honestly i only feel a deep connection to "i kissed a girl" cause it was covered in one of those "punk goes pop" albums by a male singer who sang "i kissed a girl just to try it, i hope my boyfriend dont mind it" which meant in my brain that the singer was more wow-ed by being straight than being gay which just MADE ALL THE HEARTS GO OFF INTO FIREWORKS IDK

As an aside, always be kind to phone reps. Be firm on your stance if you need to be, like for healthcare stuff, but don't be mean to the actual worker. We're so much more likely to go the extra mile for nice people.

Yeah I have friends who work for costumer service (and I’m also not a bitch) so I always am very respectful and nice cause I mean it’s not their fault, but I will also be adamant and tell them like “but I do really need help with this” cause I’ve noticed that otherwise they are like “okey tough luck kiddo, baiii” at least here
wintry monolith
I had a user say thank you and that I was always really helpful whenever she called in and I was damned near glowing with happiness after that call.
fading cedar
I also always tell the person working “have a really nice day” and almost always they are like “wtf did you just say” 😂
fiery steeple
the only time I get snippy with customer service is when I tell them what I want and they're just like "okay well we have these other options"
and I'm like "No. That's not what I'm asking for."
"but have you considered these other options?"
"Yes. And I know what I want, it's not that"
wintry monolith
Yeah no that's understandable
fiery steeple
but even then I still thank you and have a nice day at the end of it

On a funny note
I've called places, been helped, and then thanked them for calling and then kinda die inside+laughing and saying that I work call center too and then wish them a good day
Usually makes the rep laugh lmao

I had a vendor at a kiosque genuinely thank me for saying hello please thank you and have a nice day. It astounds and irks me to no ends that it happens so rarely this poor vendor would thank me for just the bare minimum of politeness and humanity...

I've worked costumer service and most people are generally super nice (at least with me) but I've definitly had the occasional bumhole...

Oh youd be surprised how many people DOESNT say hello to you
“I WOULD LIKE A COFFE, FAST”

I always genuinely thank reps for their help if stuff worked out, and even if it doesn't, it costs nothing to say "Sucks that we couldn't find that info, but I really appreciate your help with looking/thanks for looking into the issue for me!"

I was on the phone with a bank operative the other day, we legit spent an hour just chatting about life and current events whilst she was sorting issues I was having, like legit started talking about her daughter and struggles of young people, it was so nice I didn'r wanna hang up 😂

I had one screaming at me cause she got what she ordered, and then she said “I’m usually nice to YOUR KIND OF PEOPLE but you are a fucking idiot” and if I don’t have a label that says “homo as fuck” on me ...I guess she meant that I had coloured hair?

We had this one lady come for the 9 concerts the artist was holding in the concert hall, she came to our kiosque all 9 times, and complained Every. Single. Time about the chips being too salty.
Like bitch it's a 40k place stadium

then stop ordering chips ma'am

GO FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Ma’am maybe you should stop ordering the salted chips

My manager was an angel of patience, but even she was just at her wit's end
I SWEAR YOU'D THINK SHE'D THINK OF IT

"maybe if I complain the fourth time and order chips again they'll be less salty"
"ma'am I'm pretty sure at this point you're the one who's salty"
shrewd wasp
They weren't even that salty ToT
Honestly for concert chips you get on the fly they were pretty damn good
(I say chips I mean fries for my US friends hehe)
(Just fyi)
fiery steeple
tbf I don't like salty
but if some chips were too salty for me, I'd come back and just be like "would I be able to get some chips without salt?"
and if the answer was no because they'd all been salted I'd just order something else
shrewd wasp
I mean the potatoes were deep fried throughout the night so honestly if you were willing to wait a bit we prolly could have gotten you unsalted chips
Just yknow ask

The worst I got were a bunch of rowdy 20 something during a motorcross event. We sell beer at our stand, so needless to say we attract quite the crowd. These 5 or 6 lads started out pretty nice if a bit overbearing, but became more and more coarse and innappropriate hitting on my co worker and I, always buying more beer, and becoming honestly more worrying as the night went on, till thank god my manager cut them off and told them to get lost elsewhere, security in toe... Needless to say I stirred clear of that kind of events afterward...

