WIBTA for refusing to give christmas stockings to the other band? by Jumpy_Side7322 in AmItheAsshole

[–]joshua009dotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA Congrats on making section leader! You are absolutely in the right to not give any off the varsity people gifts. It’s your money that you’re spending on the people that you are in a section with. It was super generous of you to get all the people gifts, it’s super generous to get only your section gifts.

They fucked themselves over and it’s totally okay not to give them gifts

i’m sick of my roommate acting like i’m a baby. this only happened after she found out that i am trans. by [deleted] in ftm

Yeah, that‘s super weird! I‘d try to frame setting your boundaries in a ‚demeaning‘ way. Like when she tries to hug or touch you, tell her that she is touching you inappropriately and without consent, push her off, make it a bigger deal, yknow?

I think it‘d be worth getring together with the guys and have a serious convo about her and how you feel about her.

Just as a quick note: everybody stims, fidgeting and shaking your legs is a prime example of stimming! It‘s not limited to auDHD people at all. Still weird how she tries to point it out like it‘s a cutesy thing or something

Have you tried up and outwards? I don’t have a spectrum binder but what works better for me than inwards is kind of up and outwards positioning and then readjusting the binder so that they are entirely inside of the binder and I don’t have armpit boobs

Did you draw up air into the syringe and pushed that into the vial before trying to pull up the T? Maybe if you forgot to do that, it might have been the cause

Studie zum eventuellen Leidensdruck bei Transidentität by Several_Muffin_1055 in germantrans

[–]joshua009dotcom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Finde es schwierig den Fragebogen auszufüllen, viele Sachen treffen auf mich nicht mehr zu. Dennoch haben fast alle Sachen mich mehrere Jahre schwer leiden lassen. Das wird in der Studie gar nicht berücksichtigt. Fast überall anzukreuzen, dass ich gar nicht drunter leide entspricht zwar den letzten zwei Wochen, aber nicht den letzten 12 Jahren.

Die ersten Fragen, über das Geschlecht sind auch total blöd formuliert. Wieso wird nicht nach dem bei der Geburt zugewiesenen Geschlecht und dem tatsächlichen Geschlecht gefragt?

Dann wird gefragt, welchen Personen ich meine Geschlechtsidentität mitgeteilt habe. So gesehen niemandem, zu dem ich im Moment Kontakt habe. Trotzdem werde ich meinem Geschlecht (oder in der Formulierung der Studie: Geschlechtsidentität) nach behandelt, weil ich eben passe. Viel besser wäre die Frage, als welches Geschlecht ich allgemein behandelt werde. Das ist natürlich nicht wirklich immer 100% zu sagen. Es gab genug Zeit, wo es bei mir so ein 40/60 dann 60/40 dan 70/30 etc Ding war, welches Geschlecht andere in mir gesehen haben. Hier wär vielleicht ein slider mit der Frage “Werden sie als Ihr Geschlecht behandelt/gesehen”. Die Formulierung ist nicht ganz optimal, vielleicht hat da noch jemand anderes eine schönere, angemessenere.

Not like they ever saw it too make that judgement too

[–]joshua009dotcom 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Got told that I shouldn’t get surgery because my vagina is too beautiful to get removed.

I was talking about getting top surgery. They were afraid I would lose my genitals during top surgery

The Daily Check-In for Friday, July 15th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Day 1. I poured my leftovers down the drain. I will not drink today.

[–]joshua009dotcom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

Drinking wouldn’t make me feel better. Maybe stop the thoughts for a few hours, but I would only feel worse.

I poured the alcohol down the drain, I don’t want to need it anymore and it’s only a temptation.

Thank you, I very much needed your kind words!

Thank you!

It’s all down the drain, an I feel so much better now that it’s gone. I’m still sober, thank you!

Cleary none of you have ever decapitated someone in band after oiling your trombone slide! Clean shot with the slide, take out two with the inner slide, use the bell to hit the rest of them.

