Trans Megathread for the Week of November 4th, 2024 to November 10th, 2024
  • I've posted before about my "stuff I just think is neat" or "neat thing I find" windowsill but I got a cute lil' sugarskull pot with some kinda succulent and transferred a hen & chick from the garden into a big baseball-crank mug that sucks to actually drink out of and I think it's cute

    (the little 👻 for the skull is a ring that was a decoration for a spoopy Halloween cupcake)

    Sukhoi Su-57 - New General Megathread for the 1st-3rd of November 2024
  • I think whooping cough is going around here, and flu

    Thankfully I'm faring a bit better than my family, fingers crossed I don't get the cough, so far it's just been a slight fever, tummyache and scratchy throat but no coughing

    spoiler

    Yeah

    I spent every one of those years where I wasn’t too dissociated to care blaming myself for not transitioning sooner and I still do it sometimes. I don’t really have an answer on how to deal with those feelings except to say that at a certain point you have to just pick up the pieces and keep moving. I’ll never get those years back, or the childhood I could have had if things were different, but I’m here now and I get to become myself at last

    Yeah, I'm trying to do my best on the "just pick up the pieces and keep moving" part. I guess a part that's really helped me recently is really getting a feeling for how incompetent a lot of people that "have their shit together" are, they're sometimes even more clueless than I am navigating life.

    Feeling like "successful" people that I've negatively compared myself against before are also dipshits has made me a lot less worried about being perceived as a weirdo? Like I already didn't really give a shit about what transphobes thought of me outside of my physical safety, but just doing more shit for myself and getting out more has made me feel a lot better about just going for shit and worrying less about fucking it up or looking like a dipshit, and that kinda extends to gender expression and transition for me.

  • I tried posting in music earlier and it kept saying 'slur'

    There wasn't one anywhere, and I checked the link URL too lol

    Is there a list for the slur filter anywhere here? I'm completely stumped on what it was catching.

  • Laurel Lea- "Lightning's Girl"

    !wtyp-gang (November Kelly voice) 1960s woman dysphoria

    Also the source of the "Death Grips (Next Grips)" sample from their debut EP

    (I'm pretty sure it's this and not the Nancy Sinatra version but I might be wrong)

    Quorators- Season of the Witch ft. Brynn Nieboer

    Love me some Brynn !soviet-heart !marisad

    Her interviews with Michael S Judge and !matt-jokerfied are really good too if you haven't seen them and Beep Beep Lettuce and Generation Loss are always good listens too imo

    Ways people say certain words that stick in your mind for some reason?

    !will-fancy "rather"

    !matt-jokerfied "geegaws"

    !liz-society "cray-zeee"

    !ypg-brace "muthafuckas"

    !zizek-preference saying "Trump" sounds like the noise Yoshi makes sticking out his tongue

    C. Derrick Varn "kluge"

    Stainless finish Beretta Neos .22LR SBR conversion, with suppressor

    (not mine)

    I hate how much I like this. It'd be stupidly overpriced to do on a .22LR plinker but I just think it's neat.

    Ron Sword- Demo piece for utonal just intonation guitar (ambient, xenharmonic, microtonal)

    SQUIGGLY FRET 7 STRING !isaac-pog

    Xenharmonic stuff that isn't super dissonant is so cool to me, this is really calming and beautiful but also really alien and kind of eerie and mysterious sounding !hexbear-specter

    Stoort Neer- En Glad Titel På En Sorglig Skiva (Instrumental, progressive metal, djent, thall)

    Solo side project from one of Vildhjarta's guitarists

    The most recent release under Stoort Neer is a full band with a vocalist and more post-hardcore/skramz-y

    Love the weird guitar tone and rubbery twangy bending thing he does

    Trans megathread and c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns not showing any posts?

    Checked a notification I got in the trans mega and the comment chain doesn't appear, and the original post for the mega about Leslie Feinberg displays but none of the comments appear for me. When I go to the c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns page, no threads appear. Did the com get scrubbed or is this some bug on my end?

    Gold & Youth- Empire State of Mind

    !im-doing-my-part "Death is Just Around the Corner.*

    >Well I grew up in the client-state of a petro king with a complicated take on things like human rights, But baby that's the sacrifice, for bringing joy to the world

    And I learned young how the west was won, with Christ's big heart and a bigger gun But it wasn't enough so we took the moon Because nazi rocket science too, can bring joy to the world

    The war on drugs, this righteous cause To clear our streets of criminals, now civilized by an opioid, so the Sackler family can enjoy Spreading joy around the world

    New York City, the world loves you and retribution was surely duе To the zealots who brought you hell, boy thе heroes in Langley taught them well How to infiltrate joy into the world

    Can’t we all just get along like Amazon and Raytheon Coming together to make a drone To bring us lunch and kill their sons in a synergistic 2-for-1 Ballistic joy to the world

    Please stop resisting all the joy in your world Just a car full of celebrities singing about the joy in your world

    A string of bad luck, in this final turn, we gathered around and watched our cities burn “Who could have possibly predicted this?!” said everyone

    So we'll boldly venture into the black, guided by a Grimes soundtrack We'll liberate some foreign stars and stick a flag on the face of mars There’s beauty in starting again, patient zero of original sin As the mantra rings across the land “how clever, look at us, we've done it again!”

    We're bringing joy to whole new worlds You must admit we've certainly got a knack for bringing joy To whole new worlds In time these aliens will learn to love the joy We bring to whole new worlds

    We're bringing joy to your world You’d better hope you don't have cheap bananas or else we're bringing joy to your world You’d better hope you don't have dead dinosaurs or we'll bring joy to your world You’d better hope you don't have big plans or else we're bringing...

    Nerve Institute: "Act Naturally"

    Recently have been going back through the Death is Just Around the Corner podcast and been marinating in a lot of its themes, and found some of MSJ's music digging deeper into everything I could find about the podcast and its topics, and this song he did about the JFK assassination and Lee Harvey Oswald is really beautiful imo.

    Lego Racers Remastered (25th Anniversary)

    Cool fan made remake project of Lego Racers in development. Some of the physics on the boosts and turning look kinda janky and stiff, but the dev said they'd work in it and it's still a one person work in progress and looks really cool to me, I loved that game as a kid and always thought it and Diddy Kong Racing were underrated and way more fun than MK64. Customizing your own minifig and kart and winning new building blocks was so cool, and the item system with upgrades and having specific items other than boosts factor into the design of the track's shortcuts was awesome. Soundtrack was full of cute goofy shit that I loved too.
