  • Yup, it absolutely crushes them to not only think that someone would actively reject masculinity, but it also can trigger some serious issues questioning their sexuality when they’re attracted to a transwoman. It’s kind of a “Hurt itself in its confusion” moment because their internal crisis could be fixed by just saying “Yeah, I like women and she is a woman” but instead have this deep sense of self-hatred because they’re attracted to “a guy”.

    It’s also part of the reason they really don’t give a shit about transmen. It’s understandable they’d want to want to be a man, because of course they would, being a man is awesome! They don’t have to question their sexuality, because even if they’re super masc, they’re still a woman, so they’re definitely not even a little gay.

    When we’re hiking 15 miles per day and were drinking 4 gallons of water per person in the New Mexico heat, stopping to set up a fire and boil ~40 gallons of water in the middle of the hike wasn’t really an option. I also appreciated not having to carry 32lbs of water on me all day long.

    Link played by Eliot Page and Zelda by Hunter Schafer? Even if it was so bad it made the OG Super Mario Bros. movie look like The Godfather by comparison, I’d still buy a ticket to support them.

    Boiling isn’t necessary. They make antimicrobial tablets you can add as well. We used them when I was on a 2 week backpacking trip and basically just used a bandana folded over 4 times for sediment, fill at the top of the water with the neck facing downstream, and then add a disinfectant tab and let it sit for however long it says. It tasted a bit like pool water if you drank it immediately, but if you filled all your bottles at once, they usually didn’t taste very chlorinated and it was pretty amazing water.

    A shocking number of people feel this way, including myself, but damn if I don’t love my boobs now.

    I’ve talked with some cis women as well and apparently the feeling is pretty common for them too when they go through puberty. Boobs are kinda awkward, and very visible and draw attention, so there’s kind of a natural hesitancy about them in the back of your mind.





  • It really does make a huge difference. My friend’s parents are the same age and are relatively young, in their early 50s. His mom smokes, and looks even worse than the left image, while his dad isn’t even in great shape but easily looks 10 years younger than her at a minimum.

    I also know someone who stopped smoking and after a year or two she looked significantly younger, it was kind of crazy. Didn’t even really make any other significant lifestyle changes tbh.

    They have this as a demo at DTW airport where you scan your boarding pass, and it displays on the massive main screen entering the terminal “Welcome (Your Name)” with your flight information, but only you can see. I don’t remember the maximum number of people who can use it independently, but It’s insanely cool technology nonetheless. I really hate the reality that it’ll probably only be used for personalized advertising though…




  • The number one thing to consider is having a heat pump. I live in SE Michigan with my i3, having owned one without a heat pump and now with, it’s night and day difference. Even when it’s -15F, I only lose about 30% range at most while it was closer to 50% without the heat pump. Preconditioning the battery makes that closer to only a 15% loss.
