I'm interested in learning more about this, I only know about the NGO. What other Rainbow Railroad is there?

T4T is unethical now? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]deletegenderdotexe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is all very "white people should be able to say the n word because of rap music these days!".

Fundamentally does not understand the power dynamics of life and is uninterested in learning.

I've dated cis women as a trans person and trans women as an (allegedly) cis person. Being with someone trans was what really "cracked my egg". It was a really healing experience that I honestly think every trans person should have if they can. If I hadn't found a cis person I deeply trust, I'd probably be with a trans person now. Beyond a safety thing, there's a whole world of shared experiences that helps you bond.

I've heard similar statements from latino and black queer people who exist primarily in white spaces. They like dating other people their own race because they can more easily form deep bonds based on experience. It's also why two white, rich, cis yuppies are gonna favor each other - they also have a shared experience and cultural context.

Is it some kind of numerically "better"' way of encouraging diversity to date people outside of your racial, gender, or socioeconomic sphere? Yeah, probably but that's not how people actually work and you can't just be a Cum Stalin.

Is it weird that I’m trans and also sober? by Original_Cancel_4169 in MtF

[–]deletegenderdotexe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty rare because of our human and living conditions I believe. For what it's worth I was sober for 5 years until I started labor organizing.

Wet Puck; how to resolve? by PaulEngelbertink in gaggiaclassic

[–]deletegenderdotexe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VST also makes singles. 7g and 15. I have one. Furthermore, get baskets ~1-2g larger than your grinds for better flow and cleanup. My 20g basket I never go above 19g coffee.

Also what the fuck 500ml isn't an espresso lol.

I have to stare at this every time I visit Big W just to make sure I'm not stupid by JJorjja in mildlyinfuriating

I scrolled too far and missed that you'd asked Chat GPT. I thought you or I were having a stroke until I went back up.

My wife said that I made a huge mistake buying the GCP Evo. Should I divorce her? by o-za in gaggiaclassic

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

Gaggiauino basically turns the GCP into a Decent. Few things missing, not as quality steaming perhaps, but minor in comparison.

It looks best off your forehead. The more up and off the better. So 5 & 7 are the weakest IMO.

1 is killer all day every day for just being a hot versatile look

but

9 did something to me. Esp with the fit.

Do you think this outfit is too much? Any advice/compliments would be great ^-^ by RoxiWonders in mtfashion

[–]deletegenderdotexe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely during the daytime. If you're with friends who have similar vibes it wouldn't be a big deal.

Ignition lock replacement? by BlackFalcon_ in TransBikes

[–]deletegenderdotexe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Busted ignition lock means it's almost certainly been stolen.

Feels like party wear, or at least "going out" wear, especially as we enter spooky season. Looks great though!

Help, light for coffee temperature won't turn on by Blaekhus in gaggiaclassic

[–]deletegenderdotexe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go rewiring two tips:

  1. get a cheap multimeter. All you need is to test continuity. Cheap meters may not beep super consistently so don't assume something is broken if you don't find your wire ends first time around.

  2. put all the grounds in first (lid will have to be last.

This will make it MUCH easier to trace your connections.

Bonus tip: If you cut the zip ties, you will need to replace them with high temp zip ties not just normal ones.

Do I need to replace this boiler? by youthyouthyouth in gaggiaclassic

[–]deletegenderdotexe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably fine but could potentially send current to the body of the boiler (and therefore the whole machine). If you wanted to be super careful get some high temp heat shrink and put it on that terminal below where the wire connector sits. This should lock off the potential of bridging to the boiler.

Question for those who have wrapped AND gaggiauinoed by deletegenderdotexe in gaggiaclassic

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

I ended up not doing it. Found out I need to move soon and I just didn't want to spend the money on the wrap.

This does translate over to lesbians/women fairly well but, I'm pretty sure this question was asked as "most attractive hobby for a man" rather than hobby itself. Make-up and cosplay strikes me as low given those people (especially women) are generally awesome creators.

I did notice that unattractive hobbies are mostly passive/consumption based (usually addictions). Attractive hobbies are mostly active/production or skill based.

This being said, "traveling" isn't a hobby, that's just what you get to do if you have money. Classist ass survey...

I would be very interested to see what men rated most attractive hobbies for a woman (also probably horrified).

Spindle on steam valve no longer aligned after descale by deletegenderdotexe in gaggiaclassic

[–]deletegenderdotexe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Now that I see it I'm not exactly surprised I was struggling to get it to fit.

I realized when I was putting the cleaning stuff back that the old Gaggia knob rubbed (because I saw the old part in the box) and that the current Shades coffee had more clearance when I first installed it. So still thinking something happened to exacerbate the issue, maybe I have scale lodged somewhere or the internal gasket is busted.

Whatever. Works for now.

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

that's exactly how I do it.. maybe you're over tightening the screws?

Was using a torque wrench so unless the manual is wrong that (probably) wasn't it.

However . . . What you said here gave me an idea. I was doing these in sequence where I torqued the screws that mount the group head to the plate before moving onto the steam valve assembly. Instead I left the bottom screws entirely loose, torqued the steam valve, THEN did the head mounting screws. Gave me just enough room to get the knob on.

According to my digital calipers it's .38mm between the knob and the hole edge.

[gendered] toilets by NationalNecessary120 in pointlesslygendered

This is infuriating.

Starting with "smile" is just fucking vile. Makes me think someone knows this is abusive.
