LGBTQ+ Megathread & Lounge (Part 3)

I understand that, someone in extended family got stuck in an elevator for a few hours and they had to go to the bathroom! Not good.

Most elevators don’t bother me. The one at my therapy office I avoid at all costs though. I walk up three flights of stairs rather than use that elevator.

Apparently all of their Australian stores have ‘lifts,’ which I have deduced is the preferred nomenclature for elevators in the Land of the Kangaroo:

and now I am having a lexicological a-ha moment: they’re such positive devices. They’re all about bringing you from one level UP to the next. We don’t called them ‘descenders’ or ‘droppers.’

Maybe, in the distant future, when we live underground, we will change the term? Or, perhaps, we will retain it as a nostalgic memory of better days before the apocalypse?

Ahh, but, I digress…

Yeah, in the food store by the checkouts. (and it has been nearly a decade since I’ve been near an Ikea)

I will note I do like the finnish crispbread they sell there, little better carb wise than just straight bread, and if you make like an open face sandwich with it you don’t notice how bland it is on its own.

We had an employee get stuck in an Elevator in San Diego when they were trying to make their morning show time. When he called dispatch, I played this song through the phone:

(He was ok and we were friends…I think we still are even after this :upside_down_face:)

“I Saw the TV Glow” lit a fire under my butt and I’m trying now to start the HRT process.

Google says planned parenthood can help so I’m gonna try and go to one just to ask for help. In case I need to see a shrink first. They could point me in the right direction. Or maybe its different now and I can just go talk to folks in there to set things up.

Thankfully I don’t really desire many changes. Just my voice and getting some facial hair. I can live without top / bottom surgery.

I feel bad because Mom is not really aware how any trans related things work. So I’m hoping I can get someone to speak medical jargon with her so she’ll understand more. ( She’s a RN for those that don’t know )

Its silly but I just like treating a blahaj acquirement as a trans rite of passage. ( I know cis people buy them too and that’s great. It’s just kind of a thing with us trans )

Its just one of those “If you know, you know” things and that’s cute. Like when you tell someone “Hey I like your shoelaces” and they know the next thing to say.

( again. That last part is a “if you know. you know.” so that’ll be fun if anyone gets it )

You know, I thought WoW players took the cake when it came to complaining about devs adding accessibility.

But I have seen more tantrums from FF14 players in the past day about Square editing Viper in the coming patch because carpal tunnel/other hand issue players are giving feedback that it is painful to play Viper, because they enjoy the moving back and forth around the boss to maximize damage.

Like, it’s not hard to understand that just because you enjoy something doesn’t mean it’s immune to being changed if it’s physically painful for others to play.

Like, sure it sucks something you enjoy is being changed, but you’re essentially saying you don’t believe everyone should be able to enjoy an entire job/class in a game because of it.

There will always be those type of players who act like they are more, entitled if I recall correctly, over others. Basically, acting like it is only about them than it is for others.

I’m actually surprised how it first started as an internet meme on Twitter.

Ye. The space alien that Sephiroth takes over mentally.

Heh that’s the MR T character I think so I’m assuming you’re thinking of Barret XD

yes!! lol oops

Still cracks me up so many folks still treat him as Mr T. He’s great in the remake series. He’s got hints of Mr T but the va is doing his own thing too.
