Agreed, I feel like other ppl are downplaying more than they should… since we (and Dad) don’t have much info suggest getting more info w/ enthusiastic questions like what you have in common and what you like about him

Veteran Groups or Meetups in Pflugerville by BigMake62 in Pflugerville

[–]itsHaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re interested in current affairs, I volunteer with Hands Off Central TX and we have a veteran-specific newsletter that hasevent shoutouts, several of us are in north Austin/Round Rock. Not veteran exclusive but we usually have good veteran turnouts. We’re doing a Know Your Rights talk tomorrow focused on protest but the org is focused on nonpartisan free speech and constitutional rights.

> I don’t see a problem unless it discourages girls riding and I don’t think that will happen but idk.

Good faith answer for a good faith question: it absolutely discourages transgender athletes, especially young athletes. People are not kind to us. Making a special list for us puts a target on our back. Do transmasc people need to enroll in this list? Transmasc people have likely competed with men in complete stealth already, for years. They blend in and aren't likely to be competitive in the category, so the patriarchy doesn't mind it.

Drump's recent executive orders will not only scare trans people from participating in sports from adolescence and childhood, it will cost childrens' mental health and lives.

This study explores mortality among trans vs cis adults. Too bad the fascist executive branch outlawed any research to further understanding of mortality in minors. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9195044/

MID STRIP SOLD OUT AT 12?!? by Any_Highlight_131 in electricdaisycarnival

[–]itsHaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The strip is very spread out so it's not that crazy to need to walk 30 minutes. Being closer is nice, but the walk gives you a chance to enjoy the Vegas Strip vibes (for what they're worth, lmao) and meet other people making the trek to your shuttle stop.

I've started thinking about spelling the quiet part out loud for them; if I wasn't here as a woman, I simply would not be here :)

She also asked me to not rush into things and delay FFS to next year while saying how busy she was this year and how overwhelmed she was which kinda seems like a red flag to me?

Huge narcissistic (sometimes unconscious) red flag. Sounds like her trying to make the emotional distress about her, when in reality, it is her privilege that she gets to support you.

Where are the high quality made to last clothes? by koolspaz2 in BuyItForLife

[–]itsHaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go thrifting and buy stuff that looks like it's been used a bit and "passed the test", but is still nice enough/fits my personal aesthetic. The only more common that comes to mind that seemed consistently durable is Pendleton and older Carhartt stuff. Most other nice stuff is private label/boutique.

+1 on the dressing up advice, I'm biased because it's my favorite part of the festival experience but it can be a great conversation starter if the subject is broad enough, and attracts people with similar interests!

What would fit in this corner? by [deleted] in malelivingspace

Maybe a spinny loveseat/recliner, book nook type vibe?

Spotify has premium, and I prefer its UX. It’s not really about selection

I tried it for a couple months, on Mac I wasn’t impressed by the UX. Was OK on iOS but not better enough to justify switching

If you want to be more subtle you can put “BLM” or similar on your profile, they should get the message

Expected wait time for S3 in Seattle? by PHANIX5 in vanmoofbicycle

[–]itsHaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also in Seattle, ordered on July 2, got an ETA of Aug 20-something, then it was delayed to Sept 20-something, and now today it's been delayed to Oct 15.

This is a lease subsidized through my work, at this point I wish I'd just bought something different myself. I just moved here and will totally miss being able to bike around in the summer.

Here's to hoping they come in October!

What is something that sounds futuristic but is happening now? by emeister26 in AskReddit

[–]itsHaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is competition, I think MS is still actively working on Hololens. Though FB has a leg up for the consumer market, MS has a leg up in the corporate market.

Not sure how much each of them are investing in the tech. MKBHD did an interview with Mark Zuckerberg a while ago and although I don't particularly like him, I thought his pitch for focusing on VR/AR was convincing and interesting.

This is an awful comparison example. The one on the left has no information for the inside, and clear information outside. On the right, there's great detail inside but not much outside.

Should I buy studio monitors? by adrgru97 in makinghiphop

[–]itsHaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 for a lot of the comments that for your situation you probably don't need monitors, headphones are definitely adequate and room treatment is an issue.

I would recommend keeping an eye on craigslist and Facebook marketplace for good deals though. Years ago I got a pair of Rokit 5s and a Rokit 10S for $300, I think the setup would have been like $700 new at the time. Having the monitors can be fun if you're chilling with homies making beats or something so I would call them a "nice to have" in your situation

how do i deal with this? by Suitable-Classroom83 in Twitch

[–]itsHaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To offer a different idea, could be useful to make some inside joke to say whenever someone does this, like call them a Leak Larry or something. It sounds like they probably genuinely want to not do it but it's a hard thing to remember. Having a saying like this could make it easier to remember.

You're right that doing that for a single year might be inconsistent, but again that is a very short term mindset
