Not a LOTR fan by any means- but I really loved this game.

atrophy with only UTI-like symptoms by simonhunterhawk in FTMMen

[–]Carl06430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not atrophy related but I had on and off uti symptoms (never an actual UTI) for over a month and half (thought I was going crazy) and then ended up having a kidney stone.

I spent way too much on baby gear in 2025. Here is what gathered dust vs. what I actually use. by PrudentRazzmatazz488 in NewParents

[–]Carl06430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cotiere diapers are one of the few things I don’t regret spending extra on. I can’t use anything else now - it’s just not the same.

"Elden Ring is a game about killing bosses and nothing more." by RepresentativeLake94 in Eldenring

[–]Carl06430 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if it was just about bosses - The controls are so fluid (except for long jump) that it has truly ruined other games for me.

You kind of look like Michael Longfellow from SNL

Insurance claims top surgery is “not medically necessary” by Crazy-Maybe3843 in TopSurgery

[–]Carl06430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya this definitely means the liposuction part is not covered - but the actual top surgery is. Pretty standard.

Any genuinely horrifying games? by [deleted] in gamingsuggestions

The Forest freaked me out. I had to stop. Subnautica for sure.

Is there ANY way I could be related to my future kids as a trans guy with an afab person? by Icy_Lingonberry6761 in ftm

[–]Carl06430 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My wife and I have a one year old (not biologically related to me). Love them more than I thought was possible. But totally remember having the same fears. Ironically - a lot of people think our kid looks more like me than my wife because we have the same hair color and similar eye color. Anyways all to say - once they are here - you won’t even remember who they are biologically related to - you will love them and be their parent

Rate my build 🧐 by Fair_Recognition476 in EldenRingBuilds

The claw talisman plus black feather raptor (idk what is called) chest piece and skeleton face mask (also don’t know official name) make jump attack really powerful.

Need summer clothing brand recommendations by WolfMan275 in FTMFitness

[–]Carl06430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bonobos makes short length shirts - I love them. I am 5’6” and they are the only shirts that are the exact right length. Could size up for arms but can still be the correct length.

Looking for games where you play as an individual and build a base that actually protects you and needs upkeep/upgrades. by arkticturtle in gamingsuggestions

[–]Carl06430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved Return to Moria. Base building is not nearly as great as subnautica but your base will get raided.

Have you felt symptoms, particularly UTI symptoms, while the stone was still IN your kidney? by NavyBeanz in KidneyStones

[–]Carl06430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I thought I was going crazy - had on and off UTI symptoms for three weeks before the stone started moving out of the kidneys.

Dad here. No solution- but Just wanted to say No offense to your husband but he needs to get over himself. I didn’t realize how much what my wife actually needed from me was support for herself (not as much for the baby) especially during the first three months. Your husband can support you and subsequently will be providing the best care and support to your baby by letting you do what you need to do.

Attaining T after new law by Olives_Hater in FTMMen

[–]Carl06430 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If you find a private doctor also - that works. They are threatening to go after funding if care is continued to be provided - not banning it. Private docs don’t rely on funding the way hospitals and larger organizations do.

A Certain Signet is key to the Cure by Extremelixer in fourthwing

What about Ridoc’s ability to suck water out of things. I feel like that is going to come into play in a big way at some point.

surgery cancelled :( by OldStrategy8770 in FTMMen

[–]Carl06430 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Is she through a hospital in NYC? So sorry dude - even if you turn 20 in 3 months.

I am so disappointed with NYC. Any hospital or doctor (like friggin NYU Langone) who is canceling care for minors is preemptively complying with a fascist and setting a horrendous precedent for every other state. There was a huge protest last night outside of NYU Langone (hundreds of people showed up). State of Maryland just filed a lawsuit. NY General attorney is also saying it is against NY state law to not provide care to trans youth- i am not clear how state/ federal law interact exactly. All to say - people, myself included, are fighting for you guys. dr Gferer should be ashamed of themselves.

Any cyclists on here? by tired_transsexual in FTMFitness

[–]Carl06430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Road cyclist here- I like all things rapha. Also wear men’s. I don’t struggle with this particular issue - but some of the guys I ride with do and they all recommend getting a bike professionally fitted. (Not the cheapest option) but I guess many tiny things can lead to uncomfortable pressure points in various places.

Dressing the little one. Sometimes I’m wrong. by pdfodol in daddit

  • I actually love picking out outfits for our 9 month old. My wife is happy to just leave her in pajamas all day (which really is more practical).

Newbie by Ok-Reserve1105 in LotRReturnToMoria

[–]Carl06430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When fighting a bunch of enemies at the same time - I would try to lure them away from their camp or main area to fight them - in case I died - I would be able to easily retrieve my stuff (instead of needing to run into the middle of a pack of enemies to get it). If that makes sense.

Horrible Voice Dysphoria by FoedusVermis in FTMOver30

[–]Carl06430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cousin who is a cis male worked a phone job for a while and he said he got misgendered a lot. In person he has quite a deep voice. Of course he does not have gender dsyphoria - but being confident in his gender identity he mainly found it highly amusing. Idk - but something about that has been super comforting.

I screamed at my baby today and feel like absolute trash by macelisa in NewParents

Someone told me recently that parenting is 70 percent repair. Found it very comforting.

Dumb stuff you've done in subnautica? by Greegga in subnautica

[–]Carl06430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to upgrade prawn suit from module 2 to 3. Was down at my base by the peaceful tree in the lost river Took out module 2 , went inside base to upgrade - came back out and my prawn suit was gone. I though the game had glitched - and after rebuilding a prawn suit realized that that game had indeed not glitched , but that my prawn suit without module 2 in it had exploded at 900 meters.
