i re-hemmed my shirt today (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) by fracture to c/dull_mens_club@lemmy.world

i should have ironed it first so it laid flat, but it would have been troublesome regardless because it was rolling up so much. i think they cut the cloth really unevenly, and that may be why the hem stitches came out originally. i also may do a second pass on it later depending on my motivation

thought i'd share because i thought this scored pretty high on the boring/10 scale. my work isn't great, but it's punk so it's fine

for those curious, here is the shirt in question. yeah, i'm a tanktop guy. i subject everyone to my hairy ass arms

A stylized dragon with the words TRANS RIGHTS. The dragon is made of the trans flag colors, with the text TRANS above it. It is breathing fire, and gaps in the fire (negative space) form the word RIGHTS.

is this AI generated?

been applying to a lot of jobs, in my career field and otherwise, and a lot of them are asking if they can contact my previous supervisors. they cannot, because i do not have any way to contact them myself LOL but is this really normal?? who is actually calling those people? is this affecting hiring decisions??

what's uhhh, what's the implication here. because that hand position implies holding down and fucking, but the way the legs are positioned absolutely do not

could do a riding thing if you have a dick and you're being held down by someone with a vagina, i guess, but i feel like that's also a different interpretation of what's happening

(mostly joking / overthinking)

does the guy you like recognize you as a guy?

which is even more incredibly fucked when you consider the illusory truth effect, or the effect of something seeming more truthful by the mere repeated exposure to it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_truth_effect)

asking for the boy i'm in love with... he's been enjoying the CCTV view of four ambient / background yt vids at once, but tonight yt started asking him to sign in to confirm he's not a bot and effectively blocking him from using them (it works for him on yt proper bc he's signed in, but not through the sites that allow. multiple vids)

i'm not sure an alternative frontend would help, but i figured i'd ask if any of them had support for multiple videos? i think the proper solution will just to get him on a VPN but i figured i'd ask

asked here because i wasn't sure where else would be appropriate 😅 thanks in advance

bisexuality isn't inherently transphobic!

not saying you're necessarily implying that, but it's a general stereotype which, while it can be true on an individual level, certainly isn't when taken as a whole

here's the bisexual manifesto, also, since it goes hard: https://bitheway.carrd.co/#manifesto

i'd like to see more than "i don't know if it holds water", especially since you don't couch it nearly as well in your previous post bringing it up

a thesis is on the onus of who brings it up to substantiate it; if you can't defend it, i would question the wisdom of bringing it up in an already contentious conversation

wasn't sure where else to put this, since, while chronic, this definitely doesn't qualify for /c/chronicillness LOL (idk how to link communities sorry)

(post tone: lightly frustrated, somewhat comedic description of problems and viewpoints; i swear a lot in my normal speech, but i'm not pissed or anything)

i've been dealing with nasal/sinus issues for over a decade: i've had a couple surgeries for it, i'm currently doing braces, which is fixing the underbite situation and helps with nasal drainage, and i'm on a good amount of allergy meds to mitigate the situation

the doc i had ten years ago and the doc i just saw today told me the same thing: rinse my nose with saline twice a day

now, if i was willing to do that, i wouldn't be seeing a doctor. i know that i can simply waterboard myself persistently enough and the problem will go away

my issue is that i need to flush my sinuses at all to be a functional person (thankfully, on the current routine, it's maybe a few times a week, vs twice a day)

i should have talked about this in more detail with the doc, and i'll see him again after some allergy testing and talk about it more then (i needed a minute to compose myself 💀); but i mostly wanted to get a survey of other folks with these issues: do y'all just fuckin live with rinsing your nose out twice a day?? i been doing it for a decade, i know how to do it correctly, i just HATE DOING IT, i cannot imagine doing it 2x a day willingly

(if you're wondering what part of the process i hate, it's all of it; having to bank distilled water, dealing with either cold water in your congested nose (shitty) or having to heat up the water to the right temp to be warm but also not burn the shit out of your nasal passages (pain in the ass), and then having to clean a shitload of salt water out of your face because why the fuck would it drain out cleanly)

got my consult for FMS recently and i was told something interesting: apparently, if i hadn't used braces to straighten my bite, we could have done surgery to bring the jaw forward (and improve my jaw/chin), instead of doing an implant (which i will now have to do)

kind of hit me like a "how the fuck was i supposed to know", but maybe this advice will come in handy for one of y'all

reminder that trans women are women and attraction to them (if you're a man) is straight

(i'm aware of the rest of your post but felt like this was a good thing to bring up)
