When fruit get to good mushy point, put in fridge to stop from getting bad mushy fast. Fruit then stay good mushy longer and give more time to eat before bad mushy happen.

33·2 months agoFind a hobby you’re interested in if you don’t have one already. Find a group in your area that meets up to discuss or engage in that hobby in person. Make friends with the people in that group by just existing around them and talking about your shared interest. Maybe one of those friendships turns into a relationship, maybe not.
Don’t think of the people there as potential partners but as people you like spending time with and genuinely enjoy being around. If one of those friendships has mutual attraction and becomes a partnership, that’s great! If not, you’ll probably meet other people through them and maybe one of those will turn into a relationship.
Examples of hobbies for introverts that provide more structure for interaction and can have limited talking if needed:
- Boardgames / dueling card games like Netrunner / tabletop roleplaying games
- Pinball
- Video games fighting games or speed running communities are more widespread for in person events
- Book clubs
- Hiking, rolling skating, skateboarding, tennis, pickleball, basketball, soccer, bicycling, running, or swimming if you want to get some exercise
2·7 months agoHate to be that person, but this one was a pretty prominent one that I can remember in recent history (10-15 years ago was recent, right?) mainly because of his name.

As fucked up as it is, this case still seems so tame compared to Trump.
Anyway, don’t want to get into the middle of the fun y’all seem to be having nor get stuck in looking up every single politician who has raped a minor. I just remembered this one example.
A yearly meeting with your boss where they either tell you all the things you did great and maybe a couple small things you can improve on while not paying you more, or they tell you how terrible you did and try to pressure you into doing more work by hanging the threat of your job (homelessness, loss of insurance, death) over your head.

Pretty sure that suffering is consensual, so it’s fine. It’s like how vegans can drink human breast milk or eat people who want to be cannibalized.
If everyone was supportive, I think it would be fine. It’d be seen like needing glasses. We just need this relatively easy medical care and it’s far less effort if intervention is done before puberty.
Transitioning socially would be less of an issue too since it’d be seen as just something that happens sometimes and has been normalized.
211·10 months agoDuring hostile ignorance:
- I had to leave the state I grew up in to get into a place I could access medical care, get away from an unaccepting family, and get into a place I wasn’t afraid of being attacked while transitioning (being visibly trans till HRT kicked in).
- Trans panic was seen as more of a valid defence back then for killing trans people.
- I think we were seen as more of a curiosity/fetish than people, but that’s debatable since that’s definitely still an issue.
- People were more afraid of being visibly trans and finding community outside of forums was harder.
- I was certain I’d lose my job when I inevitably had to come out and had prepared for it by saving up enough to get me through finding another job. I was amazed when that didn’t happen and most of the company accepted me. I still had to deal with harassment that nowadays would probably get those people fired.
During hostile attention:
- I had to leave my home due to the state no longer ignoring us and focusing on passing laws to make our lives more difficult.
- I know a ton of trans people and have a stronger support network. Finding others is easier now.
- Medical care is easier to get now if you aren’t living in one of the states currently trying to ban HRT.
- Parents seem a little more accepting but it’s still divisive
- I’m less afraid of the average person fucking with me in most areas of the US
- I’m afraid of government attempts to round myself or loved ones up into camps within the next few years.
Generally, I prefer the visibility and broader social acceptance we have now. More people know about us, so more people hate us but way more people accept us. I see it as how being gay was in the aughts. More people were out and it was less of a big deal even though there was still a lot of hate crimes against gay people. Now it’s way more accepted outside of ultra conservative areas. I’m hoping we are more accepted within a decade instead of being rounded up and killed en masse.
Lesser known chess move like en passant. When you get into the ménage à trois board state you’re forced to immediately stop the game and eiffel tower with your opponent and any 3rd party. Whoever cums first loses.
There are definitely some amazing PMs, but I’ve met way more terrible PMs who don’t know shit about fuck and don’t care to learn than good PMs.

This article is a good breakdown.
https://www.wcpo.com/transgender-mice-fact-check-trump-2025The transgenic mice thing is for one of the several studies listed which I think we’re justified in highlighting and poking fun of their lack of QA and reading comprehension in these releases since they’re supposed to be representing the US and acting like drunken college students doing their homework the night before it’s due.
The other studies are on the affects of HRT or “gender-affirming therapy” which is used by cis people all the time. Ever heard of a cis man going to get testosterone because he’s concerned about his low T? That’s gender affirming therapy. Most cis people don’t realize how much “trans healthcare” affects them too. Some of this research is specifically on “cross sex” hormones and is probably more directly applicable to the trans community, but it also likely has broader implications on the science of hormones and side effects for everyone regardless of if they’re cis or trans. This is one of several reasons why we say trans rights are human rights.
2·1 year agoYeah, last time I checked anyway. I think it’s been about a year since I last used it for that though.
There is so much voter suppression in the US. I didn’t realize some of the more subtle ways it was suppressed until I moved to a state that has way less of it.
The US needs to end voter suppression. There are several ways of doing this but the top items: Mandate all election days (even those just at the state level) be paid holidays, automatically register all citizens to vote as soon as they turn 18, and make voting compulsory (not with punitive measures)
In Texas, the following is routine suppression other than the common nationwide suppression:
-People are often purged from voter registration even if they’re an active voter and voted in the last election. If you don’t check your registration months before the election, you’ll think you’re fine because you just voted but may show up and be told you’re no longer registered.
-Voting registration is cut off 30 days before the election. This is on the high end of the cutoff and further increases chances you get purged, don’t realize it in time, and then can’t re-register.
-Voting registration is mail in only. You have to physically print off the form and mail it in. This takes substantially more time when the post office is no longer a common trip for most people. It could easily be an online form like it is in many states.
-Rotating polling locations and hours for early voting. If you try to vote early on a day off for instance, you may get to the polling location and realize it’s only open on certain days of the week while other locations are open the full week or it has arbitrarily reduced hours on certain days. Other locations may then be much farther from that location.
-Polling locations far way from you. You may have to drive 30 minutes to 1 hour away to vote even in a city or if you don’t have a car, public transit may take prohibitively long (2+ hours one way) to get to the polling location.
-Attacking mail in ballots as fraudulent and often throwing them out. Based on 2022 data, 6-20% are thrown out depending on the county.There are so many more little things which all add up to the purpose of preventing people from voting. No wonder people don’t vote or attempt to vote, can’t, get discouraged or don’t have more time off to vote, and give up.

6·1 year agoVolume changes based on temperature and pressure. So when we reference volume measurements like for flow rates, we typically do the math to adjust those to standard temperature and pressure. Standard pressure is 1 atm but standard temperature varies based on who you’re talking to because of competing standards. It’s usually 25 C or 20 C.
When we want to reference the non temperature and pressure corrected volume, we append actual to it so that people know what the measurement is. Some people don’t do that and that causes confusion for others using their work if the reading is standard or actual.
There are no dates on this post or sources. I can’t find that this survey exists. I confirmed Bailey is still a professor at Northwestern University.

Anyone else have any info on this? Was this a survey that already happened? That reddit user may have just been created for this survey a year ago and it’s old news.
