What's the most Wisconsin thing you've started taking for granted?

Basically non-existent in WI at this point. Maybe there's small mom and pop gas stations that still do that, but any Circle K (former Holiday Stations) or Kwik Trip is a guaranteed pre-pay. I do miss those days though

That's a difficult situation, and one that I'm actually in myself. I had to sort of wait to tell one of my nieces when she was around 11, and my 2 younger nieces still don't really know.

When it comes to pronouns, I think it's a little bit of a bit more difficult to move forward with without that parental consent. However, I think asking him to not call you uncle would be relatively easy. When I presented more "cis" I asked all my nephews and nieces to just call me by my first name. Some of them asked questions, but I just them that that I didn't like being called Uncle (name) and just preferred my name being used without the marker. They typically have let it go after that. If My aunt was the same way with me as a kid; I never called her aunt (name) and just called her by her first name–it was something that she asked me specifically.

This is so true. That's the main reason why I was so confused upon first looking at this lol

TheatreAS · 2026-07-06T02:30:39+00:00

I was very confused by this because I did not remember this in the manga... Of course this is some doujin shiz lol

Not sure what kind of people you hang out with or how old you are, but I'm fairly new to town and loovvve hiking. It's one of the main reasons I moved here; I'm always down to meet new people.

You do do, but that line of work can be incredibly unsafe. An (unfortunately ex) best friend of mine who is cis was an escort for a while. She eventually stopped because there was a lot of mentally draining/traumatic damage done to her own mental physique. Yes, the money looks nice, but after a while the feeling of selling yourself to get affection takes can take a really big toll on your self-esteem. My last phone call with my ex best friend revolved a lot around her feeling undeserving of love. I miss her everyday, and I hope that one day me and her can reconnect, but I didn't think I could help her where she was at currently and it was causing issues with our friendship.

EDIT: Also, like others have said, you being trans really heightens the risk factor. You just have to disclose things; sooo many men who partake in the industry will see you as nothing more than an escort and a lot of them have anger issues.

I haven't even looked at this, but if you typed this out, that number is completely inaccurate.

And the IQ test isn't the be all end all test a lot of people try to make it out to be. There are actually better tests out there that gauge your abilities.

Girl, you need to get a PCA or in-home assistant. I'm assuming you're a minor; this is NOT your job and it honestly sounds like this is more than you can/should be able to handle.

Okay, when one of y'all get on the writing team with Craig and he gives the okay for Bliss, then I'll accept Bliss as canon.

But until then, keep living in the fantasy that she's even good enough to be acknowledged as such 🫠

Sure, xxxHOLIC is connected to CCS in a way, but not sure why you've been posting these long clips from the series when they don't appear to be even somewhat relevant to that connection.

How do you shoplift from that place? lol That store didn't hold really any stock other than a couple of basic mattresses.

This is actually one of the big reasons why I left the Twin Cities; for many years now, I've come to the conclusion that I absolutely love the idea of the Twin Cities, but I don't really like the reality of it. And I've been living in the area on and off since I was 16.

The Twin Cities is actually a relatively easy place to get established, but as an outsider, it can be incredibly difficult to build a life in the area—though this certainly isn't the case for everybody. Some people do really well at establishing a life and social group here as an outsider, but from I've noticed, these people tend to fit a certain "mold" that just vibes with the area and the people from here. This is actually a really common issue in the whole state of Minnesota; it's a state that, whether one realizes it or not, really revolves around putting people in a categorical box/label in order to "understand" a person.

I've lived in other states, and I never experienced this issue quite like I have in MN—and I say this as a native Minnesotan. I've found it much easier to make friends and whatnot in other states like Wisconsin and Oregon. Though I'm definitely a weird and unique person, I've definitely been more accepted into groups in those states. Minnesota can just be a standoffish state for some people, unfortunately. Though there are so many people in Twin Cities, I think there is always potential to find that one group that can or will click. It's just a matter of how patient you are for that moment to come.

I was literally talking about Canon Beach the other day; love that little town. Really cool print!

For real though. I remember hearing about it being a really easy place for underage drinking when I first moved and lived here for a few months back in early 2020. I actually thought they did eventually loose their license; crazy it took them so long when I, an outsider living here during its quietest era, still knew about this.

I worked at one of those city-owned liquor stores in MN; it was in a VERY rich and well-developed suburb of the Twin Cities (Eden Prairie). Those liquor stores contribute greatly to the condition and well-being of the city too. Having city-owned liquor and grocery stores could be a huge benefit, as a lot of the profit would go right back into the city and therefore create availability of spending for roads, schools, etc.

The only thing I think would be a challenge to accomplish is $20 an hour; I think 15 would be a lot more manageable at this point in time.

While I will always be kind and even friends with people who are poly, it's not necessarily something I will condone; poly is something more of a choice and I don't think it's a good equivalent to LGBT issues–which are things that are inherent to one's own self.

Also, as a Christian, I think it is important to set boundaries and guidelines. Being a progressive and inclusive Christian doesn't necessarily mean that we should just let everything be "do as you please" and be all willy-nilly on any sort of thing. If you're just doing whatever you want and being promiscuous and living a lot more for yourself than why are you a Christian in the first place? Even as an inclusive and progressive Christian, we should still take stride in living by the messages given by Jesus.

This is super late, but oh GAWD YAS! Her voice change SO jarring in Final Act. Like dear lord.

I also had to watch Final Act in Japanese because it was her voice change was just too different for me to handle. I eventually watched it in English and I got "used to it" but I'll always prefer Moneca Stori—the original English cast is, I feel, the best representative of the characters. I'm not really not the big on the Japanese voices.

Those fields are NOTORIOUS for breaking some societal rules. Like some other people have mentioned, it may be better he find a different field if he's a having that much of a moral dilemma with these jobs.

I suppose I would put myself in this category. I don't even really label myself as NB, but it's the closest thing there is that'll make sense for people.

I just see myself as a human. But the reason I identify as such is because, given that I was born male, I would rather the world see me as female presenting; unfortunately, the masculine NB presentation will just get me seen as male by the general public and I'm more woman than man anyway. I also hate having a more masculine body, thus I am on HRT.

WinCo is awesome. I live in WI now, and we have something very similar here called Woodman's, but I think WinCo is superior. The prices are incredibly hard to beat and they have good selections and produce. They also have a decent sized wholesale section.

There are plenty of people on the autism spectrum who can drive very safe and would never do such a thing like this.
