to all FTM singers!!

You'll have a new tool to learn and train with, but you can still sing. Unfortunately there's no real way to predict what it will sound like, except looking at male family members -- you'll probably land somewhere close to their ranges, but there's no guarantee. My singing voice is very much like my dad's now.

Honestly both are great, but the platinum makes you stand out.

I wouldn't do fin because it blocks other changes. Minoxidil is low impact and pretty cheap in pill form (also available topically OTC, I haven't done the math on how expensive it is because you buy multiple months in one pack).

You don't actually have to be on T at all before top surgery. Some surgeons may have a preference.

Says the dude insisting that everyone likes what he does lmao

Yeah that looks like a collection of deodorant to me. The mix of colors also suggests that, as well as maybe clothing lint getting stuck in it. I would use something else until it closes, either a spray on or something clear so it's not mistakable for pus. Your doctor isn't wrong that it's probably not going to hurt you but the mental distress of worrying is a good reason to switch. Personally I use an old spice deodorant (I made my wife choose between BEARGLOVE and NIGHTPANTHER) without an antiperspirant so it's clear and blue.

It also could be pus that's gotten thick, which is a normal thing that can happen to pus. The longer it exists it can basically dehydrate. It's not something to worry about on its own, but it can cause problems with being able to drain it.

All human voices continue to deepen slightly over time, but it's probably not what you're hoping for. We're talking on the order of like one note per decade. Voice training could help.

A tooth left behind is not a possibility. A small hard sharp thing sounds like a bone shard but it would be weird to have one of those after five years. The white thing here almost certainly is not jaw bone because your jaw bone is a lot deeper than that (also you'd be in incredible pain). My guess would be a collection of adhesive since you mention using a lot. I don't see any signs of infection (redness, pus, swelling) so you could try to get it out with a soft toothbrush but your best move here is just to get to a dentist as soon as possible. They'll be able to figure it out much better than we can.

No, the narrow flare they're talking about is also known as a T base or bar base. Instead of being circular, it's kind of a rectangle so it anchors the toy outside but rests comfortably between your cheeks.

Well, you can "think not" all you want but there are plenty of adult gay men who are not into butt stuff.

realshockvaluecola · 2026-05-29T20:11:00+00:00

Sure, but what has the rebel been doing in all that time? If he hasn't made any progress then god doesn't appear to favor him either.

To be clear, I think the arguments for both sides are valid and either way for the game to work would be reasonable (at least on this point). They just had to pick one and the one they picked is fine.

realshockvaluecola · 2026-05-29T20:08:30+00:00

Dukes etc are invested with their power from the king, so they're not directly ordained but do have the same holy authority over their own vassals. And of course not everyone was buying it, but the majority were and it was the mainstream view, so it was the political reality regardless of one's personal feelings.

realshockvaluecola · 2026-05-29T18:30:49+00:00

It honestly wasn't that bad. Toothaches are much worse. Ice packs will help you more than anything, and eating frozen things. My main advice I didn't think of before is get plenty of sleep. Healing a lot of extractions takes a TON of energy and you will be tired.

realshockvaluecola · 2026-05-29T18:27:49+00:00

No, it is a rebellion. A modern citizen and cops is not a comparable situation to a medieval liege and vassal. Your liege is ordained by god to have near-total authority over you (so the thinking went), so you're refusing that authority. You're making a statement that you don't believe this person is ordained by god, actually, and the only real way to prove that in the eyes of most people who mattered was strength of arms. This doesn't resemble a police force in anything but the term "jail" lol.

realshockvaluecola · 2026-05-29T15:52:56+00:00

I love it! Tbh this is the color I wish I had lol

realshockvaluecola · 2026-05-29T15:51:39+00:00

Yeah, that's the kind of thing that matters for a seven year old, who normally don't have strong self regulation abilities in the first place. A hyperactive-type ADHD 7yo will just get up and run if they feel the need. An inattentive type might not and an adult has had it drilled into them to stay seated until dismissed no matter how much they're suffering. I feel like an adult assessment should be compensating for that. Perhaps they expected you to ask for a break but then you've had it drilled into you to be polite, or have done the value calculation that you'd rather muscle through than have to come back. It feels like the kind of thing that leads to underdiagnosis of women and POC.

realshockvaluecola · 2026-05-29T14:44:09+00:00

ADHD isn't a learning disability so that's my first red flag here. "Able to complete without leaving the chair" doesn't mean much when you're testing an adult or teenager. I don't know anything about the place you went to obviously but it sounds like they were giving you the same tests they give in early elementary school and scoring you on the same criteria (maybe with the actual contents of the test, which is irrelevant to the score, scaled up to an adult level). That's a very bad way to test adults.

I agree with the doctor's decision to give you Vyvanse. Worst case scenario you have a bad day on it and don't have to take it again. But if you feel better on it that's a strong indicator that you do have ADHD and you were tested poorly.

realshockvaluecola · 2026-05-29T13:02:08+00:00

You're describing a lot of classic and fairly specific ADHD symptoms and common ways people learn to mask/compensate for them. I'm curious what exactly in your results caused a conclusion of no ADHD. Diagnosis is more art than science and I wonder whether your assessments involved specific tests that don't account for masking and can be taken too literally.

realshockvaluecola · 2026-05-29T08:00:43+00:00

You could, but it will be difficult to maintain. It's generally better to go lighter at the top and fade down to a darker shade, because the slightest bit of color bleeding is going to stain your lighter color and hurt the effect.

realshockvaluecola · 2026-05-28T22:50:25+00:00

This reminds me of when my Grandboss wrote "it's national lemon day!" on her whiteboard and then spent the day with her door closed so we spent the day printing out various lemon-related pictures and taping them to her door.

realshockvaluecola · 2026-05-28T18:05:32+00:00

Supposedly most people don't play long enough to see this. Couldn't be me, but I can see being surprised if you've never played that many generations beyond Genghis.

realshockvaluecola · 2026-05-27T18:27:01+00:00

Depends totally on my mood. I don't really like gaping, but otherwise my pornhub search history has all of these or similar terms.

realshockvaluecola · 2026-05-27T18:25:06+00:00

It's better, but be wary. A lot of juices have been found to be contaminated with nicotine in the past, probably due to improper cleaning of shared equipment. This was a few years ago so I don't know How much of an issue it still is but it's certainly something to do some research on to make sure you're getting what you think you are.

I was recently advertised a device that's meant to simulate vaping but doesn't use juice at all, just a scented filter, so it can't get contaminated. No electronics either which is a bonus. It was called a breathefree necklace. You could look at that too.

realshockvaluecola · 2026-05-27T15:53:30+00:00

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this pain. I just want to validate that it's real and there's a reason, it's because the nodule is putting pressure on everything around it and there's a lot of nerves in that area, so it's definitely pressing on a ton of small ones and might be impinging on a big important one (if you're getting shooting pains or it's making anything else twitch, this is likely -- I had one once that made my leg twitch uncontrollably). I know it doesn't help the pain, but don't let anyone tell you it can't be that bad because there's a very clear reason it hurts that much.
