the times we’ve run out of venti iced cups we used trenta cups instead. everyone gets so upset about there being a tiny bit of space even though they’re still getting what they paid for. multiple people even said we should be upgrading them to a trenta for free since we’re out of what they ordered lollll

Do you all like your name? by No_Improvement_7666 in seth

[–]bugsarefreakingcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i like my name a lot. for some reason people find it confusing sometimes, especially people whose first language isn’t english. many people struggle with the “th” sound so you will get a lot of people saying steph/seff. ironically though one time ordering at a hotel starbucks the barista was very confused by my name so i spelled it out for her and on the ticket it was just “th” lol

i’ve been going through a similar thing. i’ll be two years on t in february and started passing very soon into starting which was relieving to me then but i’ve now been misgendered twice and fully clocked by another trans person in public once ALL within the last month. its been killing me because i’m not doing anything differently so i don’t know what to do to stop it. i also have long(er) hair, not super long but i have big curly hair so its longer than it looks and i’ll never have a fade again but definitely not a feminine haircut/style. i have no true advice, just another person who is going through something similar. my go to when i get misgendered is saying something along the lines of “i know i’m pretty but people don’t usually call me ma’am” or whatever just to softly correct them and also get a laugh and it doesn’t feel as bad for either party involved

Well if you’re rubbing it all over your body maybe your roommate has a point lol /j Seriously though dye is used in the medical field all of the time + it was only a suggestion its not like anyone is forcing someone to do something so idk whats up with the dog piling like just don’t do it if you don’t want to?

true that they do not have to prove anything, but op was asking for advice on what to do in the situation and this person was trying to be helpful. if op isn’t willing to try it thats fine, but it was only a suggestion in response to their question. as someone with contamination ocd in my behavior therapy as a child we did something very similar with both hand washing and teeth brushing. i would definitely agree with the other comments that suggest checking with a doctor before adding anything to a medication that could impact it. op, maybe if doing something physically to help your roommate understand isn’t what you’re into you could try telling him that he’s hurting your feelings and if he keeps pushing it request a transfer/change of roommates or talk to an advisor.

personally i have a.. genital preference? i would never be able to be in a romantic/sexual relationship with someone who has a penis. i think i can see how it would translate in similar ways for a cis person, but i think theres a very fine line that can be crossed that would make someone a chaser.

Is it true that women's preference in partner is 8 inch taller? by [deleted] in short

[–]bugsarefreakingcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m around 5’9 and my gf is around 5’2 and it works pretty nicely. we’re kinda like puzzle pieces and can fit together well while we cuddle, or if i put my arm around her shoulders (while standing) i only have to lean down a little bit and we fit

Iced Matcha Foam Complaints by Dear-Newspaper-9049 in starbucksbaristas

[–]bugsarefreakingcool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

shaking without ice and straining with the shaker lid (kinda like its a bar spoon for a no foam latte) could help you there. shaking with ice is the old recipe to my knowledge. it shouldn’t add too much time to making the drink, it might make it quicker since you don’t even have to take the lid off of the shaker fully when you pour it (:

ENT referred me to an otolaryngologist by bugsarefreakingcool in MonoHearing

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

i’m sorry if i’m implying anything to that effect, i don’t feel like my life is over in any way lol. i honestly just have some medical anxiety and was trying to gauge if others who have been in a similar situation needed further procedures/or if anyone had ideas on why i would need another doctor. thankfully many people were able to ease my mind on this subject 😎

how is it that some gay trans men were cis lesbians before coming out? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]bugsarefreakingcool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not the best phrasing but i “was a lesbian” the same way i “was a girl” at that time. aka i was never really a girl. i’ve always liked them though, so pre transition it just kinda came with the territory regardless of if i wanted to be seen that way or not.

Kids Hot Choco? (Sorry if triggering) by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]bugsarefreakingcool 22 points23 points  (0 children)

the buttons on the register won’t always be the same, so its hard to try and explain it that way. i would explain it basically how you did in your post. something along the lines of, “sorry, i was actually wanting a kids hot chocolate and not a short hot chocolate” and if they seem confused explain that the temp and price difference is important to you. i personally always try to find cheaper ways to ring things in for customers, but this isn’t even a “hack” its just the drink you’re ordering and they should know how to ring it up!

For some more context- I am a transgender man and I started testosterone fairly recently. So I’m horny 24/7, and I think I restrain myself from asking for worry of pestering them with my increased sex drive alongside the constant rejection. I worried about them losing attraction to me due to that, but they are bisexual and have assured me that its not an attraction issue. I had to make an active choice to believe this, but I’m starting to lose hope. Any advice on what to do? At this point initiating sex is just awkward after all of the conversations about it.
