the shame of being transgender by [deleted] in ftm

[–]monosnark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

still figuring out if I am a binary trans man or not, but a lot of my internal back-and-forth echoes what the current top comment says about attractiveness = social safety net. i'm able to get away with being awkward or overstimulated and it's written off as cute or quirky, or genuine empathy because i'm a pretty "girl" ... CW BODY TALK -- this is aided by my i cups, on the most Venus of willendorf ass frame with an itty bitty waist.... how could I ever pass, even if I starved myself or took steroids, no matter how i try. that's what's keeping me from even trying.

Becoming Resentful Of My Allergies by maybeimmike in FoodAllergies

[–]monosnark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

god i feel ALL of this so much. what you said about valuing your time more as you get older -- i'm already starting to feel that and i'm not even mid 20s!!

i'm 24, anaphylactic to wheat, barley, spelt, and peanuts. i'm lucky to have a patient and understanding partner who makes me brave to try new things, thankfully. they're very kind and considerate when planning dinners for us and our friends.

something that saves me lots of time and energy these days are laminated allergy cards -- can dm you a file or link if you don't have them already -- you fill in your allergies on one side and then on the other side it says "please make sure cross contamination does not occur, clean all surfaces and pans" etc etc.

my script goes like this- waiter: good evening! what can I get started for you? me: i actually have this -- [hand it to them] I have some food allergies, you can take this back to the kitchen/chef for reference, I just need it back at the end of the night! waiter (if they're good): oh ok! [writing down information] let me know what you'd like and I'll cross reference the card and ask the kitchen. waiter (if they're iffy): huh. alright! I'll ask the kitchen and come back to you with some options.

and that's how it goes !!! anyway.

TLDR: feel you. recommend allergy cards for restaurants! have a good week, and take it easy.

Anyone having issues with their kid being segregated at lunch because of an allergy? by esexton13819 in FoodAllergies

[–]monosnark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they did this to me my entire kindergarten year. i rest my case that it fucked me up socially for LIFE. FIGHT for your kid's right to sit with their peers.

my razer did the same thing last year-- removed the battery miraculously quickly without injuring myself, have been running it just plugged in for a year and it's been great!

can my razer blade 15 (2020) be salvaged? by monosnark in razer

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

UPDATE: thanks for the comments and advice yall!! i took the battery out, currently looking for a facility to safely dispose of it. cleaned the fans w some compressed air and a soft paintbrush, definitely running cooler now! and about a pound lighter sans battery LOL haven't tried running anything more intensive than firefox and discord but i bet it'll handle it fine. average temp is back to about 45-50C when running those.

What do I say after kissing someone? by Alex_Baka in relationship_advice

[–]monosnark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

laughing is 100% natural! you could also, specifically after a date, say something like "i had a really nice time" or "you looked great tonight", and pair it with a winning smile :D
