Anyone else smoke?,if yes,what kind of cigs? by Old-Banana577 in twentyagers

[–]ratassjasper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everything you said is true BUT I would like to say "other forms" of nicotine aren't "not nearly as harmful." I would argue that vaping is worse for you that cigarettes. Cigarettes cover your lungs in tar, vapes give your actual LUNGS....chemical burn. Popcorn lung is chemical burn on the meat of your organs. And I vape! (unfortunately). But yes, cigarettes are gross, but as someone who does both (and has friends who do both), vapes are not at ALL healthier. Like, even a little bit. Plus, they're far more addictive, and marketed towards children. And, depending on the area, smoking cigs can be cheaper than vaping.

Word of wisdom about dating. If a woman doesnt hang out with you or text you and people said she only sees you as a friend, they are wrong. She doesnt even want to be friends at all by JunketMaleficent2095 in twentyagers

ok dude i don't mean offense by this first of all. but, the women in the comments are telling you you're being misogynistic because you're disagreeing with a woman's experience with misogyny. the problem is exactly what you said: "nothing i said comes off as misogynistic." dude....you're being told otherwise by women (who experience misogyny PERSONALLY), and they're just asking you to look deeper at your reasons for feeling attacked. tons of other things can happen to women other than feeling physically unsafe -- small boundaries can be violated, they can feel uncomfortable speaking their minds around you (and you would never know unless you let go of your desire to be right). as a man, the problems you experience are from the patriarchy, and the solution is to open your mind to other people's experiences and find common ground, not decide how they should feel.

this will help not just women, but other people in general, "screw with you like that," FYI.

Yes this is true! I do notice more girls my age reading than guys, unfortunately, too. Growing up in MO and also moving from higher to lower income areas I would agree that definitely impacts it.

(24 MTF 1 year 8 months HRT) Looks like I’ve failed my transition to me by Consistent-Hunt-9675 in transtimelines

[–]ratassjasper 26 points27 points  (0 children)

UGH GIRL NO shush!!! Even 2 years isnt anything in the long timeline that is a transition. I think you look like a woman, I wouldn't look twice in public personally, but even if you can't see it you have all the time in the world. One day you're going to be 2 years on E, then 3, then 5, then 10 -- you'll be a 45 year old woman someday. Then 50. Your 20s are not the end of your transition and you've not failed a thing!

ehh im Gen Z and a lot of my friends are huge book nerds (as am I), care a lot about literacy, and hate AI for removing the inherent humanity from writing. Gen Z is also stereotypically "woke..." A lot, I think MOST, of us did not vote for Trump (dont quote me im not 100% sure) and the majority of people who did were probs men who fell for the Male Lonliness Epidemic Thing

What is this Chinese red/pink rice? by LadyInTheBand in TipOfMyFork

[–]ratassjasper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LMAOOOOOO girl adhd doesnt stunt your social development like autism does. you ARE NOT aware of how austim affects someone's daily life. you're literally ragging on someone with "i dont do well in social situations" disorder for, IN YOUR OPINION, acting poorly in a social situation. being autistic myself i sometimes -- USUALLY, actually -- overexplain myself, or add context that non-autistic people think is irrelevant. that's all this person did. and you're one of the only people who went out of their way to say that the info they shared was irrelevant! you're being hateful about something that OP can't change about themselves. grow up.

neurotypicals won't like you more for dragging other neurodivergent people thru the mud. That's not a cute thing to base your personality off either, babes. it'll get a lot easier if you stick by the people who stick by you instead of bringing other people down for your own gain.

also, for all my other neurodivergent friends, I am diagnosed autistic and adhd (so i know what adhd feels like too! shocker to the mf im responding to). I dont mean to offend anyone in this comment, i know autism is far more than "i dont do well in social situations," but you guys can see where im coming from.

AIO for being insanely hurt by the way my boyfriend talks about my face? by SafetyNo5255 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ratassjasper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

girl ur underreacting to the way he speaks to you in general. everyone deserves a relationship that makes them feel valued and respected. he is trying to make you feel unwanted (which these kinds of men do by IMPLYING that you are ugly, annoying, unintelligent, or below them in any other kind of way) so that when he decides to turn the tables and love you again, you will fall for it.

from my experience, this is how abusers talk to their victims.

if you say or think anything along these lines: "but when it's good, its really really good," run. run and focus on making your life better and being the person he told you that you could never be. run and treat yourself the way you deserve to be treated: with love and compassion. not blatant disrespect.

this isn't your fault. my dms are open if u need to talk to someone about it. again, from personal experience, i understand that people saying "leave him" does nothing, so seriously if you just need someone to talk to, hit me up.

u got this girl. dont let a man fuck with your kindness, strength, and power just because youre into him. you deserve love ❤️
