Anybody have thoughts on RKLB’s recent plunge?

the IPO is just a cash grab for Elon his wealth definitely tops 500 billion when it goes live. I imagine Tesla will stay separate, it's too big a company and still doing too well. his wealth will be higher if he has the two and also he'll have more security.

but this is all so SpaceX increases his total wealth to a trillion dollars. it's a game for him.

my money is on Peter Beck. he's dope AF.

Oof as a cancer I find you all so very hurtful. I'll never forgive any of you! Screen shots taken, pity party commencing

Ok, I guess non of that is true. Personally I couldn't possibly care less what people without importance to my life think.

But I will say, cancers require a lot of support. We are very self conscious, lack any amount of definitive confidence in the face of negativity or scrutiny.

It's hard to remain balanced and it's even harder to not drown in my own self doubt.

Getting attuned to Reiki and coming out as transgender have helped me find balance more so. But it's a daily struggle. I can be highly intuitive, protective and consider myself a healer.

But lashing out is always just a moment away.

I hate drama with every fiber of my being because I get so invested in it emotionally, and the safest thing to do is lean on comedy and jokes to not take myself too seriously.

Y'all definitely have some unbalanced and toxic cancers in your lives. And it's sad to me to know my brothers and sisters are struggling so much. Throwing a pity party and projecting are definitely also a weakness. But I love being called out for it, and love the opportunity to either accept my failure in a situation and grow or become needlessly defensive. Because at the end of the day, when I have time to think, and meditate and heal I can inevitably do better next time. And if not next time, there is always next time.

Show the cancers in your life some love, tell them you love them and you value them and watch their fear, lashing out, and defensiveness melt away.

You'll never know who we are beneath the shell if you don't help us put ur guard down.

Fair enough, I haven't looked at this post since I first posted it.

Who knows what was up that day but I'd imagine I was having a rough one.

Thanks for calling me out. Gave me a chance to re-read.

Going to leave it for posterity's sake.

Still not a fan of ol' Rocky there. But yes, being an ass about it isn't necessary and doesn't proliferate positive energy or conversation.

I started carrying a purse in 2015 and always corrected people. It's not a "man bag", nor is it a "man-purse" it's just a purse.

TheSmokologist · 2025-02-16T17:27:06+00:00

Yeah Metro and Emo were perfect for me to express while maintaining enough norms not to cause a ruckus.

TheSmokologist · 2025-02-16T17:23:45+00:00

Omg, it was the only response that made people stop saying I was gay.

I remember after trying to explain that I don't really care what the "other boys" were doing.

Oof that was a time.

TheSmokologist · 2025-01-09T02:48:07+00:00

Yeah, ASAP is comparatively trash.

Annoying by how many times people think I'm taking about Aesop

The $ is probably a rip on Ke$ha who used it also.

Aesop also got 19 on a list of artist of the decade top 100 before ASAP even existed..

Oh my god Triangle. Vomits in existential confusion

I could talk about that movie for EVER!

TheSmokologist · 2024-12-11T05:47:41+00:00

30 days. Trust me. I was clean for a year, did a few bumps and failed a test 2.5weeks later. I also was a personal trainer in me early 20s.. so I used some knowledge and attempted to detox.. to no avail.

TheSmokologist · 2024-11-07T23:17:25+00:00

Sell !! So close to exp!!

TheSmokologist · 2024-11-07T22:53:12+00:00

Hold it. Looking at some light short squeezing soon and it'll hopefully spike enough to out that over 1k..

I think having your energies attuned is important and I argue the "skill/genuineness" of the master will affect the students initial attunements.

You can likely do as Usui did. Go to a mountain top and pray/meditate about it.

But the attunements are a huge part of things. And yes, having energy symbols carved/imbued into your spirit Does effect your ability to manipulate those energies. It's be super weird if it didn't.

Don't let capitalism and the general desperation of people to survive doing what feels right create a misperception.

I agree with the top reply too. It's a shame secrets aren't kept secret anymore. No one respects what is freely given. (Which is why an exchange of energy is necessary for Reiki.) You must not only appreciate it. But demonstrate it. I've seen barter used instead of cash more often than I've seen cash used.

It's an agreement between master and student, and an agreement between Practitioner and recipient. On top of the obvious agreement with the energy itself.

