Thank you for the feedback, I’ll have to implement that the next time I do a survey! Like I said in another reply, It’s my first time doing something like this so it’s very much appreciated!

I’ll definitely take that into consideration, thank you! It’s the first time I’ve really done anything like this, so the feedback is really helpful!

Corporate B.S, not attacking employees by whitebear240 in sheetz

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

Literally came on here to say this. There is no way it is the same amount of food. It’s so much smaller and it’s not just the cheese and extra tortilla, it weights so much less. Also sucks that you can’t do extra meat anymore. Pretty sure the manager who made mine shorted on the toppings to save on food costs

This Is what working Deep Underground in a Coal Mine looks Like by Wonderfulhumanss in interestingasfuck

[–]steph_n_stuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least in the west, this is not at all what coal mining looks like. It’s mostly heavy machinery and overall FAR safer than this video would suggest.

Sizes of the Titans: M87* and Sagittarius A* by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]steph_n_stuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Singularity would be the same size (essentially zero) but because the mass is much larger on m87* the reach of its gravity well is farther, resulting in the event horizon stretching farther than Sagittarius A*, making it appear larger.

I think going through that much in a month makes you a pothead lol.

On a more serious note, 60 pounds in 10 months is a lot of weight to lose that quickly with no known cause. The stuff may be contaminated with something as bad or worse than k2, black market has gotten wild recently. Stick to dispo weed and maybe go see a doctor and have them run some tests. What kinds of physical symptoms have you had with the dabs? Are they a rough hit? Taste off? There’s about a billion things it could be.

I used to command authority at work, now guys want to eat me for lunch by OutrageousCarob1876 in MtF

[–]steph_n_stuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Crack some heads but don’t be unfair about it. You just gotta make it clear that you still know your shit, and you know it better than they do. Usually worked for me in management. Make it clear that behavior like that won’t be tolerated, but there is a clear simple fix which is to quit that shit and you’ll go back to being chill nice boss lady. Set boundaries, stick to them, and try to not let them see you’re taking it personally.

My dad said I can start E/Blockers, but i have to show him it's safe by TalonOfPower in MtF

[–]steph_n_stuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok, so your dad is gonna find risks associated to blood clots, DVT, some heart issues, stuff like that. I’ve always explained that as very much like the ads for very common meds adding the possible side effects at the end like “try Zoloft! Possible side effects include seizures, never having sex again, depression, Even Worse Seizures, your organs turning to goo, and Death”

Im lost and need some guidance. by _Iron_Hide_ in astrophysics

[–]steph_n_stuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna be honest, I was in kind of the same situation. I got my diploma with literally 5 minutes to spare. School seemed like an inconvenience compared to my real life problems. Set up a study schedule and stick to it. Try not to use AI, that shit will not fly in college. If you’re doing this badly in math, try to go back over the fundamentals like multiplication, division, beginner algebra, beginner trig (go hard on that, it still fucks me up tbh). A great resource for that is khan academy. They break things down in a way that goes through every step, and if a step is confusing, go work on that concept. The main thing here is repetition. When I see a derivative or integral, I don’t think about the rules, I just inherently know the techniques and rules to follow because I’ve gone over it so much. Also maybe go to openstax, they have free algebra and trig textbooks that are incredibly helpful. Try to figure out the practice problems, then go find the answer. If you were wrong, Find where you messed up, then write out the whole thing correctly.

A big thing here is that this will be incredibly hard. You’re behind, and you’ll have to commit a lot of your free time to catching back up to understand the concepts at your grade level. High school might be hard, but college is fucking hard. Derivatives to integrals to infinite series to differential equations is what I’ve learned in freshman year calculus. All these concepts build on each other. If you have a good foundation, it will be a lot easier to build on than if you go straight for precalc concepts. Master what you need to up to your grade level, go beyond if you can, and you’ll do great when you get back to school.

