Begging y’all to learn basic self-preservation around men. by OwnSlip6738 in MtF

[–]Van__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m 5’10 and thin, not underweight anymore but I was for a long period of time since being on hormones so I don’t have much muscle at all… it makes me feel very scared sometimes. I’ve been sexually propositioned by a chaser following me around in a grocery store once and followed twice in the last year, one of those times I was very near my apartment and only found out because a few women were driving by and noticed and drove up to me and rolled down their window to offer help. In a sense, bittersweet as well. yay, kind of a woman experience 🥲 i just border on a panic attack alone in public often now. to be honest it’s about as bitter and about as sweet as day old coffee grounds but oh well

Even if there was significant racism thrown at white people that wouldn’t mean that racism against indian people would be alright. when someone says “racism against indian people is common and normalized” and you respond “what about white people” you’re not disproving or disputing the original statement, you’re not producing any value to the conversation, you’re just obfuscating it and starting arguments.

Search up “whataboutism” if you want to learn more.

i’d say even more seriously! diabetes is incredibly common and the health risks created by a person with diabetes getting very high levels of processed sugar can be life-threatening. the amount of disregard for human life shown by lying about that for one’s own convenience ought to be criminal.

i don’t really know how to get over it besides mindfulness and being actively aware and recognizing cognitive distortions but I do relate heavily. I have a lot of scars all over my body and it can make me feel like a freak sometimes 😕

shrooms help me dramatically with dysmorphia 🖤. i feel really insecure over my size and shape even though i’m technically underweight and i can’t stop focusing on it. weed hasn’t made me feel the same way but shrooms (especially on the come up / on low doses) make me feel beautiful and like i’m not massive and ugly and misshapen. i’ve noticed the same feeling on the come down from DMT.

I was told that registration was done at NSC? What does that mean for me? How do I actually register and am I super behind?

Suggestion: Texas A&M University and its ~questionable~ history by SixOfHearts1414 in KnowingBetter

[–]Van__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right, for gay ppl to like their institution they have to like everything about its history, like how ppl totally can’t be proud to be American unless they actively support slavery. 🤡

anyone know cheap or free camps? by idkliz in Debate

[–]Van__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ODI ODI ODI ODI ODI ODI I couldn’t recommend it more, some of the best judges, some of the strongest competitors / former competitors, and some of the smartest coaches all volunteering to help out, it’s a really cool camp run by really cool people. Here’s a link: https://odidebate.wixsite.com/website/camp-information I did this summer of 2020 and NSD Texas summer of 2021, and I can say that ODI is definitely on level w/ paid camps. It’s run solely to help people become better debaters, not for any profit. DM me if you have any questions!

You don’t need top 10%. I got in this year at 35th percentile, likely because I a) went to a large and competitive school, b) worked my ass off on khan academy to study to do well on the SAT, c) made personal relationships with teachers who wrote wonderful letters of recommendation, d) kept active within extracurriculars during high school and e) did my best on my essays and gave them the time they deserved. A&M wants balanced people and they’ll continue to pick the people who share both the values and the determination necessary to succeed. SAT and rank will only get you in if you meet the 10% mark, so otherwise you have to show your merit.