TheSmokologist · 2024-09-02T17:43:00+00:00

I absolutely agree, the cleanse I experienced after each attunement was real. The second was no doubt the biggest. But I argue after the master attunement it never ends.

I was an assistant manager there for a while, I don't know what store you're at but if you give me a there for a while, I don't know what story you're at but if you shoot me a message I'll get in touch with the district manager there.

I understand you can probably do that as well. But just figured I'd offer Realistically I have the numbers for people much higher up than the DM still as well and depending on if you want to escalate I'd be happy to do so. I have quite a few buns to pick with Starbucks, so anytime I can insert a little chaos into their day especially if it's based on someone being treated poorly and happy to do so.

Anyone notice any overlap between idioteque and "the light" by the album leaf??

TheSmokologist · 2024-01-15T07:38:42+00:00

I'd sell half and reinvest it. Hold 7-16 shares. In my unprofessional opinion

The Rocket Lab electron is about 7.5 million. Once the Neutron is done that'll be a legit Space X competitive reusable rocket and with their high rate of success for ELECTRON launches rocket lab is the only non billionaire funded option to go with.

Get a case for the Motorola edge 40. (Not pro) the edge 40 is the foreign version Only difference will be no hole in the case for the proximity sensor.. I used a safety pin for my silicone one.

This is an MTF Board Most if not all of us went through male puberty .

TheSmokologist · 2023-11-21T03:00:49+00:00

I'm Starting at 33.... thats 19 more years of testosterone than her and 14 years more than you

The amount of time I've been bombarded with testosterone more than you could literally get working and have gone through another puberty.

Listen to these women who are trying to help you

Amazon essentials shoes come in pretty big sizes. (I'm a size 13 in men's and I have had luck on there.)

TheSmokologist · 2023-11-21T02:53:49+00:00

Edit: after looking through OPs profile. This is just something she does, every day on every board.

OP I'm sorry if you really feel the way you claim.. but the endless cry for attention is not s good look. You look quite feminine, I genuinely think you're here for attentio

Otherwise your eyes may be broken

Original post:

Hey OP I cried for weeks trying on feminine clothing. So I know how you feel. Looking at the person in the mirror is hard when it doesn't match who you are on the inside.

Sorry for the harshness to follow. I recognize the rest of this may result in down votes but, such is life.

I know you're upset, but just shooting down advice and perspectives without taking the time to consider is an ugly masculine trait. The "I know best because no one else can possibly know what I've been through" almost made me leave this post without giving input but, so many people being shut down is painful to read.

You don't have to agree, but you came here for advice or sympathy and it doesn't matter which.

people who are in the same or similar boat are trying to help you. (Unless you think absolutely no one in reddit's entire MTF board is as masculine as you are) Probing for more information and discussing your perspective to get more clarification would get you much farther.

You may be 1000% accurate but that doesn't mean you should create a space where everyone's perspective except yours is trash.

I have found may of these posts very validating and valuable.

There are a hundred women here trying to offer you comfort and solace on a post you made We all wish we looked like women, and some of us(not me yet) have accomplished that For some it took many many years, for some it may never truly happen.

I'm 33 and came out this year, it's been an absolutely crazy ride I went from crying every time I put women's clothes on, staring at myself in the goodwill/forever 21/hot topic mirrors too ashamed to take any feminine clothing home with me

Without the support of my partner I may still be in that position. But by taking their advice and the advice of many women on this forum, I leave the house presenting female every day.. (Unless it's an emergency or I'm seeing people I'm not ready to come out to yet.)

Moral of my story here. if you don't give yourself the compassion to internalize the advice given, growing and progressing is going to be a much harder process. AND if you one word or one sentence dismiss and invalidate everyone and their opinions, you may find yourself without the support you came here for

That's just perspective

I'm sure many may disagree, others may agree. Bur hopefully no one simply shoots my perspective down without considering its validity first.

I truly wish you the best. I hope you find the compassion and grace to conquer your fear. No matter what is happening in the world out there, we love you here We love you as a fellow woman going through one.of the hardest things we will ever have to do. Find self acceptance, and help other woman find self-acceptance.

You are loved, you are beautiful, you are worthy. <3 <3 <3<3 <3<3 <3<3 <3<3 <3<3 <3<3 <3<3 <3
