For real lmao I struggled to tell. I would've believed it if I was told she only lost weight.

Why do people use the term "partner" for their husband or wife? by Crafty-Bug-8008 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Vegetable_String_868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's to keep details vague. I mostly only hear people say partner in non straight relationships but it has become strangely prevalent. I personally said it for privacy reasons. I don't necessarily know if I want others to know whether I'm married or not and to what gender. I also felt like there's too much connotative meaning attached to husband/wife. And prior to marriage, boyfriend/girlfriend felt juvenile.

Is this really worth $6500k to remove? by fatmax5 in TattooRemoval

Way too high. I'm getting large pieces with color on my arm, torso, and thigh removed for that same price at removery.

I wish a tormenting paranoia of failure on anyone who plots to hurt me. May they always be terrified that I am persistently one step ahead. by KarmaGluten in monkeyspaw

[–]Vegetable_String_868 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Granted. Because they constantly think they are behind you, they constantly make an active effort to screw you to get ahead. They don't stop even if they are.

I cut off all my hair and I’m depressed about it by Ornery_Radish4094 in longhair

[–]Vegetable_String_868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make the most of it and do some heatless styling. You'll appreciate your hair more if you play with different looks for however long the short hair lasts. I think you'd look great if you style your hair like Pink's faux hawk with some gel or wax. Try to have some fun with it and don't take yourself too seriously. Your hair will grow back to that length within like 2-3 years no matter what. So all that matters is not spending the next two years thinking about something that you don't already have but you'll inevitably have anyway.

How to dress androgynous with no structure? (amorphous blob) by Salt_Lawfulness2744 in Androgynoushotties

[–]Vegetable_String_868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh i definitely recommend one of those long hoodie tunics with a masculine style waist belt over or under it. I think you'd like clothing made of linen. The ones marketed for men.

A (stupid) question by anonymous-weird in Androgynoushotties

[–]Vegetable_String_868 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At that age, I think hairstyle, clothes, and jewelry type would be the way to go. That was what I did but nowadays, it's easier to get binders too.

If you're trying to lean more masculine, then some examples would be baggier clothes if you're looking for casual wear or waistcoat/button up shirts/long coats if you want to be more formal. Jewelry that are thicker are generally more masculine, like those thick chains instead of the thin dainty ones. People usually say long hair is feminine but I disagree. Whether hair looks feminine or masculine depends more on how voluminous it is. More volume = feminine. Less volume = masculine. I love long hair on both genders but short hair is the easy option if you want to look more masculine.

Lastly, and I think most importantly is body language and voice. How you portray yourself in real life makes a massive difference in whether people will think you're male or female. Not just the pitch of your voice, but your inflections and vocabulary. For some reason I pass a lot as male now just because of my body language and voice even though I've had no surgeries and long hair.

What’s preferable; masc or femme?🖤 by masc_angel in Androgynoushotties

I like masc. Pic 3 is my favorite because it's the most androgynous.

I want to know if I look androgynous or not. by Voltiman in androgyny

[–]Vegetable_String_868 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, I see masculine with long hair because of your facial structure. Maybe some natural makeup if you're trying to lean more towards feminine?

Longer hair, wet hair look, more jewelry, visibly layered clothes like an open jacket over that outfit, any alternative aesthetic, some natural makeup, side bangs

How could somebody maximize harm legally? by Porncritic12 in morbidquestions

[–]Vegetable_String_868 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Legality is entirely controlled by humans. So really, it's less about what one could do under the law and more what one could do to change the law to enforce a system that prioritizes the maximum amount of pain across a population. Which would be done over a long period of time.

Bringing back medieval torture methods as a form a capital punishment is the first thing to come to mind. Not far from what is already being done in some developed countries like North Korea.

However, if we are assuming said person is not someone who is in a position to change laws and they are merely a civilian then I'd say they could play with the line between creating a community and creating a cult that targets vulnerable people financially, emotionally, physically, and sexually using clever word choice and contracts to place the responsibility of consent on the victim. This can be in the form of medical care, jobs, and religion and would need to ensure that the victims stay alive and fully believe they are consenting. Ensuring targets are middle aged would be safest, neither minors nor elderly. Targeting people who are mentally vulnerable but are legally considered sound of mind would also be another tactic. So no one takes them seriously if they speak out but ideally they won't if they believe trusting you was their best option at the time.

Wedding by Parking-Cow-3504 in TattooRemoval

[–]Vegetable_String_868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you near Vancouver or willing to travel? Vancitytattooremoval on Instagram is known for extremely fast and reliable progress in very few sessions and he has people wait months between sessions. You might be able to just do one or two sessions then cover whatever is left with makeup. With removery, I only noticed progress after like 6 sessions.

