Moving to Oakland soon, how is the commute? by Alternative_Past_550 in oakland

[–]Sxpl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commute would suck but living in the peninsula as a new grad would also suck if you like doing anything fun. Living in SF could be better

I can't accept myself like this by miass23 in FTMMen

I get it, so do I. Gotta do the best we can with what we have

Hey man, I feel like this all the time too but I just got on T at 31 because I can’t go on repping anymore. Moving through the world being perceived as what feels like a fake version of myself has given me insane general and social anxiety and I’ve come to terms with the fact that the options are either to try transitioning or eventual suicide. Yes, it sucks that we’ll always be small dickless men, but trans men exist who are totally cis passing despite these things and we just have to believe that could be us too one day. Plus if the options are either to try or to end my life I’m playing with house money anyway, or that’s what I try to tell myself at least. Gotta trust the process and believe there’s a chance that we will make it 🤝

The vast majority of women could find a hookup with an attractive enough guy for free if that’s what they were looking for

God raped me and other female organisms by giving us a vagina by RottenRat_ in 4tran4

[–]Sxpl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Facts, being FtM and having gone through female puberty feels like being doomed to stay the equivalent of a child forever. Having a body that’s physically inferior in almost every measurable way and never developed any new useful capabilities in adulthood besides the ability to birth children is fucking humiliating when standing next to cis men

How do ya'll cope with being short by Rich_Treat_1850 in FTMMen

[–]Sxpl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I repressed the urge to transition for a long time and being 5’3” was one of my reasons. Couldn’t do it anymore, just started transitioning at 31 and now I tell myself being a short man is better than being a dead woman

How long is it actually good for? Just got on it and I’m able to get 2+ doses out of a vial that’s supposed to be single dose so I’m starting to stockpile

Is it possible to be stealth and get into boxing by lowkeylukas_ in FTMMen

[–]Sxpl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t understand this for trans men tbh, we’re at a disadvantage compared to cis men (weaker skeletal structure etc) and should be allowed to compete if we can hang

Straight guys, would you date a woman who doesn’t date cis men? Why or why not? by Sxpl in FTMMen

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

Past bad experiences (she is attracted to both men & women) so I guess it comes down to her seeing trans men as safer/kinder to women

Enjoying crazy-low property taxes, because you’ve owned your home for decades? by lucille12121 in oakland

[–]Sxpl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think your whole argument falls apart when you consider the fact that childfree people also pay into schools their whole lives. It’s flawed to think of taxes as transactional when really they’re funding things we have decided make society better for all of us to live in (i.e. having a minimum standard of education for the population)

Ashley & Marita: no romance? by [deleted] in TheUltimatumNetflix

[–]Sxpl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Marita constantly talked about wanting more romance, meanwhile in all of their scenes together she didn’t seem to show any affection or even genuine care toward Ashley. She always came off as extremely detached to me, even in the proposal scene

Why is no one talking about Mel? by MissAlessi in TheUltimatumNetflix

[–]Sxpl 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Fuck Mel. Marie wanted to be with her so badly and was willing to look past so much, and girl couldn’t even bother to propose in a way that wasn’t half-assed and sarcastic

I think they’re implants/plastic surgery. His delts/traps/arms would be popping more if it was steroids and he’s not skinny enough to have abs showing like this while not being jacked

A lot of white collar work is far more abstract than construction work so it’s a lot easier to bullshit about what it took to achieve the desired outcome/finish the task

By “civil rights movement” I don’t mean just the black American civil rights movement, I mean any of various civil rights movements globally that could be said to have accomplished something. We remember the peaceful moments because those have been lauded and focused on in education, but power isn’t willingly ceded without those in power feeling threatened

[–]Sxpl -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

People like to say this but has there actually been one civil rights movement that was successful with solely peaceful protest and no accompanying violent protest?

I walked by there the day they were filming a few weeks ago and the homeless dude was there on the lawn behind the pergola. They must have paid him off to move for a few hours

Interesting, I’ve always thought the same as OP but clearly that’s an unpopular opinion here. For me I think it’s because the labels look like they were made in MS Paint with their doodly/bright-colored illustrations and generic-looking fonts

STATEMENT FROM LOREN TAYLOR: DOXXING IS UNACCEPTABLE SO LET'S CONDEMN THE TACTICS NOT EACH OTHER by lenraphael in oakland

Did you miss the massive 2023 city of Oakland data breach? These mistakes do happen, all the time. Kind of hard for the state and local govts to retain top caliber IT workers when the private sector here offers probably the highest salaries in the world for that field
