everything, - - -, advice and sympathy appreciated
This relationship isn’t working. The Midwest isn’t working. I want to get the fuck out of here, three years in Illinois and for the most part I haven’t enjoyed it. I hate the weather. I have no queer community. Chicago at its best seems just okay. I just want to start over, somewhere nice, and forget I ever lived here. Where’s good? Where do queer folks live?
re: lewd mechanical shitpost
@skolli Long studs usually require careful Torquing. Prone to breakage.
Bigger/longer lug nuts are for Softer studs only. Big And Soft studs are best replaced with harder studs unless elasticity or specific yeilding characteristics are desireable in the application.
Shorter, Thicker studs are best for high performance applications, as they're less prone to stretching and losing torque on their nut.
Any opportunity to use a press fit stud over a through hole stud should be taken, as this reduces overall stud length and allows for precise stud to bore fits.
Stud to bore fit is crucial in high performance applications where radial loads are applied that exceed the clamping force normal. Tapered nuts and countersunk holes are crucial in these arrangements as they allow for perfect alignment of stud and bore, without any chance of stud surfaces marring the mating bore.
This entire schema relies on precise positional matching between mating features. Misalignment may case nuts to cock to one side after torque is applied, causing lateral stresses that can snap your dick clean off.
Random gender rumination
Keri: Men and Women really do speak in two different languages, and TBH, it's the most important thing about your gender presentation.
This was driven solidly home by the fact that I can be in possession of the meatsuit, and it doesn't matter how masc the rest is coded, it's enough to jam the signal for most people.
Like, to the point a bit of nail polish and some feminine coded clothing is enough to overcome the Beard's influence.
Tried it stone cold on some Boomers too. I was out, and I'm an Extrovert with a capital F, and I struck up a conversation with a boomer couple. The man was uncomfortable, but the Wife bubbled away with me all the way in about Nothing, because she was happy someone was around who spoke the same language.
It's still English, Mind you. There's just so much that goes on under the surface that you don't Recognize it, unless you've Also got a guy living in your head, who speaks Male. *Her eye twitches* Don't get me started on masculine language, most of it's some kinda profanity one way or another.
GRS Hot Take
Kerithe: No, I don't want my dick turned inside-out, I want a Vagina. Grab that 3D printer and some stem cells and get to work!
Don't make me get into bio-sciences just to get what I want, I've cross-classed enough already.
Besides, nature didn't give us a lot to work with here, and I've always loved really big clits on girls. ... Ours just turns into a Cock sometimes.
Horny, bodymods
When can we get to the point where going thru HRT or getting bodymod surgery can be treated like getting a Tattoo?
Like I don't wanna go to a GP and tell them I want my bits re-arranged, I wanna go to a medical parlor staffed by folks who've been thru it or otherwise Know what they're talking about.
I trust Doctors about as far as I can throw them, but most Tattoo artists I know I'd trust with my Life.
Because their Soul is on the line too, when they're working.
meta thoughts, ads
It's so subtle, but do you notice how few people here talk about "the latest thing" on mastodon? Whether that's movies or events or news...
When you take the ads away from folks, they don't talk as much about what the corporations want them to be talking about.
Instead they talk about their lives. Their loves. Their interests. Their dreams.
