My gender therapist told me this in response to something I said referencing my chest. It was a while ago but it's stuck with me. I'm wondering what you all think of this comment? The comment felt disqualifying, like I was less male for calling my chest a "breast", or I would be seen as less male because of it, but I can be pretty sensitive so I might be overthinking and she might be right that men don't talk like that.

I'm a millennial and dibs has been around at least since I was a kid.

Resources for apostates (ex-religious people) in need. There are some housing resources I think, including LGBTQ+ specific services. Maybe have a look, I haven't looked a lot into it but maybe it can be of help.

When I was still being taken to church I won the door prize at youth group (church for teens) one night during a special event we were running (some thing to encourage people to invite their non-believing school friends and show how "hip" and "fun" they were, there were raffles and video games alongside our usual "live music", skate ramps and bbq). The prize itself was a mobile phone. I was so happy because I didn't already have one, but ultimately my parents decided I couldn't have/use it until I got a job to pay for the credit. I did eventually get a job at KFC and was able to use the phone.

Another time I was visiting NZ with my parents and we were touring the base of a mountain and the guide was like "guess the height and whoever gets closest wins this pen", I won but my mum made me give the pen back because she thought I'd cheated somehow? Idfk. Still a bit salty about the pen.

I don't know... I wonder if non-dairy milks are included, like oat, almond, etc? Or maybe it includes obscure milks, sheep, camel?

There's a reddit.world? I don't think I would choose that. I don't know, what you (and the few others) posted about hexbear seemed negative? I don't understand Marxism or anything like that. It just seemed to me like everyone was against it and I figured that I wouldn't be welcome there because I'm not sure I share their views, and I'm not sure how it works on the app either, if I can have both sides available to view at the same time.

Wow. Thanks for the info. Seems like a place I don't want to be after all.

 

I see a lot of communities hosted on hexbear.net on trending but when I click the link it says there's nothing there. Why is this the case? I'm using the Voyager app, but I' not sure if that has anything to do with it. Is there a way to make them visible?

Is that a Lackadaisy pin? The pins are cool.

I found out when looking into the term "tomboy" that a "tom" was a term for a boisterous and unruly boy. The word "tom" does come from tomcat as others have said because unneutered tomcats are often loud and unruly. I suspect Peeping Tom has a similar "tom" origin: an unruly boy that peeps on girls.

There are homeless people everywhere...
This homeless guy asked me for money the other day
I was about to give it to him and then I thought he's just going to use it on drugs or alcohol
And then I thought: "That's what I'm going to use it on!"
"Why am I judging this poor bastard?"
People love to judge homeless guys
Like if you give him the money he's just going to waste it. He's going to waste the money
Well, he lives in a box, what do you want him to do? Save it up and buy a wall unit?
Take a little run to the store for a throw rug and a CD rack?
He's homeless!
I walked behind this guy the other day. A homeless guy asked him for money
He looks right at the homeless guy and goes: "Why don't you go get a job, you bum?"
People always say that to homeless guys, "Get a job", like it is always that easy
This homeless guy was wearing his underwear outside his pants
I'm guessing his resume ain't all up to date
I'm predicting some problems during the interview process
I'm pretty sure even McDonald's has a "Underwear Go Inside The Pants" policy
Not that they enforce it really strictly, but technically, I'm sure it is on the books

  • Underwear Goes Inside the Pants, Lazyboy (TV)

I don't really see an issue with giving homeless people money, I'm more inclined to give to buskers honestly, but I don't have the means to give to anyone.
My whole life, people have told me it's better to give them food than money, but I'm not sure I agree with that perspective personally. Maybe if they want food you can offer to get it for them if they might be embarrassed to get it themselves or something? Maybe ask them if they'd prefer money or something else right now? Idk, I haven't had many chances to help people in that kind of situation.
