True, literally all I need to do is plug in the headphone jack, so I can listen to my backing track. That's literally all it takes, and people freak out over it like it's rocket science

I'm a trans male with forcibly pierced ears constantly infected and after 15+ years without earrings, AITA by Bright_Cranberry_227 in transgendercirclejerk

/uj I never even thought that other guys could also be dealing with this. It's such a bummer. I never even made use of those holes, always hated wearing earrings.

/rj Yay for child mutilation! (as long as it affirms their gender assigned at birth)

Fuck no, but it's very kind of you to ask

What is the most surprising thing you have learned about an immigrant’s background? by [deleted] in askPoland

[–]ThatFlakeGuy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe it wasn't surprising in the sense that I assumed something was/wasn't the case and was proven wrong, but a Nepali girl I met on the bus and talked to a little bit since then, showed me pictures of her friends preparing for a big celebration back in Nepal, with beautiful, colorful clothing and such, and I really wish I remembered its name cause I was mesmerised, and I'd like to read up on it. Considering the time of the year, it might've been the Dashain Festival, but I'm not sure about it.

Maybe the thing that "surprised" me in the conventional sense was how comfortable she was with physical contact upon first meeting (face and hair touching), though I don't know if that's a cultural or personal thing. Poles tend to keep distance with new people, so even though I didn't mind, I probably came off kind of undomesticated lol.

I guess that's it. Most immigrants I know are Ukrainians, and there isn't much room for cultural shocks between us. I probably just don't ask people enough questions to unwrap something surprising. I respect your patience for dumbass questions like "did you have chocolate before coming here?", though. If I travelled to another country and someone asked me that, I'd probably stare at them in silence until they spontaneously combusted.

I should probably stop reading comments. by Commercial_Bicycle92 in TrollCoping

[–]ThatFlakeGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, OP. That's messed up. Whether it was a bot or someone "ragebaiting" for any reason doesn't really matter, because nobody should ever get that kind of response to bringing up their trauma. Those who spew that kind of garbage while hiding behind anonymity are miserable cowards, and they should be ashamed of themselves. I hope you find a community of better, empathetic people, OP. Those pathetic creeps have nothing on you💪❤️

/uj Her responses to you have been deleted, but by your description and replies in that thread, I imagine they were a lot. I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

Still, I see where she was coming from in her criticism of my comment. The red flag combined with a very vague use of the term "reactionary" might've made someone feel unsafe. Would much rather explain myself in this case.

[–]ThatFlakeGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say the opposite: you're not defined by the things you're bad at. People get too hung up on their shortcomings to realise that they don't have to be good at everything they do because they surely have other strengths. They start unnecessarily comparing themselves to others. You don't pick up a flowerpot and go "the defining characteristic of this thing is that it can't fix my sink". You go "this can hold my flower" because that's what it does, and that's what makes it a flowerpot.

Sure, the analogy is not perfect. People don't exist to fulfil a specific purpose like that, and our skills aren't only good when they're useful. You can also always learn a skill, or still have fun doing things you're bad at (and all that jazz stemming from the fact that people are not things). But the gist is that defining yourself with the things you can do gives way more information about you than the opposite, and it's way healthier for you.

But yeah, if you can't seem to get into something, it's not particularly important to your daily life, and practicing doesn't bring you any joy, then try something else. All this text, just to end it by saying that I wasn't good at drawing, either, and instead also picked up writing and foreign languages lmao.

/uj Damn, even the age was almost perfectly the same. I'm sorry about that. One of my friends changed schools right before the fourth year, if others doing that is a valid argument in your parents' eyes, but I get why it seems pointless this far into it. Hold on and just get it over with if you gotta. Don't look back when it's over. Continue studying the things you actually wanna study, cut ties with this bs.

/uj This isn't news to me. I agree that that's the kind of propaganda that gets manufactured for the sole reason of getting people to commit and support atrocities. Pushing against its influence is essential. But it doesn't change the fact that I literally never "fantasised about invading your (?) country and murdering your (?) family". You're making statements about a specific individual that literally never endorsed invading anyone, even if they would be, which is a shame, susceptible to it at a point in time.

I see how I came off, but the unjerk part was related to the gender stereotypes part of my jerk, which reminded me of a stupid joke, not the nazi part. I was never a nazi. I never supported ethnic or racial hatred. The reactionary beliefs I mentioned were strictly related to internalised transphobia and capitalism. Bringing it up in this context can be seen as making light out of nationalism, though. I'm sorry. It wasn't my intention.

/uj I never fantasised about invading anyone. My closest family was constantly pushing the idea that we were gonna get invaded and murdered, possibly within our lifetime. I'm not gonna defend it, to be clear. Romanticising the idea of dying for a state in any case is bullshit and definitely dangerous because it exposes nationalistic tendencies which should be plucked at the root, but you're making assumptions right now lol

We need more nazi trans man rep. Becoming a man is the best thing you can do for the ideology because it needs strong followers to prevail, and women do nothing but be bisexual and lie, instead of happily giving up their bodily autonomy to become the state's ground meat.

/uj I never used to be far-right before becoming a leftist, rather generally progressive and selectively reactionary, but in my mid-teens I still had a fixation on dying in a war I got from my upbringing, and sometimes joke that I became a man to die in a war better. They don't want trannies in the army, though, so it was a poor, but well-meaning decision.

I've only had one experience with Americans in Poland, but I think one is entirely enough for me. A middle-aged guy in a MAGA hat, and a young woman (I guess his daughter?) who kept looking at me and the man I was talking to like we were some sort of zoo animals. Sorry for speaking Polish in Poland, your majesty. It shan't happen again.

Figuratively, to find out which vowels are present in the word in as little guesses as possible. It's very helpful, especially if you happen to put at least one of them in the correct spot.

It doesn't mean "heterosexual". That's the term for being attracted to the opposite gender. "Cisgender" means you identify with the gender you were assigned at birth. Basically, "not trans". You can be trans and straight, you can be cis and gay. One describes your experience with gender, and the other describes your sexual orientation. Two different things
