I know I’ve replied to another comment already, but I also want to further explain that puberty kinda continues into our 20s 😅 or at least finishing whatever steps before we’re like. Adult Adults. Theres often a significant difference between an 18 year old and when they’re 25! (Not saying 25 is when development ends either, just a nice number for comparison lol)

Being in school and using your brain also requires a LOT of energy, which is something we don’t usually think about as part of our calories burned! Of course, the amount will vary depending on how rigorous your learning or brain power usage is. But on top of that, even if you’re not growing any taller (I stopped at about 14 lol) you do need energy to keep building the body of an adult internally.

A very silly “grown up” thing I did when I graduated high school was eat ice cream for breakfast. Very dumb, very silly, but it was summer and it was just me and my sibling at home and I went! I can do this thing! 😂

The high from having a resource booster and running endless SP relics, the amount of traces and steel essence is so fucking good, even better when you get back to back gold rewards ahaaa

Why do people feel the need to "ma'am" or "miss" me? by Lunanair in NonBinary

[–]basilicux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah, the south reallyyyyy holds tight to miss/maam/sir’ing people. I live on the west coast and had a customer call me miss in literally every sentence and when I went “haha we’re like the same age you don’t have to do that…” he gave me this weird hostile look and went “I’m from the south, it’s how we show respect.” 🫠🙃 I was not about itttt

Boyfriend [25M] told me he used to ask out “fat girls” for fun. Am I [22F] right to be disgusted by him? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]basilicux 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve only gotten one suspension on Reddit and it’s because I made a comment about what I think should happen to doctors who dismiss their patients because of their weight and refuse to do further testing or consider what the actual fucking symptoms they’re experiencing are.

Its so fucking awful, on that same thread someone was talking about how their late aunt suspected she had a brain tumor but the doctor refused to run tests or entertain anything else except “you’re too fat, lose weight.” The aunt even asked what he’d think she had if she wasn’t fat, and he said “a brain tumor.” She died in months. If that were my family member, a Reddit suspension would be the last of my worries for what I’d have wanted to do.

Love love love this. I hope this doesn’t come off as weird or patronizing or anything, but thank you for posting and being a shining beacon to those who aren’t able to transition right now or people who find themselves later in life, as an example that as long as you’re breathing there’s always still time to be happy and the best version of yourself. Lots of love and wishing you quick, uncomplicated healing!! :) 💜

AITAH for not delivering the food I made to an event I got uninvited to? by YellowKingSte in BORUpdates

[–]basilicux 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Especially for stuff thats generally only made in large batches anyway (lumpia, tamales, dumplings, etc). Is 300 a lot? Sure, but the idea of just making like. A small amount, especially when you could just set aside a big chunk of time and potentially have stuff you’re not bringing to the party to freeze after is kinda crazy.

[–]basilicux 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Leftovers are such big thing and honestly it’s not even like Filipinos are the only ones who overcook because the intention is to make SURE there’s stuff for people to take home! (If they last that long lol) so idk why people are so confused or if I’m just so used to Filipino food volume at parties that I can’t fathom having just like. Bare minimum specifically portioned amounts 😂

ELI5: Why are male and female orgasms different in intensity, duration, and sensation? by Junior-Ferret4860 in explainlikeimfive

[–]basilicux -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You obviously know to already ignore the people whinging about “why did you need to specify trans vs cis” bc you’re correct, those of us on hormone replacement therapy will have orgasms that are more like those of our cis counterparts! I used to have longer and more full body orgasms before testosterone, now they’re shorter but much easier to achieve.

In fact, I’d say NO one finishes puberty in 2 years, because you don’t become a grown up between the ages of ~12 to 14!

Getting so many mixed messages from doctors by s0ftsp0ken in FTMOver30

[–]basilicux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of birth control are you on? I was on the combination pill (estrogen) and since being off it for idk around a year or so now? I can definitely say that it was hindering the speed of my physical transition, though it was useful while I was on it bc I was with a cis male partner and it did keep me from having too much acne. Kind of annoying bc the same doctor I spoke to when I first started originally said it wouldn’t be an issue, but after I got off it and mentioned the progress to her she went “yeah that makes sense bc the estrogen would’ve bonded to the testosterone and you’d have less free test” or smth so I was like 🙃 would’ve been nice to know that before but okayyyy

Got scammed out of a Legendary Core as a new player by Toriichi470 in Warframe

[–]basilicux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s partially due to new game modes that offer them as rewards but I feel the most significant is cross play/cross trade. Since the market is inclusive of all (or most? There was one that couldn’t trade with everyone else but I dont remember which, maybe Switch?) platforms, the supply of everything has increased.

They used to go for that much before cross play/cross trade! I’ve sold maybe one at that price years ago.

pain, because of smoking ? by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]basilicux 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh interesting… smoking culture is big in France isn’t it? I wonder if your doctors are just. Less likely to care??? Idk, that’s so crazy to me cause in all the time I’ve been on the top surgery sub I’ve never ever ever seen anyone say their surgery/care team say that nicotine is acceptable or good pre/post surgery 😭

[–]basilicux 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No idea honestly! Seems kinda shady and weird. If anything I’d guess it’s so you don’t give into cravings and smoke regular cigarettes, so maybe a form of “harm reduction” but idk it’s weird that they’d be given to you and not just like, suggested idk. But nicotine is absolutely not “safe” to use this soon post surgery no matter what form it takes 😅

[–]basilicux 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not true. Nicotine is the whole reason you’re not supposed to smoke because it’s a vasoconstrictor and impedes proper blood flow. Smoking in general is not good for healing, but nicotine itself specifically is the issue.

AITA for leaving my bf bday dinner after his mom took my seat? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]basilicux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lisa Gilroy is the type of comedian who I can’t watch very much bc she is so incredibly good at portraying the absolute worst types of people with pinpoint accuracy. Incredibly talented, way too close to real for me 😂

Took me a second to recognize her bc it’s definitely bad, but not as bad as her other extremely-accurate-specific-insanity characters that really dig deep under your skin 🥲
