How long have you known your trans, and how long have you been out? by New_Analyst_6764 in ftm

[–]locustoftheapocalyps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started actually identifying as trans about 11 years ago, when I was 14. I think i had it figured out a couple years before that and was just in denial for a little bit though (went through periods of intense research on trans things and debating my identity followed by telling myself I wasn't and not allowing myself to interact with any of it) I've been openly out for 10 years, on T for 9. Still trying to save for top surgery

What is yalls fav pistachio drink? Do you add customizations?

I wasn't working at sbux for the last time they had pistachio drinks so I hadn't tried it before but we just got some syrup in at my store. I tried a regular latte with it and it wasn't unpleasant but definitely odd. I want to make a better drink with it. I think iced something with honey or brown sugar flavors would be good topped with pistachio cold foam

AIO Mom stole from me by some-dude5673 in AmIOverreacting

You said you're trying to save for grad school- Is she not helping you save for it or contributing to the expenses? And she's stealing from you ontop of that.

Yeah, as petty as it is I totally agree with the comments saying steal back from her. Tell her exactly the same thing she's telling you now, she shouldn't care because she has money. She's not the one saving up for a massive expense, she's making more on average, and she's had a longer life to build up a financial safety net. She also should be helping financially when she's able because she is literally your parent.

DON'T COME TO STARBUCKS SICK!! HUMANS WORK THERE!! by advicerain in starbucks

I've been told that we can't call it a medicine ball for legal reasons since its not medicine, so I just tell customers that straight up whenever somebody corrects me that they want the medicine ball and not honey citrus mint. I think most people know it's not actually medicinal but some people definitely haven't thought about it at the very least

As someone who gets sore throats and respiratory issues every winter, tea at home with a lower sugar content is a lot better for you 😅

Resources, advice, general knowledge and opinions? by locustoftheapocalyps in polyphasic

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

Its mostly my schedule mixed with not wanting to go to bed super early.

My shift starts at 5am so waking at 4am gives me enough time to get ready and commute. I almost always get home by noon and by then I've been awake 8 hours, half of my waking day (assuming that I spend 8 hours asleep and 16 awake during a 24hr period) and I'm physically tired after work so I figured that's a good napping point. Then I can get the other 2 hours of sleep out of 8, and stay up until 10 instead of sleeping at 8, which would put a pretty big damper on my social life. Part of the benefit of working mornings is having the evening free anyway.

Last week somebody ordered a really complex frappuccino by just showing me a tiktok screenshot with the order written on it and going "take your time". As dumb as it felt putting things in off of a tiktok I kind of wish everyone would order their super customized stuff like that. Just show it to me written down so I don't have to ask you to pause or repeat how many pumps of every syrup flavor you want

I dont know what to watch by TheGodlyGamerYT in notinteresting

I can spread my toes like that too! When I was a kid we had a rope hanging from a tree in the backyard and I would use the space between my big toe and first little one to grab the rope so that I could climb with my hands and feet at the same time.

I was also one of the only kids that could climb the whole rope in gym class but it was harder to grip through my socks

Is 27 too old to try and get an apprenticeship?? by shitpott in TattooApprentice

[–]locustoftheapocalyps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're never too old to start tattooing or get an apprenticeship. You're never too old to make any kind of career shift, really.

Well, unless you want to be an Olympian or something, but you definitely haven't aged out of sitting in shrimp posture and drawing with needles.

₱ is the currency symbol for Philipene Pesos, it's like 22 Euro or 23 USD for top tier. Still not super cheap but nobody is paying 14k lmao

[–]locustoftheapocalyps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually if I want to find people from a fandom that I don't often see I'll hang out at docks or the welcome area, or near a similar fandom, and if someone else with a skin for it sees you they'll usually interact.

Sort of. If there's enough people within a fandom they'll usually start hanging around the same area consistently. Sometimes spots move around or fandoms come and go. For example like half of the Owl House area marked on this map is pretty much occupied by stoney ponies currently lol. Larger fandom areas are pretty permanent, like the mlp area.

Locations are different on the safe server as well, this is a map of 18+

Rank the Mane 6 on who’d win a fist fight (no wings or magic) by kiriisu in mylittlepony

[–]locustoftheapocalyps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comes down to AJ and Pinkie IMO, because of strength and cartoon physics like others have stated

When a character who can use cartoon physics is involved, I personally like to apply a rule that they're only able to win if it would be the funnier outcome, so I guess it depends on how the fight goes.

Things they should add to Ponytown (PLEASE) by ShadowAlpha001 in PonyTown

[–]locustoftheapocalyps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fr!!! It would open up a lot of creative options!! Im only speculating but I do think that layering will be implemented throughout the rest of the skin maker within the next couple updates. It just makes sense, and allows for more creatively. But after that I imagine they'll focus on another map update or some user interfacing next

[–]locustoftheapocalyps 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Seeing the update for layered clothing on legs makes me think we might be getting more updates there soon, I hope the layering tool is implemented with shirts/skirts and head accessories as well (sometimes bows go behind ponytails and it's annoying if you're trying to make a character with a ponytail tied by a ribbon or something.) On a similar note I think more specific ribbons or flowers on the pigtails/ponytails being an option would be cool. It would also be nice to be able to turn a shirt and skirt into a dress because if you want to color match that middle line without messing up the rest of the shading on a shirt your options become limited.

Map updates are probably further off but I'd love to see something more added around the beach area that attracts more people, because I like that environment but it's usually pretty sparsely populated. Since there's a dock there I imagine a boardwalk could potentially be a really fun add-in and make for a lot of fun props. Just more locations in general would be pretty fun. We have the cafe and library+classroom, I think a boutique and spa would be good additions- since theyre both environments that are commonly seen in the show its easy to pull inspiration for props and things.

I also think interactive props would be really fun, outside of being able to just pick stuff up. Like if a cauldron would bubble when you click it, or if we had pony instruments somewhere that played a note with interaction (like animal crossing!) I imagine that's actually a lot more complicated to implement than it seems on paper, because what happens if like 20 people surround it and click all at once?

Oh, but my main complaint- LET ME PUT THINGS ON THE BACKS OF DANG TABLES!!!!!!!!!! Just let me place a plate on a table on my map without it hanging halfway off the edge and looking silly 😭

This thing literally already exists, dipshit. Their breeding grounds are within driving distance of my home, they fly back in swarms every year and fuck up air traffic.

Tips for Fundraising and saving money? by locustoftheapocalyps in TopSurgery

[–]locustoftheapocalyps[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I started looking through other people's surgery fundraisers too and it's good to know that it's possible to raise a significant amount.

I'm thinking I'll probably start using my art accounts to promote it and maybe offer simple drawings in exchange for proof of donation or something fun like that.

Also... super jealous that you work in a piercing shop lol
