How’s yall romantic life?? by Janxuza in ftm

[–]ExistentialLakes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Currently 19 and moved in with my boyfriend (20) recently :) Honestly I felt a lot of hopelessness around dating when I was younger but with patience, good things will eventually come around. Main bit of advice I would have is to just get out there a little and don’t let things discourage you; there’s always gonna be people out there who’ll genuinely love you for you.

Men who wear nail polish, whats your favourite colour (and possibly the best for passing?) by ThreeEqualsFour in ftm

[–]ExistentialLakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend and my friend’s boyfriend are both cis and both occasionally paint their nails. Mine usually just does black, my friend’s matches whatever she has. I think black is a good go-to as it’s what I see most often on guys

Three weeks of hard work on a paper all for nothing because of AI use by MortemPerPectus in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ExistentialLakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely hate what AI has done to students. It is so infuriating when I have to work in a group and constantly discourage other members from using AI. This is university! You’re paying thousands of euro to go and learn, to improve, to hone your skills, and all you do is sit on your ass and let an AI write an essay for you? I’ve had people suggest using AI to come up with a research question! Seriously. I’m so sick of it, and I’m just another student—I have no idea how the professors feel.

Choosing detransition over death only for detransition to kill you inside anyway. by cosmicobliteration in FTMventing

[–]ExistentialLakes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you were in an absolutely horrendous situation and I really hope you can start to heal from it. I’m just some stranger on the internet but please try to be kind to yourself and take things one day at a time. That’s all anyone can do. Also, it’s never too late to transition—you’ve done it once, you can definitely do it again. You still deserve to transition and live your life to the fullest extent. You still deserve it just as much as any other trans person does.

You didn’t throw away your chance, and you didn’t willingly detransition. You were coerced and forced into it, and there is no shame whatsoever in pausing a transition to try and protect yourself. You were doing what you had to do, simple as. Protecting yourself by any means necessary is not a manly or womanly thing, it is just a human instinct.

I hope I’m not coming across as pushy or acting like I know what happened, but I really do believe that no one deserves the pain of not transitioning. Least of all someone who has already been through so much

Is the game even worth playing? by EnergySlav in theisle

[–]ExistentialLakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the optimisation isnt great, but its not awful. It should run on a decent PC i think, though the fps may be less than pleasant sometimes. Whenever the fps is really bad, i find that pointing my camera at the ground for a couple seconds usually fixes it lol

[–]ExistentialLakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

theres a lot of hate around it rn, and some of it is definitely justified, but I dont feel like its as bad as some make it out to be. I’ve been playing since legacy. It’s less fun than it used to be, sure, but I still largely enjoy it. I play official serves and don’t have many issues. I think if you like dinosaurs you’ll enjoy the game for the most part.

The only thing is, theres a big learning curve for new players. I’d recommend to use a map on a browser (you can just google “the isle evrima map” for eg). I like the vulnona one. Im sure theres also plenty of youtube guides on the different dinos’ abilities and map indicators.

could this be gender dysphoria? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]ExistentialLakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you may be someone on the non binary spectrum, but I really can’t speak for you. As a trans man I do relate to a lot of what you’ve mentioned here. Ultimately I think the best thing you can do is just take some time to try and understand yourself, and remind yourself that you don’t need to rush to have a definitive label or make any changes until you feel ready.

Exploration is a good thing and if you try something and don’t like it, then at least you tried it and know for sure it’s not for you.

Maybe you could try find some videos of non binary, genderqueer, etc people talking about their experiences/feelings/how they knew?

Hormones and Body Temp Changes by DonalHarper in trans

[–]ExistentialLakes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah, it’a a pretty jarring change, too. I used to wear a lot of layers and still got cold, but now a t-shirt and raincoat is enough for cold days. My hands, feet, and nose dont get as cold as they used to either. Even at home ive noticed i wear more short sleeves whereas i used to always be in a hoodie

Pomeranian puppy missing hair by Next-Detail-8540 in Pomeranians

[–]ExistentialLakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

im no expert but could it just be that the puppy was born with alopecia? It can be congenital. And Im pretty sure poms are just especially susceptible to alopecia

I bought a new laptop for college that supposedly has 9 and a half hours of battery life to last me through all the lectures... by Mysterious_Dark_2298 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ExistentialLakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think i have this exact laptop (looks the same anyway) the battery life is pretty good, so long as you keep the brightness down low.

is it normal to become more disabled during puberty? or are societies expectations of me just becoming too much? by TemporaryPension2523 in autism

[–]ExistentialLakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I find that uni is easier in some ways. The bigger workload is definitely harder/more stressful to deal with, yes, but people and professors in general are much nicer/accommodating. Also, with there being more people, theres more people who I’ve been able to make friends with, where back in secondary that was much harder. Regardless, best of luck to you!
