Mango loco #1, whatever the white sugar free can is #2. Because sometimes I don’t want to speed run diabetes.

Have you tried the sugarfree watermelon variety? Had a solid week of drinking that exclusively after first trying it.

I used to regularly buy a case of the white can to bring into work for myself and my colleagues to share. We burned through them.

Mango Loco’s good, but it kinda’… loses its novelty after the first half of the second can… Honestly prefer the peach one (forgot the name) over Mango Loco:-?

I think the peach one is the Nitro version? That is also yummy, though less so to me.

Edit: Just replied from my replies pane, forgot Monarch, that is yummy, but I can taste the sweeteners in it just about.

Personally I miss old Ripper, I swear they changed it (probably sweeteners) from what used to fuel me at Uni in the 2000s.

I have tried neither, but I will give them a shot if I manage to find some!

Then I will promptly return here and present a backhand because you are objectively WRONG. The Punch is supreme!

(kidding, genuinely thanks for the recs, anything to detach myself from Coke…)

Get the yellow Rehab. Black tea and lemonade. The Peach is pretty good, too.

original zero sugar is better with red bull being better than that energy drinks shouldn’t taste like tropical juice they should taste like an energy drink “energy drink flavour” is delicious and they need to stop trying to hide it with sugar and fruit

For reference:

According to the DSM-5, the diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria include a marked incongruence between one’s experienced or expressed gender and their assigned sex, lasting for at least six months, manifested by at least two of the following: a strong desire to be rid of one’s primary and secondary sex characteristics, a strong desire for the primary and secondary sex characteristics of the other gender, a strong desire to be of the other gender, a strong desire to be treated as the other gender, and a strong conviction that one has the typical feelings and reactions of the other gender. Key points about gender dysphoria diagnosis: Significant incongruence: There must be a noticeable difference between the individual’s experienced gender and their assigned sex. Duration: Symptoms must be present for at least six months. Multiple criteria needed: A diagnosis requires experiencing at least two of the listed criteria. Distress or impairment: The incongruence must cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other areas of functioning.

Ahh fuck. Turns out I have gender dysphoria by this definition.

I’ve spent a bit thinking I don’t have it because I don’t have one of these. And now I’m told I only need 2? I got way more than 2.

Well, what are you waiting for? I wouldn’t hold out hope that things will change!

My main reason for holding out is a younger sibling who is in their final years of high school, thus a minor, and parents who are qanon level crazy. Don’t want to do something that would endanger their chances of going to college or make their life a living hell until they graduate high school.

There’s a high chance my parents will think college brainwashed me, not let my younger sibling go to college, leave this “corrupted country full of alphabet mobs” with my younger sibling, etc.

My parents are not originally from the US and have been talking about leaving the US once my sibling graduates college because of the woke virus, so the last option is quite likely.

So I’m not gonna come out publicly/to my parents until until my sibling is in college and out of my parents’ house. I’d rather continue a depressed shut in life for a year or two than ruin my sibling’s whole life.

This website also lists some different kinds of dysphoria that you can have: https://genderdysphoria.fyi/ You don’t need to fit the ‘perfect’ stereotypical trans picture to be trans.

Arent you basically admitting “genderfluid” folks and those with sex dysohoria (for lack of better term) are not the same thing? Because if thats the case, why do you need to claim our community and iconography?

For some reason I assumed you were one of the genderfluid types, and was confused why you were so eager to claim a difference. Im one of those with said horrific medical condition. When I referred to iconography and community; I meant the trans community, flag, ect.