I think what Raven referred to with "butt of the joke" is that the joke in the Superman comic is basically "haha, pink kryptonite made Superman gay", so that "being gay" is what's funny.

the ß also keeps the vowels "long" before it, where normally if you had a double consonant in German (ss for exampe in this case) you'd shorten the vowel

Not necessarily, ss and ß are pretty interchangeable. In the new grammar they're the exact same thing!

Yeah, modern days you can substitute ss for the ß, but historically what I said is accurate!
Though many prescriptivists will yell at you if you substitute the ss

Two of my friends identified as ace until they met their respective boyfriends and now identify as demisexual. My best friend (who is one of the two) honestly didn’t have anyone who even tried to understand her sexuality as being asexual aside from me. It’s sad the things people would tell her, thinking it was just a phase. As someone who is a bit demisexual myself, I totally didn’t question her identifying as asexual because I partially understand what that’s like; not being sexually attracted to someone (although in my case, it’s a bit different with sexual attraction towards someone gradually developing over time).

I totally agree with that
I just wanted to get to know the guy since we were supposed to be teaching together so in my mind it was just hanging out with someone

I wish I could say that was the most awkward moment of my life but unfortunately there are many that take the cake over that

hidden inlet
Communication definitely seems to be an area of improvement for a lot of people. But also, if someone gets mad at you for seeing other people when they or you haven't made it clear that you're interested in pursuing a relationship, that's on them.
That's gotta be somewhat stressful and confusing though

I would say keen but I'm more keen for the other end of the process

Orchiectomy is just a helpful way of dealing with hormone issues
For me, I have underlying medical conditions related to my liver so hrt...can be really hard to get right
The removal of testosterone production has been really helpful for me
fiery steeple
ohh that's rough

With balancing how much estrogen I need and vice versa

That’s good! Honestly a total hysterectomy would get rid of my estrogen production too which is why I want one too that and periods and such make me very dysphoric.

pure oasis
Its just something you should talk with yoru doctor about
rapid coral
Yeah it’s not a big deal. Everything will work out.
rapid coral
If you do have liver issues sometimes they do the whole injection based estrogen instead because it causes less problems than orally taken estrogen right?
pure oasis
I'm still talking to my doctor about that actually she was worried about it being worse

@fallow whale there's nothing wrong with being worried about changing your body

Oh I want it a lot lol
Like I can pass without it but it would make me a lot happier

Honestly you just have to identify as a different gender than you were born to be trans.

if you want it then go for it
live life without fear and regret so when you get to the other side there's no unfinished business keeping you on this miserable plane

I’m a trans person who plans on getting bottom surgery and such and medically transitioning but that’s not everyone’s experience.

Its different for everyone, my endocrinologist told me this one thing and I've always taken it to heart.
fiery steeple
yeah nobody is more or less transgender than anybody else
if you want it, get it
if you'd rather not or you're afraid of what could happen, then don't

I don't think I'd do surgery for now at least

"Your transition is yours, no one else's."

and that's valid too
I've also known folks who got HRT and never had the surgery

I found a discord that's for people who think that you need dyshoria and surgery to be trans and I was like wtf lol

gatekeeping is the goddamn worst

I think, if you don't identify with your gender assigned at birth then that's it

I was once in a server where they not only gatekept, but they kept shifting where the gate was that they were keeping just to keep excluding the people they didn't like

I used to be one of those people but it was because I was so angry about myself and how people could be happy about being trans when I was so miserable. It’s a terrible mindset and I’m glad I’ve learned.
fiery steeple
I was honestly relieved to get out of that place

I struggle to find servers I like
fiery steeple
well I hope you've got at least one!
