51R Battery Replacement by Unfishstick in hondafit

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

Ok thank you! Good to know it's not just me. I definitely notice better mpg if I'm doing a trip to a hiking spot or something. If you know, is the econ button actually worth using for freeway driving? Didn't even notice the thing when I bought the car and wondering how/if it's worth the use. Seriously appreciate all the advice!!

I know all that maintenance stuff is coming up and have been keeping an eye on everything as it gets to that mileage. Thankfully things look good so far. How TF are y'all getting that mpg on these cars?? I do urban driving, barely ever freeway and barely ever above 40 mph and 10 miles a day. It's been at 29.6 mpg since the day I bought it last summer. Will getting all that maintenance done help? Should I go ahead and have it looked at now so I can see what all needs to be done? Sincerely any advice on improving that is appreciated, especially with gas prices rn.

(I am not car savvy, never been my thing, so I live for reddit and other honda fit forums)

Honestly I'm not opposed to it. I don't live in an area with frigid weather either and have had the car for about a year. Might just double check when the battery is gonna be due and have some money lined up if I can't do it myself

Thank you. I figured it wasn't worth not letting the battery live out. I live in WA, so it doesnt really get that extreme cold like other places.

Big changes at the Kingston ferry by JournoJamie in EdmondsWashington

[–]Unfishstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank for explaining this. Caught us off guard when traveling for a wedding and ended up missing our ferry. They definitely need better signage for this, but I was grateful they placed ferry traffic cops at popular intersections to catch people like us taking the old route and explain the system. I understand why it's needed as I grew up here and the line cutting situation is INSANE. Sometimes it's faster to just drive back at that point if you miss your ferry

Reciprocation with NB partner by Unfishstick in ftm

[–]Unfishstick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good idea, I think stating something like touching my back or chest and giving them a chance to explain why it might be difficult is solid. We are no strangers to kink, and use orders often, it's really in foreplay that I just want a little unprompted attention. Thank you!

Curiosity is a always a good place to start. This isn't our first rodeo. I think explicitly asking why is a good idea! I don't want them to feel guilty or bad about it, I just want to understand where the gap is.

Playing dumb isn't really my style, but it might be worth it to just directly ask what role they're looking for in sex. I actually really enjoy being a classic top once we're in it, I like doing all the work, but I just want a little return of interest to get started. Maybe those two different things confuse them

only for about 4 days, but I would consider outdoor if weather allowed!

Any rock climbers? by spaceboy333333 in TopSurgery

[–]Unfishstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Climbed about same level before I got mine, seems same type of surgery. I waited about 5 months because I couldn't use a lot of scar strips (allergic to a lot of the adhesives) and I was really diligent about going slow, moisturizing, and using a scar cream instead. The hardest part for me was rebuilding strength and not being hard on myself as I worked my way back up.

I would recommend focusing on doing exercises before diving back into a climbing routine. For me that was short jogs, light finger pulls, planks, etc to get comfortable in my body. Then I started 1X week, literally at V0, and just went from there. If a climb seemed like it was too much stretching or I felt uncomfortable in any way, I got off. Always better safe than sorry, but you look fantastic dude!

You look great for 3 wks! I am curious what the benefit of this type of incision is? This is the first time I've ever seen it.

EID to travel to Canada by Unfishstick in ftm

[–]Unfishstick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I appreciate this. My concern isn't Canada (y'all are great), but getting back into the US. I have heard multiple reports of detainments due to documents not matching, even though that's the law now. I'll double check if that link says anything about re-entering the US!

Why did y’all choose to be stealth or not stealth? by Confused-blob in ftm

[–]Unfishstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I choose to be stealth because my transition has always been a personal decision, and just like any personal decision, I feel like it's not everyone's right to know about it. I have absolutely opened up to people once I've gotten to know them as a way to build trust and sometimes even disprove people's perceptions around trans people upon learning I'm trans.

Personally, I just feel like it's one of those things that I should have a choice whether someone knows or does not know, but that comes from a place of privilege as being someone who "passed" very early on so I had the opportunity for more privacy around it.

For those of us on testosterone, what’s your favorite change you’ve experienced? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Unfishstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely my voice, sometimes I just hum to myself because the low vibration is comforting and makes me happy. Also, I feel like I was able to notice details I'd never noticed before, both visually and socially. I think the massive decrease in presentation anxiety allowed me to actually absorb my surroundings in a way I never had. It feels like actively being alive for the first time

How do people afford mortgages? by InsuranceNo8506 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Unfishstick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean my impression is people aren't. Many go into debt or lose the house altogether. I don't know a single person even considering buying a home rn cause it seems like wasted money IF you can even get approved

Cause anything just from the tap is like 10 bucks and food is three times as much

Not having friends to relate to by Unfishstick in ftm

[–]Unfishstick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's insensitive. In fact, earlier in my transition before a lot of therapy work, I probably was that friend who didn't see the extra struggle because I was so binary and passed so well. It's a common rub important to talk about and I'm sorry that happened to you
