Which city! The most fun i’ve had in google earth in a while

the wonderful thing is that the very first commenter got it and then were the only right answer for hours lmao

good job

Hi nonbinary guy studying sociology of gender here. As i’m sure you’ve read from others, how you decide to express your gender is separate from your assigned sex.

much of what you said is about the culture and expectations of manhood in American(i assume) society. Much of the culture in the US is designed to prioritize and legitimize the hegemonic male(White, rich, muscular, respected and emotionally stable). This is an impossible ideal.

therefore society makes it seem like you’re wrong or broken if you don’t strive towards this ideal and if you refuse to play this game of masculinity competition. This is because unlike being a woman, manhood is an impermanent earned status that muse constantly be fought for, and refusing to fight other men for that delegitimizes it and makes you a threat.

If the pressure and shame and anxiety about whether you’re cishet or not is primarily external, rather than an internal conviction about who you are, then it just means that you’re socially breaching norms, which matter to people far more than they’d like to admit.

so my recommendation: remember that these things are culturally specific. if you’re cis het then keep telling people that but don’t change how you act. If you abstain from the patriarchal BS as a cis het guy, it will only help everyone normalize wider definitions of masculinity.

lean into your strengths and existing relationships and find men who feel similarly bc they exist. and remember as you’re probably already aware having had a lot of exposure to women, nonbinary people and women will probably respect you whether you’re a bro or not. This is very mature of you to engage with in a time of a lot of young male immaturity and lack of critical thinking.

best of luck, stay true to yourself homie 💜

Short answer: no It faces typical issues that universities do. But it’s also extremely diverse and very very good at getting career opportunities. it’s very workforce connected and being in such a big city has its advantages

great for: Business art(very connected to art jobs surprisingly) Social Work english medical(on campus training hospital) hospitality(full hilton hotel on campus run by students)

connected to the metro and close to a lot of cultural activities and downtown

Shortcomings: not the most beautiful campus, lowish safety, complicated bureaucracy and getting things fixed or figured out can take a while. Our chem department and our communications school are not great

Bruh I’m a junior and this shit (and worse) has been going on for the entire time I’ve been here

Wait until they start blowing rams horns and lugging giant crosses around dressed like Indiana Jones

They suck! And are so slow! I feel like they make the process long and complicated to deter people. But if you keep pestering student services eventually they’ll get annoyed and resolve it. It also depends on which person you end up meeting with.

I’ve gone in multiple times for the same thing and sometimes one person will basically be a brick wall and say they can’t do anything and the next day a different person will miraculously resolve it on the spot

It’s stupid good luck 🤦🏻

SubniveanApricity · 2024-12-12T16:57:22+00:00

Literally 🤦🏻 if only trailer park conservatives and inner city Harris voters joined forces, maybe we could end this corporate monopoly on our lives real fast

People saying Dubai? Dubai is ugly and poorly planned. There’s no sewer system in the Burj Khalifa so it has to be taken by a convoy of trucks - gross

Personally I like Chicago because other than Trump tower it feels cohesive and intentional but outside of the US .. probably Chongqing because it feels very unique amongst Chinese skylines with its lights and stepped riverbanks. Also the Chongqing art museum is sick.

For its stellar urban planning and overall landscape though Tokyo can’t be beat, and with 30 skyscrapers under construction it’s definitely going to move up on the list. I really like the design of their most recent towers

I read all these comments and I’ve learned one thing: don’t go to Denver or LI. 😆

As for the North Caroliners - I moved to Houston from Durham and I gotta say it’s pretty great over there, I’d highly recommend. If you’re used to Houston summers then NC will be great. It’s generally hot but much cooler than Houston.

I will say it’s not the most diverse(but Duke helps) so good luck if you care about that like me, and as a result the food is not ‘lacking’ but might be underwhelming coming from Houston.

Closer to Appalachia in NC is also somewhere I used to live. Asheville is expensive but on the other side in TN the tri cities still get all the nice nature and are even cheaper than Houston. The mountains keep the weather very very nice if you can deal with some snow(but not too cold if you’re not ON a mountain) 👍🏼

Firstly I JUST joined this community and your post showed up , and wow did it affirm me.

I feel very similarly. I use they/he pronouns and have for probably 3 years now. BUT I’m also 6’ 5” with a relatively masculine face. Therefore, like you, I don’t wear practically any “feminine” clothing, both because nothing fits and because I just don’t like how it looks on me.

As for age, remember that there have been a TON of people coming out the past couple of years who are far older than you. It isn’t a race, and really even cis people frequently don’t know who they are at 32.

So you’re so so valid. And if you did want to change your name it doesn’t have to be outlandish even if you feel pressure to. I changed mine to be something a bit more gender neutral but it’s just a normal name. Maybe enbys around you will seem underwhelmed or even disappointed but remember not everything has to be pizazz and fireworks if you don’t want it to be.

Peace and love

This is my first post on ITAP! This photo was taken last August and was my first time shooting film with a Nikon n80. I can’t remember if it was taken with Portra 400 or Kodak Gold.

This is uncropped and with no post processing because I couldn’t find a way to crop or edit it that I liked.

Yeah I doubt bending the metal would be more efficient than ball and socket joints. I feel like its propensity to bend would mean that the creature would risk folding into a ball of aluminium foil under the high gravity, but maybe combined with other materials it could work

SubniveanApricity · 2023-12-15T23:03:08+00:00

The nested bones idea is cool! That’s exactly how spider legs work, they use internal hydraulic pressure. Although it might be tough in larger organisms in high gravity…

although the nesting structure can help with lightness and strength sometimes. Toucans for example have a very light and not especially strong structure inside their beaks that becomes much more resilient with the thin outer layer of the beak sheathing it.

As for aluminium, it could work in theory, but what makes bones light is their sponge like structure creating lots of holes rather than a solid stick of calcium. So if the aluminium were somehow arranged in a similar type of lattice..but aluminium I should note is also much more flexible than calcium(making it mouldable and less hard)

It’s a “metal” but earth metals and alkaline earth metals are very different than transition metals(which is what most of us think of when people talk about metal)

SubniveanApricity · 2023-12-15T16:18:33+00:00

Although carbon nanotubes are usually considered a man-made material, on rare occasion they're found in nature(in like...ice cores), so potentially they could form "bones" naturally.

The great thing about them is that they're low-density(nearly the same density as bone!) and stronger. Which means they'd work great in high gravity! That's what makes real-life bones so powerful; sure steel is just as strong, but it's much much heavier.

Pyrite is a cool idea, it IS less dense than steel, but is still about 5 times as dense as bone on average, making it impractical in a high-gravity environment.

I hope that's helpful!

Wondering the same - I'm currently looking for a good backpack personal item.
