When my family went to see Mount Rushmore, I didn't know what Wall Drugs was. That changed as soon as we hit the state line. Those guys must have more billboards than Alexander Shunnarah.

The funniest part was when he said he was speaking and asked to be allowed to finish. Then he started delivering his statement very calmly and quietly (for Trump), and it somehow ended with him ramping up for only these words and shouting "SHE WANTS TRANSGENDER OPERATIONS FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS IN PRISON." It's like being at grandpa's for dinner, he starts off pointing out the gas prices are high and one sentence later he's talking about Kamala's communist dictatorship that she modeled after Maoist China.

I just want it to be more clear what products are in my food.

Expand allergy warning labels on products. Mammal product allergy exists, it's called alpha-gal syndrome - one of the issues that can arise from a tick bite. I would like to see allergy labels for beef, pork, gelatin, and carrageenan alongside the ones for milk, wheat, nuts, etc.

Seconded, Nick is definitely gay and fell for the Nazi schtick. It's not a crazy jump.

Um, yeah? That's what everyone's besides Team Trump has been trying to do ever since.

He acts like Trump just now deserves to be charged because he fell for that bullshit.

I don't like to paint in broad strokes, but I believe that these people get grifted so hard because they place the consequences for their actions entirely on someone else. This could be a real self-growth moment if he would take a step back, say, "I can't believe I fell for that. What led me to that?"

Yeah, glad people on that side are starting to realize Trump's just a grifter, but without any self-reflection they're just going to vote for the next loud asshole that promises them everything.

I agree completely. Alice in Chains is my favorite band, but I really don't think seeing them live would be worth it because they'd be doing all of Layne's songs without him. I know that in that case, Jerry also contributed a great deal to the lyrics and sound, but without Layne something feels missing...

What predator does he need to scare off?

Mrs. True. It's why she so often wallops him in his nightgown, without his eyespots.

What's your favorite controller? in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago

I really love the current gen controllers. I was using a Series X controller, which has a fantastic weight and feel, but I started experiencing drift. I decided to get a PS5 controller after that, and it's even better! I use it with my PC, and the touchpad works as a mousepad, which has allowed me to play a LOT of games comfortably on the couch, when I'd normally have to fumble with my mouse and keyboard.

Looking for Sperm Preservation Advice (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/15865014

Hi, everyone! So, I'm moving toward going on estrogen in the next year. Before I do that, there are some steps I want to take to prepare. I'm using an at-home IPL machine now for hair removal, and I'd like to get some voice lessons under my belt as well. The main step I want to take next is sperm cryopreservation. My fiancee and I want kids, but I'm not certain it would be a good idea to have a kid during puberty. So, we want to freeze my sperm or our embryos, and I was wondering if ya'll have any resources you could share? I've looked into a few at-home sperm freezing kits, but it's such a big deal to place your fertility in the hands of a company like that and any advice would be much appreciated! <3

An Epiphany (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

For context, I've been on the fence about going on HRT.

During my therapy session today, I was talking about some of the fears I have about going on HRT. Up until now, I've been trying to ease myself into transitioning because I do have my doubts and I don't want to rush into the wrong decision.

I've been "crossdressing" (what does one call this if they think they're trans?) on and off for a while now, and I've been in therapy about dysphoria for a few months now, but HRT is still a big decision that I didn't want to influence myself toward if I didn't need it. I didn't go by female pronouns, didn't experiment with names, hesitated to call myself trans until I soul searched a bit more and knew. I think that's partially due to fear of being ostracized by my family or affected by the horrible legislation attempting to go around in America right now, or really just rushing into something big like that in general.

Lately, I've been leaning toward wanting to go on HRT. I've been searching for clinics to freeze my sperm and I've found a couple of sources for HRT, just to have everything sorted if I decide to start transitioning. Today, when I was going over my fears with my therapist, I just blurted out

"Fuck, if I had gone on HRT when I was 18 then I would just be a woman by now. Dammit."

Right after I said that, I realized exactly what I had said and what emotions I was actually expressing. I think it took me forever to admit it but I definitely want HRT. I want to be a woman. I'm scared still, in many ways, but I think this is the path for me and I want to embrace all the joys and struggles which come alongside transitioning. So that said, I'd like to ask any of you girls on HRT, what were some unexpected trials and happy moments during the process?

I turn 23 this December, and it would be amazing if I could start HRT before then. It's doable, I have to hunt down some good sperm banks first because I still want biological kids someday. My main fear right now (and I do apologize to you non-American Lemmy users that are sick of hearing about this) is this damnable upcoming election. I don't believe that team Trump will go down quietly if Harris wins, but it would ease my mind greatly if I knew I didn't have to navigate my transition with a 2nd Trump administration breathing down my neck. How are you other American girls dealing with that? I'm almost at the point where I say fuck it all and live my life. So close.....

but do I want to paint a target on myself?

Idk. Thanks for reading my thought spew, it helps to get it out in writing sometimes.
