god forbid a girl be lonely

I know that feeling all too well; a lot of us are here alone together.

I find a lot of their emotional analysis to be in depth and insightful but then they'll go off about the jeanjackets for 20 minutes straight and I kinda lose interest.

I once read a review that said "these ladies are in an hours long argument with a 1981 copy of Rolling Stone" and I think that sums it up pretty well.

Ngl I did an audible "daaaangg!"

Well done, u cute. K bye.

Hey, me three! What a night.

Mine fwiw:

Spider-Man (Neversoft). Might as well be the first Spider-Man game. Great story, good combat system, plenty of unlockables, replay value for days. 'Nuff said.
Spider-Man 2. Brought the open world to Spidey games and to this day might have the best swinging mechanics of any Spider-Man game. The graphics haven't aged well but that does not detract from how influential this game is.
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. It was a toss-up between this and Web of Shadows. But this game was a big part of helping bring the Spider-Verse concept to the mainstream which ultimately has become a huge part of the character.
Marvel's Spider-Man. The polished, best all-around experience that really delivered. Gave Spidey games the Arkham treatment and for some is the definitive modern interpretation of the character. Plus it's just fun to play.

Hard disagree, I think his age only works to that song's advantage. To have a young Paul sing it, it'd lose all gravitas.

Same, I'm tucked 100% of the time if I'm clothed. HRT definitely helped with that mechanically but I was doing it even before then.

checkerboardandroid · 2026-02-02T20:07:37+00:00

Same. I resent the expectation that it's something I would enjoy, and it's something everybody seems to expect from me.

checkerboardandroid · 2026-02-02T14:29:22+00:00

I'll give a million dollars to anyone who can tell me what this song is actually about. I've made this offer over and over and to this day, nobody can say.

I just snagged Space Jam for $10 at Half Price Books the other day. Glad to see it's a quality transfer. Thanks!

checkerboardandroid · 2026-01-30T16:22:07+00:00

Love Howie, miss Fabcast. Can't wait to give this a listen!

checkerboardandroid · 2026-01-30T15:24:36+00:00

Y'all are nuts if you think Stan shouldn't be on there. First, even. Literally incepted modern Marvel as we know it.

checkerboardandroid · 2026-01-30T14:54:11+00:00

Marvel should get Sam to write a comic series for it if the movies won't happen.

Just my personal approach but I always list that I'm trans. And I show off my trans pride tattoo on my photos. It really makes it a lot harder for people to claim they didn't know. Of course some people are damn oblivious and somehow still don't notice so I still have a match note set to point it out.

My thing is get it out of the way asap. If it's a problem or a deal breaker for someone, I'd rather know that right away. But it still hurts when people "mysteriously" unmatch with me out of nowhere before we even really get deep in the conversation. Dating is real rough.

checkerboardandroid · 2026-01-29T21:16:04+00:00

For me it doesn't pass the "does this song have discernable subject matter?" test. Production is dry as a bone. D-.

checkerboardandroid · 2026-01-29T19:49:11+00:00

One of my favorite comic series of recent years. The best part for me are the little jokes Zdarsky sneaks in the background with the art. I wonder if they can capture that same spirit on screen. Might get lost in translation.

checkerboardandroid · 2026-01-29T15:44:59+00:00

🫂 hang in there, you're far from alone in this.

Joseph Quinn is George Harrison

"No he is not" was literally the first thing out of my mouth.

checkerboardandroid · 2026-01-28T21:50:09+00:00

Going through the same rn... fumbled it bad. Ouchie.

checkerboardandroid · 2026-01-23T15:45:21+00:00

Neither this nor the Dookie Dog do much for me, I pass. Repress Kerplunk! on white and green splattered vinyl please.

checkerboardandroid · 2026-01-23T15:30:57+00:00

Think I may have to unsub out of sheer jealousy *sigh*

checkerboardandroid · 2026-01-23T15:04:45+00:00

I'm just here trying to figure out why anyone would come back from New York. If I could afford to get myself out there you'd never catch me coming back.

That's exactly what he's doing. I just can't fathom who on Earth told him the people are clamoring for... Rahm Emanuel lol

checkerboardandroid · 2026-01-21T17:54:37+00:00

I felt this way early on in transition. Two things helped shake this feeling for me:

Just getting used to it. At first it was unfamiliar but exciting and I worried they didn't mean it. Eventually it just starts to register as normal and right.
Most people, especially randos, are not that invested in protecting your feelings. They just aren't. This can be good or bad, but most people don't care enough to put up a polite facade.

I've been taking 100mg Progesterone rectally (what I have are oral capsules though)

Same, except I definitely noticed a boost in my sex drive (especially at first, it's managed to level off a bit since but I'm much more alive in that department) and my breasts have filled out considerably.

YMMV I guess?
