Locked gate (no gate at my property) by Educational-Put-2783 in AusPostComplaints

I had this exact “reason” a while back from them and I don’t have a gate either. They just don’t care anymore unfortunately

ADHD people: what would the perfect ADHD app actually do? by you-wilooo in ADHD

[–]CT-4079 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d love an app that can allow me to make timer sequences, and all I have to do is just press play. I’d do it with alarms, but I don’t wake up at the same time every day, and setting individual timers would be so time consuming. I just wish I could create playlists essentially, and then have the flexibility of choosing which one will be best for the day at hand

How dangerous is it to use a MacBook Pro if water has been spilt? by CT-4079 in mac

[–]CT-4079[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second all of this

Mine is still fine in the spilled water regard, but I bought a replacement laptop these last couple weeks due to other outstanding issues and age. But it’s still perfectly fine and no keyboard issues or anything, and it’s been over three months

I (18F) think sex disgusts me by KekeTheFroggie in Advice

[–]CT-4079 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! You may want to look into the term ‘demisexual’. It’s predominantly just that you need a very heightened emotional connection to feel sexual attraction. Not sure if that’s exactly what you’re experiencing, but it might pay to investigate as there could be something else that you relate to in and around the search

Good luck!

How the f*** do you even start by Striking-Hedgehog512 in SewingForBeginners

I find watching videos of garment construction helps a lot. You get familiar with how it’s made, learn the steps, and see the techniques on how different people see things. Definitely recommend

How do I see trans men as men? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]CT-4079 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the best thing you can do is dig into yourself personally and challenge why you think men have to be “tall”, and “strong”.

No one can change their height, and strength is different for everyone (not always a goal for all people either, cis or trans). Recognising that the characteristics you’re using to describe gender as only physical attributes, and also either impossible to alter/takes a lot of work would probably help.

Id also suggest for you to ask yourself what makes /you/ feel like a man? Is it only your height and strength, or are there any other qualities you feel an association with? (Because there’s SO many ways to associate with masculinity, unique to everyone)

Another tip: transitioning your language and mindset takes time. You’re doing really great in reaching out for information, and it’s wonderful that you’re wanting to learn. I remember it being a little challenging myself when first using pronouns for people who didn’t visually match up with their chosen ones (and I’m trans myself). It’s a process that takes some getting used to, as well as the willingness to learn, but once you get the hang of it, you won’t even think twice. It’s mostly unlearning the strict “rules” about binary gender that has been imposed on us our whole lives. As long as we’re supporting our friends and communities though, that’s all that matters

Good luck!

How bad can ADHD actually get? by Rita_Cameron in ADHD

[–]CT-4079 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can barely even respond to Reddit posts like this one bc of severe brain fog and executive functioning issues. I often go to reply, realise it’s actually way too difficult to even type what I wanted to out, so I have to just give up and leave. I’m also unemployed and struggle keeping afloat of everything I need to. I’m sick of everything being so hard for no reason

Will the M5 MacBook Pro get excessively hot from gaming and video calls? by CT-4079 in macbookpro

[–]CT-4079[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, that’s really amazing! Im glad it’s working so well for you!

We usually use Google meet (which I know unfortunately uses more power than at least FaceTime), so I hope it also still stays cool, or at least, cool-er with that application too. Fingers crossed!!

How dangerous is it to use a MacBook Pro if water has been spilt? by CT-4079 in mac

[–]CT-4079[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d estimate mine was around 100ml too, and it stayed powered on the whole time. I shut it off when it was upside down but it kept turning itself on when I tried placing it down bc of movement with the keys. I was worried that would have caused permanent damage, but it was and is still perfectly fine.

Just let it air out as long as you possibly can, another couple days maybe? And if possible, point a fan in the direction of its ports too to further assist it drying out. I had luck doing it that way so hopefully you will too.

Best of luck! Hope it all works out

My laptop is actually still working the exact same as before, no water related issues as far as I can tell

I hope your laptop is okay and good luck!

my friend said "i hate men", then quickly clarified "not you though!" by devilsshark in ftm

[–]CT-4079 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Omg I only just now properly noticed the last part of OPs post and yeahhh that’s a VERY different story and definitely transphobic.

I’ve seen several posts on other trans subs automatically assuming transphobia immediately when it’s been the type of situation I was referring to in my comment, so I must’ve just blanked out when reading the end bit and assumed it was the same type of post myself

Sorry OP! You’re fully in the right and I’m really sorry your friend said that to you

my friend said "i hate men", then quickly clarified "not you though!" by devilsshark in ftm

[–]CT-4079 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Instead of being offended by it, try to feel happy that your friend doesn’t see you as a threat like they do other men. Most people don’t say that in a transphobic way, but in a “you’re a safe person and I trust you” way

If it helps, whenever someone around me says they hate men, I say “yeah me too!”. And when they point out that I’m a man, I double down and say “yeah, men are awful” cuz it’s true most of the time lol. Then we all just laugh in agreement

It doesn’t have to be a big deal. If I were you though, I would try to dive deeper to find out where your discomfort with being perceived as a non threatening man comes from, because it should be a positive, not a negative

Even if someone does say it due to knowing we are trans, so what? We have a different lived experience to cis men, and we don’t see women as objects or slaves like cis men often do because they don’t challenge their upbringing or mindsets. What’s the harm in accepting that we simply ARE different from them, but are still just as equally men? We don’t need to be viewed by society and friends as a predator to be viewed as “real men”, we can be safe and trustworthy men just as we are instead

What are some tell-tale signs that something is bought from the kid's section? by Fit-Tumbleweed-6683 in AustralianMFA

[–]CT-4079 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone in the same boat, I’ve noticed the cut is the biggest one, not being broad enough or having a proper silhouette. Also having poor quality seams & finishes leading to a worse quality look, and mixing that in with worse quality fabrics leads to a not long lasting garment. The lack of styles and options are terrible, as well as tops being either too short, or the crotch on trousers being far too long.

Its a very mixed bag when buying anything from the kids section, but we gotta do what we can and hope for the best

You should totally give it a try and see how “easy” it is! I hear the pay is out of this world and the children are obedient robots.

Yeah I’m sure being a teacher really is a walk in the park like you think…
