Avoid the green ones, they’re not ripe yet

In my early 30s. It was 2-3 times a week. A couple years ago it was basically every day because my friend group was also the polycule I was in and there were a lot of us. Currently it is back to basically every day because I’m going back to university and my new friend group are all students and I live in a student apartment so we see each other in and out of class.

Edit: actually it’s been basically every day for years now. Somehow forgot I was living with my best friend during the transition from leaving the polycule to moving abroad for school.

I love the completely different reactions of the two in the background

Just in case anyone doesn’t know the reference: https://youtu.be/dmFgAMTEg0E

What would you suggest instead of newegg now? I’m still using it out of momentum haven’t thought to look elsewhere in a long time

Walk or bike everywhere if possible. Go down any side path that looks safe, explore, poke around, find the interesting things. Go to tourist spots and photobomb people. Pick your nose right outside the window of an incredibly expensive restaurant. Talk with strangers while waiting for stuff (but read the room obviously) they’ll know about stuff to do you never would have thought of. Get engaged in the punk community they’re always doing free things and dirt cheap concerts. Find local musicians in a genre you like that aren’t popular outside regionally and see where they do a lot of smaller concerts, hang out at those places. Walk around community gardens. See what buildings you can get into and figure out if the roofs are accessible. Throw bricks at cops. Volunteer, a lot of times this is as simple as handing out food that someone else already made and you get to meet people and feel like you’re bettering your area. Seriously walk and bike everywhere if you can and be open to taking detours you’ll find so much stuff you’d never have found in a car

Cities want to be explored. They have so much to offer but you need to find it. Sometimes you can stumble into things, sometimes you have to know the right person, sometimes you specifically seek something out so you poke around related things until you work your way there. Keep an open mind and reserve some time whenever you can to just explore. The best stuff will show up eventually even if it takes a couple years

In my experience in Seattle, the people with money pretended to have the most fun. The punks, the poor people, they actually had the most fun. When people don’t have money to throw at impulse happiness they put a lot more work into building a life and community that can stand on its own. This includes mental well being such as finding ways to have fun

Also mushrooms are a cheap way to have the time of your life for 6-8 hours

When I was living in Seattle legal nudity was one of the big perks for me! On hot days I’d go around topless, completely nude sometimes, it was amazing. I am trans so the main concern was from phobes periodically trying to threaten me, and on a couple occasions where I was being a bit more wild with things like waving trans flags around while nude I’d have police called on me. They couldn’t ever do anything about it though no indecency here officer

School actually, only 10 minutes late 💪

Fuck I’m literally doing this right now

Salt!

This it?

If I knew then everything I know now, the pain, the emotional turmoil, having to discover my body on my own, how incredibly frustrating it is to feel useless during recovery, I’d still have done it. Even if I didn’t know I’d have as positive an outcome as I have had I’d still have taken that chance. My body was so wrong to me I was going to end up dead if it wasn’t changed. Everything is better now I’m so happy to have the body I do

Sure does work, and here you go my hole story: https://lemmy.zip/post/39222527

I was able to discuss desired outcomes but there’s no guarantee on these things. Plus the first surgery is more about getting everything in place and functional then people can go in later to pretty it up if that’s wanted. From what I experienced each surgeon has really specific skills and you shop based on that then let the chosen one go to town on the bits. The things I was most invested in had more to do with certain functionality than looks so that’s where my discussions were focused. Now that I’m here though I wouldn’t change a thing I think having a camel toe from hell is hilarious so it gets to stay

Damn wish I could find something like this. I’m mtf post surgery. For whatever reason my doctor blessed me with a camel toe big enough to punch time cards

To the downvotes: Can’t even joke about my own body lol, lmao even. If I had to choose to fight either a real camel or my disembodied camel toe I’d choose the real camel, and if you ever get the chance to see me in pussy hugging clothes you’d make the same choice

In Seattle there are tons of cherry blossom trees. People come from around the world to see them in bloom. Most the locals I know are like “fuckin cherry blossom petals getting on everything, making the bike lanes slick, getting all over the cars, have to clean them off everything, tourists blocking things to take pictures”

Also some hobbies can help in all kinds of ways! Harmonica for mouth control, rock climbing for finger strength and endurance, Rubik’s cube for finger dexterity, that kind of stuff

Honestly sounds fun but I’d want to vibe check with a coffee first lol

I should fucking hope so lol. Doesn’t matter to me anymore though I switched to Arch btw

I worked for Unity until recently. They have spent the last four years shifting from what they used to be into a beurocratic stress factory. I started at the tail end of them clinging to what they used to be and I was sold on that kind of work culture. Half dozen mass layoffs, two new CEOs, and most the old guard deciding to retire or find greener pasture, the place is a shell now.

Everyone left was scared and depressed or thinking they’d be the chosen few by sucking up. The team I was in was one of the last holdouts but hiring freezes and budget cuts meant every one of us that left was a lost headcount. When I left we were nearly 1/3 smaller and everyone remaining had to pick up all that slack plus new work.

Working there used to be vibrant and fun. Creatives and tech coming together to make a tool we were proud of. It rotted from the top down.
