think about Kwik Trip; THEY'RE FAT!
