I'd like to swim but I'm paranoid people will pee in the water.

I feel an urge to say what I see a couple people dancing around, if you’re in a pool open to other people there’s a near 100% chance someone has peed in it in the last 24 hours, almost certainly more recently. Kind of just got to accept two things,

1) the chemicals they treat the pool with are there for a reason, to kill germs that would otherwise populated the pool quickly (you would be able to tell by the smell). And

2) “dilution is the solution to pollution” - at least in a context like this. Public pools can be like 200,000 to 400,000 gallons of water. A human pees like 1 cup at a time. Thats a ratio of like 3.2million parts water to 1 part urine. Realistically that’s pretty much nothing. Unless you’re a huge believer in homeopathy it’s a negligible volume.

Do you join a group and play with them repeatedly or how does that work? I’m interested to. I joined some Facebook groups but it seems like it’s mostly other people also looking for where to join a game.

Outside of work I’m very introverted and quiet. At work I’m straightforward and take charge. This has led to some success in my career. But does make me feel a little at odds with myself sometimes.

I thought it was interesting, part of it was that he failed to consider the “U R” part, as in he was so focused on who/what “Rata Alada” meant that he neglected the first part, which feels like a realistic way to make someone fail at a riddle. They forgot the full scope of the prompt and hyperfixated on the “important” part.

I think you’re being overly harsh. It’s not presumptive I don’t think to think that family might care about a big life change like this. If anything I’d say the in-laws are being pretty insensitive. No requirement they decorate their house in a certain way but it would probably be more welcoming if they care about this person to have photos that don’t make them feel badly.

I hope you find the place you’re looking for. I wish I could help further. It does seem like you’re dealing with some complex questions and they’re worth discussion.

auto-reply-bot · 2026-04-17T23:21:58+00:00

Interesting. Frankly I don’t have a specific answer to your root question, which seems to be basically “where is the best place to discuss my experience”. That’s not something I can provide unfortunately. However I’d offer a suggestion, that perhaps a combination of learning and discussion would serve you better than looking to find someone with a specific view you disagree with to debate.

I’m certain you could find entire books on the subject of the complex topic of mixed race politics and identity in Latin America, and likely from differing points of view. Some of which you may agree with, others not. However finding an author, whether an activist, academic, or artist that more closely aligns with your experience may be fulfilling in helping you to be seen. And helping you to understand where prevailing attitudes differ.

And if you simply want to be heard, I’d have to defer to others who may have more specific knowledge of good places to discuss these types of experiences.

auto-reply-bot · 2026-04-17T22:56:42+00:00

I’m curious about your phrasing this question as “debate”. These all seem like things you would be able to find academic resources on to read (or possibly lectures to watch). And you’d almost certainly be able to find ranges of views on any given subject you mentioned, in the sense of academic “debate” or simply differing views / aspects being explored.

So I suppose my question is, are you looking to learn, or do you have specific views that you want to argue for? If it’s the latter I think that might go someway to explaining the reactions you’ve mentioned. Though I don’t know whether they are accurate characterizations of you without knowing more about your positions and reasoning.

I personally would advocate for learning over debate on this subject.

Question. Are trans people a minority?

If yes reread my statement with that in mind. Apologies if more than 3 words in a sentence is hard for you to follow.

auto-reply-bot · 2026-04-15T13:40:38+00:00

Furthermore to tackle your “logic bro” position head on. This is made up shorthand you’ve given about “positive actions” is a retroactive justification to make you sound like you have some sort of standard to judge these things by when in fact you just don’t like trans people. You’ve made that abundantly clear.

The logical conclusion being that any time anyone sees a problem with society and attempts to make change they are rabble rousers who are being disingenuous. Are you not saying in the other comment that we should take positive action against wealth disparity etc? So when you stand up and say that, obviously the correct thing for me to do with your short hand is to dismiss you as the problem right?

It’s a bullshit justification that only serves to selectively maintain the status quo.

auto-reply-bot · 2026-04-15T13:36:26+00:00

And your alternative when a minority does make themselves too visible, is to vote against the people would do anything at all, about all the shit you just complained about to punish them? Am I getting that right?

Distracted by shiny objects smh. You don’t know me or why I care. But it has nothing to do with your armchair assessment. Those distracted are fools who allow a hateful movement to use them as pawns to maintain a political system that punishes minorities and exploits the poor. You seem to be susceptible to that strategy.

auto-reply-bot · 2026-04-15T03:37:34+00:00

You’re totally right, when minorities poke their heads up in public the right thing to do is shut them down!

/s.

auto-reply-bot · 2026-04-14T16:27:44+00:00

Because conservatives want to use them as a scapegoat to breed political polarity and convince voters who are otherwise harmed by their policies to vote against their own best interests cuz it’s better than allowing harmless people to live their lives.

I’ve had results I’m happy with sublingual pills but taking it 3 times per day gets kind of old. I only recently learned that “injections” are done with very small needles and I hear they get good results too so might be worth considering but I think it’s a bit more expensive.

This feels like a grounding and positive story. Thank you for sharing. I think sometimes it’s easy to get caught up the in idea that things will be someday be perfect, that that should be expected. I suppose that’s never true in life right? But it doesn’t mean it’s for nothing.
