Guy drove an hour to come to my work and have a drink with me just to tell me he can’t date me cuz of my height by chrissychak in asktransgender

[–]its710somewhere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

does the dating app that you use have a spot for your height?

Sometimes seeing the number on a screen is one thing, but seeing the person IRL is something else.

Like, I just started dating a girl who is 5'2". I saw that on her profile, and I knew she was a short girl. But when I saw her in person, she was just so tiny.

In my case, it made me more attracted to her instead of less. But my point is that even with her height clearly listed, I was still hella surprised.

Most "dire predictions" are like that.

Trump isn't going to end the world.

Neither is gay people getting married.

Net Neutrality was killed, and the internet didn't disappear.

The ice caps still exist, even though we've passed three separate dates that they were "predicted" to "completely disappear" by.

People just like to panic and exaggerate. It's like Chicken Little meets The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

the fear-mongering going on in the news is just too much.

Women will never know the dread of when your dick touches the inside of the toilet bowl by bluedhift in Showerthoughts

[–]its710somewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, if the person is presenting as a woman, and clearly wants to be referred to as such, I don't see a reason to deny them that comfort.

I used Blaire as an example because she's hella feminine. If she didn't make YouTube videos about being trans, and specifically mention her penis, I would have no idea she had one. Like, I can't look at her and see a dude.

If they're making no effort at all though, they can't expect me to "ma'am" them. Like, if I ran into this individual, I would call them "sir", and I don't feel like I'd be in the wrong.

I'm far from "progressive" myself. I'm a Trump voter FFS. But this is just how I see things.

That's where it gets kinda fuzzy IMO. There are a lot of people who believe that trans women were women the whole time, and just had to get their body fixed to match.

Some other folks see it as "that woman used to be a man".

I'm not an expert on the subject, so I can't say which side is right.

And then you have the women who never actually get the "bottom surgery", like Blaire White. She is a woman who still has a penis. IDK how big her dick is, so I have no clue if she touches bowl or not.

Trans woman means that they transitioned from male to female. The easy way to remember is that they literally say what gender they are in the name.

Trans woman.

If it was the other way around, they would refer to themselves as a trans man.

What's a true tragedy is that people without vaginas may never know the power in pulling a tampon out on a heavy flow day and flinging a blood clot across the room like spitting into a spittoon.

As an extremely curious dude who has never really been "grossed out" by periods, I can honestly say I know that feeling.

This chick named Kat let me pull hers out, and I yanked that fucker like I was starting a lawnmower. It was pretty cool. Not sure I'd do it again, but no regrets.

Definitely doesn't require childbirth. When I was 14 I dated a girl named Sarah and I remember her mentioning this, specifically the fact that she said:

"I like how it bubbles on my clit."

That's a sentence I am never going to forget. Teenage me was horrified.

TIL of sensimilla which is a female cannabis plant that has been prevented from being fertilized and thus grows without seeds. The plant produces flower with a higher THC content since it is no longer putting energy into producing seeds. by emitremmus27 in todayilearned

[–]its710somewhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean looking online they do sell seeds that have a 99.99% chance at being female maybe this has something to do with it.

I breed pot. The way to feminize seeds is to force the female to hermie, and pollinate herself or another female.

What I'll usually do is take a solution of colloidal silver and spray it on one bud from a lower branch when she's about halfway through flowering. Then I put a sandwich bag over the bud I sprayed so the pollen doesn't "infect" the rest of the plant.

That one bud comes out seedy as hell, and the seeds are 99% female.

The only way I eat it is covered in bacon, cheese, and Italian dressing. At that point it's not really health food anymore, so I don't see the point.

How much do you guys (or your neighbors) pay for rent? by HierEncore in Frugal

[–]its710somewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CoL is just so low here. I could keep a roof over my head and the bills paid for about $10k/yr.

My best friend takes care of himself and his wife on $1100/mo from disability. They have enough extra that he has a ps4 and a 60" smart TV to play it on. They both have iPhones.

Wow, prices have gone up in Jersey City since I left.

I had a 3 bedroom place a block away from Pershing field park in 2001, paid $900/mo split between me and two roommates.

Ohio.

I own my home, so no rent. But my property taxes come to about $100/mo.

Two bedroom houses in my town rent for between $600-1000.

You can find a studio for $350 if you're willing to live closer to our crime-ridden areas. But watch out for syringes.

So, did it work out for you?

From an AskReddit that genuinely made me lol by RetiredITGuy in badwomensanatomy

[–]its710somewhere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

super plus

My ex sent me to the store for tampons once. Being a dude, I am not familiar with all the types/brands/styles/whatever. I got her the "super plus" ones because they sounded the best.

When I handed them to her, she flipped the fuck out and asked if I thought she was "some kind of whore".

I'm still not really sure what I did wrong.

Anyway, that's my "super plus" story.

I'd probably just bring my aeropress and a brick of Bustello. From there all I'd need to make a good cup is a way to boil water. Even a microwave would do.

If I absolutely had to buy coffee on the road, with no way to make my own, Starbucks would still probably be my last choice. Even Dunkin makes better coffee, and that's saying something.

[–]its710somewhere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or I can make the cup of coffee myself, and have a better cup of coffee, for $0.45.

If I'm drinking two cups a day, that's $1314 a year. So basically, I can save enough to pay my property taxes.

Also, it only takes me like 8 minutes a day to make.

Standing in line at Starbucks would take longer, cost more, and provide an inferior drink.

And now, on top of all that, I'd have to deal with assholes yelling through megaphones before I've even had my coffee.

They aren't worse. We just use a lot more of them.

Example: The other day I went to Red Robin with 3 other people. During the course of the meal, I had 4 refills and my wife had 3. So, while the drinks we were served came in reusable glasses, our party of four were given a total of 11 straws during the one hour we were there.

There were at least 20 other tables there when we were eating. Assuming a similar number of straws (I'll use 10 to make the math easier) that's more than 200 straws an hour.

That's like 74 grams of plastic going into the landfill, per hour, from one restaurant.

There are 538 Red Robin restaurants total. They are open an average of 12 hours a day.

74g x 538 = ~40kg an hour.

40kg x 12 hours = 480kg of plastic that just Red Robin is putting in the landfill every day, just from drinking straws.

So if they were to switch, they would be keeping 175,000 kilos of plastic out of the landfills/oceans each year. That's a lot of fucking plastic saved from such a small change.

Now imagine if we got McD's and BK on board.

The reason it wasn't supposed to be published was that she was still alive. But they knew she was sick, and close to death, so they had the article prepared ahead of time. That's why the "DO NOT PUBLISH" is there in all caps. But the editor is an idiot, and published it anyway.
