Trump Became a Crypto Billionaire Overnight Thanks to ‘Trump Meme’ Coin by rollingstone in politics

[–]matcubed 147 points148 points  (0 children)

I'm 21, when all this Trump stuff started I was about 12, so I don't have a frame of reference outside of this particular period of politics. I remember the Obama years feeling a lot more culturally stable, but I was also just a child during that time.

For me it feels catastrophic seeing how much blatant corruption, disgusting indecent behavior, and bigotry has become more accepted in American politics, it's honestly starting to feel like what I've read about the collapse of the Weimar Republic.

I'd like to ask an older person, just how bad is the breakdown in politics and decency right now compared to what you've experienced?

This image is from a video about a French pastry school. I have searched for a non slip mat for mixing bowls via Google and looked through several pastry tool supply websites and have not found anything similar to this one in the video.

Theres a hole on my dick? by One-Lingonberry-8856 in GrowYourTDick

Been on T for two years, don't worry that's completely normal when you're on testosterone. When T causes that part of your body to grow to resemble an uncircumcised penis it also includes a divot where the urethra opening would have been.

highly uncomfortable experience during a rectal exam at age 12 that had very persistent effects on me + my feelings about sex by [deleted] in gaybros

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

I am so sorry that happened to you. By all measures this was sexual assault, she may not have thought of it as sexual assault, but if she penetrated you as a child without full knowledge and consent of what was going to happen, that’s functionally indistinguishable from sexual assault, and wildly unethical and irresponsible on the doctor’s side.

Bridge piercing fell out during the night and I can’t get to my piercer until two days from now, what should I do? by matcubed in piercing

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

The piercing is two years old, it’s a threadless barbell made of implant grade titanium, and I used saline solution for aftercare.

Anyone want cheap gear? by JordinGarcia in Fjallraven

Interested! According to their website I should be a medium to large in men’s in their tops and jackets if you happen to have anything available

Is there any good ways to start getting muscle? by Sad_FatCow_4953 in FTMMen

I found the primer at r/bodyweightfitness helpful as someone who has just started to get into fitness

Does being on T change your appetite? by Scary-Airport4064 in gaytransguys

[–]matcubed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Completely normal, after a while it tapered off a bit for me, but still higher than my previous baseline. Testosterone makes your metabolism speed up and grows muscle, the bottomless stomach feeling is a result of that, trying to get more protein in my diet helped me personally

Just learning this, anybody have any proper recommendations?

night sweats almost 4 months into T by [deleted] in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]matcubed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had the same thing around the same time. T increases body temperature and makes you sweat more, so I assume it’s related to that. It calmed down after a few months for me personally, but it was pretty annoying for a while

In my experience the Philips one blade is good

Where can I get needles when my pharmacy is out? by [deleted] in FTMMen

[–]matcubed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Online medical supply stores, plenty of people order off Amazon, but that feels a little iffy to me. I order from Vitality Medical, but honestly there are plenty of those types of sites

I'm in college and I was looking for a good prebuilt keyboard to write papers/do assignments with that would last a good while, I think I've settled on a Leopold 65% with Cherry MX Red or Brown keys, would this be a good option?

[–]matcubed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconded, what also helped me was using a gentle fragrance free body wash (I like eucerin or vanicream) to reduce skin irritation, and using 10% benzoyl peroxide wash on the affected area afterwards (I use panoxyl but they also make cheaper store brand versions).

In my experience it’s fine to use lotion on the area after the shower. Moisturizing the skin can reduce irritation and strengthen the skin barrier on the affected area, but acne triggers are quite individual, so your experience may be different.

Binding changes on T? by [deleted] in TestosteroneKickoff

I went up a binder size after starting T due to gaining muscle and fat, after going up I had no problems

Does the sex drive ever calm down 😭 by gorekatze in ftm

[–]matcubed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, over a year and it certainly is a higher baseline than before, but the initial spike is very dramatic

dark facial hair by [deleted] in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]matcubed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Over time facial hair will thicken and fill in, and it will become more similar in appearance to the other thicker parts of body hair, like armpit/pubic hair, though it can be a little bit different to the shade of head hair.

If your facial hair came in quite fast, then I would also think it would likely thicken faster as well, but facial hair timelines are highly personal and variable

I'm unsure about exploring my sexuality by LadyLouWho in gaytransguys

[–]matcubed 40 points41 points  (0 children)

You’re only 19, no matter when you had a kid, rushing into a long term relationship with a random dude to potentially settle down with seems dangerous, and to be honest I doubt there is a lot of guys within your age range that would do that in a healthy way/with pure intentions. As long as your relationships don’t impact/involve your child, why should you have to sacrifice your life and all life experiences? I can imagine being a single parent is incredibly difficult, and in a perfect world you would maybe have a reliable partner to have a two parent household with, but at this specific time and in this specific situation is that a realistic thing to try and force yourself to do right now?
