i have no idea how "pikachu's frozen corpse" was a concept that ever got far enough to end up in an actual pokemon game

Tell me when you get bored. A story about doses. [x]
I posted this on twitter and had a variety of aggressive ableism thrown my way.
This is a story about changing what I can in spite of what I cannot for the comfort of my loved ones. The thing that others find to be hurtful about me is that I like to spend time in silent solitude. People who love me often feel hurt that I tend to solve my own problems instead of leaning on them.
When we spend too much time together, people find my neutrality to be concerning, and it becomes too much for people to be unable to read me.
To show the people I love that I enjoy their company in ways they can understand, I pool my energy together to be high-energy, peppy, and social. Since this is not my natural state of being, it takes effort, which can only be expended in small doses. I amplify the things people like in me while filtering out everything they dislike about me when I am in their company.
I change my behaviors for those I love, but at the end of the day, I cannot change my neutral state of being, which is the thing that they want most out of me.
This is a story about me accommodating people in the best way I know how, not the other way around. I would truly appreciate it if people don't misconstrue this anecdote as me asking for dismissal of hurtful behavior when in reality, people find hurt in the fact that I simply exist, and I must change for them.

This scam made the California University study 124 imported oils and found that over 70% of samples failed the tests.
These failed:
Mezzetta
Carapelli
Pompeian
Primadonna
Mazola
Sasso
Colavita
Star
Antica Badia
Whole Foods
Safeway
Felippo Berio
Coricelli
Bertolli
These brands passed:
Corto olive
Lucero
McEvoy Ranch Organic
Omaggio
California Olive Branch
Bariani Olive oil
Lucini
Ottavio
Olea Estates
Cobram Estate
Kirkland Organic
Also, test the olive oil yourself at home. Put the bottle out when cold, or in the fridge for 30 min. if it gets solid, it is pure and has monounsaturated fats.

Broke:
Belle has Stockholm syndrome because she falls in love with the Beast, her kidnapper.
Woke:
Stockholm syndrome was coined to slander a woman who had been in a hostage situation but openly criticized the poor police response which recklessly put her in more danger and escalated the violence. She was then belittled and discredited publically by the police for this.
So. Yeah. Maybe Belle does have Stockholm syndrome actually.

I love Matilda because it's a story about a child who sees injustice around her and gets mad about it and questions why things aren't fair, and instead of the ending being that she learns how the world works and that life isn't fair, she catapults one of the adults who abused her out of a building with her mind

