You did get a much more sensible result at least

If you’re at home, it’s pretty easy to hang your butt into the shower and point the stream of the shower head at your anus. Don’t even have to undress, just turn the water up low enough to not splash everywhere.

Isn’t mensa sort of a con itself?

Binding your chest with tape is an established thing that can be safe. Safer than a wearable binder even, since it doesn’t compress your entire rib cage. It can also be left on for a few days at a time. But duct tape is just about the least skin safe tape you could use for that.

If this is of interest to anyone, there’s purpose made binding tape. If you find that too expensive, get some of that breathable fabric medical tape from the pharmacy/drugstore.

I don’t even have a large chest and even medial tape is suuuuuper uncomfortable to me. Couldn’t imagine the sensory horror of duct tape. But for those who don’t have this sensory issue, this fabricy medical tape stuff from the pharmacy/drugstore costs about the same as duct tape, which is much less than actual binding or breast tape*, and it’s skin safe.

*I’m assuming binding tape and breast tape are more or less the same, except the former is advertised to AFAB trans people and the latter to cis women. Both are pretty expensive.

Some of the comments are describing scenarios where every day is pretty much the exact same, with a tiny little bit of choice in how to create variation, and you’re in physical discomfort and pain. That’s just real life for some chronically ill/disabled people.

My partners barber always asks if he should do the eyebrows too

Side point, but there’s male three colour cats. Cats can be chromosomally intersex, just like humans. My family used to have a male calico. They usually have XXY chromosomes.

Even in the first one, ‘boys will be boys’ is often used to explain why you react differently to the same scenario depending on whether it’s a boy or girl. I remember being scolded for this stuff as an AFAB, while boys got away with it. Same story with getting into little physical fights, being rowdy, aggressive, destroying stuff. I guess that can be a slippery slope into the latter one, if you keep it up long enough. Just my attempt at an explanation.

I really hope that’s how most people read it, even though it doesn’t read like that to me at all. If the way it comes off to me is a common way to read it, that’d be pretty harmful. So I really hope your reading is the more common one.

Not to be a buzzkill but this makes autism sound like some singular random quirky trait rather than a complex and profound difference in how you process the world around you as well as your own thoughts. Really rubs me the wrong way as an autist.

Usually when an unpleasant, inconvenient, non-optional ‘feature’ like this comes out, it’s at least obvious how that’d generate the culprit company more profits. But with this one, Im genuinely befuddled as to how it benefits YouTube shareholders. Anyone have a guess?

Honestly, that sounds like it could give a modicum of comfort in a fucked up situation. Nothing you did did in any way contribute to the tragedy that happened.

Sure, if you can shell out 360$ for a blender (that’s the one that’s linked on the site you linked).

Also, while it’s still marked up and doesn’t enjoy the same government subsidies, plant milk can be cheaper than cow’s in many places.

I’ve never been under the impression that any edible plant part is a vegetable. Like, an almond? An apple? Rice? Cinnamon? I could go on. All edible plant parts. I’ve never heard of them be referred to as vegetables.

The last sound being one that afaik doesn’t exist in English. It’s like the j in jalapeño but waaay guttural. It’s the Greek letter χ.

It’s pronounced yiff, right?

Curious, is anyone pronouncing them the same or does this only work in text?

They don’t, they’re a distinct third thing with a distinct third type of cells

They are, however, more closely related to us animals than they are to plants. As in, our last common ancestor is less far back.

Also, unrelated to your comment, but related to the post: vegetable isn’t a botanical term, but a culinary term. So, there’s no bioligical basis for vegetable in the first place, so there’s no issue with counting mushrooms among them. Sure, it’s a bit inconvenient that the word ‘fruit’ is both a culinary and a botanical term in English, and there’s overlap to it, but that doesn’t mean it’s somehow illogical that some things are culinarilu fruits but not botanically, and vice versa.

As a matter of experience, cyclists will use the sidewalk right next to the cycle path if it means they can skip a red light or makes their path 10m shorter. Or even just because. Or to pass a stopped tram, people getting off it be damned. These are all things that happen daily in my city, the very last one has caused the collision that left me with chronic pain.

Endangering others for your convenience is nobody’s right.