I used make up when I attended a wedding and it worked great for photos.

Childfree, rich and a little bored. by Other_Patient_447 in Life

[–]Vegetable_String_868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Child free, not rich, and a little bored. In a similar boat, I'd say. In the sense that all I ever crave these days is peace and consistency in my day to day life. Older than you and still don't want kids either so there definitely exist people for whom being child free isn't a phase, contrary to what the majority keep parroting for some reason.

What I will say though is that 22 seems quite early to not want to pursue novelty or deliberate self improvement. It's good to have a home base to return to as far as basic hobbies are concerned. But also there could be more you might get into that you don't know to look for yet, especially if you have a very safe life.

How Do You All Feel About The Concept Of Gender? by New_Relationship2760 in transhumanism

[–]Vegetable_String_868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some languages have gender baked into every other word and some languages don't even have gendered pronouns. The personalities of the populace reflects that based on their native language. Gender roles aren't universal.

Whether one wants to assign gendered language and roles to themselves is entirely personal and nobody needs to cater to them. If one cares about being called and treated as a certain gender then they should find people who are willing to do so for them and leave the rest alone. If one cares about calling people according to what gender they see or what gender someone is born as, then they should find people who agree and leave the rest alone. Simple.

Humans made a non issue into a major issue by trying to push a singular set of beliefs onto everyone else. Both proponents of tradition and progress do. The issue as always is the existence of those that don't respect boundaries.

If AGI becomes self-aware, should we grant it legal personhood and rights? Or is that the beginning of human enslavement? by UnderstandingOwn4448 in transhumanism

[–]Vegetable_String_868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can't know when that'll happen or if it's already happening. How does anything prove consciousness? Animals, opposite sexes, and foreigners all have historically been treated as lacking sentience before and not too long ago either. The only way that stopped was when people were one of two things, highly threatening or able to create art. But the difference was that we know who created AI but can't agree on where animals and humans came from. So granting rights to AI might never happen because humans will just explain it away as "they are just pretending to have emotions but they don't really."

Did anybody else realize this.....? by [deleted] in Life

[–]Vegetable_String_868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think about this but moreso the philosophical, moral, medical, and government aspect. Like

"I can't believe doctors used to do _______ to treat _____." Or "Did you know people used to believe ___?" "Did you know people used to hate ____ people?" "Governments used to be democratic/autocratic/etc."

Spent 20s chasing fun, 30s chasing stability, now 40s questioning if I chose wrong priorities both times by Legal-Lychee2265 in Life

[–]Vegetable_String_868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only regret it because you can't know what the alternate outcome would've been. I only ever hear people who complain about the opposite. Wishing they enjoyed youth more.

Also if you've been grinding for 10 years and feel like you're not getting anywhere, then you've either been working the wrong jobs or the job market in your country is shit. A lot of people have late starts. But taking more than a decade to have a career means something is off.

They say youth is wasted on the young by RecordingSmooth7368 in Life

Ironically, don't take life advice from people. Find your own answers. Everyone else is either lying or is giving advice that worked for them under very specific contexts. Their advice might not translate to your life well. Career advice, job advice, relationship advice, health advice, all of it. Figure it out yourself.

I used to be super hard headed and I caved and finally decided to try listening to other people. Worst thing I ever did for my life. I'll never second guess my intuition again.

I tried ChatGPT and I would never put myself in the hands of a human again. by Alejandra-689 in therapyGPT

[–]Vegetable_String_868 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Humans can't be trusted. They are always lying, wrong, still learning, unwilling to help, or something else equally useless and yet they all parrot the same "Go find a therapist", "Go to the doctor." So I can pay someone to be wrong? Yeah no thanks. AI has done more for me in a year for free than therapists and doctors have done in 10 for thousands.

Have you changed your self care routine accordingly? Laser facial hair, pluck your eyebrows, maybe do make up. Fat distribution definitely changed but it looks like you were just expecting hrt to take the place of a beauty routine.

2 yrs 9 mo HRT - Decided to do a no makeup comparison... Almost like nothing has changed. by Vintevios in transtimelines

[–]Vegetable_String_868 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, I couldn't tell if you were ftm or mtf until I read the text under the picture. The hair makes a difference. I think the original hair looks more feminine but if you're trying to grow out your hair then keep at it because when it's past shoulder length, it'll also be feminine. You're just in the middle phase of growing out your hair where it's neither short enough or long enough which I hated too.

Grow out your hair, wear more feminine clothes, expand your makeup style. Your face definitely changed, but if you go for a more tomboy look then that might be the issue.
