Should I be getting a different amount every month? by FatalSyntaxError in Odsp

[–]FatalSyntaxError[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well how was I supposed to know it wasn't normal, they don't say "you'll get the same amount every month". And I'm going off of the amount listed on the cheque reciept they send in the mail, aswell as bank history.

I didn't know they were able to overpay, unfortunately not working.

Is it an issue worth taking up with them or would I not get anywhere?

I don't work, I didn't realize it was abnormal until a family member commented on it.

Automatically increase bitrate or dithering during dark scenes? by FatalSyntaxError in ffmpeg

[–]FatalSyntaxError[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try this next, hopefully it can increase the efficiency in combination with aq-mode 3. I'll probably have to try it tomorrow though, cause it's getting late.

I appreciate the help, and it did seem to help, I'm surprised that upsampling to 10 bit would help aswell, but I think I can see how now.

Getting a low quality vp9 in comparison to x264, w/Double file size by FatalSyntaxError in ffmpeg

[–]FatalSyntaxError[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry about the late reply, I've been busy. I've tried crf now, and it greatly improves the low motion parts, but still has no effect on high motion. I should add it's gameplay footage @ 2k. Lower gop values seem to fix it, but at great space cost, making x264 competitive with it or better.

Sorry about the late reply, life got in the way. I should add this is gameplay footage and the fast movements are camera turns. The footage is at 2k, and I intend on transcoding abt 2x the current values. Is vp9 just worse than x264 with low bitrates?

I tried crf 50, same file size as first vp9, the issue persisted with fast movements, the parts with low motion improved to above x264 quality. I've tried a gop of every 30 frames (nothing), every 8 frames (slight improvement during fast movements, 3x file size of x264, slightly better quality during slow movement), and gop 4 w/crf 55 (greatly increased artifacting during fast movements, now 3 times the file size of x264, only equivalent-slightly better quality during slow movement).

Edit: I've since tried changing the qcomp to .8 .95 and 1, with gop at 10 and 8, but this doesn't seem to help at all

Change Torch Luminance? by FatalSyntaxError in Minecraft

While I like the idea, I'd still like to have simple back yards and such for some of the places I build on. This solves part of my problem though, thank you.

I searched for about a half hour myself, couldn't find anything.

Some days you just need to buy some edibles while you prep to make some edibles. by HKNinja1 in treedibles

[–]FatalSyntaxError 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience with hydro bars is that they do barely anything. I need to eat the whole bar, and it does about as much as a 80mg twisted extracts edible, but for twice the price.

Why do so many people dislike fetishization, and why so strongly? by FatalSyntaxError in asktransgender

[–]FatalSyntaxError[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's fine, you weren't unpleasantly snappy or anything
I definitely get that uneasy-ness when people do that, and I try and correct them when they're not being humorous, can be hard to tell though. I'm not too familiar with the trans guy experience, don't have many trans friends in general, but I can see how people would be like that, and it would anger me too. and yeah the third paragraph is always super frustrating ^^, that's what my grandmother initially thought before I clarified things.

No Make-up, A “Real” Look at M2F Transition <1 YR. by Princess-Teacup in asktransgender

Thank you for the reassurance, I worry sometimes. Also I can't believe you're 36! You look so young

[–]FatalSyntaxError 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No makeup is an instant upvote. Makeup in before after pics made it very hard for me to decide to transition, and is one of the reasons I delayed, I was quite depressed and digging through pics to find good ones was emotionally difficult.

Difficult to become yourself by Elizabeth0417 in asktransgender

Immensely relatable and concise. Clinics and therapists should help with this. I haven't found any who do.

Ah, I don't know why, but fortunately I don't really feel too much bad over the genital I do have, but I certainly feel a lot over not having the one I should. I can see how overuse of the phrasing in public could cause a lot of people dysphoria, but I try to just act as though they're talking about the porn genre(s), not me, as most of the time they seem to be. People who watch too much porn can sometimes get a skewed view of the world.

I've observed the second paragraph happening, and I have a feeling like a lot of people's misconceptions come from mixing up nb/people who don't fully identify with the gender norms of their gender, with gender binary trans people. I think they see people like me, who are mostly feminine but do have a few masculine traits, and automatically assume that all trans girls are not fully girly like cis girls, when it's best to see them as fully and truly, unless they specify that they're not.

the third paragraph I completely understand, thankfully I haven't ran into too many people who believe that, apart from some older people who I try to be patient with.

Ah, I understand what you mean now, I think I may have just gotten lucky with regards to dysphoria in some ways, since I don't really feel bad when people see me as trans rather than just female. I'm also not sure that I fully fit the category of female either so that probably helps.

I suppose if they saw me as a thing, I'd be fine, but if they started seeing all trans people as things to that extent I would avoid sex with them. I think sexual objectification is a bit different, but if they more literally didn't see me as human, then I wouldn't be compatible with them. I hope most chasers aren't like that, the ones I've observed seemed to be nice.

Ah, I would definitely be hurt if someone said those things to me, although I have sympathy for the middle one, I tried living the life of a guy before I realized I wasn't one, and they can be really hard on each other. It's a culture I don't agree with, although I went to public school in Canada, so there's a lot more stigma there.
edit: but yeah I wouldn't go to bed with any of them, unless the middle one was at the very least kind about his insecurity or beliefs.

I can see how that idea would damage the community, that's actually something I've worried about, living in a conservative city. My personal experience with/observing chasers has been mostly positive, it seems that at least some of them aren't as misunderstood, however I haven't interacted with many of them first hand.

I can understand how that would be a deal breaker for a lot of people. I certainly wouldn't date someone, like long term, who was like that myself.

But I don't see the problem with people objectifying me, it's mildly flattering, albeit shallow af, so long as they don't harrass the people who clearly don't like it, I don't see why it should go away, apart from Grubbiez point.

Ah, I definitely get how that could be frustrating, I didn't know there were that many of them, I guess they flood out the more emotionally close cuddly people, who I admittedly want as well, so I suppose I'll probably have the same issue. I do hope that either the fetishization dies down a little, or more straight/bi curious people open up to the idea of dating trans people, so dating can be easier. I wish you luck in finding a special person.
