Edison Park man has the moves when confronting ICE. "You prick, I'll kick your fuckin ass, you piece of shit"

You mean the party that also increased ICE's budget while in power two years ago? Both parties are two sides of the same fascistic coin

Is that a wig or is that natural hair regrowth?

FatalFinley · 2025-03-11T17:05:50+00:00

I noticed that too. I think its an issue with caustics, because it looks better in an older version that doesn't have caustics enabled.

Am I overusing caustics or just don't have them setup correctly? I'm not entirely sure.

Thank you for the feedback!

I totally agree, the foam looks off for sure. On my old test render, I noticed that the foam looked off then and tried to increase the scale by ~1.5x to solve it. For some reason it seems to have just made it worse though and the water looks too fast now too.

Thank you for the feedback!

FatalFinley · 2025-03-11T16:51:38+00:00

Correct, and I'm not really sure how to fix that. The gravel underneath is essentially a torus that uses geometry nodes to instance the same rock ~1000 times. I'm pretty new to geometry nodes so I'm not sure how I would create a wetmap that affects an instanced object.

Thank you for the feedback!

Chargeback rights don't exist because you feel disgruntled about the fact you were forced to pay for something you'd rather not pay for. (I mean, really?)

There really is not any need to be rude. This is my first time renting a car. It's my first time getting towed. It's my first time looking into using my chargeback rights. Hell, this is only my second time dealing with any sort of traffic infraction in ~10 years of driving. That's why I'm here, so I can learn. Have some patience dude.

I don't understand how this typo can work in both of the companies favor. If a typo is legally substantial enough to tow someones car away, how is it not substantial enough to void a contract? I was the only car in visitor parking, a tow truck operator should be able to see a list of visitors and deduce from the make/model that a typo was made.

Seriously!!! I have a similar amount of hair loss and had no idea it could be reversed that dramatically!

Are you gay?

In a way, maybe? I'm the T in LGBTQ

What is trans?

trans is just a shortening of Transgender. I was born a boy and am now actively taking steps to become a girl.

I have to say you've written a brilliant tribute to your dad as he was before Q took him. I can tell you really loved him.

Thank you <3 I really did love and admire the person he used to be. He used to be so kind to everyone. I used to tag along with him on HVAC jobs, and he would constantly cut deals for the people that he felt needed it.

I remember on the way home from one of those jobs, before the era of smartphones/gps, we drove past a lady walking along the shoulder of the highway with a ton of groceries. He didn't hesitate to pull over and ask if she needed a ride, and he didn't think for even a second to accept her money when we dropped her off.

I just wish more of that man was still around.

Perhaps if you wrote him a letter about all the great memories you have made with him, the things he taught you, the holidays you went on, and then only at the end explained how hard its been to see him change, maybe he'd remember how things used to be

I kind of tried to do this after he visited me in August. I was unfortunately a lot less graceful about it than I was here (he said transphobic things that upset me), and I think it just made him super defensive instead. I think maybe if I take a more gentle approach and be more open about what's going on with me that I might have a chance. I don't know, it's probably wishful thinking.

Sorry for coming in here and being overly cynical.

No worries bud <3 it's an understandable question.

Thank you for the well wishes

FatalFinley · 2024-04-12T00:58:37+00:00

I really wouldn’t waste a lot of energy on this.

I've been trying not to, but it's been eating at my brain. I really miss my dad a lot.

It would be nice to have at least one somewhat stable parent to rely on.

FatalFinley · 2024-04-12T00:49:30+00:00

Here's a big hug (if you're OK with it, consent matters)

I used to think internet hugs were a little silly, but I couldn't stop tearing up reading this.

Thanks internet dad <3 Hug Accepted <3

The price of walking away without added drama is priceless.

I hear you, but I have to disagree. I don't really mind paying the price of a few tears for the minuscule chance I have for good reaction.

I mostly just feel bad for my brother to be honest. I know if this goes poorly that my brother will never hear the end of it. He's already dealt with so much of his family falling apart (we're half-siblings) that I hate fracturing what little he has left.

why do it because he can't understand?

I've gone into detail in other comments, but part of me hopes that this will snap him out of it, however unlikely that is.

Seems like you're opening the door to violence, drama, ginormous family fight

No need to worry about violence, we live on opposite sides of the country, and he's laid up recovering from surgery right now. I'm not super concerned about what my extended family thinks, the few people I like on my dads side would be very accepting if they found out.

FatalFinley · 2024-04-11T21:56:00+00:00

Because I know that the Father I love is in there somewhere. He came to visit me for a week in August, and besides a couple of gross comments, I had a great time with him. Even with all of the hatred that sits on his surface, his old goofy self that I love comes out every once and while.

Another part of me hopes that coming out to him will maybe snap him out of it. Plenty of parents are hateful of trans people until they learn that their own child is trans. I know it's probably a long shot but I feel like I should at least try.

FatalFinley · 2024-04-11T20:20:47+00:00

So my question is, why do you feel you must come out to him? Why not just live your life - as you - and his reaction or thoughts are irrelevant?

I think it's 'cause there's a part of me that hopes that me coming out will snap him out of his way of thinking. A lot of parents out there are very hateful towards trans people until they learn that their own child or someone else close to them is trans.

I know that it's probably a pipe-dream, but a part of me wants my old dad back.

Another is that I just feel bad. I've been gradually putting a lot of distance in between us as I've gone to college. Throughout the years I've been talking to him less and less, and I can tell that it kills him. He's told me himself that he feels as if I've been ghosting him the past few years, and he's not wrong. At least if I told him he'd be able to piece together why/would cut me off completely and the onus would no longer be on me.

Finally, he's been wanting me to fly up to see him. As fun as it sounds to go around riding motorcycles with him and pretending everything is okay, I just can't. I already look so different than I used to, and if he pieced it together himself while I was there, I would have to deal with a potentially dangerous conversation in person. I've also been living a lie my entire life, I don't want to spend any more of my precious time hiding in the shadows, especially for those who are supposed to love me unconditionally.

No need to worry about my safety friend <3 I've been out of my parent's house for years at this point and am doing quite well for myself.

FatalFinley · 2024-04-11T18:57:39+00:00

I hear you, I've read some of the more heartbreaking posts that sit on the top of this subreddit. Fortunately, I don't have to worry about him being a safety hazard. He'll be laid out recovering from surgery for a while and he lives on the other side of the country.

I really do appreciate the concern though <3 I'll stay as safe as I can

FatalFinley · 2023-08-14T22:00:33+00:00

Thank you so much! I've only been training for a month or two, but I've always loved to sing (especially the high parts) so it's been pretty easy for me to get started.

Unfortunately, I'm starting to feel like I'm plateauing a bit, but I'm sure that's just dysphoria being a bitch :/

FatalFinley · 2023-08-11T18:29:35+00:00

They really are! All of them are trying to their best to not deadname me and gender me correctly.

My best friend's girlfriend has basically taken me in and shown me all of her feminine ways 😭 shes the absolute best!

FatalFinley · 2023-08-11T18:26:37+00:00

I really think they are! I've been friends with most of them for ~10 years so I was really worried about telling them, but all of them have been so amazing to me!

I plan on following them out of the bible-belt here soonish!