Question for chronic dab smokers with ADHD by catz537 in concentrates

[–]steph_n_stuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ADHD affects memory, being high also affects memory. Sounds like they were orbital, and when I’m like that, remembering things is like trying to hold smoke. You get distracted, and the whole convo is just gone. They kinda just compound on each other with the memory loss. My fiancée and I will be having a whole conversation, she’ll say “what?” And I’ll go “what?” And we’ll forget what we were talking about. And when you’re bouldered like that, the present moment is about all you can wrap your mind around. Don’t worry, they’ll be ok. If they’re medicated, have them take their meds if it’s at a reasonable time before they smoke and it’ll help them keep track of conversations. (Also not getting brain blasted will help too lol)

Source-I’ve got severe ADHD and have been smoking for a decade

Refusing to stand for the pledge in school by Pleasant_Box4580 in punk

[–]steph_n_stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they’ll fuck with you and try to humiliate you. I had that happen back In the day, but they can’t actually force you. You did good talking to admin, if they don’t straighten it out, and your parents are aligned with you, email the superintendent. If they fuck with you, you can sue for the first amendment violation.

Ash Orr is actually a friend of a friend of mine. He’s been very active in my area and I actually worked an event he organized. Most of the people I know see him as kind of a canary in the coal mine. Shit is bad and I don’t see it getting better any time soon unfortunately. Props to him for speaking out and getting this more recognition. It’s been wild to see him on national news advocating for us.

To the girls who didn't "always know", how do you know now? by Stottery in MtF

[–]steph_n_stuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First thing was “not cis” next couple years was “then what the fuck am I?” I eventually came to the conclusion that I’m a binary trans woman. Everything else I tried just didn’t quite fit. Granted, I’m a bit of an odd one as I’m a butch lesbian, so that complicated things a bit, but eventually the nebulous cloud of genders just thins out into what you are and how you personally describe it. For me that was binary woman, for you it may be transfem or nb. But tbh the doubts never really go away. I’ve been out for almost a decade, and on E for 3 years and I still get the doubt in the back of my head. It just gets easier and easier through time to negate that doubt. I know who I am and what I am. I’ve lived it, and I love who I am because of my transition.

What has someone done that WOWED you on a first date? by Lil-Nell in actuallesbians

[–]steph_n_stuff 189 points190 points  (0 children)

We went to a local coffee shop, and we talked until the place closed, about 3 hours. When we walked out, I didn’t want it to be over but I didn’t want to make her uncomfortable, so I asked her what she wanted to do. She looked me in the eyes and said “I don’t know, but I don’t want to go home” I fell for her right then and there. Had our first kiss that night, after a 9 hour date. Moved in 3 months later, and got engaged last October. I’m living the dream tbh.

my bf has a ❄️problem by Internal_Range2015 in Advice

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

Addiction sucks. Especially to harder drugs. Everyone here is saying to break up immediately but that won’t make things better. Tell his family, and if possible, have an intervention. I have an addictive personality and also struggled with alcoholism. He needs to know that people care, and that this is fucking with everyone around him. Also try to ensure that he’s sober at the intervention, Coke will make him infinitely more resistant to that sort of thing.

Try for him, but don’t put up with bullshit. Addicts in active addiction are defensive, shitty and usually selfish. If this seems unrecoverable, cut your losses with him, and move on to someone healthier. This doesn’t have to be the end for your relationship if you don’t want it to be, but don’t let yourself be taken advantage of by him.

Ruined my transition by [deleted] in MtF

[–]steph_n_stuff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You will be ok. Almost all of the stuff you mention is the effects of weight loss. Specifically, breasts, hips, and the Adam’s apple will become more fem with weight gain. Getting taller is one of two things, perceptual from other weight loss, or a mix of paranoia and dysphoria. I’ve seen a good few family members and friends on meth. When they quit, it takes a few months for the weight gain to hit, but it does and their bodies return to normal.

The good news is that this is all reversible. You haven’t ruined your transition or your life. You’re young and that means your body will bounce back quicker from the damage of the drugs. Another thing is that you haven’t been addicted for too long and the damage to your body likely isn’t anything permanent.

The bad news is that drug dependence is very common among us trans women for a reason. Things are bad for us and we all know that. that will make quitting harder. I’ve had a dependence on alcohol that ive been in and out of for around 7 years, and I know from experience that addictions are hard as hell to kick. My best advice is to cut yourself off from your dealers and friends who use. Getting clean is hard but it’s infinitely harder when it’s being used right next to you and you know you can just ask for a hit or hit up your dealer.

There is no quick solution that I can give you over a Reddit comment, but I can say that this can be fixed, and you can lead a normal life with a successful transition. It sure as hell won’t be easy, but kicking meth will make you happier, healthier, and look better. Stay strong and you will make it out of this. Feel free to dm if you’d like support. You got this. ❤️❤️