over the weekend at the knoxville regional pokemon championships, i met up with a longtime internet friend in person for the first time, and he traded me a very special pokemon - a unique celebi that takes a bit of context to explain the significance of
from november 2001 to january 2005, the building that is now a nintendo world store in new york city was actually an american pokemon center, which hosted the "Gotta Catch ‘Em All!" station, a large machine that you could pop your gold/silver/crystal cartridge into (or later ruby/sapphire/firered/leafgreen, but that's not relevant here) and get a special distribution pokemon unique to the store. often times these were normal pokemon in eggs with special moves they couldn't usually learn, but other times they ran distributions for shiny legendaries, and of course, the mythical celebi.
there's very few pictures of the machine and all of them are pretty low quality, but you can see an iteration of it here during the gen 3 era:
when PCNY (pokemon center new york) shut down, the machine and its contents were presumed lost forever, but due to the preservation efforts and the good luck of a few individuals, some of the distributions have been preserved, as well as parts of the machine and its software. this is extra incredible because almost all gen 2 save files from the time the machine was actually functional are long since wiped due to the battery inside dying, meaning that very very few of the gen 2 event pokemon distributed from this machine at the time still exist. i won't go super in detail on that in this post but you can read an article about all of that here (julie, the person who runs this historical PCNY fansite is incredibly passionate and if you want to know anything about the PCNY store i absolutely recommend reading her writing!)
so, one day when i was rambling to my friend (his name is Venty!) about my fascination with the PCNY machine, and how i wish i had been born early enough to experience that, as well as wishing that i could have traded with anyone in gens 1-3 as a child but never got to due to isolation, venty told me that he's actually friends with a guy (Professor Rex) who knows the guy who owns the remnants of the PCNY machine (Gridelin), and he would love to reach out and ask if there's any way rex could distribute a celebi to himself and trade it to him sometime so that eventually when me and venty met in person one day, he'd be able to trade the celebi to me.
i pretty much burst into tears and very passionately explained how much that would mean to me - not just because owning a celebi actually distributed from the historical PCNY distribution station is just... insanely cool, but because like i said, i had never traded anyone in the old internet-less generations of pokemon, and having that be my first was just... a monumental thought. i am deeply fascinated with old gen event distributions because of the tactile, interpersonal nature of them, in direct contrast with my isolation and loneliness as a child. it might sound silly to be so worked up over a collection of bytes/pixels, but i really couldn't believe venty would offer me something so kind. and not only did he offer to ask - rex said yes!!
so on may 21st last year (2023) rex traveled out and distributed the celebi to his pokemon silver cartridge. specifically, the celebi is from the "Celebi Present Campaign" which ran from the 22nd of november 2002 to the 28th of november 2002. the display on the monitor is the same video that would have appeared on the screen in the PCNY store, but flipped sideways here haha. (the gen 2 distributions were special and had custom animations for the legendaries and stuff, which you can watch here in full quality on gridelin's channel - there's videos of the other distribution animations on his channel, too!)
and then months later, during the weekend of august 11th 2023, rex and venty met up at the pokemon world championship in japan and rex traded the celebi to venty's gold cartridge...
...then, finally, just this past weekend, on sunday (february 4th 2024) venty and i finally met in real life for the first time at the knoxville TN regional pokemon championships, and with link cable in hand the celebi finally made its way to me in my hotel room, after crossing the ocean twice and passing through canada to the US to japan and back to the US...!!
gen 2 pokemon data isn't very complicated, but you can tell that my celebi is unique from the other PCNY celebis dumped online (here and here if you'd like to play with some of these historical pokemon yourself) because it has the trainer ID of 00204 which none of the publicly available celebis have - though of course to me, regardless of what becomes publicly available in the future (and i hope one day the common layperson can simply emulate the PCNY machine, video game preservation >>> unique collections always) this celebi will always be special and unique because of how it got to me, and because it represents my friendship with venty who i care so much about. it was an extremely kind gesture i will never forget and i can't believe how much traveling and how many people were involved with getting this tiny bundle of bytes and pixels to me. i hugged venty after the trade was done haha
oh, and by the way, don't worry, i have the hardware to back up my gen 2 save files so this celebi will never die even after my crystal cartridge battery eventually dies once more!! (also, while i don't think it would be an issue i do want to say please don't bother any of the people mentioned in this post...! gridelin & co are working on making the distribution machine in question available for anyone to use, it'll come out whenever it's out and for now there are dumps of the events that were recovered. i would not want them to receive any annoying requests for pokemon because of me. thank you!)
#this is so so so cool#genuinely this is super cool#i too would be hugging the person#maybe even shedding a tear#we missed a celebi distribution after breaking our console as a kid#and we cried for that#i love this

I will go to messages, but I do want to respectfully say this:
I don't disagree with your life experiences, especially since your experiences are pretty similar to my own in terms of trauma, stereotyping, dysphoria, and the disproportional amount of sexualization women have to go through against their will.
I commented originally... basically because I was surprised that someone I perceived as being on the opposite side of some issues had a lot of similar experiences to my own!
I just disagree with some of your views, and I like to occasionally converse with 'the other side' of issues. But, the life experiences that influenced them are completely valid to me. I mean this genuinely.
We may interpret stuff differently, but... there's room for the both of us. You're human, I'm human. (This was my original point.)
dysphoria and desisting
After reading accounts from a number of dysphoric women (some desisted/detrans, others still deeply entranched in gender ideology), I’ve decided to reflect upon my own experience. It’s a bit long and not very well articulated, as I’m not that eloquent in English, so please bear with me.

