  • James Talarico takes shots at Ted Cruz and Ken Paxton’s masculinity: ‘Weak men’

  • That's weird to me. Giving up is the mental health killer for me. Even if what I do won't work, I need to do something. It's the same reason I try to live more sustainably even though I know I'm just one person.

  • Yeah a guy comfortable wearing eyeliner because he likes the way it looks on him is extra cool, until he starts getting mad about people not conforming to his understanding of gender roles, then he's just a hypocritical twat.

  • I got unemployment when I was laid off in a mass layoff

  • People who didn't get sugar as kids, how did that work out?

    Jump

  • It's not that. Hawaiian buns are a product meant to taste sweet. We're talking store brand wheat bread type breads.

    And on that note, sweetened peanut butter is dessert food, not a sandwich filling. Unsweetened is the best.

  • I'm an American and yeah, bread shouldn't be this sweet. Aldi has a good whole wheat that isnt sweet though

  • Yeah as a trans woman I've never seen someone identify as bi and thought "I shouldn't hit on her" because of that label. And if I also found men attractive I'd almost certainly use that label.

  • Probably because the identities we circle back to often have merit even if we don't like it (the number of years I kept finding stupid arguments that I wasn't trans…)

    It sounds like you dislike this about yourself. You could check to see if there's a medical issue causing extremely low libido. But fair warning, it may just result in you being horny and not finding anyone attractive.

  • Mark Zuckerberg Orders His Employees to Start Having Fun Again After Brutal Layoffs Culled Their Colleagues

    Jump

  • Insulation from consequences of your decisions and distance from ordinary people creates a special kind of stupidity. Nobody with a clue is going to speak up to him, and even if they do few would hold firm when he pushes back. Everything negative he hears will be said in anger or with a sugar coating and there will be plenty of people lining up to assure him it isn't true. He's been insulated and if the whistleblowers are correct, he actively fostered his insulation. If he cared he'd read the book about his failures as a leader. But he doesn't have to care, nobody is going to make him until suddenly he very much does have to care and it's too late.

  • Yeah but the trees that made it into hydrocarbons were fuled by our sun.

  • Alternatively you can depict it as filthy and Victorian. Something that was once an improvement, but these days really only belongs in a museum. You can compare it to child labor and accurately point out that the Victorian era was grimy and disgusting because of how much coal was burned then.

  • Dangerous hormone-disrupting chemicals found in US breast milk samples

    Jump

  • Absolutely! A lot of this knowledge has become less common even among trans people as people who transitioned in that era are often still uncomfortable being open and self advocating because they'd been taught so strongly not to, meanwhile once it became easier and more acceptable they wound up vastly outnumbered. Also aids killed a lot of the open trans people.

    And yeah I think it's really easy for people, such as the one you were replying to, who don't know much to just observe that there sure seem to be a lot more of us these days and make a guess as to why that fits within narratives that make sense to them. I can't even be too mad, as that's kinda just how people work. What irritates me is how often such narratives are prioritized to equal to or greater than informed and cohesive positions. And yeah there's a reason we like to pull out the graph of rate of left handedness over time.

    And I should note, I'm not even saying that hormone disrupters in the water aren't increasing the rates of trans people, it's a plausible hypothesis, it's just that you'd need to control for a lot of social variables and that's very difficult.

  • It is absolutely ptsd. Fortunately I came to the situation pre diagnosed. And unfortunately it's not even the only thing from that month I have ptsd symptoms about. But yeah anyone experiencing those symptoms should seek out professional help. Ptsd is a real pain in the ass to treat, but there are treatments and they can help.

    Unfortunately, this is one of those situations where you can't fully leave the situation. Moving helped, no longer living on the ground floor helped (came in through the window), but so long as I have a front door there's a fear. Contrary to what a lot of people think/suggest, a gun very much wouldn't help.

    But yeah I should probably see someone about this, but American.
