Wanting a partner who would act like that does fit the vibe, I think.

I've never had an issue with ice cubes fracturing in the twist trays if they're trapezoid shaped, since it just makes them pop up when they're squeezed by the angled walls. The newer ones I've seen that are rounded instead have a lot more issues, though.

It certainly seems like it should be simple to find a good one. It feels like we perfected the technology ages ago and then for some reason no one kept making the good ones. XD

That listing looks like it might be good at face value but it also seems potentially suspicious. I'll probably see if I can find third party reviews of it to double check (compared to the Amazon reviews that are easier to spoof).

I appreciate the sentiment of wanting to avoid plastic. But I'm not sold on that style of design, especially because it looks like the cubes are not uniform in shape (with the ends being significantly different) which I know would bother me. I think it probably would be possible to make an ice cube tray in the twist style out of metal, if it was a relatively flexible metal. I haven't seen any yet, though.

I've had bad experiences with modern-style plastic ones. The ones I tried were not shaped well to pop the ice cubes out and the thin plastic quickly broke. And I've had bad experiences with the hybrid silicone ones as well, their seams are a failure point and they're less convenient as well.

Durable ice cube trays? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'm losing my mind over this. XD

When I was growing up, my parents had ice cube trays made of solid plastic, with trapezoid shape so the cubes pop out when you twist it. Those trays lasted through my entire childhood and worked great. I want to buy ones like that (either made of thick plastic like that or metal that's flexible enough to twist like that). But I've never seen them in stores, and after scouring the internet I can't find any like that online either. Everything looks like the same sorts of flimsy materials that I know will break quickly, or is square metal so the cubes won't pop out like that. Does anyone know where I can find trays like that?

Where can I find someone with penis greed?

I'd be willing to sign up for that. I haven't moderated anything on Lemmy yet but I have some mod experience from other platforms, and I check Lemmy frequently.

I'm not a lawyer, but from my understanding there's actually no legal obligation for them to delete US citizens' data. They generally delete it anyways to avoid creating backlash that would lead to regulation, though.

They couldn't even get a .gov domain for it? :P

Introduction (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

Hi,

I'm a recently cracked egg, and I figure I might as well introduce myself here.

I made it to age 31 before I figured it out. I've been dating a trans girl for over 3 years before realizing that I also am one, so I'm coming into it with a lot of knowledge, and as soon as my mind was opened to it I very quickly became sure of it. On the plus side, that means that I don't have any doubts about it myself.

So far I've told my girlfriend, therapist, parents, and some online friends. Mostly they've taken it well (My therapist and girlfriend were apparently expecting it before I realized it myself), although my dad has been somewhat resistant. I've been trying to convince him that it's right for me, with moderate success. I think I will be able to bring him around, with some more time. I've been too chicken to tell others that I know IRL, so far.

Also... now is not really a great time to be transitioning, given the current state of the world, especially the US (where I live). I think I definitely want to go ahead with it anyways, but I'll probably take some time before I pull the trigger on a social transition, and try to prepare some things beforehand. In particular, I want to do voice training in advance, and probably work on some fashion and makeup skills so I can immediately transition my voice and surface level appearance when I social transition.

I don't know if my new employer (starting next month) will be accepting of it, either, so maybe I want to work that job for a bit to get experience and test the waters before I decide how to proceed. I probably want to get some experience from that job before I bounce from it, so it would be ideal if they are accepting.

 

I found out about SDAM recently and it seems like I definitely have it, and from everything I've heard it has a lot of overlap with aphantasia. I'm wondering if it's even possible to separate them or they're part of the same thing.

I'm curious if anyone here has the experience of aphantasia without SDAM, and what their experience is like if that's the case. Like, how does one read those episodic memories without a mind's eye?