Long post time, sadly. I hate that I'm actually talking about my life on social media, but I started this (zero clue why), and I was a fool for doing so....
This was your post, and I did commit the crime of commenting on it. I should've minded my own business as usual, engaging with things I like and chilling. I apologize.
Also, I should preface this by saying this post just expresses disagreement with a viewpoint, and I have no intentions of disrespecting you as a human being.
...here goes:
--
I wasn't saying "I wish you never found this community :(" -- I was saying I hate to see that you were traumatized by transitioning, and I am sorry you were. No one should have to go through that experience.
It is great that you found sisterhood and fellowship eventually. I love seeing healing and growth. Hardships, as horrible as they can get, breed opportunities for us to grow as people, and I'm glad you feel you have grown and are continuing to heal.
But, I also feel terrible for the fact that it turned you against the entire process/practice of transition for others just because it didn't work for you. I disagree with that mentality.
--
And... yes, gender critical for you apparently does mean anti-trans, given you literally just said I was in fact not the thing I am, and I am "playing make-believe." That's anti-me-being-trans. That's anti-my-identity-and-presentation.
One can criticize things without being anti-them-in-entirety, but this is not the impression I receive.
Both the federal and state government (in my state) recognize me as a man. My coworkers, friends, and family recognize me as a man. I look like, act as, and mentally just am a man.
I have nearly fully transitioned (3 years in), and my medical care is not being interrupted, either -- I am a man with an assigned-female-at-birth body. I've settled with that, and I do not deny my biology. (That's the whole point of the "trans man" label, versus a cis man.)
A "man" is a social role, not a genital or secondary sex characteristic alone. Just as a "woman" is -- many things make up the definition for a "woman." Society (many times stupidly and arbitrarily) lays out what men are supposed to look like and be and what women are supposed to look like and be. I feel most comfortable in my skin and in all spheres of life being a man.
So, no. This is not playing make-believe. It is playing the role I feel most natural playing, rather than a role I was forced to play by society -- much like yourself. It is playing the role my brain naturally gravitated toward, then supporting it by transforming other facets of my person as needed (notably, the name, pronouns, certain parts of the body, and wardrobe).
Thank goodness I had the option of social and medical transition, though, for my individual flavor of grueling self-discovery. It has saved my life.
--
I am not anti-you-being-a-detransitioner. I said your experiences as a nonconforming woman were valid. What I said was I wish the trauma didn't turn you toward radfem/TERF/gender-critical territory.
Trans rights (access to "trans" healthcare, more research on the nuances of gender identity, etc.) would actually aid detransitioners and others who are nonconforming but not trans. Trans rights help deconstruct the most harmful parts of a binary system that excludes and marginalizes other genderqueer people, intersex people, and nonconforming cisgender people -- not just transgender people.
This world needs more voices in general to speak up and report their experiences without it blocking access for others and disrespecting the validity of others' experiences.
--
tl;dr: Gender nonconforming cis women are valid. Trans people are valid. Both groups can be valid and coexist in this world is all I was saying.
I relate to the post and felt a lot of similar things to you, but a different path was right for me than it was for you, and I wish anti-trans was not your resolve now. I am not anti-detransitioner or anti-woman by any means.
--
[Content warning for some serious trauma stuff below, in relation to yours. May be triggering -- reader discretion advised.]
I also want to mention:
I was sexually harassed and assaulted repeatedly as a woman, I self-harmed, I attempted suicide, I starved myself (to the point of muscles cramping and possibly atrophying, hindering my ability to walk), I went through a period of bulimic behavior and multiple other periods of disordered eating, and I too went through a transformative low point where I nearly died from how much of a failure I felt like, then realized many things I was forced to acknowledge about myself. This all happened over the span of pre-teenhood into early adulthood.
I relate to your post, but just... ended up going down a different path. I respect the path of figuring out you were a woman, regardless of what society says about women, and beginning to love fellow women as well. I am glad this saved your life as transition has saved mine.
dysphoria and desisting
After reading accounts from a number of dysphoric women (some desisted/detrans, others still deeply entranched in gender ideology), I’ve decided to reflect upon my own experience. It’s a bit long and not very well articulated, as I’m not that eloquent in English, so please bear with me.
