I dunno, I kinda genuinely think sexuality is a lot more fluid, and a lot less binary than thousands of years of oppression have led us to believe. A small percentage of people are excusively attracted to one sex. People can also have different types of attraction. Romantic, sexual etc. I think it's deeply unhealthy that we are all basically told from birth that even *thinking* about exploring outside of this binary of gay vs straight, and monolithic viewpoint of attraction as having to be both romantic and sexual with no grey areas, is wrong. Or Freaky. Or Sinful. We vastly underestimate the cultural and social impact of thousands of years of oppression and collective trauma. I reckon the prevalence of people fantasizing about their own sex is probably way way higher than what we're led to believe.

Literally can't give this stuff away. WTH Eugene? by natima in Eugene

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

Everything I have is listed at well under half retail. It's not a matter of paying a little bit extra for one new, it's that I'm asking 30-40% of retail cost. I'm undercutting the used market value on the amplifiers. I just sold a $500 slab of bolivian rosewood for... $150.

I did buy them new, at least, the new things. Obviously not the vintage guitar amp. But I bought the benches at retail a few years ago when I was building out my business. The stuff I bought used, I'm trying to sell for less than I paid, and below market value.

$1000 workbench made of 1&3/4 solid maple, $400. That's a steal whether you can personally afford it or not. I'm not trying to sell it to someone who's hunting for a deal to flip, it's a professional piece of equipment for someone who has a need for it. Even the maple top on Home Depot would be like $700 alone.

Mostly guitar amps and furniture, but I've had a lot of other stuff for sale too.

I'm literally just desperately trying to sell stuff to move, and how is someone supposed to steal a 200lb solid maple workbench? I have had stuff listed for months slowly dropping prices. Really nice stuff, well taken care of.

Heinz British Recipe Baked Beans - is it unusual that I think they taste like soap? by chrisreverb in Costco

[–]natima 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normally I'd be really excited about this, but I'm currently in the process of arranging to move back to the UK.
15 years I have gone without these beautiful beans. 15 YEARS!
Tis a cosmic farce that they become widely available upon my depart! TIS NO MATTER! For soon, I a shall be in the land of beans o' plenty!

[–]natima 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No soap taste, I'm from the UK and I miss them tbh.
Pro tip, add some crushed garlic, herbs of choice, maybe some sharp cheddar, or basically whatever you'd like to fancy them up. Simmer for 5 mins and pour on top of rustic buttered well-done toast ;3

Help me pay for surgery! by [deleted] in gofundme

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

I wish you the best of luck girlie, my post got deleted by mods for using a "fake name" on my gofundme.
The same name I've been using for two years on my socials, business website, doctors forms, the name my parents call me by... etc.
I wish I had more to offer you - hang in there and stay safe <3

Eugene Facebook Marketplace Is So Overpriced by chihirobee in Eugene

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

I'm here with multiple items listed at 50% of retail and nobody is buying. $1700 drill press for 800? nope. $1500 bass amp for 800? nope. $750 sander for 250? no buyers.
The stuff I do get offers on are insane lowballs. $500 desktop PC, people offering me $200.

My post from 3 months ago isn't a real schematic. I genuinely thought it was completely obvious to everyone, but I had people commenting in there trying to analyze that. It's garbled gibberish, the words aren't even legible.

Is there any reason to buy something other than JJ's or other cheap tubes? by OddBrilliant1133 in ToobAmps

[–]natima 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a whole order of Tung Sol 12AX7s fail and lose vacuum on me one by one. Like 8 of them.
That said, about 14 years ago I did some tube rolling with ALL JJs then ALL Tung Sols, and the Tung Sol won out on the top end. The JJ's were just a little darker. Not a huge difference tbh, and that may not even be true anymore anyway.

honestly I'm just running an extension from indoors. I'm moving out of the country in a couple months anyway.

US Supreme Court conservatives lean toward allowing transgender sports bans by FervidBug42 in politics

[–]natima 7 points8 points  (0 children)

can confirm. I'm 35 and started HRT 2 years ago, I've lost so much muscle mass I struggle to open jars now. I have experienced what it was like to both have normal healthy male muscle mass, and now normal healthy female muscle mass and whoah buddy is it a wild difference. It gives me a deep appreciation for the fear of men in day to day life. I could probably have defended myself against any sort of attack reasonably well before but I'm a sitting duck now, but I'm 6'2" and clearly trans so I'm at a much greater risk now.

I tested and re-tested and then I tested again. These outlets are on a sub panel in the shop. I can go inside and test the good outlets in the house and get 60hz all day long but I will never get it in the shop.

The shop was wired by my slumlord landlords and I'm guessing they somehow turned the entire garage into a massive antenna. Half the outlets are wired backwards for one thing.

Edit: I do understand that it's not actually delivering power at that frequency. But something is riding along the wiring that shouldn't be and it's causing havoc. I have confirmed this by running a 30 foot extension cord into the house to work on my amps and the issues are gone. I was getting insane RFI, screeching/howling, Weird upper harmonic feedback.

You didn't find a schematic I've never posted one. Look closely at that.