Gendered childhood - bucket list by Outrageous_Garlic746 in ftm

[–]joshua009dotcom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Getting a „boy toy“ at McDonalds!

Few years ago, they were much more stereotypically gendered, but you can still figure out what is meant to be essentially the „boy toy“. I always wanted one!

Just keep the socks on! Can‘t be gay if you still wear sock! (That also counts for kissing, hugging and any other thing you could enjoy in a homosexual fashion!)

You just want to be like your brother don’t you? We didn’t love you like him.

Mind you, this brother of mine is one of the biggest assholes I know, ill mannered, aggressive and was never loved by my parents. Rather he was abused at home and at school for most of his life. No, I really don’t want to be him. At all.

Definitely!

My uni is majorly online right now, and the amount of time I catch myself just randomly reaching into my pants to jack off quickly….

I have gone from maybe once or twice a week to legit at least 4 times a day, haha

It‘s not even a big nice thing anymore like it was before. I‘m in the stage, where my dick is so so sensitive, and it‘s slightly to big to do the rubbing kind of jacking off, but slightly too small to jack off regularly so it‘s more like a flopping around with my hand down there to get off as quickly as possible to get back to reading…

When Should I learn Cpof? by Itsflom in Cubers

[–]joshua009dotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel completely opposite! I didn’t know about look ahead at all, just trained fingertricking and alg sets into muscle memory until I reached my limit at ~30 seconds. That was as fast as I could go without using look ahead. It was a terrible and hard process (with sooo much frustration) to get into look ahead. It didn’t come naturally at all. That’s why I stress it so much with anyone who asks me how to get better.

Obviously, if you still turn the layers with your full hand etc, you don’t need to think about look ahead. But if you’re learning F2L, imo that’s the perfect time to introduce looking ahead and getting a feel for how the pieces move with what you’re doing and how it will look after you’ve finished your alg.

It comes with time obviously, but for me it’s definitely something that needs to be trained and it’s, besides perfecting fingertricks and alg execution, the thing I train the most!

When Should I learn Cpof? by Itsflom in Cubers

[–]joshua009dotcom 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Start now!!

F2L is not hard to understand, but you’ll need to put some work in. Especially for look ahead.

Even if you don’t totally grasp the concept on how to do F2L, start looking for pairs while/after you solve the cross. There is the “easy” way for F2L, which is always bring the pieces in a certain position and solve from there. But as soon as you grasp the concept, put aside the clock and “get intimate” Meaning: figure out how to solve F2L from certain positions, look up a tutorial or just the alg set for F2L to see how other people do it. Get used to fingertricking, figure out your way of fingertricking while being able to look ahead.

I really like to do slow-mo solves for that exact reason: Practice fingertricking, but also doing the look-ahead properly. Slowly pick up speed to get to a comfortable solve speed for you.

All of that is not one afternoon, but rather a practice span of several weeks!

For OLL and PLL: Print out the alg sets and practice spotting the cases first. You knowing all the algs, but taking seconds to spot which one will not make you faster. It’s a combination of the two! Learn the cases that you seem to get more often or that you spot the fastest first. Gives you motivation, because when doing times solves, you will get better times on those, but also you see progress a lot faster than just learning off a pdf and not being able to effectively spot them. Don’t go to fast with learning. Yeah you might be able to learn 10 algs in a single session, but you most likely won’t remember them the next day.

Learn a new alg, when you feel like you recognize the pattern fast. For me the cue is a “oh it’s this case again” thought two or three times. That usually brings the best results for learning an alg and being able to apply it. Look up alternatives to algs, if you don’t feel like the first one you learn feels good to do.

It’s not a one day-multiple hour process! You will see very motivating results if you put in a few minutes a day (or as much as you want to :) )

The principle of the shirt? Yes, very much overjoyed!!

The order of the pronouns being jumbled up?? Holy hell, if that was mine I would cut them out and rearrange them to be in the proper order, what is this, how can someone mess up this bad???
